thank you for the Interest and thus i told you some of the things that happened ,, Be well mirjam You have been busy!! I'm glad to see that. Sometimes when someone doesn't post for a long time, we learn that it is for reasons that make us unhappy, such as illness or life problems, but it makes us very happy when someone is just busy doing interesting things as you have been. It is wonderful to learn of all your activities! I look forward to seeing more from you. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

is it feasible to handknit an entire garment to an exact set of measurements? is it feasible to do "fittings" of thusly-knitted garment before completion? Piggybacking because I never saw the original post. You're looking for a book called _Knitting from the Top_ by Barbara Walker. It was published in 1972 by Charles Scribner. In 1996, Schoolhouse Press photocopied and re-issued the vital parts, omitting the photographs of finished garments. I don't think either edition is available for purchase now, but if you are in the U.S., Interlibrary Loan should turn it up fairly quickly. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net |

The dresses were so specific to the lady, that they could not be passed down or traded to anyone. They were very beautiful and difficult because they were knit as a solid piece, not put together from separate form pieces. They were shaped as they were made, just like a sock with a built-in heel and toe shape. In fact, there was an old movie I saw once where a lady earned her living making these dresses from orders that came from a pricey dress shop clientele. In this movie, there was always one or two dresses on a form, sitting in the background of the film. And this actress was playing the part of a rich needleworker - she made g-o-o-d money knitting! Another 'lost' poster from Sew Girls who is responding to an 8 month old post, to the day, no less. I don't know why they don't look at the dates of these posts they're dragging up as they are plainly there on the Sew Girls site. |

Friend, If you all are talking about online bespoke tailored clothes then DAVID-FASHIONS also deal with online tailoring with the customers. So there is no need to go anywhere. I needed custom tailored suits in greys and blues for a party because this was the party theme. I was looking for a perfect look, so someone suggested me for the DAVID-FASHIONS and it is really true..
