Up for your
consideration is another marvelous Dakota Prairie Treasures Spiral Bound
Republication™ of our original Woman's Institute Lesson Book on Flapper Era
"Skeleton Foundations - Part 2" with more detailed
instructions
and frame making guides! In my humble opinion there is no time limit for these
lovely items. :) Enclosed in this DPT Republication is
a fine variety of elegant styles and variations of Flapper Era Lady's Millinery foundation frames
which were originally published 1920! (Original is NOT for sale)
The contents goes into great detail regarding creating austere and
dignified headdresses for woman of the Titanic & Flapper Eras. Wonderfully detailed instruction &
images on making the wire hat frames, wiring techniques, what type
of wire is used with what color & type of fabric,
etc! :)
This is a must-have addition to our Skeleton Foundations -
Part 1, which may be seen in our store listings.
An Excerpt:
"...a skeleton foundation is of the two-piece type; that is, the usual wire frame
consists of two parts, a crown and a brim, made separate and then combined by
being fastened together. However, it is possible to make the crown and the brim in one
piece, thus forming a one-piece frame...this section will describe the constructing of wire
brims
only."
Our new line of Spiral Bound Book Republications™ oh-so-conveniently lie flat while in use!
This is a unbelievably nice touch if you have every tried to read a pattern's instructions while your hands are full of your in progress project. As an avid needleworker myself my personal experience prompted my choice of spiral binding for it's ease-of-use alone. We believe you'll love it too!
