Penny Wooden Doll (dresses w/tatting)
I was unsure about hand washing these
doll dresses. I have had the Penny Wooden Dolls
for several years.
I bought the dresses at a local doll show -- they are lovely with the tatting. I gave one to my Siste-in-Law, too. Her doll dress had blue tatting --
I went ahead and hand washed & air dry.
They look SO MUCH BETTER.

Woven Petal Flowers ~ A Turkish Tatting Technique
Attempted new technique:
Created a wonky petal, small petal, and chubby petal during on-line zoom class.
I used Lizbeth size 20, Col. 621 (pink) + Col. 683 (lime). Interesting to learn, practice needed!

Joan Brash kit & instructions.
Kit includes custom loom, needle, fiber, + four patterns/instructions.
IMO - you need to have on hand: scissors, tape measure/ruler, scotch tape. I like to have (nearby) pin cushion, needle threader, stiletto, post-it note, & longer needle.
