I'm too tired to try to be either witty or profound. The pictures will have to speak for themselves. I finished these 3 costumes up and had our photo shoot today.
Thanks, Ladies! Unfortunately, Nancy, it is our valley that was flooded and declared a disaster area. Our family, however, was not negatively impacted in any way. Other than we were out hiking that weekend in all that rain. We were trying to make a 23 mile mountain pass traverse, but had to turn back because of soaked gear and flooded creeks and trails.
Vintage Threads is home to The Hundred Skirts Project, a service project to benefit The Shadow Of His Wing Orphanage in Guatemala. The goal is to sew 100 Skirts, each unique, each with a matching tee and each with a special embellishment of some sort (applique, beading, trim, ruffle, pocket, belt, piping, etc.) As I began to sew skirts and write about my project, interest in the online blogging and sewing community soared. Comments and email poured in asking to be included in the project. Of course I was thrilled and happy to have participation from others. It now appears that, thanks to the generousity of the online sewing community, we will exceed our goal. If you are interested in joining The Hundred Skirts Project, email me at lovelace@mtaonline.net. Below you will find our count. The SKIRTS STILL TO ARRIVE are the skirts that have been promised, but not yet received. The Skirts Received Total are skirts that are now actually in my physical possession and ready for mailing.
SKIRTS STILL TO ARRIVE: Deadline Passed, Shipping Soon SKIRTS RECEIVED: 103 Skirts TOTAL PLEDGED: 114 Skirts
The list below is a resource that I hope you will find helpful in making beautiful things and learning new skills. I am happy to share these tutorials with you. However, they are my original material and are not to be printed elsewhere, please. Enjoy!

Wow! Great costumes.
great clothes-what fun it must be for the model. Just visited Alaska on vacation-hope you weren't in the area that flooded.

Beautiful work, Charity!
