    Altering Vintage Finds?

    here ya go, miss 1929... hope this isn't too :offtopic: --> it's lined with material that i believe to be early 50's regulation girl scout uniform fabric. i used the label AND the diving girl in the final product - didn't even remove the girl!

    Vintage-Inspired clothing lines

    jcrew has some wool sailor pants in the women's clearance. it looked like they at least had either black or navy in each size from 4-16. i won't link since you look things up by size in the sale anyway. they're still really pricey but jcrew stuff, IMO, tends to fit well and last long. there are...

    Altering Vintage Finds?

    Crochet anyone?

    i honestly don't find it that scratchy, even on my neck. i know some types are less so than others. i think merino is supposed to be pretty mild. for me, the tradeoff of a little scratchiness is that it regulates heat and moisture much better than synthetics. even when i'm on my bike in the...

    Crochet anyone?

    i would advise starting with something meatier than thread, till you get the hang of your stitches. make a scarf, and you'll never forget the basic stitches you used, ever! and you can give it away, if you don't want a scarf. i personally love working with and wearing wool over acrylic. brown...

    Shag Me, Baby - Need Rug Advice

    i have no idea when shag was invented (but i think it was later than 30s-40s), but can i recommend, if you have children, RUN, not walk, RUN away from shag! legos, barbie shoes, playmobile, and every other kind of small toy kids love become endlessly lost in shag. and then you step on them later...

    meggan, you should search around town. where i live there are multiple people who specialize in putting new lenses into vintage frames. maybe there is someone similar in your neck of the woods. maybe they can help.
