After a long search I found this and you can see that they go really well together...
So the sleeves will look something like this! I didn't want it to be a vest and my previous CQ jacket (an others I've seen) look too bulky with CQed sleeves. It was also too warm to comfortably wear with CQed sleeves and I looked like a CQed teddy bear
And in the search I found 2 interesting interest sites for lace yardage... I got the heavy black "allover" cotton lace at Lace Mart. They have an endless amount of lace but their site was difficult to navigate.
At the same time I was looking for a "lightweight" vintage knitted lace which is REALLY difficult to find. But I did find it at Laurel Farm and they had lots of vintage sewing stuff ....some a bargain and some not.... definitely unusual stuff. I did find a reasonable lot of very old laces, mostly knitted.
