What feathers are best for sewing onto fabric in order to get a nice
sleek look?
The project is going to consist of a sheath type dress, covered in feathers.
I don't have any experience working with them, so advice is greatly
appreciated.
(best way to layer, attach...etc)
Not for a sleek look, but when I made the two peacock feather cloaks,
http://suziclarke4384.fotopic.net/p10043022.html which comprised
peacock feathers on silk organza, I sewed through the "stalk" (don't
remember the proper name) and then again through the feathers near
the top. You have to ruffle the feathers - sorry! - in order to hide
the thread, but this is not difficult. You will need a lot of
feathers to cover completely, as you will need to overlap them, I think.
