I completed this project a couple of years ago but just found this group. I really enjoyed how the created the shading in the wings.

I posted this in another group and she pointed me over here - love everyone’s creations. Y’all are so talented. Had fun making my first doily and am pretty proud with how it turned out.

I should have made the last white rows in treble crochet instead of double. I didn’t want to untie and redo it. What do you think?

I’m searching for a Victorian Angel pattern, my Gammy use to make them, and passed away last year, I want to make some in her memory for family for Christmas. We were unable to find her pattern unfortunately. If anyone has one they are willing to share I would be extremely grateful!

I’ve fallen in love with making projects with lace weight yarn, but I’m having the worst time trying to weave in my ends! I don’t love it normally, but all my tapestry needles are way too big to fit between the stitches. Any recommendations on what you use/what to look for? I tried using embroidery needles, but the ones I have were too small!

Hi there :^)

I have been making quite intricate filet and Irish edgings primarily just to familiarise myself with the techniques, however I'd love to actually start a project that calls for sewing edging to centrepieces and handkerchiefs etc.

Does anyone have any tips on how to do this? I don't have a sewing machine and would rather not financially invest in one right now if possible, and I can't wrap my head around how to approach sewing edges to fabric, or in fact how to begin with a row that is sewed into fabric when necessary.

Thank you!

just started my first filet pattern, im a couple rows in and my work is twirling itself up, do you guys have any tips or suggestions? i'm not sure if this is normal or not, all i've really worked with are projects in the round

I'm interested in making a lace tablecloth for a small table maybe 2'x1', and was wondering if anyone had any good patterns (free or paid) that they would recommend.

Here's my second attempt at filet crochet (still needing to be blocked). I really like the antique patterns and the technique is perfect for calming me down. If only I could find some use for these huge ass pieces.

I can't find a doily pattern that is big enough for the project I'm doing, so I'm hoping to find some patterns that are simple to extend. Patterns where the steps are fairly consistent as the rows progress while still looking nice and lacy would be ideal. Any pattern recs or suggestions are welcome!

Does anyone have any suggestions for some good 1800-1900’s handbag/opera bag patterns? I have such a hankering for a good pattern to sink my teeth into.

My family has had this frame for several generations. Production of these bubble glass tiger frames with the black inner trim is estimated circa 1880's. Pattern is called "Doily #47" from Polina Papushoi on Ravelry. She's an amazing designer, I've made several of her pieces!
