as you can before they close.

Bummer!! Next to the Brimfield summer session, my annual shopping in
northern Ma has been a longtime haunt for costume trim. Always great
bargains for trims and notions and the unusual find. And wo could beat the
automatic markdowns.

Hi Aylwen,
I just did a very very superficial check on Geman
sites. In short, I found out that the Vendish
were a Slavic tribe/people and closely related to
the Sorbs. There is still a minority in eastern
Germany. Vendish and Sorbish appear to have the
same roots, but during the GDR the Sorbi

I'll contact Bjarne off-list and fill him in on some fun places onlineto

Yes, although the sources page is missing. I will get it back up later.

Its been amazing how many dancers here have adopted the Bordonian identity.

Acrylic will make it stiff.

I once added colour to trim by hand painting it with regular dye - it was

Having gotten way too much paint on my clothes over the years, (I paint
sets, I can tell you that acrylics do not easily wash out. Plus, they go
through the washer and dryer. I've washed my paint clothes loads of times.
Try the wash/paint technique first, because they do add stiffness.

Having done a certain amount of fabric painting in my youth, dilute
acrylic paints a bit so they sink into the fabric and are more flexible.
There's medium you can buy to add that's specifically for fabric, but I
never noticed that it made much of a difference.

A bit of a warning... most of the online doll communities I know of
have a pretty high drama quotient.

I seriously suggest using the medium if one wants to
paint with acrylics on fabric. Acrylic will flake or
peal over time, and the medium helps to prevent that.
I lost my favorite theatre stage hands shirt because
we didn't know that when we painted them with watered
down, but straight acrylics.

Can you find a site with the St. Nick painting?
It is possible (without seeing the painting) that it could be a wide guard
or a replacement of a worn hem with different available material.
