Trim in!

[bethlakshmi]

The trim is here! Wohoo!

And all is accounted for!

Of note - there are some things packaged in a not-as-expected manner:
- frogs for Safiya - we have 9 bags of 12 frogs each, not 3 bags of 36 frogs - same difference, really
- grosgrain ribbon for Bhairavi - came in 2 spools of 25 yards each, rather than 1 spool of 100 yards each
- jaquard ribbon for Lady Cassia - 2 spools of 16.4 meters, not 1 spool of 32 meters.

In all cases, everyone got the same quanitity, just slightly different packaging. Hopefully that doesn't screw up anyone's pattern.

We likes the trim, my precious, we does sooooo like the shiny trim.

(I'm curious who Lady Cassia is?)

She's from Lockleven - that's her LJ handle. If you'd like an intro at an event, I'll make one in person, but I don't like to give name real life names on LJ.

Yeah, I knew that about the grosgrain (I had some in my last order) so that is totally fine by me. Until such time as I start making 26 yard saris, it shouldn't be a problem. :P

You would look like the Michelin man... :)

Or else we've have to get 12 sari-holder-upper girls to accompany you. ;P

Yummy... trim....

May I inquire as to where you purchased these trims? I am ever so curious now.

I have 700 yards of fabric in my SCA fabric stash but alas no trim to keep it company.

P.S. Are you still thinking about coming to visit the fair Outlands for THL Meenakshi's Laurel Ceremony?

Yes! I got myself some tickets for the last weekend in January - arrive Thursday night, hang out Friday, leave Sunday around noon.

The store was www.cheeptrims.com - a few pages back in the journal is our order inventory. They require $65 for a purchase, which works fine sometimes, but I started out just wanting a $13 spool of black sequins... $180 later we had no problem meeting the minimum. :)

I use them most for modern costuming stuff, but they do have SCA-compatible stuff, depending on what you're making...
