RE: [lace] Wedding lace

The handkerchief as we know it is in fact only around 400 years old. It was said to be the idea of a Venetian lady to cut a square out of pure flax and decorate the edges with lace. From Italy, it soon crossed the Alps to France and the court of Henry II. Handkerchiefs of this period were usually

Re: [lace] Wedding lace

It's lovely.  Hankies used to be much larger than they are today.  It could have been a wedding hanky.  It took a lot of work to make, and should be for a special occasion.  I can believe it to be wedding hanky but I have no proof of it. Alice in Oregon On Sunday, June 23, 2019, 10:22:25

[lace] Flanders example from "Het Lassen"

Hello everyone I have uploaded to Flikr two photos of a Flanders edging I made from "Het Lassen" . They are in the Photostream section also. Although of a circular edging, I hope they compliment Bobbi's diagram - the lace beginning and end were done exactly as she describes. The hand-sewing part

Re: [lace] Wedding lace

Hi Adele, That does sound like an oversize lady’s handkerchief, even today. My ‘antique’ hankies are far smaller, less than half the dimensions including significant amounts of lace. As for the wedding part of it, I was not aware of any such tradition until I emigrated and found local

[lace] Wedding lace

Good morning! I’ve got a question: Does anybody know anything about antique wedding lace? I have a piece of Duchesse lace that is approx. 13 inches (33 cm) square. It is filled with flowers and other motifs that have to do with weddings and fertility. So, I’m pretty sure it was used as part of

[lace] Lassen question

The overlapped section will not fray.  With every millimeter  of the lace threads tightly wrapped, there's no way any of the threads can move.  If a thread gets cut, then it would loosen, but that's an extreme case.  Normal use will not loosen it. The first time you do it, it is a bit scary to

Re: [lace] Lassen question

The stitching is very close and tight, so I think there is no chance of fraying over time, as long as the treatment of the lace is reasonably gentle as it always should be. Kathleen, in a hot and humid Berkshire, UK, expecting thunder any minute! Sent from my iPad > On 23 Jun 2019, at 12:32,

Good morning Karen and everyone else. I've been watching this and have finally decided to jump in. Karen, attached is a photo/diagram. Starting at #1 you make the piece of lace. You finish at #2. (ha ha... can you tell I do a lot of Tonder? footside on the left) You over lap the two ends to

Re: [lace] Lassen question

Interesting to follow the discussion on lassen. What I am still trying to understand, though, is that once the extra piece of lace is cut away, what is there to keep it looking neat over time (i.e. not have a frayed edge)? Karen in Malta - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com
