Look at those butterflies and flowers on #9! Further on, #s 15 and 16 are bookmarks just waiting to happen, and #28 is the perfect doll's house pillow top.
In addition to beautiful edgings and medallions that range from very simple to very ornate, there are illustrations on how to use them with a variety of clothing and household items. As long as you know that R means ring and Fd means chain, you can probably puzzle out the instructions even if you don't spreche the Deutsch. Free download.
THANK YOU!!!!! Newish Tatting patterns to try!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTatting fascinates me. Such a large shuttle, and such tiny lace.
ReplyDeleteI have an old pattern book which includes a simple to make pattern for a summer nightgown. It could be whipped up in an afternoon - except for the tatted edge around the bodice and along the shoulder straps. How fast can someone tat a yard or so of trim?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful patterns. They're miniature works of art.
Bunnykins - the time needed to tat a yard depends on the size of the thread (higher the number, thinner the thread) and the pattern. You can email me at samcostumes@gmail.com with what you are looking for. The company I work for is closing next week (not Covid19 related) so I'll have time.
