Hi everyone, and thankyou Jeri for the link. I was especially interested in the machine-made lace trim, do-it-yourself with the serger. I don't own a serger and it seems this project will take a great quantity of thread - it is a clever way to make lace trim quickly, and in colours of one's choice.
If I was to trim the collar of a garment such as this with hand made lace I would choose one of the narrow free-hand laces - pins at the sides only, and just the dance steps to memorize (no, no, Clay, not the 15 yards, just the trim for the collar!). Yes, I have done this to trim a garment, a simple handwoven blouse made for me by my husband. If he were to weave fabric from which I would make a smock, I would certainly make the lace. Since I would look like something to put over a teapot if I was to wear such a thing, both he and I are relieved of this ambition :^) However, the article offers possibilities to expand one's lace repertoire Here's the serger scalloped trim http://www.sewbeautifulmag.com/pages/89feature03.html bye for now Bev, waiting for the fog to burn off, in sunny Sooke, BC (west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED]
