| 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 : Fabulous loopy bouble yarns in a seafoamy aqua are woven into 1.5″ bands seperated by 1/2″ plain cloth . The plaincloth is also a mix of subtle colours in blue & off white. I also have 1/2 yard to use as a piping or an accent. The weave makes an textured design that is exquisite. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!! I used simple cuts and luxurious co-ordinates to create a couture one of a kind look. You can design your own special garment ! LENGTH : 3.12 yds stripes + 0.5 yds solid WIDTH : 28 – 29 inches inch FIBER CONTENT : Mixed fibers. USES : clothing trim, home decor ! Please fuse all edges with knitted interfacing & overlock the edges to prevent fraying of hand woven fabrics.
