Hi all!
I started the year sick with a sore throat but I’m feeling better now. Well the throat was sore but not the hands, so i want to show a couple of projects that I’ve made.
The first project is a tatted jewellery box for Mr J.’s mother as a Yule gift plus birthday gift. It was very time consuming and my first try at starching (thanks to my aunt that taught me how to do it
).
I put a little pink organza bag as lining but I couldn’t give the box empty so i made a little brooch. And yes Mr J.’s mom is addicted to pink!
Meanwhile I’ve finished the headpiece i showed off in this post but it didn’t worked out as i intended so now its a choker necklace
I enjoyed so much making this pattern that i remade it again but this time in bracelet version.
I had this little metal connectors hanging around so i incorporated them into a new earring design. My mom already asked for the red ones
My latest creation its a bracelet based in a motif if found in this book by Tina Frauberger. I had to scale the pattern to work with a bigger thread (I used Lizbeth thread size 10) but I really like the elegance of the design.
Finally, yesterday I had my last skirt sewing class, so expect more updates as soon as I finish hand sewing the hem
See ya!!






How did you do this, it is so nice. Can you have a tutorial? I want to learn this one… I nominated you on the Liebster Award, check it here… http://handymadeheartee.wordpress.com
Hi! This kind of lace its called tatting and you work it with a special needle or shuttle
There are many tutorials in youtube, but i recommend the ones from Karen Cabrera. This link will take you to the list of videos in her blog. Thank you very much for the nomination !!
You are welcome and you deserve it also!
Wow! This is amazing! Never heard of it before, definitely going to have to try it. I love your projects! Now following you
Thanks! Looking forward to see your future tatting projects.
I love your adaptation of Tina Frauberger’s work!
