DawnPages -- Skirts Take two measurements: Your waistline (no cheating!) ____ x3 = ____. Your waistline ____ +4" = ____. Your waist to the floor (or knee, calf, whatever) ____ +4" = ____. For medieval-type skirts most of you will probably be able to use the 54" or 56" width of the fabric as the length (C). You will need 3 times your waist measurement in yardage (A). To hold the skirt closed you can use large hooks and eyes (size 14 or larger), snaps, or a diaper-sized safety pin (Which I favor because then I can adjust the waist as I need to). You want it to shrink and bleed and do whatever it is going to do before you put work into it. Fold the quarter yard in half, the long way and mark your waist measurement (B) on it. Cut out the waistband piece, being careful to be accurate. From a single layer of interfacing cut a rectangle that is the same size as the waistband. Layer the pieces with the folded waistband on the bottom and the interfacing on top. From one end mark your actual waist measurement.
Great American History - Free American History Educational Material Tutorial Tuesday: Gilded Lace Crowns These pretty crowns are great for costumes (Halloween princess, anyone?), fairy house decorations, and the tiny ones could be cute tree ornaments. They are deceptively easy to make, and could be a fun project to do with little ones. Materials:Lace, modpodge, gold acrylic paint, gold leafing powder.Tools:scissors, paintbrushes, wax paper, optional hair dryer 1) Take your lace and make a crown shape. The laces I used have one flat side. 2) Trim lace to size with a 1/2 inch or more overlap, matching pattern. 3) Paint with gold acrylic paint. 4) Place on wax paper. 5) Coat with ModPodge until well saturated.I recommend you seal with, at least, 3 more coats of Modpodge.Move it around while its really wet, to keep the holes in the lace from becoming windows 6) Enhance the color with gold leafing powderdabbed onto wet Modpodge with dry brush.You can skip this step, but I really think it makes all the difference. 7) Dry completely flat. 9) Place crown on head and have fun storming the castle.
