Good morning All,
Ann Colliers book 'Colour in Lace' has several ideas for parasol covers
and how to design them, in several different types of lace I seem to
remember. Worth looking at for inspiration if it doesn't put you off. I

Hi,
Yes, handmade lace can be cut, just the same as any machine made lace. It
