I love natural organic fiber but the blend of hemp and silk would have be at the top of my list. I've never seen this combination before - my 2 favourite fibers in one fabric?! And drapey like a crepe? I can't imagine anything better! My problem is that I'm in Canada and us Canucks have pretty much given up on ordering fabric from the US. You would be shocked at how much it actually costs us - difference in the dollar, pricey shipping AND customs means we have to double the amount we see (ie $19.99 a yard works out to approx. $40 a yard for us) which is a little insane unless it's 4 ply silk :)PsychicSewerKathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911914507722968930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823578805242157520.post-66773338224248102072017-11-16T08:44:31.432-08:002017-11-16T08:44:31.432-08:00I'm a costumer and heartily endorse the above ...I'm a costumer and heartily endorse the above response! It seems like it's always a huge cast and never enough time, a local theater would be very grateful.

Lights will dim, but you will glisten. Aisle way touches and compliments from "admiring since you first walked in" confessional concert-goers will stack to the ceiling (of a concert hall, no less!). <br /><br />Donate the polyester dress (and other "never again" pieces) to a theater troupe, or high school drama department. Some aspiring dame or gun moll will wear your creation in her first production. You'll have a free hangar, or two, in your closet, and all will be right with the world (full circle, passing of the torch, new memories to be made).<br /><br />'Tis the season (what with the new house) to edit your collection, and perhaps your life Laura Mae, to what, and whom, you TRULY enjoy (so long as this blog continues, and you're willing to suffer an on-going and unsolicited commentary from far afield). <br /><br />Kindest regards,<br /><br />A selfless fan<br /><br />Testosteronenoreply@blogger.com
