I also really like that Vogue pattern 2781;)<br />You said the lace won't press, I used to have this problem, try laying a piece of terry on the ironing board and use a piece of slightly dampened muslin as a pressing cloth and low steam with light pressing pressure.<br />Anyways, I know you will wow us with the finished project.Sbb1 Wellnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969745146022392092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-34764098188840284682011-04-12T20:04:52.950-04:002011-04-12T20:04:52.950-04:00The redingcote looks lovely, and I also vote for t...The redingcote looks lovely, and I also vote for the cloth trimming rather than the lace. I like the idea of mixing and matching various redingcotes with different slips. You could have your basic black, cream, and white laces (or red for daring Cathy), and a selection of slip colors. Though it might be too boring to make so many of the same thing. <br /><br />From the interest, I think you may have found your next Burda topic--how to use silk and lace (and velvet?) in menswear :).Treadle27noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-78436530536201890122011-04-12T19:47:43.602-04:002011-04-12T19:47:43.602-04:00The redingoat is looking lovely- can't wait to...The redingoat is looking lovely- can't wait to see the colour contrast with the underdress!

You can sometimes get away with trimming your lace seams to 1/8", and then doing a zigzag stitch to enclose the tiny edges. It turns out surprisely nice, especially on dark laces. I love the bias for finishing the edges; it will definitely help give it that vintage look. Can't wait to see the finished project.Vintagegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00490212245619897831noreply@blogger.com
