Miniature Bobbin Lace

Plot

Delicate and nostalgic, filled with charm and detail, fine lacemaking adds elegance and beauty to anything. Create breathtaking dollhouse interiors in Torchon or Bedfordshire lace! From simple items completed in an evening or two, to complicated heirlooms, here are over 42 projects suitable for sewers with a range of skills. Each marvelous miniature is graded for difficulty, and includes a pricking pattern, diagram, and photograph of the right side of the lace. Plus, a picture at the start of each chapter shows the entire room with the finished projects in place. After a general overview of materials, stitches, and techniques, adorn a doll's hat with a flower, or make a small bag or a parasol. Put a café curtain in the kitchen; edgings on cloths and napkins in the dining room; cushions and a patchwork tablecloth in the parlor; bed linen, a spread, and shawls in the bedroom; and crib hangings and a mat in the nursery.
