Hi all! Just wanted to share with you that I've created a new Flickr group to share photos from Costume College. So, if any of you *already* have a Flickr ...
Hi, I really, really want to teach a class or two at CC but I am so nervous about it. I think I have some good ideas for classes but it just scares me ..LOL...
I've only made a couple of stays/corsets of 18th C. style. However, I have fabric for at least 3 projects that I intend to have finished come next...
If you are an actress than you understand about preparation and presentation. That is half the battle with teaching any class. When we teach we are...
Hi Jennifer! It was so good to see you at CC. You were just breathtakingly lovely at the gala. Iguess I will look into itl Thank you for the links. I don't...
... An actress, eh? Teaching, particularly a one-off thing, should be a snap!! Get your prep work done, as Toni mentioned, and then turn on the teacher...
I've made the Robe à l’Anglaise or English Nightgown before it is a lot easier than it looks. I think I'll try that one again, this time for myself, last...
That would be neat, Toni...I can see I must do research....oh well, I love this stuff so it is fun for me! In a message dated 8/14/2008 3:13:06 P.M. Pacific...

I haven't made JP Ryan's stays, but I had really good luck with the Simplicity historical pattern: http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=3635 This was my...
I've made the JP Ryan strapless stays pattern - with tons of bones. That sucker is heavy! But the beautiful cream brocade and cream silk binding looks...
I made the JP Ryan stays and they came out wonderfully. I used reed, which is lightweight and breathable. My documentation on that project (including all of my...
Those are fabulous! I am definitely using reed next time. What was your source for reed? Silly Sisters carries 1/4" reed. Jennifer R.  If you're ready...
I got mine at the Caning Shop in Berkeley (http://tinyurl.com/5rmvcl), but I know a lot of people who go through Silly Sisters for their reed and haven't heard...
I work nights and am just getting caught up on messages...and learning how to navigete around here. Jennifer, if I had something worthy, I would be a guinea...
Just saw some lovely posts about what to make for the 18th Century themed Costume College next year and wanted to point out something... The Theme dictates...
Cool, Megan, That's a great point. I have been looking at 18th C and it is scrumptious but as I said, very daunting to me. I will stay in my comfort zone next...
There is a George and Martha Washington Harvest Ball in Riverside on November 15. It includes a Turkey Dinner for $40 a person. The dress is" evening...

But did anyone else get their Costume College registration form with their September Squeals? I didn't. I just got the Squeals and tore it apart. All of the...
... I did the same thing because everything I heard at CoCo was that it would be in the September Squeals. And then I went looking through and saw that it...
Hi INgrid, Thank you for the very inspiring words! I have made up my mind to do it...I will write to them today! In a message dated 8/25/2008 8:31:53 P.M....
Same actions here. I was tearing into it in the driveway! 8 P I think what they meant was it will be mailed in the month of September (i.e. the October...
How about these? **That meant the Squeals that gets MAILED OUT in mid-September, not the one that says it is the September issue. Yes, it is a little...
