I got one!
Opted in for what they are calling the challenge pattern. It is a lovely full length slip with insertion lace throughout. I have printed the pages off and thanks to my older model printer the pages did not come out in order. Challenge number 1 put the pages back in order.. accomplished. Challenge number 2 to come up with an acceptable substitute for the 12 yards of 1 inch wide insertion lace the pattern calls for. Quality insertion runs about $6.00 per yard, for a trial I need to substitute. Found my answer at work; the fabric department has on clearance "lace" on a spool pre-cut 6inch wide basic lace in a 10 yard length for $2.39 can I argue with that? I plan on cutting it in half and backing it with tulle or organza in a coordinating color. Number 2 challenge overcome this weekend I hope to get some sewing in - after I paint my closet and wallpaper the ceiling.
