    I NEVER thought that I would end up watching videos about lace... it looked really complicated to make and I wondered how people used to make it by hand before machines. Quarantine is a crazy time, I’ve been wondering random stuff like this

    never in my life have I been interested in lace or lace making but I just saw an old clip on Facebook of an elderly lady at the lace museum and I was intrigued.
    you explain everything so well, I could listen to you talk all evening 😂

    My late grandmother really enjoyed doing this and we still have a lot of her bobbins, patterns and even some pillows. As a child I never had the patience, but I think I start with this kind of lace making now.

    Perfect art/craft to showcase. You are adding a critical topic. These skills deserve to remain in our collective repertoire. Bonus, it’s also adding the authenticity of historical (historical-inspired) garments.

    • @BryceHistorically

      L. Baughman Thank you. And, yes, I couldn’t agree more. I really don’t understand how such an incredibly beautiful art form has become so “lost.” But, I’m looking forward to sharing what I know about lace making, sewing, etc. to demonstrate that these beautiful old skills are still alive and are very accessible. 😊

    I do not make lace but I have a neighbor who quilts and a daughter in FIT and I just respect the amount of time and patience and skill that goes into everything I woke up in the middle of the night and looked up lace making and have been drawn into it like a magnet. This video was so relaxing and informative. Your voice and your knowledge are equally impressive to me. Loved this so much. I will be watching more. Thank you.

    i've been using a tiny foam pad and carved pencils to make bobbin lace, as a really cheap way to start and its very portable, but now i think i'll have to make one of those wonderful pillows!

    • @BryceHistorically
      @BryceHistorically  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yay! You made you own! I love inventive solutions. 😊 If you do make a more “real” pillow, I think you’ll find that, although your motions won’t change much, your appreciation and joy from it will grow. My favorite part of making a new pillow is picking out the fabric that I’m going to be seeing and enjoying while making lace. Have fun! (If you think of it, and if you’re an instagram user, I’d love to see a picture of your setup, as well as your new pillow, if you make one!)

      I'm using a cardboard envelope from a book delivery, filled with a sheet of something synthetic that was around my laptop when I bought it. I think starting out with what you have at hand is a great way of trying out if it's "for you".
      (And I'm using clothes pegs, and they work just fine for now... Real bobbins are so much prettier, though...)

    What a lovely video! You present clearly and you're a joy to listen to. The bits with the little person are charming. I collect old white-on white embroidery, and white or off white thread laces; and I often think of the one who crafted them: what was she thinking about as she worked? What news of the time was she mulling over? I keep and display these things to remember and honor those creators who fit beauty into their busy lives.

    I have just started the process of making a folk dress for myself, and it turns out in Sweden we were also making bobbin lace! I have been trying to buy some, but having looked into it I think in the long term I will definitely try making my own!
    I look forward to more beginner tutorials. (I saw the beginner stitches one) Your voice is great and your instruction is clear and concise, which is not always the case just because someone is good at the craft

    I love your channel, I tried starting with tatting lace and wanting to try bobbin lace a couple of years ago, quit about a year ago because I just couldn't find an explanation which really clicked (or videos that didn't give me the idea I was too slow learning). Your channel gives such calm and calming explanations and I love the historical touches everywhere

  • @AnneAndersonFoxiepaws

    Are your family from Scotland? It's just that you look so familiar in a back home in Scotland way. I am sure I know someone who looks exactly like you but it keeps evading me!
    Oh no this description of how to make pillows is really enjoyable. I can see my next big thing coming on the horizon listening to you and seeing how much in love with the subject you Are! Even if I just do your improvised thing to start with it means I am learning something and it's always more enjoyable when you have something to show for it. Thank goodness I am into miniatures because I may well be able to make a couple of pretty items fairly quickly but it's the work you put in that's the most enjoyable bit so it doesn't really matter.

