| I had to good fortune to work with a Designer weaver and together we designed “One – of – a- Kind ” suits and she specially wove the hand woven fabric to make our creation. This collaboration produced the most unique items we offered in my Couture made to order collection in my Washington DC salon. We worked with peacock feathers inlaid in fine wools, Ribbons, patent leather strips, Silks, metallic chenilles etc. Nothing was off limits in these creations. It just had to LOOK GOOD !!!! With handwoven fabrics there is extra care required. We used fusible interfacing on all seams & overlocked them in addition as fabrics are fragile. Sometimes we fused the whole fabric with lightweight interfacing to stabilize our delicate creations. Do ask any questions on construction or use of these unique textles. Good luck & have fun !
ITEM DESCRIPTION : This is truly wonderful ! White 3.8 inch grosgrain ribbon is laid & woven flat while alternating satin ribbon is crushed on the Pearl cotton warp. The effect is a little gleam from the satin on the textured grosgrain ground ! People do a double take & can’t figure out what they are seeing ! DAZZLING !! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!! I am including a picture of my sample garment so you see what it looks made up. You can design your own special garment ! QUANTITY : 3 yds
WIDTH : 28 – 29 inches inch FIBER CONTENT : grosgrain and satin ribbons on cotton. USES : clothing trim, home decor ! Please fuse all edges with knitted interfacing & overlock the edges to prevent fraying of hand woven fabrics.
