Hi,
As you know i got a lightbox for christmas, and i emediately took it in use.
I drafted a pattern for a ladys bag with gussets and a small flap that
closes with a button. I make it in silk taffeta. I have finished the ground
embroidery and have started with
the dimentional embroidery. I
It is so beautifull!
I never thought of making 3d embroidery but it looks so lovely!
The hardshaped piece with roses is very nice too.
It makes my hand itch to try to make something as nice as your pieces.
Your a huge inspiration!

Jumping back online for a little while... I am determined to get things
organized around my house and in my office before being on the computer very
much. My office has gifts all over the floor for our subscribers who won a
contest. In the middle of all that, is a sewing machine I bought

life jumped up

I'm doing a production of CATS and need some advice.
- Best paint for painting leotards? (nylon/spandex? cotton/spandex?)
I've dyed them solid colors, but only had moderate success with fabric
paint in a tube. I need larger splashes of color than those little
tubes. My inclination is to use
Behind the power curve as normal for me. I want to thank Gia Gavino for
her lovely Holiday Gift. I got a lovely piece of wide lace, some
chiffon with a woven spot pattern, and very nice roll of gold and white
trim. My wife is thinking partlet on her new Italian, I am thinking
very fancy
If grad school we used a algae based pigment to make paints to paint on
canvas and any other fabric. The mix was mixed up to look like pearly soap
then the pigment was added. The color was heat set and permenant when
completely dry. Completely laundry friendly once heat set.

I like Jacquard products http://www.jacquardproducts.com/ , although I've never
tried to use them with fur. Their Neopaque line has great coverage and the
Luminere line is good for glitzy effects. I think all of them become permanent
with heat-setting.

Try looking at some of the other dresses in the shots. I found some that
were called ball-gowns for that period. Just different colors.

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts about how and why you do so much to
your materials. I know what you mean about pages in Acrobat -- they can be a
real bear to read, and personally I never touch anything on a website that
has to be read in Acrobat, if I can possibly help it.

Bravery is something you can experience on the spur of the moment, faced
with danger. To have courage, you must think about the dangers in advance,
then weigh the risks, and then do what you have to do, despite your fears

I still haven't been able to figure how that texture on the partlet
and head dress is made. I'm thinking it's some kind of applied
cording, but am not quite sure.
Thanks!

I have now seen two photographs of dresses from, I'd say, the early- to
mid- 1890s, each decorated with photographs. The first photo I saw was
published in _American Album_ (SBN-01892-3-395), a paperback 1968
compilation of photographs by American Heritage. This photo is at the

Anyway, I have seen something like this partlet but for the life of me I
can't seem to remember where or what kind of technique it is. I
I think the system is hiccupping. I just got one of my posts that I had sent

Dawn,
What kind of hatmaking are you interested in? Do you want to do buckram,
felt or straw? Are you looking at flat pattern construction in buckram or
pulling on blocks?
