Hi Mary,
I too want to make more of these (what beautiful Christmas gifts for those who appreciate handwork!). I found some beautiful Liberty cottons at, of all places, Joann’s. It’s the same lightweight drape as the macaron fabric so I bought small amounts (1/2 yard) of several designs. It’s not cheap but I think a half yard will line at…[Read more]

If you’re like me you like to see and feel the fabric when deciding what you want to buy as it is difficult to judge weight of a fabric or scale of a design from a 2″ photo on-screen. Mood fabrics is an online company that carries a wide selection of fabrics, including silks. My orders have always shipped on time and arrived in good condition. One…[Read more]

Hello Sarah,
I so love this class. Thank you so much.
Since the demise of fabric stores in the US I have found it very hard to locate a selection of fabrics for projects. Do you have any online (or other) suggestions?

Dear Sarah,
Earlier you advised me that with the Feathered Chain, there is a small risk that my tacking stitches to mark the design line might be visible, especially with the high contrast of colors, but if they can’t be taken out, you have solutions for that after the Feathered Chain is completed. I am wondering what solutions you can offer, p…[Read more]

Hi Beth,
You are absolutely correct, it should be subtracting 1mm not adding. I swear I thought I’d tested the calculations, but apparently I was half asleep when I did.
My apologies for confusion,
Sarah

Virginia,
This is absolutely beautiful! I’m so glad you shared this with us, and I’m thrilled you were able to transfer the skills you’ve learnt into something so special to you!
I’m particularly impressed with the mitred corners on the inside of the lid and how you got the grain of the outer fabric so well lined up.
I love the use of the…[Read more]

Sarah,
It looks to me as though the calculator for the lid ADDs a mm to the inner lid dimension. Shouldn’t it be subtracting 1 mm?

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your exceptional instructions!
I originally signed up for this class because I wanted to make an acid-free decorative box to house a family heirloom bobbin lace collar. My first box was too small for the job so I made a second, larger one to the required measurements.
The collar was from a silk gown worn in 1898 by my…[Read more]
