Princess who likes doing embroidery

She likes it too much

She stayed up all night finishing the embroidery of her gown and then spent the entire ball talking about the techniques she used and how long it took her

She slapped the visiting Prince's hand when he touched her shoulder because "that took me hours and I don't know where your hands have been!"

One of her maids introduced her to weaving and now she's skipping her lessons on statecraft to dye her own wool

She asked for a flock of sheep of her own for her birthday

Her quarters look like a textile goods shop

She hired a new maid to teach her lacemaking

She is the happiest she's ever been and her parents just want to her pay attention in her diplomacy lessons

(she is but she's always doing some kind of fibre craft at the same time and it annoys her tutor)

ETA: Everyone tagging this Sandry from the Circle of Magic books by Tamora Pierce thank you, I am now aware that the books exist, I was unaware of them before. Now; please for the love of god stop fucking tagging it

Also we can do with more fiber arts princesses. I just want more respect for fiber arts in general

PSA for all the people who have a pet Fibre Artist, whether you have a Knitter, a Crocheter or perhaps one of the more rare breeds like Spinners and Lace-Makers, make sure that they take frequent breaks from their craft by playing with them and taking them on walks since Fibre Artists are prone to giving themselves RSIs and Carpal Tunnel when left to their own devices for too long!

Finally finished the first front of my bobbin lace vest! Here’s hoping the other pieces will match up…

So, here's an update on the crochet skirt I'm working on.

It's almost mid-calf length. I want this skirt to be long so I'm almost done but not quite. If you were to ask me when I started and how long it took? I genuinely don't remember. It's not perfect, I got confused up at the top (I can't read crochet patterns very well, but I can figure out what they mean by looking at images) but I think that works in its favor.

Here was a picture I took from the last time I updated it.

I had this darker pink yarn around and I used it, and I was planning to use dye remover and diluted bleach to lighten the pink. I accidentally removed damn near all the pink, which caused me to go to Michaels, buy more dye and correct it. And it came out to a gorgeous gradient, so I'm excited.

I don't know how long I've been working on this (I can't remember when I started) but I make a point to put in stitches every day. My goal is to have it done by the summer.

It's very hard, very intricate but worth it. I've been crocheting since I was nine years old (almost 30 years!) so while it's pretty hard, the stitches are pretty basic, lots of chain and double crochet stitch (half treble if you're in the UK).

Forcing myself to finish some of my UFOs. Here's the finished products from a lace making class I took 2 years ago! 🫣 I hope you don't see the glaring errors!

I finally finished the second piece of torchon ground with scalloped headsides for the cuffs of my 18th c shift! It turned out a lot better than the first, but even the first piece looks nice enough now that it's actually on a garment. I just basted the lace on with a running stitch so it'll be easy to remove for laundering.

If I want to do more historic work, I need to save up somehow for some books on it. There's more online all the time about making bobbin lace, but as far as I can tell disappointingly little about the history of it available on the internet that goes into the kind of depth and specifics that I need. Even digitized museum archives have virtually no information about their lace collections.

Time for another lace style...

We will eventually get around to learning all of these, which one do you want to learn first?

Also we have many more styles planned, these are just the styles we have good tutorial resources for so far.

These styles all require some specialty tools/supplies, which I've listed below the cut in case that's a deciding factor for people. Pretty much everything can be DIY'd or repurposed from some other common objects, and this information will be shared as part of the lace-along :)

Bobbin lace:

Thread (e.g. sewing thread, embroidery floss) (edit by mod Rex: crochet cotton or perle cotton preferable for beginners)

Bobbins (24 for the sampler we will do)

Bobbin lace pillow

Pattern printed or drawn out

Pins with small heads (a whole lot of em)

(edit by Mod comfy: I dipped my toes in this already, you can use clothespins as bobbins (basically everything that holds some thread and can be moved around comfortably), and some sturdy cardboard as a pillow. Your "pillow" just needs to be sturdy enough to keep the pins in place for the time you work on the lace, so if you have a couch pillow that could work, go for it)

Drawn thread lace:

Plain-woven linen or cotton fabric, with large enough threads you can comfortably see individual threads at a comfortable working distance

Sewing thread in the same colour as your fabric

Fine blunt-tipped needle

Fine tipped scissors or seam ripper and a steady hand

Lacis/ filet lace

Sturdy thread/ twine/ crochet cotton

Netting shuttle/ netting needle

Netting gauge/ mesh stick (e.g. dowel, knitting needle, smooth popsicle stick or similar)

Blunt tapestry needle

Some method of tensioning the net for embroidery: mesh frame/ embroidery hoop/ stiff paper to tack net down to

Needle lace:

Paper pattern printed or drawn out

Backing fabric (e.g. sturdy medium weight calico) (will not be part of finished piece)

Sticky backed plastic/ clear packing tape

Lace thread (e.g. crochet cotton, perlee, stranded cotton, silk thread)

Regular sewing thread in a contrasting colour for tacking down pattern (will not be part of the finished piece)

Sharp needle to tack down pattern

Blunt needle to make lace

Tweezers

Fine tipped scissors

Thimble (optional)

Sprang:

Sprang frame (e.g. empty backless picture frame, DIY frame made of sticks, two dowels tied to sturdy objects an appropriate distance apart)

Sturdy cord or crochet cotton

Smooth dowels/rods, 4-6 of them?
