Hello all, I am new to the list and this is my first post! :) In
regards to the dilemma with what to do with the 5 plus yards of black
linen, I know from experience that when something good like that lands
on your lap it's very hard to chose a project with it later, my bins
are full of about 5 yd cuts of absolutely gorgeous satins and laces
that I am afraid to use because there is only enough for one dainty
outfit and then it's gone. When the black linen comes to mind, the late
Victorian or Edwardian period definitely is a good era to use it on, so
many suits and things were made with black linen. In fact, the dress
Rose's mother is wearing in the scene when they are touring the ship
comes to mind also. You can make a slim walking suit with that and use
a white silk and light coloured or even brightly coloured lace in
addition to that.
I need some advice on accessory making, particularly hats. I have only
made one hat and it was entirely without the assistance of a purchased
pattern. I would like to start making more Victorian and Edwardian era
small accessories as well, not just garments though I am not sure where
to start or what formal techniques other costumers use! Do the majority
who have made them use both patterns and techniques acquired from a hat
making class?
