Lace

I am learning new techniques at lace making, but I keep making too many mistakes this season. I try hard to make the lace as perfect as possible but I can’t be really proud of any of my products. In the picture is the last lace I made.
Once in a future similar lace will be sewn in the curtains. At least this is my plan. But until then I will have to practice, practice, practice…

That's so beautiful, Pina. Can you recommend a book on lace making for beginners?
Thanks!

Well, there are a few books in Slovenian language how to make Idrija lace but unless you don't have a teacher by your side, this is a hard self-study. I suggest you try some You tube videos how to start making (bobbin) lace. Though, making lace is different from country to country, as is the final product.

Thanks Pina - I'll take a look at You Tube.
