How I Learned to Make Lace
A brief introduction to me and my lace obsession! Where I learned to make bobbin lace, the most important piece of lace I've ever made, and some goals for the future. I made this video for Create Day as part of London Craft Week 2020.

    I just thrifted a Battenburg lace pattern from the 80's and oh boy am I surprised by how little information there is online about this technique.

    The video you made with Mister Rajiv was the final push I needed to start my own attempts at lacemaking. Thank you. I've found some vintage bobbins and my lace roller pillow is on it's way from England. I took up sewing just before lockdown hit - slowly creating my wardrobe from vintage patterns that stretch across the last century. My thinking is any janky thing I'm able to come up with on the pillow will be more interesting than the mass-produced acrylic lace that can be found at the store. Is the guild open to Canadian members or has everything gone back to in-person? - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

    I started te teach masel' bobbin lace fae a kit & books & the internet in late 2020 🤔 I was meant te be continuin' te learn Irish crochet, but I snap't the heid aff ma 0.50mm Clover Japan lace hook mid stitch & it was oot of stock everywhere durin' the lockdoons. So, I thought "let's see whit Torchon Lace is, that name that's describes ma Lolita brand knee high socks?" & after a lot of time on a search engine,,,I found info on bobbin lace making & look't up some second hand books te get 😺 then became awfy determined te make ma own torchon lace. This year, I've come on in leaps & bounds(but caused masel' Crafters Wrist), since gettin' TH-camr J'aime la dentelle's first beginners bobbin lace book. It was brilliant, cause it teaches via less bobbins, an' is awfy visual & very clear patterns & instructions(although only available in Japanese). At present, the Crafters Wrist is startin' te return(so, ma rest time is now crochet time), but I've got 19.5cm done of a 57cm length of lace, te become a garter fir the top of knee high socks.

    Thank you for promoting and educating through this channel. I learned years ago in Puerto Rico where I actually live. Throughout years and decades it has been taught. However, there are less people lacing. It is our interest of continuing to promote it here through a group that is known Internationally and the governor just signed a new law that it takes effect in May 2023 where every year it will be the lace day to celebrate. There will be exhibition, demonstration, lace materials, lace to sell and etc. I was a member of the Boriquen Lacers association but unfortunately it disappeared due to former members passing. Now, we have "Lideres Puertorriquenos de Puerto Rico". Lace is known here as "Encajes de Mundillo".

    I just started learning how to make bobbin lace, since it is a traditional way how to make lace in Malta and Gozo. Only a few people know how to make lace. If you're in Europe, you should definitely visit Malta and Gozo to view their lace. In Maltese it's called "Bizzilla". There's also a book: "Maltese lace, mystery and history".

    Your passion and enthusiasm is received with such happiness as I know all too well the joy lace making brings me. I started my journey several years ago with Torchorn being my first and still one which I am trying to master I’ve also delved into Schneeberger and going on to Milanese. I get such great joy from the sound the bobbins make moving along the way. Your work is beautiful and I appreciate your time given to this great act of making lace

    Just to point out but japanese silk isn't traditional the worms come from China where originally they were larger moth variety from Japan. The Japanese has imported Chinese silk worms but the industry is bust in Japan. Use wild silk from India, it isn't as silky but is an older practice that is being rediscovered. FYI no silkworms are boiled in the making of Indian raw silk.
