So, now that we all have the books, does anyone have a good place to buy metal thin enough to sew through with your machine?

Just checked again by author in case the spelling of the title was wrong. They had one copy for $134.99. A little too much for me. It is This Lustr'ed Cloth with an e in there.

Jumping in late to this conversation, as I have been out of town. I am loving the idea of stitching on metal. I bought the book of the same name several months ago and some of the metal mesh from Joggles. I just haven't had time yet but it is next...

Wow! You need a vacation from your vacation. Too much excitement for one day. Glad they can solve your problem quickly so you can return to creating. Take care Janet

Thank you Alena. I was inspired with the architexture challenge for that quilt. This year our challenge is quilts with a sense of humor and I'm finding it more difficult.

Welcome to the Fiber Focus Group! The smiling frog is the default image until you replace it with something that represents you. (PLEASE do replace it!) You can now load images, personalize the template to this page (many options that you can tweak!), leave comments for other members, join groups and forum discussions and start new ones. Each member here has a blog page that is linked to the front page, a great way to give updates to the larger group. There are also some tips on how to get started under "Notes" on the front page.

Sharing images is an important way to network with the other members. Each week the most popular photo (that receives most views and comments), is posted on the front page for a week.

Make yourself at home!

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

#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.

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.
