ACTUALLY, i was pondering making some for a small fall collection i've been thinking about. but i may do some different things with them, add some embellishment, use different yarn, different ties, etc. keep your eyes peeled.

That coat is amazing. I need a new winter coat. I hate the one I have, even though it's really warm. I'm totally sick of it. The chazzas here, as you know, are no help at all. I really don't know where to go to find a good, colorful one that I can afford. Wah.

But you look terrific! You are one of the only people I know who can belt their coat and get away with it. You are a genius.

maybe ebay? or perhaps a sale on winter stuff at a vintage store or thrift?

the thrift stores there are pretty awful. either completely useless and filled with crap no one wants, or expensive as heck. what gives? where does all the good stuff go over there?

too bad they don't have any resale type places where things are somewhat reasonable, like they do here in NYC (like beacon's closet or buffalo exchange, and the like).

EEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

I've been wondering if you ever ended up wearing your coat. It looks awesome!

[info]pintuck

February 26 2006, 17:05:19 UTC 6 years ago

Re: EEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

oh yeah, i totally have! it's a great coat. i replaced the buttons on it. the belt that came with it was broken when it arrived (brittle buckle, i guess), so i just put on whatever belt i fancy at the time.

thanks again!

Random question: How do you do the color frame around your photos that you post?

[info]pintuck

February 27 2006, 01:47:45 UTC 6 years ago

in photoshop: first select all (apple-a for me). then, on the bar at the top of photoshop, edit>stroke, then choose the width and color of the stroke.

voila.

fabric for sale

hi tricia,
i am a friend of sabrina's...we met at one of linda's crafternoons about a year ago (maybe longer ago than that?)
anyway, my housemate is moving to San Francisco on April 1st and will be selling her fabric at a Studio sale sometime in March at our loft in Greenpoint. She is an artist/sculptor, and will also be selling some supplies.
I thought of you b/c i know that you're always looking for fabric. Let me know what your email address is (if you're interested) I'll forward you the info.

Thrift On!
Okay, guys, you have to believe us on this one: It's still possible to find cool stuff thrifting in New York City. Seriously. Load up the clothes you can't fit into ever since your recent affair with brown sugar Pop Tarts, head for Botanica Bar's monthly second-hand swap, Thrift On!, and you just might nab some vintage clothing with not-too-noticeable pit stains on them. Botanica Bar, 47 East Houston St., (212) 343-7251. 9 p.m-1 am. Free.

help me!

hey trish,
sorry to bother you... but i figured you were the best person to ask. my sewing machine crapped out on me yesterday in the midst of working on my quilt and i was wondering where you get your sewing machines repaired in the city. do you know of a good place?

let me know! i need my little singer friend working again as soon as possible!

love,
sabrina

Re: help me!

you are NOT bothering me, don't be silly!

i know there are probably tons of sewing machine repair places in town, but i don't really know too much about most of them. i had my bernina fixed at a place up on e. 85th or something like that...i can't remember the name of the place. eeep! i'm so sorry.
