Professor Argon Bats replied to Sair Blades's discussion What's in YOUR project basket? in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"Oh... I see! *wink wink, nudge nudge* Yes, in that case the jacket looks very good."
Phineas Wotan Sprockett, O.C.C. commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association"Shahbanoo and Professor,
My impulse turned out to be correct. I didn't feel at all comfortable using glue on a derby of this age. Thank you for your thoughts on how to proceed. I do not own…"
Maty Grosman commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association"Hello everyone,
I'm producing a whimsical short film about a con artist trapped in his own con set at the turn of the 19th century, titled 'The Great Mesmerizers'.
I'm very fortunate to have exceptionally…"

Lenora Odessa Spaulding replied to Sair Blades's discussion What's in YOUR project basket? in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"For some reason, I think Captain Spaulding will be okay with that pattern. :) (Take a look at my photos.)
I agree with you about the McCall's pattern - definitely not accurately historical, and I haven't seen any combinations of a…"
Professor Argon Bats commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association"Ha! Shahbanoo, we were typing at the same time (I got interrupted half-way through). I guess we are in agreement."
Professor Argon Bats commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association"Wow, what a find!
Personally, my impulse with antiques is - no glue. Glues deteriorate and change over time, can react with materials and weaken them, and generally can't be undone. I would hand-stitch it down, with fine needles if possible,…"
Shahbanoo Pantea commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association"I wouldn't glue it....
At that age, even the slightest bit of acid in the glue might cause the whole thing to disintegrate.Also glue is messy. Even if it's acid-free you run the risk of getting the glue on places you can see and then…"
Professor Argon Bats replied to Sair Blades's discussion What's in YOUR project basket? in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"Nice diverse selection. I rather like the McCall's actually, looks like you get lots of bits to mix and match, a sort-of vaguely historically-inspired with Edwardian-ish skirt, bustle-like ruffle thingy, and modern-ish jacket. Nowhere near…"
Lenora Odessa Spaulding replied to Sair Blades's discussion What's in YOUR project basket? in the group Steampunk Stitching Association"I just finished the frenzy leading up to the Steampunk World's Fair, and now I have a few months before we have any big steamy events coming up and a long list of items I'd like to make.
I'm still fairly new to sewing (started a…"
Phineas Wotan Sprockett, O.C.C. commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association" I was fortunate to find an authentic derby from the late 19th century which was a perfect fit and in good condition except for two slight damages: worn fabric on the front and a partially loose lining. My…"

The Adventures of the daring Wolfie and the less than Daring Sair on a time traveling venture to the middle ages!
Posted on July 9, 2009 at 7:43am 0 Comments 0 Likes
This weekend, Wolfie and I gathered a group of gypsies, pirates and princesses and ventured down though time to the Highland Renaissance Faire. We had a lovely time and happened to meet Travis there, and I highly recommend everyone go and visit while you still can because it's the end of their season already.
There were a number of merchants present who were interested in tapping into the demographic of the mid to late 1800s, and I promised I'd pass their information along if they so… Continue

I am in love with my graduation present, a shiny new Singer sewing machine.
Now my head is swimming with projects that I can accomplish in record time. I also have the tail end of an outfit I'm working on, that I'd like to have presentable by the 11th, and working on more foundation garments.
So many foundation garments. If I start now I might be done by the time a season rolls around that I'll be willing to wear a chamise, bloomers, corset, petticoat and… Continue

Great minds think alike?

- Lady Blades,
As I have erred in addressing you as a Sir in the past. hopefully you have forgiven me this regretable gender misnomer. It appears we share the same day for a birthday (why mine is not listed in this larger realm is something of a mystery). Hope that you have a wonderful birthday, and perhaps us Gemini's shall pair up in person at some future point.

- Glad to see that your back in steampunk circulation. Will you remain in the Queen City for a bit longer or is post graduate life taking you away soon?

- Sair, you really should try to come out with us to the Southgate House on August 13th to see the Two Man Gentlemen Band; especially seeing you are missing our other two events this month. It's a great show and you'll love it!

- Hello Miss Blades, i was wondering if you had a higher resolution format of the OSS flag that I might be able to use to make a full size one?
