The previous post, showing what I got from last Sunday's visit to the creative re-use thrift store, included a small length of a lightweight light green woven (which the burn test suggested might be a cotton silk blend? maybe short staple noil-y kinda silk?) and a copy of Simplicity 8085 from 1987
which I did not purchase with intent to use together, but the combination suggested itself very quickly. Having thread and buttons that matched (somewhat) prompted me to go ahead and try it.
I did not have any suitable lace, and I ignored other aspects of the instructions, too. As I usually do.
