Sounds like a really good idea to me, so I'd be in (although I agree with
Suzi about British customs, it works the other way round too (ie whether they
charge or not is completely at random!!)
But an idea of exactly what people's interests are would be essential.
Debbie.
Sounds like a fun idea Dawn :), please count me in.
And I agree with some of the ideas being tossed around, keep it simple
and costume related. How about an accessory or sewing notion/tool?

It looks fine. Perhaps because you only see it on the sleeve it looks a bit
shocking. All you need is a bit of it elsewherelike a
Aslong as the value of the package is not more then 22 Euro you get no

And the sender declares the value of the package, at least when shipping
from the US.
It would be a challenge to make someting from a period I don't know

Hi,
Just wondered, what will happen if a silk taffeta was dipped in cold water?
Would it get spoiled?
Thoaght about the water solluble solution for transfer of embroidering
pattern to silk.
I could try a small sampler, but thoaght some of you already tryed?

Thanks everyone for the comments on the regency gown. I expected the
sheer embroidered fabric to be a pain to sew but it was surprisingly
easy--a new, tiny, sharp needle probably helped. I'll consider adding
the satin to more than just the sleeves.
Next up: this one!

It's funny that some people are suggesting gift categories
without even getting a
Is there any interest among listmembers for a holiday gift exchange? I
envision it working something like this: folks sign up with their name,
address, and a 'favorite' (color, period, animal, technique). Each
participant receives the name of another participant and is then charged
with
I like the idea, too, but it might be better off if it were left
themeless. Not all of us celebrate the holidays in the same way (or for
the same reasons), or even do the same kind of sewing.
Certainly there are many religious holidays in December, and different ways
of celebrating them.
Would people choose names of recipients from the list or get randomly
drawn ones?
It would be randomly drawn.
Would we get some other info about the person so that it can kinda be a
get to know you thing also?
That's an option.
I'm open to suggestions. I'd like it to be fun for everyone

I rarely wear anything like the costumes you make. But I'd love to get
anything you did,
I won't have time to make anything (and most of what little I do make is
not in the token range anyway) but I have a huge stash of fabrics, art
postcards, trims, patterns, etc. that I'd be delighted to delve into, if
that's acceptable. I think I could find *something* that would be
appropriate
If possible I think it would be a really good idea for participants (or
as many as feasible) to put up a little web page and just give the link
to the coordinator. They can then list their ten favorite colors and
their five allergies without increasing the coordinator's work load. In
That does sound like a wonderful idea. I have done this in years past on
another list I belong to and even when it is an inexpensive item, shipping
internationally can easily surpass the expense limit if it is not a small and
light weight item. Shipping overseas from the U.S. should also happen

Spoiled no. But you'd probably lose some of the shine and crispness. It
works well on any kind of silk I've tried (though I've never tied taffeta).
Fix your dye with vinegar though, or use silk
Oh, yeah. Put me down, too.

I'm coming late to this topic. I have several pairs of pillowcases made by
my mother's aunt, probably late 1920s-40s. Three sets have designs based on
rick-rack, all are crocheted. Only one set has white rick-rack; the other
two are pink and blue respectively. Last year at a vintage clothing sale,
Right, well it looks like we have sufficient interest. :)
I'll try to answer the questions folks have asked:
My only comment is are you going to limit it to the U.S.
Anyone on the H-Cost list is invited. US and non-US members, men and
women, and especially the new members and lurkers.
