One trick that I use for classes like this is to use chopsticks cut in half for bobbins. If I have time I have my DH drill holes in the bottom of them and stick safety pins in them to keep the "bobbins" from rolling on the "pillow". I usually use a cheap piece of foam for a pillow <I get unused meat trays from the grocery store and put 2 together on a piece of wood to use for a base> Shere'e Seattle, WA USA

I have been asked to teach a beginner's lace class for some of the ladies at my church. I would like to give them a very simple pattern that could be finished in one session. My problem is the only inexpensive item I can think of to use as a pillow is a roll of toilet paper in a small basket so it doesn't roll. But I cannot find a very simple bookmark pattern. I have a pattern for a broach that I know they could finish in one class, but it is a circle and will not fit on the roll. Does anyone have either a extra simple bookmark pattern they are willing to share, or a suggestion for something that can be used as a cookie pillow. Since these ladies do not now if they would like to continue after the first class, I do not want to ask them to spend money on supplies when I can supply enough for one class.
