Re: [h-cost] Does anybody recognize...?

[Chiara Francesca]

That is not enough info. :)

What does the presser foot look like, tall, pointing up and slender like a 
finger, pointing sideways, or flat like a table? What kind of cabinet is it in? 
How is it powered?

A bit of a long shot, but does anybody recognise the below description of a  
sewing machine?  
 
There's a guy on another forum I post to who wants to learn to sew, but  he's 
having problems with working out how the threading mechanism works.
 
"a very old german machine it is fully metal less carry case painted  
grey and has EXZELLENZ written at the top but no numbers on it"
 
If anybody has any ideas / suggestions, ta

Hey beautiful,

I don't know if you are planning you trip yet, but they started this 
conversation on the H-Cost list and these two posts looked interesting.


Hope all is well

The only book shop that sells
costume books for certain is R.D. Franks,
(http://www.rdfranks.co.uk/) and they are a specialist fashion trade
book shop, so there is a lot of modern tailoring/fashion student
orientated content. (I was disappointed when I went last.)

I was in London last year and there was a lovely used bookstore across the 
street from the British Museum. Sadly the only thing I remember about the name 
is it started with a Q. But they had a whole section about fashion in the back 
next to the Art books. I wish I could be more helpful than that.

I was interpreting her as wearing trousers, actually, though the size of the 
webbed picture makes any firm conclusions on her outfit premature.

Hi,

I'll be visiting London in August and I hope I'll finally get to some library 
or bookshop to look at all the books I've only read about at amazon or on this 
list. I don't really expect to buy a lot of things, maybe some books that are 
hard to get or some second hand costume books (any good shops?). I just want to 
see the books to make myself a list what to buy later, as I am a poor 
student:-DD

Is there any large public library or a library where most of the costume books 
are to be found?

Thanks for any tips,

Zuzana

[h-cost] T-Tunics -help fitting

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

 Tunics are every where -did you have a certain time or place in mind? It's 
easier to get a good result if you are aiming at a specific idea ( Russian , 
Norman, etc). I wish I could find Tim Nalley's  (AKA Mordak) pattern. He has a 
similar body shape and has solved the issue beautifully. As I recall, one of 
his tunic patterns has the body piece cut in 3 long rectangles, instead of one. 
The seam runs  vertically (about over the nipples) and gores are placed in 
these seams. It's very graceful and allows for extra belly space. If you are 
interested, I'll ask Tim for more costuming information, he's a very good 
costumer and loves to share.

Here are some good patterns, many are based on extant garments

1) Hubby has grown quite a beer belly, which is a bit of a fitting
challenge.  I have some methods, and i base the basic construction on
http://www.virtue.to/articles/tunic_worksheet.html, but i am always having
trouble dealing with how to adjust the fit so that the shoulders are not too
big, yet the belly drapes ok, and the gores do have to start directly under
the arms.  if anyone has pointers on how to gracefully manage t-tunics so
that they look nice and fit all parts of the body, i would be most grateful.
I end up not making the main tunic a rectangle, but a more of a trapazoid,
and if i need to i can making a drawing and post it, but I assume that
ya'all have better methods then i do, so what would be the point, but if you
want me to, I can post.

I spend a week in South Shropshire every August and have visited Berrington 
Hall from there. I too wished that the costume collection was on display. I 
believe you have to make special arrangements to view it and only on certain 
days.
