Because you'd rather be... sewing: couture lingerie

 

Picture from Threads magazine online post here

While I was going through the March 2010 issue of W magazine, I noticed that there was a ton of clothing emphasizing sheer fabrics & laces. I've been working on some new ideas for my shop & researched some millinery & lingerie techniques. During my research, I came across this article from Threads magazine. It gives a great overview on working with delicate fabrics & laces. See the article here.  If you sew apparel, Threads and Altered Couture are really great magazines from the Stampington & Company collection.
