As I recut the linen corset pieces I ended up a pile of linen ribbons. I thought I should save them, waste not want not and all, so I started dropping them in a bowl.
Once I made the pasta connection I had to put the silverware next to the dish. I did not pull a Charlie Chaplin and take a bite though.
I thought of you Alineaphile when I posted the Chaplin image because of your WC Fields kumquat post! I wondered what was used to make that shoe, now I know, thanks!
The linen pappardelle reminded me of the shape of pasta called strozzapreti ("priest-stranglers", as S. informs me)...beware, fabric trimmings in the mirror may be more dangerous than they appear! Best wishes from across the pond. J
I'm sewing my way through every corset pattern in Norah Waugh's book, Corsets and Crinolines. When I complete this challenge I hope to be able to say, "yeah, I can sew," and "yeah, I know a bit about corsets." Here's how the project began, and here are the ground rules.

ReplyDeleteHi Jonathan! I knew there was a more accurate pasta than fettucini!
ReplyDeleteI adore that you reference Charlie Chaplin in here. Your whole blog is wonderful.
