#tatting has been such a great stim the last several days, i just fkn love how the thread feels, and im growing to love how my mistakes are immortalized in it and the metaphor for life that represents

It used to be deeply distressing for me but i think that might have been learned, bc the more i tat, the less distressing the mistakes become, and paradoxically, the fewer i make and the faster i progress ✨

Ive been referring to this #tatting piece as my "doily of mistakes"

Im just letting it be the record of my learning process and passed time that it is

I enjoy very much how the material and process feel, every knot is a new connection, the point is what it is and how it felt to make it, not what the finished product looks like

Made with thrifted cotton thread

I did it! I haven't even posted it to the blog yet- but I designed my first successful piece of Teneriffe lace!
I made one other piece first and it looks goofy as heck, but I learned so much from that which I didn't learn from kits and BAM.
I love lacemaking.

#LolitaFashion peeps coming over from #TikTok ! There's a few of us here on Mastodon. I personally made my account a couple weeks ago, and am OBSESSED with lacemaking and the fashion(I also really enjoy tamagotchi).

I left tiktok a couple years ago, and am working to move away from Meta's products for regular scrolling and am moving over to here. Feel free to connect!

my great grandmother trained as a #lacemaker, she had to go to school till 10th grade/16 years old, to get the credentials in the late 1800's. She was also a #feminist, a #socialist and a founding member of her Trade #Union in the early 1900's.

@finktank Thank you for sharing this. I am going to take a serious look at this.

Any #BobbinLace #lace #tatting #needlelace #Lacemaker types want to consider teaming up as a lace sub #coop?

Dunno what the hell I'm going to do with it lol.

I bought my #schwibbogen before I was a #lacemaker, and of course am now kicking myself. I could have had the #lace pillow one. Someday....

Here is the #BobbinLace one, with the toy maker, and what I presume is a gay couple in the center, via Wikimedia Commons.

GASP: this Naaikussen "#sewing cushion" is divine. And it turns out Grace is a CAD designer and woodworker besides being a #lacemaker. She re-created the historical cushion and provides the plans for other people to follow [link to her PDF there].

They have fabric covers and are padded arc shapes on the outside, but the center is a hinged compartment with little storage cubbies.
