I am using antique lace from my "collection" (stash).
I am unable to work on only one project at a time!
I will tell you that I admire people who finish one project before beginning another. There was a lady who would come into my shop and buy fabric & lace for 3 daygowns. She would go home and make them. Then, she would come back for more fabric and lace. Can you imagine?
The picture you see above will become a little hemstitched baby gown. You can see that I have already removed the threads to begin the hemstitching. I am using Swiss Batiste and some of my old lace that I have collected or been given over the years. I never use it because it is just too special. What am I waiting for? With another birthday looming, I figured now was a good time to begin using all my special laces!
ooooh looks pretty. And I agree, quit saving! My girls challenged me to not buy ANY fabric until I have sewn together ALL I have. I told them I won't live long enough. My 1920 gown is almost done.
ReplyDeleteOh Dear, I don't have a yard of fabric or lace that I regret buying. But I have regretted not buying more!! Some people collect stamps and I collect fine fabric and lace. I think it's more fun! Thanks for the encouragement to use it!
