Prairie Points

[Lazy K]

Here's an easy trim. You just fold and sew. I used contrasting fabric and thread so you could see how it's done. You can also use ribbon.

[Lazy K]

Keep folding

[Lazy K]

This is the end of Step one. You can use the trim "as is" or go on to Step 2

[Lazy K]

Step 2. Fold the "down" points up behide the "up" points

[Lazy K]

End of step 2

[Lazy K]

Or you can fold the points this way

[Lazy K]

Keep folding

[Lazy K]

You're done.

[Black Hills Barb]

I really like these prairie points!

[Ida Hands]

Those are FABULOUS (and FUN)! Now we all need to make a LAZY K Dress using Prairie Points in the trim!

[Madame Olive Yew]

I made my dress with prairie points. (actually I had the dress under construction. Thats what my "that just gave me an idea" was about.

[Madame Olive Yew]

oops thats was a close up of my velvet.

These are my prairie points. They are on the bottom of a bustle bodice cut for evening wear. Oh look I covered my own buttons two (3/4")

[Lazy K]

Neat! Pretty velvet!

[Coffee Em]

What a great place for pointy trim! Nice job!

[Allie Mo]

I found this dress today at www.lacma.org. By golly, I think those are prairie points.

[Madame Olive Yew]

Goodness, that is a whole lotta prairie points!!! When I made mine, it took forever & I only made about 2 yards worth. I can't imagine how long all that took, but it certainly is pretty!! Thank you for finding those Allie.

[Lazy K]

Really pretty and an excellent example of prairie points

[Chantilly]

Ohhhhhhh Allie Mo! Great find! I love that dress - so 1870's - my favorite! I'm sniping that picture to my gotta make some day file. THANK YOU!!

[Allie Mo]

Okay ladies, since I can't get motivated to :sewing and have nothing to show you in a class, I put all of Lazy K's photos of this wonderful class in a four-page Word Document. So, you can easily print it.

If you'd like a copy, let me know. I will wait a week for responses and send them all at once. I have dial up :( :help :waiting :waiting :waiting and the doc is 9.91MB.

:ty again Lazy K!

[Lazy K]

Great idea, Allie. :ty

[Victoria Rose Hyde]

Oh yes, Allie Mo. Wonderful Idea. I would like a copy.:tban :tban

[Cinnamon Teal]

Anyway, if you've blocked your email address on the Alley, please send it to me in a pm or email.

Allie

[Kitty Phann]

Oh, me too please!!!!

[Allie Mo]

Last call (for now). I'll check later today before sending the doc.

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

late again...me too please. :ty :ty :ty

That will be cool because its a pain to sift through for a thread later when you want to remember something! :ty

[Nellie Blue]

Hope I'm not too late! Me too!!!! :chick :chick :chick

[Allie Mo]

Okay going going gone.

If anyone else wants it, maybe one of you with DSL or something faster than dial up can offer to send it on.

[Allie Mo]

Awwwweeeaaakkk!

After it was 80% plus sent, I went to take a shower. When I came back I had a message that my Webserver rejected it.

Please someone, tell me you got it.

Grumble, grumble...

[Nellie Blue]

Not me....

[Allie Mo]

My server said it was larger than my limit (in it's obscure, irritating manner). :help WWWWWAAAAA!

So sorry.

[Clancy]

Alli

You may need to zip the document to allow it to go through. If you right click on your saved document it should bring up the following. Then click on Zip and Email ( mine has cricket because thats the example of the doc name i used). This will compress the size of the file and allow you to email without a problem

[Nellie Blue]

Was it because you tried to send the email to multiple addresses? Maybe try sending it to one person...you can try emailing it to me & I can post it on my site for everyone to download...

[Allie Mo]

:ty Clancy and :Nellie for responding.

:Nellie, it was the large file not number of names.

Clancy, :ty I will zip and resend it tomorrow.

[Allie Mo]

Waaa!

I zipped it and it was still too large.

:bhd

[Greeneyed Gypsy]

really??! ohhh thats stinks!

[Bloomin']

Yeah, stinks! :(

[Clancy]

Allie can you attacheit as a document here. then people can down load it themselves?

[Allie Mo]

Upload failed. :(

[Bloomin']

Ahhhh :( Stupid computers.

[Kitty Phann]

Oh, rats!!!!

[Nellie Blue]

OK...here's something for you to try...sometimes when you save a Word document as a PDF, it will make it smaller.

Download this program and try "printing" it as a PDF... Primo PDF (http://www.primopdf.com/) - Nellie Blue Approved :D

[Nellie Blue]

My newsletters go from 3,051 kb down to 253 kb when I use that program to convert from MS Word to PDF. And it's a free program!!!

[Bloomin']

I just did a right-mouse click on the first post in this thread and selected "print" and the thread will print out. I think it is about 8 pages long to get all the instructions. Pictures printed too.

[Allie Mo]

That sounds so easy. Sorry I failed ya. Bloomin' saved the day!

YGG!

PS that's you go girl!

[Bloomin']

It's not as nice as if it's in one document, but as Blackheart says "That'll do." The entire thread doesn't print out, only the page that shows on your screen. Then when you go to page 2, you would have to do it again. But for me page 1 is posts 1-10 and that was all I needed.

Did you try it Allie Mo?

[Allie Mo]

Hi Bloomin',

No, I didn't even print it. I just figgured I'd open my Word doc when I got around to making PPs.

:ty again!

[Allie Mo]

Hello,

I hate Dial-Up :waiting :waiting for the Primo that :Nellie suggested to download. ETA in 50 minutes.

[Nellie Blue]

Oh....Dookie! I forgot a bout dial-up! :faint But it's worth it if you decide to wait!

[Allie Mo]

Whew!

I hate giving up :(

:Nellie saved the day. She's the Primo PDF Princess!

That program took my email from 10+MB to 549+KB. You should receive it momentarily.

:ty for your patience.

[Nellie Blue]

Yay!!! Was it simple to use? I'm not a good judge of that cuz my brain works differently. :lool

[Allie Mo]

Yay!!! Was it simple to use? I'm not a good judge of that cuz my brain works differently. :loolYes! Luckily, you said something about printing. That sounded a little different than I would expect. So, I read a page of the instructions first.

Next time I send a big :ss, I will try shrinking it with this program, which was free!

:ty again!

[Allie Mo]

I made my first length of PP trim. If you start with a two yard length, you will end up with about one yard of trim.

I hope this helps.

[Ida Hands]

That REALLY does Help! Thanks for the info! :ty :tban

[Clancy]

Has anyone noticed that if you iron them differently you can get a different pattern? I cant remember if K showed us this.

See how Lady Leigh and i have made the same things but they look different.

My version, see how i have one point that sits behind two points.. And Lady Leighs version where hers sit behind the next one.

[Allie Mo]

Hi Clancy,

She shows that in the last two photos. Just goes to show, GMTDS (great minds think differently sometimes). :lool
