Join us in standing up for reproductive health and education. Planned Parenthood, the organization that delivers reproductive health care, sex education and information to millions of people worldwide, has come under fire in the U.S. lately, with many politicians on both state and federal level seeking to end funding (and in a few cases succeeding).
During the month of May, you can send a specially designed Planned Parenthood vgift to your friends to help support this cause. (And if you need someone to send it to,frank is always happy to receive gifts!) There are three variations ($1, $5 and $10) for you to choose from, but they'd all look good on your profile when your friends know that you stand by something so important.
Thank you all for your help in our support for Planned Parenthood. This promotion ends June 1, 2012; LiveJournal is not affiliated with Parent Parenthood. For more information about Planned Parenthood, please visit: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/

tomorrow (Sat.) evening and, when she is all gussied up, will have a friend take digital pictures of her in her new, red dress. I have to admit that I am extremely pleased with how it turned out!!! Fits like a glove but in a sexy, vampy way, not a trashy way.
is that logging in here is like coming home, taking off my shoes, and putting on fuzzy slippers.
I am still working on my friend's party dress, making last minute adjustments. Kerstin will come by tomorrow so I can pin the hem and maybe sew 2 hooks in the back lining of the dress so that she can attach them to her bra and avoid flashing any bra back as she is dancing.

On the NO THANKS (Nej Tack!!!) side of the issue:
Surströmming!!! Half-fermented salted herring. Stinks like the devil!!!
I went by my favorite second hand shop and bought 2 "old rose" coloured curtains that I will cut up and us for making my Scalloped Edge Skirt "for real" (rather than a mock-up). I also got a funky strainer that fits over your sink; I've wanted one for a while, too! And altogether I paid 35 kronor (about 5 USD) for my loot.
This is the mock-up of the 1912 Scalloped Edge Skirt I made as part of the Titanic 100th Aniversary project: http://vpll1912project.org/
Here you can see a period picture of the look I was attempting: http://omstil.blogg.se/2008/may/jattesot
Close-up view of the skirt.
Another close-up, this one taken without using the flash so the colours are somewhat darker than in real life.

I've made this in some orangey poly/cotton blend and will now dismantle it and use the orange fabric as my pattern. Amazingly, it fit perfectly on the first try!!! Hurrah!!! I had to add quite a few inches to the waist and had divided the extra between the different sections but I still figured that I would have some tweaking to do. Need to take some pics now. Then I want to make this in some sort of funky, totally not-what-you-would-expect fabric!
sloooowly but steadily. I have enlarged the paper pattern pieces and am in the middle of cutting them out in a poly-cotton blend that will do for a mock-up. Later, I would like to make this pattern "for real" in nicer fabric!!!
