Does anyone know where I can get patterns or pattern booklets for rickrack
work that does not involve knitting or crochet, just sewing the rickwork
together in patterns? I've seen a few Victorian and Edwardian garments
that used it (the Victorians tended to call it "wavy braid") but not
patterns that I can remember. I'm not looking for freebies, but if anyone
has the title of an antique or modern book, booklet, or magazine I'll hunt
it up and buy it.
All of what I've seen involves crochet. But I do own one printed sheet
from the Wright trim company, showing one how to make an early 1950s dress
entirely out of the stuff. You might ask them if they have a copy in their
archives (because I can't find mine).
BTW, I've always seen the stuff called "wave braid", never "wavy braid" or
"waved braid".
