Hi All,
I have recently been lucky enough to purchase (from ebay) a couple of dainty antique parasols, with heavily rotted/damaged silk covers, but with perfect working frames. I am now in the process of removing the old fabric and making templates to recover the frames in new silk. My plan is to make a lace outer for each of them (eventually) and can't decide whether to try and design my own patterns from scratch or base them on an existing motifs? Do I make all sections the same or do I try and design the lace so that each section is different? Oh decisions decisions!! and oh for more free time - sometimes think there should be more hours in the day and days in the week to fit in all the things I would like to do.
Has anyone out there done this sort of thing before and do you have any tips to pass on?
Hopefully I'll be able to post some progress photos on the web in due course.
Happy lacing to one and all,
from,
Andrea
in a somewhat dull Cambridge (UK).
