Fw: [lace] Re: pattern would you use? Colour
I just got very sneeky The young bride to be was telling me how close her wedding was so I was able to ask a few questions and so I know know she has an ivory dress, so now my question is, What threads come in the best ivory. Preference is silk or maybe cotton. I like Gutterman silk, so do any of you know if they do a good ivory? I have never bought ivory mostly using white, occasionally thicker threads in colours. I can change the sizes up or down to get the right grid for the thread once I work out what might be best. I have not yet decided what to do as I have been concentrating on completing my lady picture and clearing away all the threads from the bobbins. I will go through my books looking for something which might make a good choice over the next week or so I expect. Hello Sue and everyone Just some thoughts - Make white lace then tie appropriate colour ribbon on the lace somewhere, when you do know? If the bride has chosen off-white, sew on a tiny off-white button 'for luck' ?

Hi Sue! I just asked my DD what she would like her dress made out of. She turned bright red. The kidlett doesn't even have a boyfriend...let alone a wedding date. Mom's planning wy in advanced.

If silk, make the lace in silk, if cotton, make the lace in cotton. I would be surprised if a 16 year old would want a linen wedding dress. Do you have a date for this wedding?

Hi Beth! This is one project that I have no clue as to what type of thread to use. Should I use linen, silk, cotton? I'm stumped here.

Colour Hi all If lace is being made so far in advance the bride's colour choices aren't decided/known, white lace seems sensible as it could perhaps be dyed at a later date to match/complement the bride's dress fabric choice? Might be a good idea to choose a thread that will take dye well if this is a possibility Beth Cheshire, NW England - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

"When giving something to a friend not relative like a horseshoe, handkerchief or other small item to a bride without knowing the colour of her gown etc are there any ideas people could tell of how they achieved that without it looking out of place?" Sue T *** I would think white would be good regardless, as if she does cry, it needs to be washed. It is ideal for a baby bonnet conversion with a note to explain, so she may not care if wearing ivory, etc. I suppose a bit of blue could be worked in, in case she hasn't taken care of that belief (and many babies have blue eyes before they change). I would think the sentiment would outweigh any questions of use, and at least you know it would be kept for down the road. I suppose a bit of ivory would be worked in with the white, also. Patterns, I can't suggest as there are so many, but I particularly like embroidered initials, or the last name taken for both, and the future child.

When giving something to a friend not relative like a horseshoe, handkerchief or other small item to a bride without knowing the colour of her gown etc are there any ideas people could tell of how they achieved that without it looking out of place? Sue T Dorset UK, dry and brightish after a wild windy night I too wanted to make lace for my youngest daughter's future wedding but neither she nor I had any idea what kind of dress she would want and so I began yardage for a wedding veil when she was still in high school. I chose a torchon pattern about 2 " wide and used Metler 60/2 cotton thread. Over the next 5 years I made 8 yards. I used all but 13" when I made the veil. I also made her garter and lace for a hanky. Finally I made a square mat that was open in the center for the bridal pillow and after the wedding I took the mat off the pillow and put a picture of the bride and groom in the center, framed it and gave to the bride and groom. There are lots of ways to use lace in a wedding besides on the dress. Carol Melton - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
