Cate, Thank you so much for the offer. And I am no stranger to last minute projects. But I'll have me another machine in short order. I am in the middle of...
Cate, I work in 2 libraries and I couldn't resist looking that one up. I did not find it in the statewide catalog, but you would be surprised by what the ...
Elena has made a very kind offer! For those curious to learn more about the Encyclopedie Medievale by Viollet le Duc, there is an informational response...
Yes, what a great offer! Thanks, Elena! The book I have appears to be both parts - the first volume is architecture (including drawings of stained glass...
The August 2006 issue of Sew News has a nice article on how to construct a paper tape dress dummy. All you need is to wear a plastic trash bag as a tunic and...
Hi Gwen, Can you post your street address and/or directions to your house again? And remind me what time we are meeting and what time we are dancing. I know...
From Gwen's earlier posting (maybe we could put this in files or something?): Here are some directions... From the West: Follow 139 East across the I 95. *Look...
Hi, It looks like everyone has figured things out. Yes, the Tailor's meeting is at 1 and the dancing is at 2 p.m. Thanks for finding and reposting the...
I found a picture of a cotehardie the other day. It has pockets and buttons all down the front - all the way to the floor! Talk about eyelets... I don't...
Yeah, I thought about doing that--then I made about forty buttons and decided I'm not THAT enamoured with making buttons. I know I'll still make them, but...
It is in the Knight book that I still have to pick up from Barnes & Noble. I had second thoughts about the book, then really wanted the picture of that dress,...
Hi all, As Fort Knox approaches, I've been contemplating the trials and tribulations of nursing in garb. At our last meeting I asked for advice, but didn't...
Hi Gwen! I think you can put the neckline almost anywhere you want, whether or not it you find documentation for it. You're a nursing mother, make life easier...
Gwen - Did you see this site? http://www.florilegium.org/files/CLOTHING/clothing-MN-msg.text They seem to have some interesting ideas. I would think buttons...
I replied to this last night but it is evidently lost in yahoo's alternate universe. Who knows if or when it will show up so I'll try to hit the highlights...
You have been given some great advice. Neckline - Go to where you want to go. I think for you, a reasonably deep scoop will work the easiest. It seems that...

Thanks for all your help! I had the same idea as Margaret when I picked up the loops today, double the line and stagger it. I'm figuring on needing 95...
Good Luck! I really hope you are able to finish it. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I haven't put gores in a cotehardie yet, just some tunics for my sons....
Gwen, I have no idea how this affects your plans, but the buttons I have are off-white. My dress was ivory-colored. I know I don't have 95 of them, either....
Ys - Your blackwork is great and the corset looks like it has taken a lot of time! Thanks for sharing the pictures! Cate PS - Finally met Frazier at school...
Hi my knowlegable friends, I've pieced together the body of the cotehardie. It was amazing, I cut four full isosolese gores and somehow ended up with two...
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! This just in...A killer cotehardie has been spotted in the Fairfield area of Endewearde. It has apparently swallowed Gwen...
Lovely news bulletin, Margaret! Would someone forward me the location (room?) of dance practice this Sat? I would like to let my students know about it. Two...
Hi, all, We're having a bit of difficulty sorting out the dance practice schedule. That's going to be fixed soon, I hope! Once it is, I will be happy to host...
Raingear - I figure that if we plan for rain at the hunt it will be VERY sunny! Anyone have ideas for good raingear? I thought about shearing a couple of...
