Greetings
I'm searching for a source for a faux sheared white fur. When I say
sheared, I mean fairly closely sheared--the pile is quite short and
flat. I used to be able to get a really good-quality fur of this type
from Fabulous Furs, but to my dismay they no longer carry it.
I'd like to

I go through phases where I just can't motivate myself to work on yet another
costume. Sometimes, I don't want to bother with all the preparation and time
involved in going to a live action roleplay event. That's when I take a break
for a month or two, and then I'm ready to go again!
I hope thi

All my other hobbies. As much as I love sewing, costuming and dressing
up, it's not my entire life. Go outside, try something new. Resurrect
old hobbies that you used to enjoy. Try out a hobby you've never done
before. Go to the beach.
It's n

I just stop for several months, and look around, go visit my family

Dallas, TX, and back again. put on over 7,000 miles on my truck. i

Take a break! It sounds like the thought of doing more costuming work right
now would stress you out; pay attention to that and just ...let it go for a
while. You don't have to do it if you don't want to.
But do keep up your contacts--the people who've entered your life through
costuming don
Bjarne,
Telling stories? Like historical stories? Dress up in your fabulous
clothes and volunteer to share your talents!
Or, just take a break for a while and try something completely
different.
Best of luck. We all get in a slump sometimes. Good friends help pull
us out!

Take a complete break from it. Set yourself a week to avoid all activities
related
You pack everything up and you put it away cause as soon as the bug hits you
again you will regret your action of giving or selling them in the very
worst way. It will hurt in your chest, it will make you cry, it will make
your throat go dry. Pack it up nicely and as you touch each piece remembe
Go see your doctor--it sounds like you're depressed!
If you really do not want your costumes, consider donating/selling them to a
theatre group or movie costume company. Of course, if they are your
costumes, Bjarne, perhaps a museum would like them for items people can
handle when the old ones are
Oops, I forgot this one. You could teach. You do such fantastic work,
perhaps you could teach others how to do what you do. Some people might not
want to be re-enactors, but would like to learn just because they enjoy
creating a thing of beauty.
Or go dancing, that always cheers me up.

What do you do when you finally realise you dont want to reenact
anymore, and when your costumes gets bored to look at?
May I add, don't get rid of all your stuff yet! You probably do need a
break--I bet that the problems you had with the green silk were more
discouraging
than you told us at the time.
I wish you could come here to the States and meet some of your fans. Now
that is an idea--could you plan
Some of the stuff carried by Denver Fabrics is very nice--get samples,
though, as some is sft and feels very natural, and some feels just plain
unpleasantly polyester.

Maby take a break and do something totally different.
Take some distance.
But some things will never dissapear totally.
I love ballet and making costumes.
I quit ballet when I was around 15.
But started again when at 27.
I do it now twice a week and love it even more than before.
With costumes,

I'd suggest that you pick up all of the things that are making you feel this
way (be it re-enactment clothing, costuming stuff, whatever), put it into a
