Hi All
Thanks for all the advice I knew there would be many different ones. Now I
have to find the one that works for me. I started on the lace for the hood
last night so will hopefully finish that today only 12 to do and it is a
simple pattern I am using the pattern on page 35 of Christine
Hi Spiders
I am making a cloak for one of my mum's dolls and putting a lace edging on it.
What I would like to know is how you would do it yourselves. I am thinking of
doing it in one piece with 2 corners on it, but thought maybe I should be
doing three different lengths and then sewing them on
Definitely one piece with two corners - then there are only one send of
ending threads to deal with!!

Hi:
It's not one of the options you suggested, but I'd make one long piece
and mitre it around the corners. It's historically true and there's no
way you're going to wind up having to fiddle the lace into a space to
large or too small for it (working on the theory that sometimes the
length
I think I would also make it in one long length, easy to work and roll
around the wooden pin while working it, no mistakes possible with miss
counting pattern repeats, you would just need an extra bit of lace so the
outside edge of the lace works right around the corner, the inside will
mitre
Dear Wendy,
I'd curve the edges of the cloak if it is a cape effect. That way one piece of
lace can be attached without corners and eased around the curves.
Happy Lacemaking,

I agree with Sue Adele... around 45 inches long as a single piece,
no measuring then finding it's wrong!! (anything for an easy
