I recently did a metre of heavier torchon lace in silk for a wool cape I was making for my great nephew's Christening, (which believe it or not I lost - 40 hours worth). I did an accompanying piece of torchon lace (4 metres) in fine silk thread with fresh water pearls on the spiders to accent the Christening gown. As I went along with the lace I inserted 1/4 inch silk ribbon, sorry too much of an energy conservationist to try and thread it thru later. Unfortunately as I lost the cape somewhere in Sydney, I didn't quite make the Canadian Lace Gazette 5 metre club. I was too disheartened about the loss to make more once the gown was done. I used approximately two metres of torchon done by my grandmother over 80 years ago on the petticoat.
I have about 3 metres of torchon made in DMC 20 as edging for a blouse I am making. Lynn Scott, Wollongong Australia - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
