Today, I summoned the courage to cut into my precious stash of Anna Maria Horner voiles. The word that sprung to my mind to describe these fabrics is 'diaphanous'. On checking, diaphanous = 'light, delicate and translucent, esp. of fabric'. Exactly!
I have had this in my head for a while:
A light and pretty scarf for summer. I have been hoarding the divine lace edging for several years now. My sister-in-law bought it for me at a laceworks in Italy, and I have been keeping it for 'something special'.
I took photos as I made this scarf, so I hope to be back soon with a tutorial. It makes for a very quick and easy Christmas present.
I am on a bit of a Anna Maria Horner binge at the moment. This is my stack of 'Innocent Crush' just waiting to be transformed. I purchased these from Cathy atWondrous Woven Fabricswho I highly recommend. While it waits for inspiration to strike, my stack sits prettily and is stroked regularly!
oh wow, that fabric! I've never heard of this designer before... I need to check her out! I love the scarf you've made, the lace and the fabrics are beautiful.
Gorgeous scarf Ros - looks perfect for summer!! I have developed a bit of a "thing" for scarves this year, inspired partly by the lovely ones Nina wears in "Offspring", and also a need for more warmth on numerous cold wintry days and nights whilst watching my 2 sons play soccer and football.
very pretty and very brave of you
