[h-cost] Wal-Mart fabric dept.
Today I was informed that since things have settled down, Wal-Mart feels it is safe to go ahead with it's plan to get rid of their fabrics. New Stores will not have the fabric dept. Some stores will phase out the fabric dept. and a few will have 2 and 3 yard pieces for sale. I was told at one store that they will no longer be ordering for the $1.00 table. They have already stopped ordering replacement of many of their non sale fabrics, like satin. So if you have a Wal-Mart with a fabric department it will probably go bye bye by January 2009.

[h-cost] Moda a Firenze or Queen Elizabeth?
Hi, I am planning to spend some money and I have a real dilemma. I am hesitating between Moda a Firenze and Queen Elizabeth's wardrobe unlocked. I've heard very good reference on both. I do not have any special area of interest, so Florence or England are both interesting to me, but I would welcome a detailed study with lots of large, quality photographs and also some tips on reconstruction (patterns or details - fastenings etc.) If you could boy only one, which one would you choose?

All other things being equal, I would buy Elizabeth and save up for Moda next time. Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe has more of the wonderful details about who made what and with what tools; it's more of a snapshot of Elizabethan clothing industry, with an emphasis on Royal clothing.

That way you can get rid of any excess dye so that you won't have any problems with colors running and any shrinkage will be taken care of.

Re: [h-cost] Fwd: Fabric.com: Deal of the Day - Wool Gabardine
It kind of depends on what you're using it for. I have some that I bought from another company and I washed it in warm water and dried it on low. It has since been washed on gentle in cold water and is hung up to dry. I made a cotehardie with it. Kate Sharon Collier [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can you wash this or must it be dry cleaned?

[h-cost] walmart fabrics
The reply to my Walmart messge about Fabrics: Thank you for your message. Dear Susan, Thank you for your recent inquiry regarding the fabric department in your local store. As with any merchandise decision that we make, we have based our decision to reduce the stitching and fabric departments on customer demand, which does not appear to be as high today for a full stitching and fabric offering in some markets as it may have been at Wal-Mart in the past. In keeping with our emphasis on being a store of the community, Wal- Mart is converting the fabrics and crafts department in some stores to a newly expanded assortment of merchandise that focuses on life's celebrations. We are thrilled to offer our customers this exciting new crafts and celebrations center that makes available craft and party planning needs along with information on current trends and new ideas in the area of life's celebrations, such as holidays, weddings and birthdays. In those stores where the new crafts and celebrations center is placed, merchandise commonly referred to as 'notions' will be included in the product offerings - such as sewing machines, yarn, needles, thread, etc. As a part of this conversion, most of our new and remodeled stores that opened earlier this year, as well as a small number of existing stores, will feature the new crafts and celebrations center in place of bolt fabrics. Wal-Mart will continue to carry cut fabric in most of our stores. Due to the continued evaluation of our stores, we are unable to share a list of existing stores scheduled to receive the new crafts and celebrations center at this time. Thank you, Wal-Mart Customer Relations ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

In case it wasn't clear, this particular request is not for SCA members or re-enactors. Their angle this time is that they are looking for a family that's into historic costume (presumably any period or multiple periods). I got a copy of the request too. It made my skin crawl -- I saw that episode with the SCA family, and it's pretty obvious it was a hatchet job. I can only imagine how this show would portray a family that enjoyed costuming ... as some sort of crazy cultists, no doubt. People in historic costume groups outside the SCA, though, might think this request is legitimate. If anyone is on discussion lists for ICG or similar interest groups, if the subject comes up, I would strongly urge pointing interested parties to the experience of the medieval re-enactors. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Ah, that is what our newish store here inside the Washington DC beltway has. Things like gift bags and such. But it does sound like they aren't doing that in ALL their stores. Thanks for sharing.

Re: [h-cost] walmart fabrics
PS But at least you seem to have gotten a reasoned response. And I will be writing, too. Thanks again for letting us see that at least someone is paying attention. I was with a group of true believers last weekend, and, while we were all lamenting the disappearance of fabric stores, we agreed it is because folks aren't sewing anymore--which is just what Walmart told you.
