Ladies' Wrap, April 21, 1912

My wonderful friend has set up this blog for me, so here goes! I received the group 9 pattern for the ladies' wrap last week and have gathered together the materials I want to use. I have a lovely off white China silk shawl with fringe from Thai Silks, another piece of matching China silk, some back net and the center of a very old lace tablecloth, the edges of which I use years ago to make a 1912 wedding dress for a dear friend. So my wrap will be made of black net overlayed  with the tablecloth lace, and lined with china silk. I'll use some embroidered net lace from my stash and the fringe from the shawl to trim the wrap. I hope to get to the actual making this weekend, between work and a lovely tea dance we have planned for tomorrow afternoon.
