Lingerie

Can anyone recommend a good book for beginning to sew lingerie. I am an
experienced seamstress just have never done much lingerie.

Kwik-Sew has a book on sewing lingerie, and I haven't come across anything they sell that isn't wonderful.

Best deal is probably the Kwik-sew book "Beautiful lingerie", as it comes with master patterns and good instructions. A little more adventurous: Jan Bones: Lingerie Secrets Karen Morris: Sewing Lingerie that Fits Singer Sewing Lingerie

I have a small Excel spreadsheet with many books on sewing lingerie listed. Email me if you'd like me to send it to you.

Is there some reason why you can't post it here? It would be a valuable contribution to the NG, and you could just cut and paste from your spreadsheet program to a text file and then to here.
Melinda, who wonders if it is an awfully "Usenet old school" thing to feel that it's not quite right to withhold that kind of valuable contribution to a NG and only offer to send it via email

"Melinda Meahan - take out TRASH to reply" wrote in message news:44d30ba9$0$96226$ snipped-for-privacy@news.sonic.net... how would she post an excel file to usenet? Unless you are offering to take the info and get into a text format.....

She can do exactly as I described: Copy the excel file contents, paste into a text file, then copy the text files contents and paste into an email.
I do it all the time, and it works fine.

She could also export the Excel file as 'tab delineated text' which would create the text file automatically.

I wasn't meaning to exclude anyone. I've been collecting the data for the Bra Connection site. We've been experiencing difficulties with our web designer for months and might switch to someone else soon. In the meantime all my research is sitting around. If I can successfully export the data I'll post it along with a note that it will eventually live at the bra connection.

Thank You everyone. Guess I will start with the quick sew. Thanks again.

Okay, here's the list. I seem to notice that I haven't added the 3 or 4 that are for belly dancing costume bras. (That's what the Embellished Bras book is about.) I'll look for 'em again. Since I'm into bra making this list is heavy on that subject. Please post here if you know of more! And like I said, eventually this will live at - Pora
