Hello Everyone!
I noticed yesterday that our Town Mayor's jabot is: a) getting tatty and,
b)machine made. Subsequent enquiries have resulted in the knowledge that our
town does not possess a handmade jabot so..I am thinking of making one!!!
The ones they have are very frilly, and they like
lace jabots.
Some years back, the ladies of The Border Lacemakers made new jabots for the
town council,I think... the booklet they published had eight patterns in it.
The booklet was titled Millennium Jabot Patterns. They were Torchon edgings
about 2.5 to 3 inches wide with corner-finished ends
I admire the idea, Aurelia, of making 9 jabots for judges of the Supreme
Court. I hope that it comes to fruition.
May I suggest that when the jabots have been made that they be given to
the Supreme Court for use by the Judges not as personal gifts. That
way the jabots can be used in
Dear Arachnids
Keep me posted about the jabots and don't forget photos. I would love one of
them all being worn.

People wouldn't need to complete a whole jabot, would they? Couldn't each
person just make a length for one layer of the jabot. That would distribute
the making more evenly, allow more people to be involved
As this now seems to be getting serious VBG there are a couple of things
that come to my mind.
First is that you are probably making it for the post rather than person, so
what is a lady judge now may not always be.
You do need to make sure that they will be welcomed (there is a hell of a lot

I had wondered how well all this would be received...or IF it would be used at

make these in triplicate!!
Is that one to wash, one to wear and one to air? g

Why the President of the IOLI? Isn't this an Arachne idea after all? Of
course, if she is on Arachne at the time of the presentation it would be
appropriate.
Well, I guess it depends on who is clever
When we made the lace for the Melbourne Lord Mayor, it was made in a
continuous circle - 4½ times around, I believe (or maybe 5½ times, I can;t
remember). When the footside was laid straight, the outer edge frilled.
This meant that only enought lace to cover the distance had to be made, not
2 or
be for the Court, not the individuals, I
assume. Also, they should be fairly sturdy...seeing as we have no idea who
will be caring for them.hopefully some knowledgable textile conservator.
Do we want all lace jabots, or linen with lace trim? I would imagine that
Lady Justices' would be more
