Dear friends After a false start Ive completed the lace for the garter for a cousins wedding. I started using a bought pricking that made a really beautiful lace but I thought it looked to wide to make a good garter & I started to panic about finishing it in time for the wedding. The revised design is of my own making I did the design after the NEC lace fair on 4/12/2005, and since Ive made just over a metre in length in the lace. Its joined up with the ends sewn BUT how long do I make the garter? Ive asked the prospective bride to measure how round her thigh is at the relevant point. Ive got some gold elastic to weave through to make the garter & what I need to decide is how much less the elastic length (thigh minus ? cms!) needs to be to give the best balance between comfort (ie not so tight that it digs into the flesh) and security (ie not so loose that it falls down) All comments are welcome Thanks Viv In Worcestershire UK
Ps Any suggestions for using a piece of lace about 3½ ins wide and 16ins long in wedding colours (pale cream, blue & gold) will be gratefully received! - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
