2 President s Message Ebbie DeWilms and Linda Weaver orchestrated another enjoyable afternoon starting with the Million Dollar Quartet at the Gallo. The view from the balcony was extra-ordinary. Some of the background information about Elvis, Johnny, Jerry Lee and Carl, I had not heard before. The time went very quickly and the show was very enjoyable. This was followed by a delicious dinner at Dewz. The food and service was exceptional. If you didn t have the flourless chocolate cake, you really missed something special. It is still stuck to the roof of my mouth. Thank you Ebbie and Linda! Memorial Day is almost upon us and two years of planning will finally come to an end. Everyone should have their assignments and be ready to welcome our NCRG guests. The May general meeting will start with a chicken dinner at 6:00 p.m., we will proceed through the general club business quickly and finish with final information on Modesto s the Scene in There will be plenty of time for questions and answers.

6 Ladies Funny Craft Day Saturday, April 9, 2016 We started with a very messy and rainy day. There were 18 who braved the weather to make the trip to the Ott's home. There were several ladies that brought their dresses for some finishing touches before the Round Up. I think we ll all look fabulous. Great job ladies! Now, for your cut and paste crafts. We looked like Santa s workshop all gathered around the tables. Some were more challenged then others when it came to creativity. I have to tell you Miss Dotty out did ALL of us. She made 50+ magnets all by her self. Way to go Dotty! The rest struggled to make a couple of pins and necklaces. Then others went home with the sweet smell of lavender. After we ran short on supplies, it was time of lunch. I have to give Bob Ott credit for a wonderful lunch. He hosted ALL of us gals. Great job Bob! Thanks, to Sharon for opening your home to all of us. Ladies, Thank You All for your help. This was a fun day. Teresa Gissible

7 Hubley Workshop I really enjoyed the Hubley workshop. It was my first time to see how the races work and the work that goes into each car. The funnest part of the morning was when Burta got out her car that her grandson helped her with. She called it the Tijuana Taxi. I ended up winning in four or five races until one of Stan Braden s cars finally took the win. It was a lot of fun. Marci Schellman

9 Era Fashion News.From Teresa Gissible Wearing, Caring, and Storing Vintage Clothes By Anne Neely-Beck Finding vintage clothes to purchase and wear is a challenge. The web, thrift shops, antique stores, garage sales, and flea markets are all good choices. Some helpful hints for trying clothes on or determining whether vintage garments fit comes from Christine de Socarras. She states, the best way to find out if sleeves of a dress or blouse fit is to put your arms in the sleeves prior to trying on the complete garment. If your arm fits the sleeve, then try on the dress. Over the years, this has proven to be an easy way to find out if dress sleeves will fit before trying on a garment. This is particularly helpful at a flea market, antique show, etc. where there are usually no facilities to try on vintage clothes. When wearing vintage clothes and pinning a brooch or flowers to the garment, make sure the pin's thickness does not gouge the threads of the fabric. Vintage fabric can have the threads broken and start a hole that can never be repaired. If you have a long dress or one with a short train attached, practice wearing it and walking in it a few times. It is so easy to catch a heel in the vintage fabric and tear it beyond repair. Caring for vintage clothes is time consuming. The fabric is so delicate and requires special care. After you wear one of your vintage garments, turn it inside out and drape it over a chair so the garment can dry out if it has any perspiration on it. In a perfect world, you should wash or dry clean the garment after you wear it. The less time you give odors and stains to set in, the more likely they will vanish during washing or dry cleaning. Here a few tips on washing, dry cleaning, stain removal, and moth protection. Some I have used, and some are suggestions I found by doing research on caring for vintage clothes. I have used a product called Le Blanc linen (wash.fwww.lmenwash.com or ) This is a great product for washing vintage linens and any cotton fabric, and I highly recommend it. Several articles I have read recommended using Ivory Snow for washing. Every article I have read says not to use Woolite on vintage fabric because it may damage the fabric. I always hand wash vintage fabric. I have read articles that say it is okay to use the washing machine. The dry cleaners can be a good source for cleaning vintage garments. You must have a good relationship with your dry cleaner. From personal experience, sometimes that doesn't even work, as my favorite vintage silk dress was returned to me in shreds. Do talk to the dry cleaner before having a vintage garment cleaned. Most of the time they will take the extra precaution needed to clean a vintage item. Moths are not one of my favorite subjects. I think central Georgia must be the moth capital of the world. I have to use moth balls and endure the smell. I did read an interesting article that stated, put the garment in a pillow case and put it in the freezer. Keep it there for one week and this process should kill everything that eats the fabric. I think I will stick with month balls and the smell. Here are some off the wall tips for getting stains out of vintage clothes. (Use with caution) Remove make up by rubbing stain with a slice of bread. Use comstarch to blot onto any stains that occurs while wearing the garment (it will absorb the stain and minimize damage, as a stopgap measure before regular cleaning) Use toothpaste (non-gel, non colored, and no additives) to remove blood and protein stains. Storing vintage clothes can be a challenge also. If you hang the garment, never use a metal hanger. Use a padded hanger, or better yet, roll the garment in a clean old white sheet (muslin, linen or 100% cotton) and put it in a container that breathes. This way of storing is great because when you unroll the garment the wrinkles will disappear in a short time. Do not use a plastic bag! A bag cannot breathe.
