[h-cost] Techniques - sample suggestions? (long)
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. Phoenix 1.
