I'm considering lace, more specifically the lace I have been working with this week. I have no problem deciding how to use the open pieces, the pieces which have holes edged with hand embroidery, which are light and floaty. The top piece however? I have been pondering that piece. It has a unique handle to it, it is light, at least the base cloth is light yet it doesn't have the fragility of the open pieces.
Pondering has led me to believe that surface is perfect for garments. Thing is I don't do garments. Why don't I do garments? Because I don't know how.
Everyone has to start somewhere right? It may as well be now, here with this cloth. Don't get too excited though, I still have to actually make more of this cloth first. I also have to find a pattern. AND.....there won't be any full dresses, blouses, skirts or anything being made. I'm thinking a bodice? A sleeve? A bolero front? they may be the best places to start.....
