There is a larger picture online somewhere that shows the red to be embroidery, probably silk thread. But if you are asking about cutting back on the embroidery by appliquing wool felt where there is red, I would recommend a velvet or silk. Not sure they would have appliqued wool on to silk back then.
De -----Original Message----- Hi, Several years ago I found a picture on the internet that I really liked. http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~triade2/tijdelijk/Blauw.jpg And several years ago I bought a very nice blue silk. I was wondering if red wool felt and gold cord would work for the embroidery. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
