keinanna Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I went into the local hobby store today to drool over their houses and plan which ones i want next and found a HUGE roll of lace it is wide enough to make full length sheer drapes in a 1/12 scale dollhouse. The roll was $5 and has enough to probably make over 100 sets of drapes i could not believe the price on it i of course bought it. It is ivory colored lace but with fabric dye i can make them look different it has really nice scalloped edges too. They just wanted to get rid of all their lace so i helped them with at least one roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneck princess Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Very nice find! I'm keeping my eye out for lace, too, since I would like to use some for my window treatments in the Pierce. Have fun and can't wait to see what you do with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chesterfieldzoo Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 If you have too much, maybe you could offer to trade some for something else here. That might be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Wow! What a find! Lovely lovely lace! Cool! It's hard to find good lace for curtains as it has to be so tiny. Scale is so very important in every aspect of dollhouse building and decorating. Something just a bit off-scale, than throw the whole scene off. But you've found a good lace!

keinanna Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 I can take pictures of the lace itself if you want but otherwise it might be a little while before i get to the point of being able to do windows i have another 10 days to wait before i can start buying things again and need to buy stuff for wiring and my addition to the house before i will be able to do decorating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keinanna Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 I am also open to trades if anyone is interested. Let me know what you want to trade if you are interested. I particulary could use purple fabric scraps for bedding etc.. since most of my Orchid will be done in purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
