Re: [h-cost] scalloped sleave ruffles
Hi, Thanks for your help. I dont want to make a fringe on the edge of the scallopes, and a lady from the gustavians, told me she had used a spray glue on the backside of the silk and then a hairspray on the edge, and it worked very well. Ill try this out, also because this is things i can get here, and i dont want to waite for a month for an order overseas. Thanks anyway...

[h-cost] scalloped sleave ruffles
Hi again, Forgive that i have another question. I want to make the sleave ruffles of the yellow dress with scalloped edges. I dont have pinking tools, and i just want to cut it with ordinary scissors. How could i make the edge of this, so it wont fray? Should i make buttonhole stitches? I want to add small bouquets of chenille flowers here and there! Could i turn the edge, about 1-2 mm. and perhaps cut it each top? I dont want to make tiny ones, but scallopes about 5 cm. wide Bjarne Leif og Bjarne Drews www.my-drewscostumes.dk http://home0.inet.tele.dk/drewscph/ ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] scalloped sleave ruffles
What little I know of these styles, they did use raw edges on the scallops right? You don't have a set of pinking shears? You can also apply a very light coat of fray check with a micro brush.

Dear Saragrace, Perhaps this would be a good idea. Ill try to ask in my shops if they have this stuff over here. I am most conserned because i want to apply (embroider on) some chenille flowers on the edge, and i am afraid if they will run out But it would be the best solution to do, for authentic look!

Bjarne If I don't want to use my pinking tool, I usually cut my scalloped ruffles with pinking scissors, - gives a period look. Sometimes I use fraycheck - depends on the fabric.

When scallops were popular fifty years ago, scallops were hemmed by laying a hem band together with the fabric, cutting the scallops, sewing them together on the scalloped edge with a narrow seam allowance, turn and hem the hem band to the reverse of the fashion fabric. hope this helps, Kitty ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
