My first lace pillow was a 60cm straw-stuffed Belgian cookie pillow. It was *far* more pillow than I needed and in the years since I have only rarely used much of its surface.
I had never done bobbin lace, never seen it done in person, but dearly wanted to try it. So I contacted an online dealer (now out of business) and naively asked them to put together what I needed to get started. Huge pillow, dozens of bobbins, threads, a book. It cost me a small fortune. They made a lot of money off this naive beginner. Even so, all turned out well. That's not how I would recommend kitting out a newbie, but none of it's gone to waste!
