So I promised a post on the warp and the weft. It is collectively used to describe Fabric. Metaphorically, you can say, the Warp and Weft of my life, meaning the fabric of your life. Cool huh?

Every May, the Howard County fairgrounds hosts the annual Sheep and Wool Festival. You can see all kinds of rural things - sheep shearing, Llamas, and other spitting things that I can’t remember the name of at the moment.

Then there is the wool, the velveteen, the linen… The fabric lives in the drawers illustrated previously. Some of it lives in the cedar chest my fat ...

When I was a pre-teen I would take paper on long trips and draw very rigid dresses: sweetheart necklines, wide skirts, tiny waists. Gone with the Wind meets Madonna in the mid 90’s. I’m not a talented illustrator. Not now, not then. They never had heads, their shapes were all out of proportion, and ...

Ok, so it won’t teach you how to make a pocket or put in a zipper. It will, however, teach you something equally important: How to identify shape and how it relates to time period. The lines of the clothing give good demonstration of what clothing can do to reshape a body. Want to see how an empire ...

I have one word for you in scissors: Gingher. If you are going to sew seriously, don’t bother with any other brand, it isn’t worth it. Gingher’s will cut through anything. This is important when tearing up jeans for a skirt. Ginghers are practically their own religion. At least they should be treate ...
