I am very new at this, but I am making Torchon fan lace inserts (5 of them 5"-7" long,
1", 1-1/4" & 2" wide) to go in the front of a peasant blouse to be made from cotton
Calico-print fabric. I know, perish the thought, but I will probably cheat on this
first blouse and use a very small, non-offensive purchased lace edging for the actual
neck edge (too much yardage for me at this point), but I am planning on a Torchon
pattern with fans & spiders, about 2-3/4" wide for the sleeve edges (about 27" wide
each). I am working in offwhite Brockens 35/3 linen with Danish bobbins on a bolster
pillow (about 6" diameter by 15" long). At this point, I have done a practice piece
to learn stitches, a bookmark to learn how to do the spiders, and about three 1"
pieces to get the hang of the fans for the inserts.
