Currently I am not brave enough to try, but by watching, I feel likemI am getting some classroom training. I enjoy seeing the antique clothing, and of course your sewing machine could not be any sweeter!<br /><br />I may not comment often, but I sure enjoy checking in!<br /><br />Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018759947323172764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18213663.post-56625991156243806992012-09-28T10:07:20.649-04:002012-09-28T10:07:20.649-04:00Thanks!
The fabric is really interesting. It was ...Thanks!<br /><br />The fabric is really interesting. It was sold by Hancock's (big box store) as cotton broadcloth, but the saleslady was suspicious of the fabric content labeling, and so am I. <br /><br />The weave is a complex tiny jacquard (?), with tiny triangles in black and white-gray. The triangles show white on one side, black on the other.<br /><br />Part of the threads feel cottony, while the others feel more like silk. The hand has no synthetic feel to it.<br /><br />I am thinking it's actually a light suiting of some sort, or tie fabric. Who knows. It's really neat stuff and has a great drape. I've had it for at least 5 years.<br /><br />Very best,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086335016901683883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18213663.post-44557532639624891862012-09-28T09:56:04.691-04:002012-09-28T09:56:04.691-04:00Wow, perfect fit!

We miss you.<br /><br />Yes, it's a fun adventure, and I am enjoying the change from Regency seriousness. The dress is going to be all fluff and puff and pouf!<br /><br />Hugs to all of you,<br /><br />NatalieZipZiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02086335016901683883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18213663.post-17989970543440509732012-09-27T07:41:55.925-04:002012-09-27T07:41:55.925-04:00What an adventure!
