There are knitting yarns made of this already, and yarns made of milk. In,
I believe, the 1880s, the new fiber was one made of wood (Rayon).

I would not use those for binding corsets. I do bookbinding as a hobby and
those skins are vegetable tanned and very stiff and non stretchy as that is the
qualities useful in bookbinding. I believe washing skins are alumtanned or
something like that. At least they are much softer and pliable
Milk??? Hmmm, now I have heard of textiles made from the cellulose in
soy, but milk? I can't remember right now which product, but either
Silk soy milk, or Vitasoy has a little history of all the textile
stuff that Henry Ford tried to use soy for. Some of my spinner friends

Dear All,
Long time, no write. Sorry.
I'm looking for information on how to make something I
think is called Arrowhead Reinforcement. It's a
finishing technique where the top of a slit (usually
on shirt tails, I think) is reinforced at the end by a
hand stitched arrowhead style design.

I've been asked to help find sources for costumes for a school play...
I believe they are doing the Columbus story. My information on Portugese
clothing of that time is very thin... would it be safe to use Spanish
sources? English?

I doubt you would need a leather needle to sew Kid, but you might get one
just in casefor the machine I mean. And since it stretches a bit, if
you have a walking foot...one with feed dogs to move the fabric on top
as well as underneath, you might find that helpful. This assuming you're

Hi Carol.
Thanks for your informations. I didnt know that some bones were anchored to
the channels.
Wiessner boning is hard plastic, but you actually can sew trough it with a
strong sewing needle on the machine.
But i plan to bind all the edges by hand, i also sewed all the sections
together

Corn - the new peanut. Sounds like they are trying to make corn into
everything from clothes to gas.
However, thin, not stretcy fabric sounds good and the dress in the picture

During the 1500s I do believe that Portugal and Spain did not get along with
each other. Said to be like siblings trying to one up the other.

many years after this that you get the Jewish exodus from Spain and

Yes, the problem we will always have here is different names used by
