Making Custom Bobbin Lace for My Blouse - My Blouse Saga 2

- In this video, I take you through the process of making my own lace for a blouse I'm sewing. I couldn't find lace that matched my doilies, which are the centerpiece of my design, so I decided to try my hand at bobbin lace. After choosing a simpler pattern from the book "101 Torchon Patterns", I wound the bobbins with white cotton crochet thread and started working on the lace.

That blouse is a beautiful creation and something to be proud of.
Thank you so much!
Lovely blouse, it looks so elegant. And the process of making bobbin lace is mesmerizing...
Thank you!
Making the bobbin lace is also so relaxing once one gets the hang of it.
wow, the patience and perseverance it took! the finished project is beautiful
Thank you!
Thank you for doing this video I was feeling I was so' alone , and would have to seek mental help, for my desire to continue what I was I had seen growing up a lady feeling as a lady way, I created lace but I ' d like to copy your pillow I still have to pile saw dust may it continue well with you. Thanks .
Please don't feel bad about pursuing your passion! You are definitely not alone. And I hope making the pillow works out well. The saw dust, should work just fine.
Thank you for commenting and have a great, creative time!
Oooh I've never seen this type of bobbin before :o
I really love the shape that pleat on the sleeves makes, it was a great idea. And those lace strips turned out so neat!
To me, it was the other way around, I had never seen bobbins without a cap before. :D
Thank you! I am really happy how the sleeves turned out, since I wasn't sure if it would work as I had envisioned it.
Such beautiful and tidy work!
I admire your patience!
Thank you so much!
With textiles, I somehow have this patience, not in other areas though... :D
@@ankanyofficial interesting!
Makes sense, tho.
Your work is lovely in them, and finished products can be so satisfying.
My goodness that lacework is so intricate! Well done, it looks amazing! I really like how the lace is sort of subtle on the blouse, and really raises just how ... nice it is?? I don't know how to describe lol
The skirt is really lovely too, did you make it?
Thank you! :)
Yes, I made the skirt, I think last year. If you are interested, here is the video about it: czcams.com/video/vODNLUE2KOQ/video.html
Quel travail ! Magnifique !!
Merci beaucoup!
Your work is beautiful! I'm going to stick to crocheting lace, as trying to figure this out made my eyes cross... 😊
I feel you! I love crocheting lace, but somehow I always want to try something new. 😂
Beautiful work!! For my part, I use either modern Danish or Honiton bobbins for my lacemaking projects -- it was neat to see your process for preparing the hooded bobbins.
I looked those bobbins up, and I assume, they take up much less space than those with hoods. I will keep that in mind if I want to make another lace with even more bobbins.
This is beautiful!
Thank you!
Wow this is really great!! I love seeing how the lace is made!
Thank you!
Wow!! This is just magical and beautiful 🤩
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful---what a talented young lady you are!
Thank you so much!
Practice and perseverance always pays dividends ❤😊
It does indeed! :)
You should be proud of yourself 😊
Thank you!
Interesting
I'd love to get a copy of that book you show at the beginning of the video.
May I ask for the title and author? You do very good work!
Thank you!
Sure the book is ”101 Torchon Patterns” by Robin Lewis-Wild.
I had no idea how lace was made. Wow the work! Looks so confusing!
In the beginning it is definitely confusing, but after some time, I got used to the rhythm. 😊
The blouse and skirt are wonderful! Thank you for sharing details that answered some of my concerns about bobbin lace. Where can I buy the stand and cushions like yours? I found the hooded bobbins.
Thank you! 😊 So glad you loved the blouse and skirt. Happy to hear the details helped.
I’ve never seen bobbins like that. Where are they available at or are they?
These are "Hülsenklöppel", bobbins which are typical for certain regions in Germany where the rolled pillow is used. Here is a link for similar ones: amzn.to/3tLyrlx (this is an affiliate link) I don't know their quality, there might be better ones by small craft shops in Germany, but now you have a reference.
@@ankanyofficial thank you so much. Have an awesome day or night.
This is beautiful🥹🫶
Thank you so much! ☺
Dang it... I'm about to try my hand at lace making. Apparently the algorithm has noticed I've been 'lace curious' for the past year or so - not sure how many times I've watched this video along the way..., lol. My roller/cookie travel pillow should arrive some time next week. I found some vintage Honiton lace bobbins via the ebay. I'm justifying this by any wonky thing I produce will be nicer than itchy polyester?
Your work is so beautiful. The blouse and the lace is astonishing. Well done you. Just out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to produce your lace? And where did you find your pattern?

😂 I think this algorithm is excellent at finding those videos once it knows what one is looking for. I had the same experience last year.
Those bobbins look interesting! Haven't seen them before. Is the lace going to be Honiton lace, too?
I use the same justification for almost all of my projects! 😄
Thank you so much for your kind words. ♥️
I don't know exactly how much time it took me to make the lace, but three months passed between the day I started making the lace and finishing the blouse.
The pattern I used is from the book "101 Torchon Lace Patterns" by Robin Lewis-Wild. It was easier to start with that, than using something from Pinterest.
@@ankanyofficial Three months isn't bad for an entire blouse, especially with one with as many moving parts as this one.
I'm honestly not yet sure what the difference is between Honiton and Torchon lace - I'll probably just bounce between patterns for a while until I learn the stitches. I chose the Honiton ones because they came in a lot of 70 and looked like I could travel with them? That and there's a pair that's been painted so I can keep track of the working pair in a whole stitch... The spangled variety look like something I'd end up tangling at both ends, lol.
Thanks for the book recommendation!
I think Honiton lace has this thicker border as a special design element, while the Torchon lace is more of a plain "simple" design. Torchon lace is apparently also one of the simpler techniques, but this is a scalable thing. I think the most important thing to start is with one proper instruction and then try whatever is fun.
Traveling might be possible with it, one just has to make sure to avoid tangling. That's why it is one of the few crafts that I work only stationary on.
Finding a pillow has been the hard part. I finally found one I liked from a British company - they market a travel pillow with a built-in roller. I like (and kind of need) the ability to put things away when I'm not working on them. Plus I like the romance of the idea of travelling while making lace...
I got a book of the different stiches - which is going to be really useful when I get a pattern to work on. My first piece is going to be a ribbon of whole stitch. @@ankanyofficial
That, I believe on the spot!. I was lucky to get my pillow from my mother, who has a couple in store. So I hadn't to deal with the research what would fit best.
Travelling while making lace sound pretty romantic indeed. :)
That sound like the perfect start!
