Thanks! Yes, it must be the flash. I used green silk satin for the
peatls on top of the sleeves and the band with triangles at the bottom
of the sleeves, but the shine of the satin reflected in the flash.

Couldn't you embroider it on a sheer fusible fabric and applique it on to the
jacket? Or something like that?
It would be a shame if you couldn't have the embroidery effect you had your
heart set on...

What a wonderful idea! I'd love to participate. Just let me know when the

I thought that if you filled out the label saying it's a "gift," and if,
besides, it's not an expensive item, there would be no trouble with
customs. I buy stuff from overseas all the time, and I've only been
charged for customs once over many years; even though the packages were

Could we sneak-mail them from a 3rd party in Canada or something?

I like the idea, too, but it might be better off if it were left
"themeless." Not all of us celebrate the holidays in the same way (or for
the same reasons), or even do the same kind of sewing.

I think this is a great idea and I'd love to participate. One other piece
of information I'd like to know is how long my giftee has been costuming.
I'd probably send something very different to someone who has just
started costuming than I would to someone who's been doing this since the

I would prefer that given the nature of the list, the gift be somehow
related to costume--a book, fabric, trimming, a pattern, a sewing tool,
or something to wear that was already made.
I am willing to participate and ship overseas if necessary.

I think this is a great idea. Would a theme be helpful or too
limiting? I was thinking like "Christmas ornament" or "costume
accessory". Hmmm, "sewing notion" sounds good too.

Would people choose names of recipients from the list or get randomly drawn ones?
It would be randomly drawn.
Would we get some other info about the person so that it can kinda be a
"get to know you" thing also?
That's an option.

Certainly, a link to any website the person has would help; a two-word
statement of costuming era or interest would also convey a lot briefly.
Long descriptions, while helpful, could become a real pain for Dawn to

Bjarne, why not embroider the flowers on smooth silk and then applique them to
the ribbed silk. It is a perfectly acceptable historic way of working
(particularly on velvet).

Oh i am so dissapointed. I tryed to embroider a small sampler on my new
ribbed silk, yesterday evening. I will have to give it up. It is most
difficult to stitch precisely because of the ribs, also transfer of pattern
on to this is very difficult. The ribs are very hard to stitch trough.

especially the many photos of antique children's wear.
