I can't decide if I'm going to want to hang the lace from the bottom of the coat, or sew it on so that it's flush with the bottom. I think I want the hangy effect, but I don't want it to pull in parts, or hang crooked. Almost time for me to finally pull the coat out and measure and get to work.
The thing about this lace is that it's fairly easy to make, and really awesome looking. There's something about it that's a little edgier than most lace, but there's nothing too special about it, and I can't decide what it is. Even in the book, where it's white it looks a little extra interesting.
The other thing is that i have so much other lace that I wanted to plaster all over this jacket, it is patchwork, and pirates are all about excess; but now I don't want to distract from my special handmade lace. I'll have to find other places for it.
Just had an epiphany. Maybe this lace would look best around the colar and cuffs....might be to bulky though. That yellow brown and green gathered lace might look good around the cuffs. And the ugly/beautiful multicolored around the colar. Too many ideas coming in now. Definately need Jackie's opinion and calming influence here. Maybe just a million layers of lace up from the bottom. Maybe some on shoulder seams....oooh. JACKIE!

Yay! Vague internet stardom! Mentioned in a random blog. lol Anyways, that lace massages my shoulders while I sleep. It's simply that amazing. The placement though, that's hard. How long is the coat? Is it just being added to your patchwork one? You did say patchwork so I'll assume that's the jacket we are talking about. I dont think it would work off the bottom hem. Perhaps under the cuffs? Like a faux undershirt lace. The shoulder seems would rock though. That might be just the place for it.
