We've seen no messages since December 18 - is everyone really that busy? Typical post-holiday question - What costume goodies did you get this year? ------------------------------ Alas, I haven't been doing a lot of sewing lately, although I have some lovely pumpkin coloured wool that is calling to me right now. I have been doing some crochet, and downloading far more crochet patterns than I will ever have time for. I got a copy of 17th Century Women's Dress Patterns by Susan North and Jenny Tiramani, put out by the V&A. It has a little bit of cross-over with Janet Arnolds Patterns of Fashions series, but has a narrower time frame so it covers more garments, mostly from the beginning to the middle of the seventeenth century. It also has more detail including embroidery patterns and knitting graphs and so on.
