CHANGE OF SCHEDULE !!!!
Seams Like Magik will NOT be at Starfest. Short story - took my van in for minor adjustment, they found a problem with a bolt, no new bolt available until Friday or Monday. So, no travel to Denver, no Starfest, don't get to see Jayne. boohoo.
As a consolation prize, we are offering free shipping on imported kimono and Japanese footwear for the rest of April. I'll get some photos and prices up soon. These are gorgeous cotton yukata, made in Japan in some larger sizes for both men and women. Limited to quantities on hand. If you were waiting to catch me in Denver, now is the time.
On a happier note, the Drea Leed workshop in Eugene, OR was fabulous wonderful I loved it! I learned about research and "things", inspected some beautiful garb up close and personal, thumbed through an extensive collection of books (drool bibs not provided), met fun and fascinating people and ate tasty food. Ms. Leed has a wonderful site with information on 16th-17th century clothing www.elizabethancostume.net/. She shared stories of her adventures at museums, talked about bodies and corsets, and pointed us at source materials for making our own items. I am inspired and ready to make myself a new outfit. Many many thanks to Costume Talk http://costumetalk.com/ for hosting this and Drea for presenting so much fascinating material. If you ever have a chance to go to one of their workshops, I highly recommend making time for it. And of course, I did buy a book. And put together a long wish list of other books. sigh.
