I've ordered direct from QSM before and they are a pleasure to deal with. Most of their books are worth buying sight unseen. I see they are expecting Patterns of Fashion 3 to be available in just a couple weeks now. Dawn ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] corsets
Who's the author? And do you mind if I forward this to a couple of my corset groups? -E House On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 3:15 PM, JAMES OGILVIE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yesterday I got a "review" copy of a brand-new book called "Corsets: > Historical Patterns and Techniques".

[h-cost] corsets
Yesterday I got a "review" copy of a brand-new book called "Corsets: Historical Patterns and Techniques". It looks like a great resource for those with interests between 1750 and 1917. (Unfortunately, I don't care about anything after 1650!) Janet ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

If it were me, I'd use a square foot *minimum* -- a square yard would be better if you can manage it. If the shape remains relatively even and smooth, you can either cut smaller pattern pieces from it, or use it to make a matching hat or mittens or both.
