Rumba Rue Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Very good! Aye, you'll find cotton velvet much better. Back in the winter months, JoAnne's fabrics had a wonderful wine colored cotton velvet, that was really tempting....but I still have a few projects yet to do.

lorien_stormfeather Posted May 11, 2005 Author Share Posted May 11, 2005 Thanks all for the compliments! I had to stare at the velvet for about a week before I dared cut into it! It wasn't difficult to sew, but it has crushed in places with only two wearins'!!! A lightweight twill fabric would probably be better for Faire wear. Summers do get HOT here in Portlandia. Summer is only July-September though! I originally was going to use a hook and eye closure, but decided that the lacing made it more "pirate like". For those looking for boning. The new Townsend's catalog has rubber coated and tipped steel boning cut to size. link to JAS Townsend online I just used the fabric store variety in this jacket.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Aye, that be a fine job ye did. It seems I need to plunder ye local fabric merchant for said pattern. However, I must hide it from me mate. I be spendin all his treasure. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
