    C Curls

    Perhaps if you used a smaller round brush. And blow dried the hair down and under to create curl. And then comb it so that the front sections are turned forward slightly. With hair this short it can't take long to dry.

    Nutrition and exercise!

    Celiacs? My clothes felt very tight a few weeks ago but my weight was the same. I felt really bloated and gassy and just gross. I stopped eating wheat and I feel so much better. The bloating went away in two days resulting in a two inch reduction at my waist :eek:. I was SO bloated, no...

    Well don't be crushed because I have the exact same pattern. It's a size 12 however, but sleeves can't be that hard to grade. Just PM me and I'll send you a copy of the blouse sleeve.

    Vintage Manicures

    I had the same problem. I find a creamy base coat hides the reall half moons pretty good and doesn't look too stark white. My favourite right now is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in beige blast. The paddle shaped brush is nice too. And it's inexpensive!

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Bahahahaha! It cracks me up when people snub their noses at those who take pride in their appearance. Makes me want to saw, "Oh wow, look at YOU! In those jogging pants, and that t-shirt with the holes in the armpits. How do you do it!?"

    Pattern Rescue Hi Joie! Those incomplete patterns sound like they would be very useful at Pattern Rescue. At least you don't have to worry about them ending up in a landfill, or crowding your basement.

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    How can you sew something big and heavy and complicated, without beating it up? Are there any tricks? I've been fighting with this enourmous pouffy silk dress and it's getting snags and oil from my sewing machine.:mad: The oil isn't coming down the needle or onto the presser foot it's just...

    Can you help me date this item??

    Finally picked up a few things I went to my local thrift store and I picked up a few things that felt vintage. I was going for 50s - 60s. Here are few things, let me know what era you think these are from. Two pairs of Naturalizers. The word Naturalizer is written in cursive, so I think...

    Sewing Lessons & FAQ

    I wouldn't recommend the pin marker if you plan on using it alone. But you could use it with a dress form. If the chalk one has the hand operated pump with the extension cord you should be able to use that by yourself.

    How to tell the difference between Repro and Real Vintage

    My local Value Village has amazing vintage shoes and accessories, I think. I'm never sure and that often stops me from picking something up. Are there any things to look out for with shoes and purses?
