Howdy, I'm new around here
Hello there, I recently joined the beginner course to learn shuttle tatting. I learned to needle tat some in high school, and have picked it up again and worked on a few projects over the last year. I have really struggled with shuttles, but I like learning new techniques and want to make finer gauge designs. So far I have really enjoyed the class but I have quite a way to go to be proficient. I am very interested in needle crafts, fashion history, and lace making in general. I hope to make jewelry primarily and learn to work with beads as well. I thought I'd share a couple of my needle tatted projects for now.
I also made a tiny human recently, and decorated a onesie for her first Valentine's Day. Portable, calming crafts have helped me survive and rest throughout my pregnancy and these newborn days.
The second picture is a combination of bobbin lace and needle tatting. I was very proud of it because I started with a flimsy piece of beginner bobbin lace I attempted and used the tatting to stabilize it and make it into something wearable. It actually worked!
I have admired Sparrow's patterns for quite a while and really enjoy her teaching style. I can't wait to learn more!
Beautiful work! Welcome to the group!
