Jessica found this extremely steampunk Norman pattern and wonders if anybody has information they can share about Mrs. N.R. Norman, inventress. This is Centennial Pattern No. 8, for those keeping score at home, and is from the 1890s. It may be a St. Louis company — it’s marked St. Louis. any information? Please leave a comment! (Here’s a bigger image.)
Speaking of comments, Becky O. left one on Friday pointing us to this fantastic writeup by TrueUp about the different on-demand fabric printers. Exhaustive and well-researched, certainly worth checking out.
Kate found the button-top (not dress) I was thinking of. great for Rolling stones fans!
Kristen sent this link to dresses knitted from trash. So cool. (Although probably itchy.)
Anna sent me a link to The sewing device Attachment book. (It’s a book about different attachments FOR your machine, not about fostering your attachment TO your machine.) I have purchased mine, will review when I get it!
Lucy (who is the person behind home film Day London) sent this link to a digitised (British spelling, in Lucy’s honour) film of 1930s fashions. Lovely!
A few self-promoty links:
If you like words, and are on Facebook, might you not consider being a fan of Wordnik on Facebook? Our fan page is here. If you’re not a Facebooker but still want Wordnik words of the day, that link is here. but the only place you can see the Wordnik list of the day (a collection of related words) is on Twitter:@wordnik. [If you’re searching for me on Twitter, I’m @emckean for word-type stuff, @FakeErinMcKean for “what-I-had-for-lunch” type stuff.] (Whew! That’s a lot of social media in one place …)
