Dear Arachneans Thanks for all the help on getting the right kind of pattern for de lace that will go on the sleeves of Prince Maurits (around 1600). I hereby want to thank everyone who wrote to me with advice or helpt me in a different manner. It is finished. Well within the timelimits. In a couple of weeks the lace will be on display in the army museum in Delft, The Netherlands. Before handing it over to the costume maker, I made a scan of the lace. The pattern is an adaptation of a pattern from the "Linnenkast" from the OIDFA study group of old Dutch household linnens. By reducing the size to suit linnen 120/2, it is now a very delicate little lace. The costume maker got a flattering, greedy look in her eyes and started to talk about how it would look on this piece of red velvet she had. And how she could make me a nice period dress if I provided her with another 50 centimeters of the same stuff. Almost a pitty I don't need a period dress.Is there somewhere I could sent the picture so that it can be seen? There will be more pictures, the costume-maker assured me. Maybe I can convince my fiancee to teach me how to make my own photo album, so I will be able to share those pictures with you.
