... I used the Laughing Moon (Dore version) corset and I really liked it. I was nervous to attempt my first real corset and it was easy. If we get a chance...
Hey everyone! I've drafted a pattern for myself that makes a good Tudor/Elizabethan corset. However, I have never even attempted a more hourglass Victorian...
Sorry it took me so long to reply on this! It's not that there's anything wrong with being in the performing company, it's just not for me. I never took...
Starr, If you don't mind me asking, why do you not want to be part of Scarbie any more? Maybe it is just me being a bit naive but I would love to be part of...
I've been sewing since I was five years old. My Great Grandmother taught me on her 1920 Singer treadle (which sits in my dining room now). My feet wouldn't...
LOL I am beginning to feel guilty here! I have spend more time sewing everyday clothing (I hate to shop) then focusing on costumes. Sigh. AnneMarie ...
Right now I think we are only speaking about the first meeting, not all of them. LOL! We will definately want to try and plan events and meetings at various...
I really like all costuming. I've created a Tudor and a Venetian gown so far with plans for a 1877 Victorian and a 1590's Elizabethan. I alos have my eye on...
If we could have the meetings a little closer in that would be great. I live in Weatherford which is 40 miles or so west of Ft. Worth. Carrolton/Lewisville ect...
I would offer my place because it is large, but it is also filled with fabric chaos atm, so probably not the best choice. :P Traci is down the street from me...
Hello, yall! I'm not known among you (with the exception of perhaps you, Starr? We may have some mutual friends). I'm a *very* amateur seamstress - I can sew a...
I am interested in all of the above - movie recreations - different eras - fantasy - etc etc etc - I like all costuming - I am also interested in learning more...
I want to add something to my availability - I work Monday through Friday until 8:15 pm - so a weekend afternoon meeting might be better for me or I may have...
Since you are all listing off your costuming interests: First... why I sew... I'm actually learning. It's taken a while to dive in and really try to do...
Hello again everyone! I created a poll in regards to where everyone would prefer to try and meet for our first meeting. I thought this might be easier for ...

Oh - Trac - forgot. I am sure it is ok with Jeff to offer our place as well... Julie ... Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief...
... Madeleine usually have side rooms that can be closed off for groups, that might help with the noise… Mmm... La Madeleine! Love their shrimp and spinach...
Ok... let me first say this... I prefer homes where we could have a pot luck and talk. Restaurants can be noisy. Also, as I just moved, I will be willing to...
And just for a conversation starter, what genres of costuming are all of y'all interested in? Greetings everyone! I like many eras, but I think I love Tudor or...
... It would definitely be open to everything! We just happened to hatch the idea at a Victorian event, but that doesn't mean that's all we would do. And just...
I’m OK with either a home or a restaurant. Places like La Madeleine usually have side rooms that can be closed off for groups, that might help with the ...
Hello everyone! The Botanical Garden sounds like a great place to meet. I also like your idea of a museum gathering Jen when the exhibitions roll around. This...

I'm game on either meeting at someone's home or a resturant - though I do agree that a resturant might get loud. I have one idea for a place that might be fun...
This all sounds wonderful, Traci! I wouldn't mind going to your place, I think it would be easier to hear as sometimes restaurants are a bit loud and a little...
I thought I would send out the first message and see if we can't get this ball rolling; I know we all are very excited to! The first thing we need to do is...
