It is in some ways desirable that words in a spelling book should be presented in a manner as nearly like the way they appear in ordinary print as is possible. In endeavoring to do this there has been a tend­ ency in recent years to neglect syllabication, that other great aid to spelling. In this book the words are divided into syllables, but, in order to retain the similarity to original print, hyphens are not inserted between the syllables. It is undesirable to respell more than is necessary, for in respelling false ideas are given as to the proper spelling of the word. Only those words have been, yespelled where there would be doubt as to ftie pro­ nunciation, f"^;'/^ /^ r r ,-f: . ^ Some general principles regarding pronunciation of vowels are given in the beginning of the book, and an application of these principles has made it necessary to respell only a comparatively few words. No word has been respelled which is in strict conformity with these gen­ eral principles, unless it is a word which is generally mispronounced.

  • Embellishments: Exploring Dress in Detail
    Embellishments: Exploring Dress in Detail Madeleine Byrne Autumn Quarter 2018 Thesis submitted in completion of Honors Senior Capstone requirements for the DePaul University Honors Program Advisor: Deanna Aliosius, Head of Costume Technology, The Theatre School Faculty Reader: Cheryl Bachand, History of Art and Architecture Abstract: This exhibit and supporting written materials were created to explore historic costume in detail through a variety of techniques and contexts. Using a methods and materials based framework, this exhibit examines three objects and their construction. The supporting framework and theory behind this exhibit has been established by identifying the ways that fashion exhibits in museums have evolved over the 20th and 21st centuries, featuring case study examples from the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Chicago History Museum. This exhibit serves as an example of how fashion might be displayed in museums in the future to better serve its visitors. Table of Contents 1. Theory and Framework Paper 2. Exhibition Catalogue 3. Exhibit Text Deconstructing Fashion in Museums: Theory and Framework Fashion in museums is more present than ever, drawing crowds and perhaps even reinvigorating institutions in need of visitorship. However, despite the commercial success of fashion exhibits that center designers and aesthetics, fashion in the museum setting has greater potential to educate than the current model of blockbuster fashion exhibits allows. Clothing construction methods and materials have much to teach us about fashion objects beyond aesthetic appreciation. Museums must ask what the public stands to gain from exhibits of dress and fashion. Exhibits rooted in scholarship and research centering around materials, construction, and design approach have the potential for greater education and impact than those that frame fashion as pure artistic expression.

  • Needle and Sewing
    278 MARGRETHE HALD: ANCIENT DANISH TEXTILES FROM BOGS AND BURIALS CHAPTER IX NEEDLE AND SEWING The earliest needles among Danish finds are those of bone from the Mesolithic Period. A grave in Borrebyl) from the Neolithic Period contained a needle barely 7 em long, and about 1;2 em thick at the middle, which is pierced by an eye. This specimen gives the impression of being a sewing needle. Fig. 281 shows a number of bone and bronze needles all dating to the late Bronze Age2), but although one or two are relatively fine, there seems to be none which would meet the standard of sewing found among our prehistoric material. For example, not one of the needles is suf- ficiently fine to have executed the embroidery at the neck opening of the Skrydstrup poncho. I reached this conclusion after having to use the finest obtainable tapestry needle in order to copy this embroidery. We may therefore assume that already in the early Bronze Age sewing was accomplished with needles finer than the late Bronze Age finds would lead us to suppose. Evidence of sewing needles among Iron Age finds is sparse in Denmark. Needles, both long and short and mostly bronze, with oblong eyes near one end, are known from the Roman Iron Age. They resemble coarse darning needles3), but as they are found in burials in the same position as hairpins and pin ornaments, it cannot be absolutely certain that they were used for sewing. Bone needle cases, five in all, containing one or two needles of iron or bronze, and with an eye, have been recovered from Roman Iron Age sites4).

  • Defining Crochet
    Defining Crochet Cary Karp The Version of Record of this manuscript has been published and is available in Textile History, 11 December 2018, http://tandfonline.com/10.1080/00404969.2018.1491689. This postprint is subject to the copyright restrictions stated there. Textile classification systems differentiate between the looped structures that characterise the present-day crafts of knitting and crochet. Printed sources prior to the early nineteenth century do not make this distinction, labelling fabric of either structure as knitting, thereby obscuring references to what would now be termed crochet. These can be identified in published instructions, nonetheless, with the prescribed use of a single hook being a ready indicator. Although looping does not inherently require tools and some structures can be made with alternative techniques, certain forms of crochet-type looping depend on the design of the hooks used to produce them. The typology of such implements provides a framework for tracing the convergence of the precursors of modern crochet into that craft. INTRODUCTION Irene Emery defines two major types of ‘interlooped’ fabrics in The Primary Structures of Fabrics from 1966. These are knitting and crochet, and are differentiated by the loops in crochet ‘interworking’: … not only vertically with those in the previous row, as in knitting, but laterally as well — with others in the same row … In the simplest stitch — plain crochet — each loop is drawn through two previous loops, the corresponding one in the previous row and the previous one in the same row.1 The most relevant consequence of classifying crochet as a ‘doubly interlooped structure’ is that a single row of chain stitches is not crochet, and can only become so when a second row of stitches is worked into it.
