I don't tat very much around clothes, although saying that the surplice I wear when conducting church services is adorned with tatting and gets many comments. This dress, which I made, seemed to shout out for something else, it is patterned but I felt it needed to be enhanced with a few borders of tatting.
So I tatted around the neck and armholes using Mary Konior's Shepherd's Hey, it does seem to work. But my heart is really on the large doily that I am making and really enjoying seeing it grow.

I love the colours! - dress and tatting.I have finished knitting my son's jumper!! - even the sleeves - so all I have to do is sew it up, put on the buttons, and then I can tat again.I will be delivering it to him in person, when I fly down to Canberra in a couple of weeks.They have had snow there - not looking forward to it, but if it's too cold I can just stay tucked up indoors.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen - well done on the jumper sounds as though he will need it - can't believe there is snow! Have a good trip
DeleteThe fabric is beautiful, and I think your tatting is the perfect embellishment!
ReplyDeleteDiane was not too sure about the fabric but it is beginning to grow on me, thanks.
DeleteWow, that trim looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, it took longer than I expected!!!
DeleteThis is lovely and like the fabric too, I think it's fan to wear tatting around🌹😄🌹
ReplyDeleteWell I do think we should promote tatting as often as possible!
DeleteYour tatting really enhances the outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane, it worked which was a bit of a surprise!
DeleteThat looks great!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like it. And you have to take breaks from large projects now and then, so don't feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good on the dress! I'm glad you'll be able to wear some of your tatting. It looks fantastic.
