I see the link for Joggles did not show up on my previous post:
www.joggles.com
Go to the tab for classes and scroll down until you see the take out box.

I have decided to join this group and see what is going on here. The Fiber Focus group is so diverse, I am constantly discovering new things.
I invite you to see my art work
I am currently re designing my website, so visit again soon as it will look totally different. I have a blog to but have found posting to be a hassle. When the website is complete the blog will be included and hopefully, I can stay on top of it better.
I have an online class coming up on Sept 30th. Offered on title: Think "outside" the Take out Box. 4 lessons, $45. This is a fun and whimsical project that utilizes "cotton/parchment"; which is paper bonded to muslin. This can be used to make many things. The box has very special contents as well. A cute little tray fits inside to hold 4 Faux sushi (fushi), which are very realistic! Check it out and consider joining me!

I am glad to see you here, Diana! Your mosaic quilts are quite impressive and I am sure we will all benefit from your input.

Hi Diana, Your photo mosaics are beautiful. How many have you done? I have one finished and one in progress. You can see it by going to my page. Nice to have you as a friend. What are you working on?
Diana Bracy Comment by Diana Bracy on July 26, 2009 at 2:56pm
Hi, I am Diana Bracy and love creating art quilts. I am happy that we now have a group here.

What are you working on this summer? Let's get some discussion going!
My youngest son and his fiance are getting married next spring. I'm making them a Medallion quilt. Applique center, lots of borders with motion in them. Sneak peak on my blog.

Dear Art of Quilting members, having conquered an invalid password, non recognition by NING and having my second attempt to reestablish membership at Fiber Focus turn out successfully, I am now back as this forum host. Rayela attempted several times to assist from her end, tho that's all in the past now. Hopefully, I won't lose much of my history, if any. Welcome to the newer members who I couldn't reach. Gina

Just to let you guys know, (I mean, women....), Gina has been having a hard time logging in. Password issues. We've notified Ning and are waiting for them to figure out what's going on, but I know that she is anxious to get back here to the group!

Back on June 8, Kim Gibson asked if anyone had had experience with Mickey Lawler's fabric paining techniques, and she posted some pictures. If you have tried Mickey's Sky Dye methods and have input, several of us would be interested in hearing your experiences. Gina

I fine that with some fabric, when I iron on the fusible web, the fabric wrinkles...is my iron to hot or are there just some fabrics that can't be fused?

Past Patterns


#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.

Fashion-Era, A Costume Resource


Fashion-era contains 715 content rich, illustrated pages of Fashion History, Costume History, Clothing, Fashions and Social History. Sitemap



"At Fashion-Era.com we analyse two centuries of women's costume history and fashion history silhouettes in detail. Regency, Romantic, Victorian, Edwardian, Flapper, 1940's Utility Rationing, Dior's New Look, 1960's Mini dress, 1970's Disco, 1980's New Romantics, Power Dressing, Haute Couture, Royal Robes, Fashion Semiotics, and Body Adornment, each retro fashion era, and future fashion trends are all defined.

We've also outlined the history of Jewelery, Perfumes, Cosmetics, Corsetry and Underwear manipulation of the body silhouette. Fashion history is a rich area to explore. The effects of past and present technology, changes in work, leisure, media and homelife that affect lifestyle trends, attitudes, fashion trends and shopping trendsetters are all covered in the various eras.

Newer sections such as hats, hair, cloaks and capes, ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman fashion history continue to explore and make this a great web fashion history and costume history resource. Some sections also include consumer tests for example on clip in hair extensions plus tips on how to buy and sell vintage, pattern drafting and Christmas themes. There is also a Fashion Forum over 4 years old called Fashion-era Forum. There you can discuss anything from current fashion trends, old photographs, vintage to costume history or from Greeks to the 21st century."

Egyptyian Dress Costume Collars

Ancient Costume - Egyptian Dress Costume Plates

Part 5 - Ornamental Patterns and Egyptian Collars

"

Styles of Egyptian robe with free pattern guides were discussed on the detailed pages of Egyptian Costumes. However, decorative elements were mostly confined to the removable collars on garments and other removable accessories such as headwear, girdles (striking wrap sash belts) and deep arm cuffs. But if you need a wearable costume you have to have basic body covering too, so check out my other Egyptian pages.

To complete your Egyptian costume add a collar, typical jewellery and eye make up. To be fair there are plenty of King Tut collars available at fancy dress party costume outlets online. But part of the fun of going to an Egyptian fancy dress event is making your own Egyptian inspired costume and most importantly achieving something that fits you proportion wise rather than being made as one size fits all."
