Seamstress for hire?
:offtopic: WOW. i knew there was a reason taking sewing classes (going back to basics so i can do stuff faster and correctly) is on my action plan to finding a new career. i didn't know if sewing could potentially be enough to live on, or pay a good chunk of the bills at least. i guess it's...- ShooShooBaby

Show us what you've made!
faythe, i know i've seen similar patterns, either in my copy of Blueprints of fashion: home sewing patterns of the 1940's or on ebay. if you got the pattern, maybe your mom could help you adjust it to a different size (most vintage patterns are TINY!), or you could use it in conjunction with a...- ShooShooBaby

Tablecloths in the 1930s and 1940s
besides catalogs, another great place to look would be period crochet/knitting books and magazines. you could probably find similar pieces to what's inside on ebay/antique store/etc, if you didn't want to make it yourself. i always see tons for various household decorations, but not for the...- ShooShooBaby

Additional Forums?
on the regional note, i was thinking it would be cool to have a spot where different regions could have general "what's going on around town" threads. there are a couple things coming up in my area, but i don't think they warrant a thread on their own, but i don't want to start a whole new post...- ShooShooBaby

Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff

Let's Be Gorgeous!

Don't you love when it all comes together?
Nicolletta and Daisy, have either of you tried acupuncture for helping with pain management? i work in a clinic that sees over 200 people a week, and we help out a lot of people with Crohns, Fibro, and Arthritis. it can be great for pain management for a lot of things. It can be expensive...- ShooShooBaby
