Good evening,
The semester is about to begin and I've suddenly realized that I need to
revise the sample requirements for my Costume Construction class. We have
as our textbook, Rebecca Cunningham's Basic Sewing for Costume Construction
A Handbook. Long Grove: Waveland Press Inc, 2005. It has a good section of
samples, but so many of those are covered in our regular apparel sewing
classes, that I don't have many left to require for this class.
Beyond Rebecca's sample list, I'm thinking of these:
Hand-worked eyelets
Cartridge pleating
Piped bindings - the piping/binding/facing combo often used on ballet
bodices
There have to be other options that I'm not remembering. Anybody have any
suggestions?
Below, I'm including the list of samples required in the textbook. Please,
if you reply to the list, delete that part for the sake of those who may be
getting this as a digest.
Thanks!
Laurie T.
