The Lesage classes I took teach techniques use in the fashion industry. This is the second level of eight. This piece measuring 12" by 24" is called Vionnet. It is meant to be sewn into a make up bag. After the second day in class I realized it is a lot of straight lines. The majority of the piece is done with the Luniville (tambour) hook. the small black and aqua flowers in the bottom border are chenille and they have charcoal leave made with DMC floss.

The following three pictures were taken by Susan Elliott.
The rest of the pictures are mine. This is the DMC leave and the chenille flower.
My lines are not too straight!
This is done on aqua silk organza. I had it framed over a silk fabric with a ripple design in it.

I am planning to take classes at Lesage soon but I hesitate. Since they've been bought out, I've heard reviews that their teaching methods aren't as good and students no longer have access to the archives among other things. I'm curious as to when you attended classes there and the level of quality. Was it recently (after it left the hands of the Lesage family?)
ReplyDeletewww.youtube.com/watch?v=ctalL88NMqM...This is a video on youtube by Robert Havens. He went to Lesage a couple of years ago and did the professional 150 hours piece. He has been teaching classes in Tambour in Kentucky since.

Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this post on Pinterest about 4 years after your last post so I hope you get this. Just need you to know I appreciate knowing the fabric you used in the pictured embroidery. I want to bead embroider onto a dress I want to make for myself and haven't yet found a good source on the "how to" on fabric. This is the closest I have found in answering my question. Thank you. You did a beautiful job.

ReplyDeleteThe piece is embroidered on aqua silk organza. It is supposed to be sewn into a makeup bag. I had it framed. As the organza is transparent I layered it over a piece of aqua rayon fabric with a ripple effect.
If you want to talk more e-mail me.
