Hi Christine, the hand quilting on your double wedding ring quilt is very beautifully done. I also think the quilting style should reflect in some way the quilter's intention for the occasion, (like a wedding or anniversary), or the recipients, or...

I made a white on white crazy quilt for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. I printed a sepia-toned wedding photo of my parents and photos of each child (4), grandchild (7) and great grandchild (3). Wedding and birth dates are embroidered on pan...

My daughter is not married yet, but she definitely wants me to give her the double wedding ring quilt I made about 10 years ago. It is queen size and has over 3500 pieces in it. I machine pieced and hand quilted it. It took about 800 hours to make...

Hi Cheryl, and thanks, belatedly for the welcome to Canada. I actually have had some free hours to start doodling with new quilt ideas. It's quite a happy adjustment for my husband and I to be among LOTS of relatives instead of just the two of us ...

Gina Delorenzi added a discussion to the group Art of Quilting
Hi to the group, this is your moderator, still with no Internet at our new home. I noticed back on July 26, Caron Mosey urged to get going with some new topics. I noticed a comment about wedding quilts, and thought why not share the special quilts...

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.

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."
