If you'd like to work on the lace or the embroidery for the jacket, you'll need a sample kit.
The Embroidery kit contains 4 colors of Soie Perlee thread, two pieces of fabric, instructions on the stitches used in the embroidery, and patterns for a sample piece to return and a small design for you to keep.
The Lace Kit contains yardage of the real gold and silver threads being used to make lace in the jacket. It also has small pailettes (not the hand made ones for the jacket), a pattern for a sample piece, and instructions on all of the techniques that you need to work the sample. We ask that you return 3 full repeats and the kit contains enough thread for you to work at least this much yourself to keep a sample of this metallic lace.
Both kits can be ordered from Plimoth Plantation by contacting Kathy Roncarati at (508)746-1622 ext. 8114, or by sending mail to kroncarati@plimoth.org.
