"A number of craft store sell forceps in various shapes; or the place I linked to has medical surplus stock at very reasonable prices."

Ryan Grimm commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association

"I've used a forceps on occasion when restitching some leather goods, particularly when in tight spots that fingers can't reach or hold the needle(s).You might find them at medical supply places (pricey), used from a doctor's office…"

Professor Argon Bats commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association

"I thought I'd share with you this funky tool I bought a while back. I've used it a lot, mostly to help turn corners. I wasn't sure how useful I'd find it, but at this point, I can say I'd recommend it for the…"

"Just a suggestion, but perhaps Ryan Grimm, you could post something on the main discussion page. Last year sometime there was some discussing this very thing, and he had gone so far as to make pages. I've been wracking my brain…"

Lady Beatrix Kittywick McCormick commented on Sair Blades's group Steampunk Stitching Association

"Love the passport idea. I agree with the Professor, it would be easiest as a downloadable file that people can print out. I think just having the cover would be sufficient, and the Empire already has a logo. People could add their…"

"How would one go about it? A hi-res pdf that people can download and glue in their won photo, and either type or pen in their biometrics? That could be made available for free or very low cost. If people wanted to send in photographs and have a hard…"

"Oh, and you'll likely need deeper armholes to accommodate shoulder muscles. From when I lifted weights compulsively, I suggest you take most of that adjustment by deepening the curve in the front, where the pectoral muscle joins the arm. If you…"

"I've never tried, but I'd go about it the same way I adjust any pattern: systematically, bit by bit. I use different bust/waist/hip sizes all the time from multi-size patterns. Compare the measurements you need and those of the closest…"

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?

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.

At 5:50pm on September 20, 2009, Aloysius Fox said…: Good to see you again. I hope that you, Wolfie, and more can make it to the Salon in October.

At 1:22pm on September 18, 2009, Aloysius Fox said…: 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?

At 2:17pm on August 2, 2009, Capt. Anthony LaGrange said…: Yes, every little bit helps thank you kindly!

At 8:25pm on August 1, 2009, Aloysius Fox said…: 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!

At 5:20pm on July 29, 2009, Capt. Anthony LaGrange said…: 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?
