Going to work in vintage apparal
I just started a new part time job at a fabric shop. While not a requirement, wearing handmade garments is encouraged. My whole wardrobe consists of handmade garments from vintage patterns. I also work as a hairstylist. Because of handling chemicals, I prefer to wear a full smock over my...- kamikat

Is It More Difficult For You to Dress "Vintage" in the Summertime?
I find it MUCH easier to dress vintage in the summer. The DC area has long, hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. Ladies can wear lots of vintage sundresses and open-toed sandals. Once it starts to dip below 50F/10C, I just can't stay warm in vintage. It doesn't help that I'm allergic...- kamikat

Show us your hair do's....
Lolita, that hairbow is to-die-for! How long is your hair without a curl? -
Ladies show us your best.
Oh, Paul, I think this is your best look ever! The longer hair suits you very well. This is also a look that could easily be modern if you needed to blend with the crowd, just by changing accessories. Lovely! As for styling wigs, that's difficult. I have a collection of wigs and hair pieces...- kamikat

Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!
I did a blog post featuring pictures from my latest 1940's knitting book. If there's any interest in patterns, I can scan them. Let me know. http://newvintage.wordpress.com/2012/08/11/yarncraft-19/- kamikat

Copy a pattern or use an original?
Before I got into vintage, I used to have a subscription to Burda magazine. I would use a yellow highlighter to highlight the lines if the needed pieces to make tracing easier.- kamikat

Show us what you've made!
SheBear, love the new skirt! Wahine, I buy all my cute prints online. My local fabric store only carries basic garment fabrics but a lot of quilting fabrics and children's prints. My favorite shop is http://equilter.com/ and they do ship overseas, but it looks pricey.- kamikat

This is the comic book fabric dress that I mentioned earlier. I have to say, it looks better in pictures than I feel in it. The upperchest is too big, so I feel like the solid red yoke part is slipping around. It would be easy to fix the next time I make this pattern but not on a finished...- kamikat

Yeah, it's the only thing that sucks about getting older. He's cute, but I'm nearly old enough to be his mom. I wonder if his dad is just as cute?- kamikat

Show us your hair do's....
I think the last black-to-red color was too much. I just can't get my hair to look smooth. This is too front V rolls, then twisted up the back into 3 standing pincurls at the crown. -

Shebear, I haven't tossed it yet, but I don't think it's salvagable. I made it using this pattern and the shoulders are so wide that they keep falling off.- kamikat

Did you make a muslin first or go straight to your fashion fabric? If you are still in the muslin stage, it would be easy to get rid of some of the ease in the bottom so that the dart isn;t too big.- kamikat

I think that show appealed to a certain age group and type. My sister had weekly viewing parties at her home when Friends was one. However, they were all the same age as the people on the show were supposed to be and her friends were all "the pretty people", like the Friends were.- kamikat

The general decline in standards today
This is where the whole "medical marijuana" thing is good. My state has very limited medical marijuana usage (only a few diseases qualify, no dispensaries, ect). If either of my children express curiosity in pot, I can simply tell them it's for cancer patients, just like any other drug that a...- kamikat

SheBear, cute skirt! I have the same fabric, but in red. I wish my dress came out as nicely as your skirt, but it was too big, despite a perfect fitting muslin.- kamikat

Who is today's Steve McQueen?
My vote for today's McQueen is Jason Statham. I really like Vinnie Jones, too, but he might be too thugish to qualify.- kamikat
