		<description><![CDATA[Another fine theatrical production has been downgraded to a pile of stinky laundry.  Yes, Chicago is finally over (except for one or two more loads of laundry, the great put-away, and other glamorous parts of the job).  My design partner and I were incredibly pleased with the way the show looked, and the fact that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The surviving pattern published in Juan de Alcega&#8217;s &#8216;Libro de Geometria, Practica y Traca&#8217;(1589) represents almost everything we know about the farthingale. Most articles on recreating the Alcega farthingale focus on faithfully reproducing the pattern based on fabric widths. Honestly, though, calling this a &#8220;pattern&#8221; is a bit of an overstatement: the book was more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world is full of straw hats. They are almost never the size and shape you&#8217;d like them to be. (That&#8217;s a known effect of the Law of Universal Irony, along with how the thread already in the needle is never a color that will work for your current purposes.) Fortunately, reblocking a straw hat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, you need a knicker, or some other relatively non-denominational short, slightly poofy pantlet with a cuff at the bottom, and you don&#8217;t have time to make it from scratch. (Perhaps, for example, you have a cast of 37, and 9 or 11 of them are kids in Fagin&#8217;s gang and most of them are [...]]]></description>

Yes, some one is letting me, the girl who believes that leash laws should apply to children, costume a show where half the cast isn&#8217;t old enough to drink. That&#8217;s remarkable, so I&#8217;m remarking upon it. The show has lots of fun arts&#038;crafts projects: some knitting, some dying, some [...]]]></description>
