Clothing Club Meets Tonight
Hi All,
It's been a couple of months since we met up because of our September Swiss Trip - And that took a little bit away from the video making production. Good news though, I put a video together that wraps up August's meeting on the first steps in constructing our Basic Blouse. You can Watch the Video below:
| When we were in Switzerland, everyday was packed with activities and lot of fun. We went shopping at the Zurich and St Galen corporate BERNINA stores | 
|
 |
and had an opportunity to visit the Textile Museum in St Gallen. The textile museum holds an amazing archive of lace and trim as well as embroidery. |
| The world's first embroidery machine. Equipped with the capacity to embroidery 25 emblems at one time. |  |
| There is a device to the left of the machine which the operator uses to move the needles into the correct position - PER STITCH! Can you image how long this could have taken? |  |
| I found a dress on display that I am very eager to copy. It was a 1960s sheath dress covered in lace. Of course this would be an awesome embroider along for all of us, right? |  |
So I took it all in, bought some fabric, have some ideas for new classes and hope to share with you all of the learnings in due course.
For tonight, I excited to see what everyone is working on. I plan on sharing some techniques on the basic blouse for professional construction of a pleat, attaching a yoke and topstitching.
Hope to see you tonight,
Gayle
