#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.

I don't know, Figen. I would like to see the groups have more dynamic discussions and sharing of resources. It's hard because I think we all lead such busy lives and have support from other places. I started this thinking that there would be more discussion about the cultural context of techniques, materials, etc, but it seems like people are pretty content with sharing their images and making comments that way.
Look around and wake people up! It's a great group of people and there really is a lot of knowledge and talent. We had some action for awhile in the critique group, "The awful truth", but nothing much has happened lately.
Do you have any suggestions of things you would like to see happen?
How do you pronounce your name? I imagine Cakir is Turkish, right? Would just like to be able to say it correctly in my mind...
