Re: [h-cost] Fwd: technique used?
Probably, but in this case I think you'd have problems with the serger seam showing through on the bottom. The pin tucks appear larger than those made by specialized feet on most machines But the seam itself could be done with a straight stitch...(but not too tight-might be too stiff)...and then pulled into the scallop shape by hand Sg From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:55:42 -0400 Subject: Re: [h-cost] Fwd: technique used?

[h-cost] Nancy's Sewing Basket in Seattle was Re: walmart fabrics
Suzanne - Glad you found Nancy's. It is a really nice store as you say. You may remember a few years ago a pattern line (they only made 2 patterns) called La Mode Bagatelle? Well, you probably met the 2 women who made those patterns if you were in Nancy's on a Saturday. Susan works in the Ribbon Room (at the back of the store, I hope you went in there) and Tamara manages the store. Even though it costs a fair amount to shop at Nancy's I know I will get a good product every time. And isn't my time worth good fabric?

'Though I admit there weren't any sales going on and that's what most people would be looking for these days I think the people in Nancy's were looking for specialty items like mother-of-pearl buttons and silk ribbon for special projects.

Re: [h-cost] technique used? (Re: h-costume Digest, Vol 7, Issue 305)
Actually it is a partlet, shawl, or scarf, not a chemise. You can see the chemise/camicia in the opening under the pearl closure. It looks as if it is a scarf that is draped around the shoulder and the flesable pleats allow it to lay down. I have a hard time believing that it is several panels, just by the way it lays. It could be pintucks and then the pattern could be woven into the material. It could be something like smocking as it lays as if smocked. Because we do not have the item, we can only guess at what it might be. All we can do is play around and see if we get something close. In the back of my mind I keep thinking about Fortuny and his Delphos gowns, maybe a similar process.

Re: [h-cost] Fwd: technique used?
Nancy, I think it was done by stitching tucks into shapes on the fabric. Colette Wolff in her book The art of manipulating fabric, ISBN0-8019-8496-3 demonstrates several techniques that could be used to create this effect. -Marion McNealy Website: www.curiousfrau.com Research blog: http://mmcnealy.livejournal.com/ - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 9:05:58 PM Subject: [h-cost] Fwd: technique used?
