And that's why I love steampunk- purple taffeta ballgown anyone?

And also all the glam 'partywear' for the parties I never go to

Beware, they're not cheapo, the prices are per half metre, but the quality is outstanding. I have made loads of steampunkery from it, and several top quality shirts [Hugo Boss linen anyone?]

Speaking of slapping, maybe we need a special 'Snark' thread so that anyone who feels prissy coming on can steer well clear....

Is it just me, or is it only the Autumn/Winter styles that are ever interesting?

EAsy peasy lemon squeezy- I've taken reduced hours at work so can't afford to buy anyway...and the stash is pretty big.
I'm already doing a SWAP entry [although I've reached a bit of a doldrum stage], and keeping up with monthly challenges on FB's Sewing Bloggers' Network. My Historical Sewing has dropped off a bit, but I reckon I can manage some of these without major stress. Probably.
Count me in missus

« on: March 03, 2017, 19:04:49 PM »I blame it all on the departed Demented Fairy - she made some really whacky outfits from their fabrics - remember the parrot shirt? Crazy but great - and she brought TCC to my attention. I am not going to look - I already have too much stuff from them - funny how it just slips into the basket!Whacky? Me? Surely not...the parrot shirt still gets lots of wear, despite me making it pink in a recent wash. Sigh. What's that you say? 'sort the washing'? Nope, can't hear you.
I have a new eBay guilty secret now though- Italian Textiles. Oh yes. Luxury goodness and some truly amazing quality stuff. Fly my pretties, fly....
