I like the fluidity and design lines of the 1940's garments.

I would like washable covers for my cutting tables, and a husband that does not put his "stuff" all over the said covers. He brings in a lot of dirt with his "stuff". Vaccuum cleaner and lint roller at the ready. Not to mention the four footed pattern weight I use occassionally. She leaves bits of fur behind, that are vaccuum cleaner and lint roller friendly. She can easily leap onto the cutting tables, and observes her kingdom from there.

I would welcome the archive. It takes a long time to sort through all of the spine article profiles, on the information within. I have many of the Threads magazines and frequently refer to them, when I need some help or inspiration.

Kate's gown suited her beautifully. As did her Bridesmaid, Pippa.

My favourite fabric would be Thai silk, followed by hemp silk, and Romanian hemp.
