    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I agree with sewing straight lines to start. Pillow covers and aprons are great to get the feel for the machine. And a skirt, a simple A-line, is a good option for a first garment. The first few pieces I made were with clearance fabric, not junk, just fabric on sale...off season fabric, etc...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Royal Crown is a popular pomade in the US. :D

    Show us your hair do's....

    Red, I will have to try this. I never would've thought to try this. I would think that Royal Crown would weigh my hair down too much. Thanks for the tip.

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    I wouldn't buy a new one...but I have no issues wearing a vintage fur. If it is in good condition, why let it rot away sitting in a closet somewhere?

    Anything wrong with wearing Red to a Job Interview?

    Go for it... I think red should be fine. Red is classic. Like ITG said, as long as it is a fresh manicure without chips (or the hair lines I get in mine when I do my manicure too late in the evening:o ). I would make sure that the red polish is part of a classic and conservative package...

    Our own vintage town

    I believe there were no tie die shirts and women sans their underpinnings in the Golden Era. We'er talking 30s-40s not 60s-70s.

    Christmas for Aunt Sis

    There are also many sets of old radio programs on CD. Think The Shadow, Amos and Andy, etc. Check Ebay, do a search for "OTR" or "Old Time Radio". Good luck. I thinkk you are on the right track to find something she will enjoy.

    Vintage Style - A Series of Tips

    OH MY!! I started wearing my undies over my garter belt about a year ago. I felt like a freak doing it...like I was being lazy. But, if I didn't, you're right, it took 20 minutes to detach and re-attach and get put back together. I'm excited to know that I am quite "normal" doing this.

    Thank you! The price depends on where you find it. I have been fortunate to find a few people that are reasonablewith thier prices. Some of the antique malls try to charge "book value". If that were the case, this sharpener would have been two to three times what I paid for it.

    Show us what you've made!

    From a dress... Very impressive. I wouldn't know where to start. I can do some and I mean some alterations, but never thought of a complete revamp. Nice work.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    I just heard a discussion on this on the radio this morning. The suggestions were whites (a chardonnay, a semi-sweet to dry reisling) or a lighter bodied red. Stay away from the Cabs. Hope this helps.

    So you beautiful ladies that are going to the Cicada in Jan

    The Dress??? I think this is going to be it. I may be on here in a few weeks sitting in a pile of navy blue satin completely bald from pulling my hair out...but none the less, here it goes. The dresses I have made in the past have been "easy" patterns with forgiving fabric. Fortunately I'm...
