Ehm, what does "hem and face" mean? From the photos it looks like the sleeves were lined, that is, a second layer of fabric on the inside so no fabric edges show.
Excellent thing with the magnet, because it would be a crying shame to have tiny holes (which don't stay tiny) in those amazing dresses.
I can just imagine how you see thrift stores and flee markets with an entirely different eye. The cut of that blouse is atrocious and those earrings are tacky beyond words? Who cares if the fabric is good and the stones in the earrings are small enough to make a beautiful necklace.
> I have more fabric than I'll ever, ever use.
Why, can't imagine what that is like at all. /self-depreciating irony
> I had (still have, actually) a beautifully illustrated storybook and I wanted to go see the movie SO HARD, but Mom wouldn't take me.
That's so horrible when you are a kid and the potentially most awesome movie ever is showing. Weirdly enough, I heard the movie didn't do well in the theaters at all, and then it really turned into a cult classic and still sells great on DVD. I love my DVD, it has such an awesome making off where you see how the juggling of those glass balls is done.
And there's a story book? Look, if you ever, ever have ten minutes with nothing better to do than to scan a few pages and upload them, because now I'm curious as all heck. But really, don't do if it's a bother, you have enough sewing work.
> but I had to wait until I spotted it on VHS for cheap somewhere and went "MOM MOM THIS IS THE MOVIE MOM!" and she was all "What movie?"
I think I had a very similar reaction when finding the VHS by accident. It had been years since I'd have seen the movie but I still remembered it as awesome, and there it was. Mine mine all MINE!
