It may be a width of silk, it might be embroidered, it may be beaded.</p><br /><p>I have a few that I am desperate to use for my own inspiration, including one I have only in memory.</p><br /><p>It was a very small book with a card cover, square shaped rather than portrait. And one of the images was of a woman in a skirt with a tablier covered in small beads. However I simply can&#8217;t remmber many more details. I think I may have come across a scan of the same portrait. But I will try and do a separate post dedicated to the &#8220;plain&#8221; tablier!</p><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=glittersweet&ditemid=1818147" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
