Can't wait! I order...- Miss_Becky

Inappropriate-ness
there aren't a lot of pictures/stills of Wilma pregnant, but I did find this episode clip. She is wearing what I think is a cute little maternity skirt and top...and she does look a little fuller in the face. I love it, she is a cutie! I also found a photo to compare the "expecting" look to...- Miss_Becky

Oh my goodness... Yes, I finally got my book in the mail! I found it on the 'bay for 2.99 It's a first edition print from 1963. I cannot believe I am actually going to try this...I'm nervous and excited, I have been wanting to make my own shoes since I was a teen. I hope the experiment is...- Miss_Becky

Thanks ladies! I fixed "the problem" and adjusted a few other things, and it's looking a lot better. I added a few more details, I am now working on the hem, and I'm going to start on the petticoat tomorrow. I'm excited to see the finished product as well!- Miss_Becky

Inappropriate-ness
"What business is it of anyone elses what shape I am or whether or not I procreate?" AMEN Sister! Also, I get frustrated when I hear the word "sterile" to describe a woman who cannot have children. It just sounds so harsh, as if she is a robot or something that is not "alive". Just because...- Miss_Becky

Thanks Zombiegirl...well I was extremely angry, and my boyfriend didn't think it was that big of a deal, guys don't really have to deal with the "pregnant" questions, so they don't know really what it feels like. :rolleyes: BF doesn't get along with his father because of his over-opinionated...- Miss_Becky

Wedding Dress is coming together, there are a few things I have to fix (but if you can't see them, I won't tell you what they are! LOL) I just have to put in the back zipper, sew the hem and steam it. OH! and I am also going to make a petticoat for it, so it's going to be huge and fluffy and...- Miss_Becky

You're not alone in your frustrations!! JUST the other day, my boyfriends' dad actually came up to me (in front of everyone, mind you...5 people in the room) and TOUCHED MY TUMMY!! and said "do we have a baby in there?" I was shocked at first, thought he was joking and I looked at my...- Miss_Becky

Does anyone else have difficulty sharing a bed?
homes with 2 master bedrooms ^^ ooooh! sounds lovely! I had another bad night in the same bed with my honey. As soon as he got in bed, I swear the bed shrank to a twin size and I was tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable spot...he got annoyed with me and turned over on his side...- Miss_Becky

Does anyone else have difficulty sharing a bed?
Love my space!! I think it's totally healthy to have your own room. Even if there is no bed in there, just a place that is all your own. When my boyfriend falls asleep, he falls asleep hard and fast, he snores soooo loud, moves around a lot which ends up shifting me to the edge of the bed...- Miss_Becky

Anyone else ever feel like this?
Gosh, there must be something in the water, because I feel it too. I recently chopped my hair off because I didn't feel like messing with it anymore (and also felt like it wasn't very healthy from all the product and pin usage) So now I have a pixie cut that requires only a bit of hairspray...- Miss_Becky

Telling The Difference Between Eras?
In my honest opinion, it takes yeeeeaaaarrrrrsssss of looking at true vintage clothing and TONS of photographs and films from those eras. Also learning about what was happening in those times helps to understand WHY things were made/styled they way they were. SCOUR and MEMORIZE old fashion...- Miss_Becky

Drafting your own patterns
I took both patterning making and draping classes. I feel that once I knew how to make paper patterns, draping was a breeze because I learned where darts and style lines should be on the body. Draping is soooo much faster, and convenient. Even though I am horrible at math, learning how to do...- Miss_Becky
