| Attaching skirts to bodice... continued |
[09 Nov 2009|11:57am] |
Hi again!
Last week I posted a question here about sewing skirts to a bodice. Inspired by your comments, I cartridge-pleated the skirt to a twill waistband, and then attached the waistband to the bodice. I wasn't too pleased with the result though, since it added so much bulk to the front of my belly it would make the wearing of bodys obsolete.
Should anyone want to see pictures and read what happened: my blog has more info.
I still really appreciate all of your help! You guys got me thinking about the problem and try a different approach. I still love cartridge pleating, just not for the front of a bodice. Thanks, everyone!

| Is the Cole marriage finally over? |
[08 Nov 2009|11:08pm] |
As she goes on TV without a wedding ring, her friends claim the marriage to Ashley is doomed.
Cheryl Cole spends weeks planning her X Factor outfits in minute detail, from the designer shoes to go with her dress to the shade of varnish on her perfectly manicured nails.
But this week a vital part of her wardrobe was missing - the diamond sparkler on her left hand.
The £160,000 ring, which her footballer husband Ashley Cole bought her to replace her wedding ring, only reappeared in public in September after nine months in her drawer.

tough
Are you a chronic jaywalker? Should jaywalking be more heavily monitored by the NYPD (who currently have no officers assigned specifically to the jaywalking beat)? Comedian Colin Quinn faced off with AAA spokesman Robert Sinclair Jr. for opposing opinion pieces on the habitual practice.
Of course it's our God-given right to jaywalk!
It's what distinguishes us from almost every other city in the world.
Do you see the cops giving a freakin' cow a ticket for being in the way in India?
No.
And you don't give a New Yorker a jaywalking ticket either.
This is our way of life. We're the pedestrian city of the United States.

ONTD- What is the dumbest thing you've ever gotten a ticket for ?

| Richard Kelly Talks NASA, Free Will and the Hutts |
[08 Nov 2009|09:39pm] |
As the writer/filmmaker responsible for the densely-detailed and intense films Donnie Darko and Southland Tales, Richard Kelly returns with another mind-bending sci-fi tale called The Box.
StarWars.com caught up with Kelly after a recent visit to Skywalker Ranch and ILM, to chat with him about his love for Star Wars, NASA's approval of The Box and why Jabba the Hutt should be the next Tony Soprano.
----------------
In addition to expanding on Richard Matheson's short story "Button, Button" for the plot, you also use a lot of your own parents' background stories in The Box, especially with your father's work at NASA. Why did you want the film to reflect some of your own family's history?
It just felt like the right thing to do. This felt like the kind of film I think they would appreciate. They love Alfred Hitchcock. When I found the solution to this story, and linking to my dad's work at NASA, it all came together. It felt like a way to kind of pay tribute to them and to their experiences. And that they would get a kick out of seeing elements of who they are portrayed by Cameron Diaz and James Marsden. Obviously, they're not playing my parents but it's an interpretation of them.
You don't get that many opportunities in life to try to do something cool like that for your parents. This felt like the moment to do it.
How did NASA feel about you not only using them as a story component, but actually shooting some footage there as well?
All the NASA stuff at Langley in the film was shot at NASA's Langley Research Center. It took about a year to get full cooperation from NASA and NASA headquarters and everyone at Langley. They all read the script and signed off on it. We signed a Space Act Agreement and it was a big deal.
No one has ever photographed that hangar before; no one has ever been inside that wind tunnel. There are these legendary buildings over at Langley that have never been shown before on film so it was really kind of setting a new precedent to get access to all these facilities.
My dad's work with NASA probably had a lot to do with granting me permission, and that the film might shed some light on the Viking program which was a very significant event. It's not the most well-known space mission, however anyone you talk with at NASA always go back to Viking as one of the greatest achievements in the history of space exploration. Putting a robot on Mars and sending photographs back was a profound accomplishment.
If you go online to the website YouAreTheExperiment.com you can see some of these prequel videos I put together. The first one incorporates a lot of real footage of the real scientists on the day -- June 20, 1976 -- responding and reacting to photographs being transmitted back.

| Widening a neckline |
[09 Nov 2009|12:57am] |
I have a sheer knit top with a scoop neckline that I'd like to turn into an off the shoulder top. It has a skinny rib neckband like a regular tshirt, which already stretches to fit around my shoulders, but fits tight and does not stretch anymore.
Normally, I would just cut off the neckband and leave it raw, but it's a semi-nice top and I don't want it to roll. I'm thinking that my only fix is to cut off the neckband and finish it with foldover elastic.
Any other ideas? The quicker and easier, the better, as I'll be handsewing everything and I want to wear the top in a few days!
