My husband made me a room in our garage where I store a lot of my stuff. The underwear and shoes are in the house as is the jewelry. The dresses, fabrics, patterns, feathers, hats and props (and much more) are stored in the room in the garage! I keep threatening to take over our caravanning trailer!<br />Blessings!<br />gGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345391863552645466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-1119165995226283572016-02-08T20:56:48.031-08:002016-02-08T20:56:48.031-08:00Thank you Val!

Did I love purple and every shade of it. Definitely, when you re-make this dress it will be even more fascinating (and just for fun, I would add the funky lace drapery on it too) :D Have a nice day!Melindahttp://welcome-to-the-plastic-age.webnode.hu/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-84341321819291460842016-02-05T07:13:01.951-08:002016-02-05T07:13:01.951-08:00Good to know you are doing better!

But with so many lovely costumes and hats you've made, I'm starting to wonder how do you store them all - is it very space-consuming?<br />Have a lovely weekend, love, RosaRosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628792731221881082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544576995054534446.post-62198696461442252922016-02-04T19:31:59.369-08:002016-02-04T19:31:59.369-08:00Oh wow, I love that you used tabs on the French Ve...Oh wow, I love that you used tabs on the French Vest pattern!<br />ValTime Traveling in Costumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353351035426201805noreply@blogger.com