    • @BryceHistorically
      @BryceHistorically  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, yes, I’ve seen lots of bobbin lace things for doll houses. Something small is a great way to start. 😊 Are we Scottish? Kind of, but a little removed. My dad’s side of the family has been in mostly Tennessee from the 1600-1700s, and many were Scottish, but that was obviously a very long time ago. My mother’s side is much newer here from Norway (although I suppose the Scottish people and Norwegians are fairly related). Copper-red hair runs pretty strong in our family, so I suppose we’re not that far removed. Are you in/from Scotland?

    You are absolutely amazing at explaining and I love that you start with a historical view. As a non-American I'm prejudiced to think a minority is knowledgeable in history in US, which is really frightening, so I'm pleased to see an intelligent and well read-up woman to tell me about bobbin-lace in a thorough and interesting way. I was in my teenage years when making a bobbin lace at school and I'm curious if I want to spend the time and energy on revisiting this craft. You made it more interesting. Thank you!
    (Realising that I sound like a real prick when voicing my prejudices - the present president of US does not help and I have an outsiders view - Sorry!)

  • @299meena
    @299meena 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is incredible, this may be a dumb question but what makes the lace stay? The stitches don't appear to contain knots of any kind so how does twisting then around the pins create a permanent fixture? 🤔 So confused lol

    • @BryceHistorically
      @BryceHistorically  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Magic! 😊 I guess the answer would be friction? Kind of like why fabric doesn’t just fall apart if you cut it. As long as you don’t mash it around too terrible much, the threads all pretty much stay interlaced with each other. Bobbin lace and weaving are very, very similar.

  • @ragnkja

I had a bunch but someone stole my things and threw my bobbins away...I have lost all my things because of people stealing from me.

    Hi Bryce! What kind of pillow would someone make a shawl or veil with? I’m in the “research” phase and a goal of mine would be to gift my mother with either one day.

    • @BryceHistorically
      @BryceHistorically  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi! As far as I know (I’ve never made one myself) large pieces like shawls and tablecloths are usually made piecemeal. The edging or strips are made on a bolster pillow or a roller pillow and then segments are made on a bolster pillow or a cookie pillow. Then, all of the pieces are either sewn together or the space between them filled in with a ground. 😊 If the shawl that you would like to make is maybe more like a scarf in size, you could get a wide bolster pillow or roller pillow and make it all at the same time.

    Do you recommend belgian bobbins or spangled bobbins to begin with?

    • @BryceHistorically
      @BryceHistorically  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Completely up to you. I prefer the Belgian style, because I think they’re easier to pick up between my fingers. But, the spangled bobbins don’t roll around on your pillow. I have both (although I don’t use them together on the same project). So, I’d say get whichever appeals to you the most. Having a set-up that you find beautiful and inviting is important. It will keep you coming back to it, and when you get frustrated with missed stitches, or awkward tension, take a step back and enjoy the beautiful bobbins, the lovely fabric on your pillow and dust cover, and you’ll be more relaxed and more likely to carry on. 😊

      Oh, no. Finished lace was absolutely covered by sumptuary laws prohibiting importation and exportation of lace from other countries. The whole topic of national identity through lace styles, patterns, and technique is a fascinating rabbit hole to fall down. 😊

    • @BryceHistorically
      @BryceHistorically  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’ll be making videos on it soon. (I have a tatting one to get out first.) You need to know your stitches and transitions, and then just do a whole lot of practice. I think the hardest part is wrapping your mind around where all your threads are, and where they need to go to get a balanced, and attractive result. I remember many years ago when I tried my first self-made pattern, it looked great ... until I took the pins out and it completely fell apart. But now, it’s easy!

    I believe it's also called tatting.

      Actually, no. Tatting is a very different type of lace made by knotting one string onto itself with a shuttle. It’s also very pretty and a lot of fun to make. 😊

    I saw the movie about Queen Victoria. I saw the movie About Queen Victoria she gave her maid two lace collars
    It was worth money there was a lot of talk about the collors.
