It is described as "a whalebone line-winder incised with the figure of a bird" from north Norway, however there is no indication of how big the artifact is. I originally saw this on a website somewhere, but found it in this book afterwards.Metanoianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968310111454529488.post-52802637159364746282009-07-27T22:13:35.000-07:002009-07-27T22:13:35.000-07:00Greetings.

I don't know what type of dress or what size you are. However there are magazines that have patterns. You can look up in your area sellers of <a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61DAEH5JHPL._SL500_AA240_.jpg" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Gosu Rori Magazine</a> for lots of patterns or <a href="http://thingstoobsessover.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/gothandlol.jpg" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Gothic & Lolita Bible</a>.<br><br>The magazines are in japanese, but the measurements are all in normal numbers and there are lots and lots of pictures and fantastic pictorial instructions for the patterns.

You can pick up the magazine for about $25 in Melbourne from Minotaur Comics or Kanga Kanga. For reference, the top line is about 5.5cm from the top, the next line is about 10-12cm below that. Hope this helps. Look for me at AVCon and come and say hi!Metanoianoreply@blogger.com
