Okay, I'm very guilty of just glossing over and deleting things that don't pertain to me at that moment. And so I've done with the information regarding garters. (I only have 3 daughters; why on earth would I want information on garters?!) Could I possibly have been in denial that they would one day leave home and, gasp! get married? <vbg> But I find myself most likely needing one for a wedding next summer and I'm sure I will need every month of this next year to complete this, being a very slow lacemaker and looking at an another possible overseas move later this summer. (I'm just getting the bobbins untangled from the last move!) So, for the first few questions...would 1.5 inches be a wide enough lace? And exactly how is the lace attached to the elastic? And I'm assuming the length should be based on the measurement of her thigh x how much? The pattern we are currently looking at is called Marjory, found in 100 Traditional Bobbin Lace Patterns by Stott and Cook. The idea is to work the lace in silk using white Au Ver A Soie with a blue gimp, hopefully in Soie Perlee. I've not checked yet to see if that is available. Is this a reasonable plan? Is there something more we should consider? And is there something written on the web or elsewhere regarding making garters, so perhaps I can refer to that rather than bother the list with questions I know have been addressed in the past? Any an all input is appreciated. Dona in West River, MD where the house is open and a warm 80 degree breeze is blowing through.
