Thread: Three Assuit Articles On Shira.net

Some of you may remember that several years ago, Trish St. John had a beautiful web site on which she sold assuit costume pieces and shawls. She also had some excellent articles about assuit.

The site unexpectedly went defunct (NOT her fault), and the articles were "lost" for some years. I recently figured out how to recover them (thanks to a caching site that still had them), and with Trish's permission they now appear on Shira.net.

Here they are for your reading pleasure:

• About Assuit.
• How to Care for Assuit.
• No-Cut, No-Sew Assuit Costuming.

My personal favorite is the third one!

these are wonderful, I love the third one as well! Thank you for posting Shira.

Shira, we can never ever thank you enough for all the information you've collected & assembled for us.



You are a freaking goddess.
