Re: [h-cost] What's your dressmaker​'s dummy wearing today?

[penny1a]

My girls are still celebrating Mardi Gras.  I got a beautiful Indian 
embroidered & beaded belly-dancing costume in the French Quarter of New 
Orleans. I also picked up some great hand painted masks in the Quarter.  

Another one of my ladies is wearing my evening gown from a Mardi Gras ball...my 
treasure find in Mobile was an evening bag that is completely fringed Mardi 
Gras colored beads...gold, green, & purple set upon gold satin.  It went to the 
ball with me.  The bag is so cute that I used it when we went to see The Lion 
King last week.

BTW, I found the costume mecca at the French Quarter on Mardi Gras Day.  We 
went to the Zulu Parade and then headed into the Quarter.  OMG!  The costumes 
were to die for!!!  85% of the people were in costume.  We caught the Bourbon 
St. Awards...a costume contest.   Most of these costumes were 12 ft high.  I 
did catch the St. Anne's procession through the French Quarter.  If you have 
Facebook, you can see some of my photos here:

[Paula Praxis]

A couple of weeks ago I sent my Pfaff Creative Vision in for some needed 
service and found out there was a complete repair process to replace all the 
tension wheels.
 It now works like MAGIC.  The way I'm sure it was meant to work. I am now 
happily embroidering every suitable piece of fabric and turing them into bags, 
framed pictures
 or backseat organizers!  
  My next big project is my daughter's wedding dress.  We are both very excited.
 
Happiness in stitching,
Paula

[scourney]

  So, what's your dressmaker's dummy
wearing today?


The draped fabrics for an 1910s dress for the Portland vampire masquarade 
ball - the friday event most likely. It's dark red silk with a black silk 
gauze overlay and accents of dark gold. As soon as I take my final - I get 
to start cutting.

Mine has 4 yards of brown velvet with a fine pink stripe, and a yard each of 
bright pink satin and dark brown silk that is supposed to turn into a 1910 
day dress. Oh and a half completed corset.

if it might be a cookie, you could purge your whole cookie file. we do that 
occasionally on principal, and sometimes when things have slowed down a bunch. 
Safari. good luck!  should be able to do it on Firefox too. it's not terribly 
inconvenient, probably 99% of cookies will replace themselves the next time you 
go to whatever site they came from.

I can assure you, it's still worth the trip, unless maybe you have a room-size

sheer expanse till you see it in person.

It took me reading the articles twice before i found it wy at the
bottom. It is there. It seems to be a partial link but it opened for me.
It's lovely and worth the work to find it. As one of the articles says,
it's a piece from Art History 101. I fell in love with it as a teenager and
it's even better now with this restoration.
