CoBloWriMo #17-Written Source

Other people’s blogs?  Apart from the very few books that I already recommended in an earlier post, I really don’t do that sort of research.  I’m not an academic, I’m not a historian, I’m a maths teacher who likes making costumes!  I love reading everyone else’s accounts of their fascinatingly precise research, and I like to pretty much know when I’m doing things correctly, and when I’m being theatrical or deliberately anachronistic, but I don’t need to worry about the dreaded H.A.

So apart from good old Google, it all comes from reading the stuff you guys write.  Keep ‘em coming!

I could try to do a comprehensive list of all the bloggers I love to read, both muggle and costumers, but there are a lot of them, so I’ll just post links here to things I have read fairly recently, that informed and/or entertained.  S

ome bloggers that I used to really enjoy reading have taken different routes lately, concentrating on producing patterns, or endless sewalongs, or just getting bored with blogging.  I’m sticking here to a few recommendations which might lead you to pastures new.

Enjoy!

Frock flicks frock flicks fock flicks.  Because, derpy bonnets and unfortunate bigginses.  http://www.frockflicks.com/punching-nazis-frock-flicks/

It seems really mean to only link to eleven, when I’m devouring so many posts every day…but it may give you some new ones to look at!  And no, the pictures have NO relevance, they’re just colourful and pretty!
