Keswick Stitchers: The corset unlaced!
http://keswickembroiderers.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-corset-unlaced.html
This is the online home of the Keswick branch of the Embroiderers Guild. Wednesday, 24 June 2015. Those of us who'd watched the Great British Sewing Bee had been impressed by the corsets produced by the contestants. They had involved twelve pattern pieces. The fabric for this one of Gill's was constructed from many layers of fabrics , and so took several multiples of that! A detail from the corset above. The dress under this corset was an old wedding dress. The corset and the overskirt were stunning.

This is the online home of the Keswick branch of the Embroiderers Guild. Sunday, 22 February 2015. The mystery was solved at our February meeting, when Marilyn revealed the subject of her workshop. We were to make a small book, by weaving a variety of threads and fabrics into a canvas background, which she had coloured for us. These were two of the examples Marilyn had brought to show us, and we set to work. Once the canvas had been covered, out came the sewing machines! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Septe...

http://keswickembroiderers.blogspot.com/2015/07/woolfest-2015.html
This is the online home of the Keswick branch of the Embroiderers Guild. Saturday, 4 July 2015. This year's Woolfest was as good as ever. There seemed to be more stallholders than last year, and it certainly took several tours around the hall to see everything. More than just wool, of course! The animals don't seem to mind having their photographs taken. The Wool Clip's Exhibition was particularly inspiring; artists using local wool in the most innovative ways.
