Re: [h-cost] my new suit
These colors are wonderful together, Bjarne--and using the taffeta is very resourceful. Can't wait to see the finished suit!

First to the right is the ribbed silk, second is a silk taffeta wich is very close to the colour of the ribbed silk, wich i will make a border of each side of the jacket to embroider on. It is very difficult to embroider on the ribbed silk, so that is why i use the taffeta. Finally to the right is the dark grey silk taffeta for the waistcoat. http://www.my-drewscostumes.dk/mixedsilksuit..htm Bjarme Leif og Bjarne Drews www.my-drewscostumes.dk http://home0.inet.tele.dk/drewscph/ ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] my new suit
Lov-er-ly! I was just thinkingit's important, I think, to make sure somehow that the appliqued embroidery looks, without a doubt, that it was MEANT to be appliqued. Y'know what I mean? I'm not sure how this can be achieved, but somehow the applique process must be part of the embroidery process too. Maybe some element, leaves or fruit or something, can be the quilted taffeta. Or appliqued lace is also incorporated. [I don't mean to design things for you, I'm just thinking out loud] In Fashion in Detail somewhere is some embroidery on a waistcoat that is made up of multiple techniquesan appliqued lace with embroidery over it and sequins or something like that. Am I making sense? I just don't want someone to look at your suit and think Oh he took the embroidery off a bed hanging and applied it to the coat. It must look like it was meant to be appliqued from the start. Then of course you have to do it to the waistcoat. :-P ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] my new suit
Hi, Yes i know exactly what you have in mind, have ben thinking about adding a fine mesh tulle into the taffeta and make an embroidered border of a ribbon between the ribbed and the taffeta. I am making embroidery drafts in the evenings. Also got a box full of hand twisted Mulberry silk threads, wich i want to use for the embroidery, together sith flosses from Eterna and Scallamandre. And and and, also tiny tiny silver spangels from Hedgehog. But i force myself to work on the chenille dress, and i have made quite a progress, finished all the embroidery and are sewing on the bullion trimmings. I wont start the embroidery of this jacket untill i have finnished thisdress. Ill post some pictures of the yellow dress soon.
