How Do You Make Lace?

Very, very slowly, it turns out.

I’ve never been a big fan of lace myself on garments – mostly because I have sensitive skin and I find it itchy – but I loved this historical overview on types of lace from Broiderie Stitch. Maybe I need to give lacemaking a go? Looks like the Australian Lace Guild have workshops in Sydney…

Note to self: get your glasses/contacts prescription updated first!

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
