How many bobbins can one spool of Gutermann 1000m thread wind? *not a sponsored post* I just really like Gutermann for the quality & longevity of their thread. I’ve only ever used it, even though I’ve tried other brands, but I come back to this one. I made costumes for a show about 25 years ago, and they are STILL going strong, after literally thousands of washes. The fabric wears out before the seams do.

I was working on set a lot this week; and had written several blog posts to upload later on my Ipad. Nothing is more annoying than hitting “Save” and then…..it disappears.

So many moons ago I had a small pop up shoppe at a few local historial shows. My booth was “Madame Fifi’s Froufrous” and we sold bloomers, parasols, fans, etc. I have had these bloomers kicking around for awhile begging to be put up on Etsy. And so today, I did! Mini photoshoot in my kitchen; here’s some Behind-The-Scenes sillyness for your Friday. (The whole time I was thinking…gee I hope no neighbours can see in through my windows watching me trying to do silly things whilst photo-taking, in my…
