I have been working on my storage unit the last few days. I plan to get back tot eh tutorial for heirloom sewing in the next few days. I have been working on this a little at night right before going to bed and while watching movies. It has a long way to go. I hope it fits it should but if not I guess my dress forms will be well dressed as if they aren't already.
Originally this was supposed to be done in battenberg lace. I may make one in battenberg as well but I wanted one in Romanian point lace. I have lots of supplies from 1900 so if I made one it would be made out of the old linen tapes and such that I own. I just am not fond of the care involved in a battenberg jacket. Because
Romainan cord is thicker it never needs ironing and has a personality all its own.
A pattern at this price would not happen today. This pattern is circa 1900.
UPDATE
I person in my flickr groups posted a tutorial on her blog she makes her cord different than I was taught so I do not know if hers unravels easy I will have to try her way and see.
But here is the
link if you are wanting to learn to do this type of lace. Let her know I sent you take care and have fun making lace. She has step by step instructions and a
video of the cord like I do
