Bridal hanky lace in progress. I had to refill the shuttle last night. I don't know why it is that I have to keep referring to the diagram. You would think I'd have it memorized by now but the picot count on each petal of each segment is different and I have to keep referring back. I don't want to make a mistake on this one. It's special. The bride wanted her "blue" in the hanky and I will thread a blue ribbon through the lace when it is done and attached to the hanky.

Inspiration

Collar/Shawl from 163.com

I really love this concept. I would not use this exact pattern but I love the way it drapes. It would work well on just about any kind of neckline, I think. The website only featured the photo. I don't know where the pattern originates from. The photo doesn't enlarge so I couldn't tell if it buttons onto the dress or if an attachment is included in the design.

And that reminds me...I haven't seen any tatted buttons for a long time. Another idea to put in the "someday" file.
