Dana did you have a pattern or just wing it?
Paula, I had to wing it like a bird, it took about 4 trys to get a scallop that I liked. If you want a copy of the scallop pattern PM me with your address and I'll send it to you. Thanks Anna, they will be making their debut Saturday.  |

Very pretty and I really like the colors. I love the bonnet ribbons, such a nice color. |

accessories. this summer's funnest sewing project (besides many others) the housewife for several of my siblings and a daughter-like friend. i didn't take pics of the first two i made for my daughter and a niece, which i made with period fabrics (cotton, wool, silk). oops! my bad.  anyway here is the link to my picasa album (oh how i wish i could figure out how to actually post the photos instead-) https://picasaweb.google.com/118365763323227217927/HousewifeSewingKit?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCImruPO36szk0gE&feat=directlinki am still waiting for anna's book to make it out so i can finish the last 3 family housewives (with a box) because these will be for the actual sewers in my family. the ones in my album are for the "button mender" family members (hence the wacky fabrics on a couple- they match their personalities) tee hee. ohhh anna wherefore art thou?  |

Not Anna's delay... it's the illustrator/publisher who is woefully behind schedule. Anna's finished her gorgeous part some time ago, right on schedule! |

Hey everyone, I thought I would share some pics of the commission I just finished for Auntie B, a Victorian Travel bag!  The bag is made from black linen and trimmed with cotton ribbon (as opposed to the original, which had twill tape and featherstitching). It?s basically a rectangle that?s been sewn into a tube with two circles attached to the end, so that it looks like a duffle bag. The handles are also made of the ribbon, but two layers of it, and the bag closes with 5 black glass buttons:  And the interior is this neat tan, red, and black repro cotton:  I'm making myself one, as well, and they should get a lot of use at our camping event next weekend! |

great job! She'll not loose that in the airport. I find these indispensable. I added pockets to the lining and just keep all my needed items in it all the time. Just put the clothes in and go-modern, or period. So cool!!

I just acquired an original traveling bag. It's similar in size and shape but has a nifty buttoned flap, a shaped handle, an inner pocket, and is trimmed in braidwork in a scroll pattern. It will be on my 2013 class schedule. Regards, Carolann |

Thank you everyone for the lovely compliments! And Bevin, the pocket thing is a really good idea. I haven't finished mine yet, so I think I will add some pockets to it. And Carolann, now you're realy tempting me to save my pennies to attend the conference next year. |

Most girls talk about the latest fashions and the hottest teen singers.
I talk about 1860s fashions, sewing, the next event I'm attending, and how a good looking guy is the one wearing a uniform.

I wanted to post a picture of my pineapple purse I made from an 1844 pattern. I made it with a fingering weight silk. It could also be made from purse silk but I wanted to practice before I try it that fine. I think all in all it looks pretty nice. Thanks for letting be brag a little.  Betsy |
