    my first sewing project!

    And then you'll be an old pro at sewing. Because, as everyone who's been sewing eventually figures out - when something goes wrong - put a bow or a ruffle on it to hide it.

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    It does. You have to make it smaller than you are just so that when it stretches with the push of the foam, that it's your size. Fun fun.

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    It took about a month and half to get Betty slimmed down to anywhere near my size. This included the initial fitting and wrangling her into the cover and then all the subsequent runs of alterations/struggling to get her back into it/measuring and taking it off again. I had ordered the smallest...

    Film Noir Honored at Oscars

    They had many clip montages last night. . . so many that Stewart even joked about having a montage of the montages. They were all to celebrate the history of movies and the Academy. . .keeping in theme for the night. I know I enjoyed the montages more than everyone's speeches. The noir one...

    QM prep

    I have a checklist, except it's subject to changes every day. . .so I won't post it for a month or so more when things start to finalize in my head. But I've been planning and searching ebay almost since the end of last November. Sad, I know. :rolleyes: You're not alone, Neecerie. Not by far.

    How to travel with hats

    I always travel with a large hatbox as my 'personal' carryon, as well as a small rolling case. I've yet to have a problem with any airline when storing them in the overhead bins.

    depression-era style photoshoot
