[h-cost] Organization
I don't particularly store single project materials together. The fabric is on the fabric shelves, the lace (or whatever) in the appropriate drawer. It gets taken out when it gets made. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] 14th-century woman's outfit
We do all sorts of custom made historic costume...but, the webpage is in progress so most of the products are just for inspiration, we mainly sew clothes according to the customers own design (in this case, a chosen dress from a manuscript or so on...) Nevertheless, we're from Czech Republic. Zuzana ___ Sartor...custom-made costumes www.sartor.cz ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Organization
Here is what project organization I have. I too use the big ziplock bags. I store them in rectangular baskets or plastic tubs if I have several of them going at once. This way I can flip through them like files and find what I am looking for. I also use an Iris Scrapbook chest http://www.spacesavers.com/scrapbookchest.html to keep portable handwork projects in. I just grab the case I want and go. For bigger projects, I hang the fabric or big cut pieces over a hanger bar and put the smaller pieces in a bag and loop the handles over the hanger hook. Susan If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it? A. Einstein Hi, all, How do you store projects? I have a lot of those big Rubbermaid tubs for storing yardgoods; but what do you use for keeping individual projects together--pattern, fabric, etc.? I've been using 2-gallon industrial size Ziploc bags, but they are slippery, and from time to time I have a project avalanche. I mean, yes, I should probably only have one project going at a time and then it wouldn't matter so much. But since I don't, any suggestions? Lauren Lauren M.

Re: [h-cost] Organization
I have two sets of wire drawers of various sizes that I use to keep my projects together. They are a bit pricey but if you can find a sale they are worth it. I got mine at Home Depot and you can get the rack for them in a couple of heights and the drawers in 3 or 4 depths so you can have your 'skinny' projects and your 'thick' projects and have them in appropriate sized drawers. I also use the giant Ziploc bags for smaller projects like shirts/chemises. Karen Seamstrix -- Lauren Walker wrote: Hi, all, How do you store projects?

Re: [h-cost] Organization
I keep it all on a hanger. With a bag holding the notions and related items, and the garment on the hanger. IF there's no room in the closet for another bulky hanger, it's time to finish something.

Re: [h-cost] odd sideless
otsisto wrote: Thank you Robin. I did find out that Margrete (Margarete II) of Flanders was a Countess who died in 1280, so the statue is perhaps post mortem but there is Margarete III http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_III_of_Flanders who is shown wearing a sideless. Born 1350 and died 1405 so the statue could be her. Margaret III was a duchess, and in fact I assumed that was her in the donor image because of the life dates, but I didn't delve deeply into the background on the artwork so perhaps it specified which Margaret. However, if it's not necessarily a live donor representation, then the statue could be either of them. The 1380s sculptor would have used the surcote for anyone of that rank regardless of her life dates. (At St.-Denis in France, there are literally rows of funeral effigies of past queens, going back centuries, all in the same surcote style. The whole group of effigies was made at the same time.) Could Flanders have been a step or two behind English fashions? If anything, Flanders (Burgundy) was a step or three ahead. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
