[lace] Colour run

I've noticed on a particular TV quiz show that the producers obviously don't like the ladies to show too much leg or any cleavage whatsoever, and I suspect the wardrobe department has a stock of black leggings to wear with short dresses and both black and white lace-edged rectangles of fabric

Re: [lace] Colour run/ modesty panel

I like this one too Jean. I have a couple I have made plus one commercial one, so I will try pinning and playing with them to see what looks ok, what good and what great, before I decide to make any specific lace, which I have now decided is a must. Perhaps I will achieve something before my

Re: [lace] Fwd: Modisty panel

Thank you Darlene, that thought has been rattling around my head also for a couple of days. I have what might be a suitable top already, so I will try it on underneath it to see if it all sits ok, the new grey one is a snug fit around the top, so I dont want wrinkles in the camisole

RE: [lace] Fwd: Modisty panel

As I read the replies to this question a thought popped into my head. Why not purchase a fine knit camisole and add a band of lace across the top. Naturally, you could alter the neckline to work with the lace you have done. I think it would sit best with the top in question and could be used

Hi Jill I use a dark blue matt sticky backed plastic because most of my work done using fine thread and in white, which gives a good contrast and not so hard on the eyes. You can also buy the sticky backed plastic in paler, more neutral colours. Catherine Barley Henley-on-Thames - where

Hi Jill, I was taught to use a piece of fabric folded into quarters (finish the edges to avoid rough edges). The pattern is traced onto a piece of soft plastic which I buy in the upholstery department at JoAnn Fabrics in the US, using a permanent marker. You have to remember to reverse the

Jill Architect's linen isn't really necessary. Most of us use standard weight paper for the pattern, and then cover the paper with sticky plastic film (to keep the pattern from tearing, and to keep ink off the lace). I suggest you look at http://needlelacetalk.ning.com We have a BEGINNERS
