I sometimes get big ideas. My latest big idea is to tat curtains for my bedroom. I'm not sure if it will really happen, but I started today. I'm going to start out with a square of nine motifs. From there I will work on making it a four by four square, then five by five, and so forth. I think I need 20 squares to go across the window, and I haven't figured out how many I need to go down. I don't want to do too much math in one day!
We'll see how far I get. I may just end up with a large square doily!
I also had some fun with button ornaments today. I'm planning on working on these and Ice Drops for next year's Christmas giving and hopefully a craft fair or two!
Good luck! However far you get, you could add fabric to complete a curtain, though I love the idea of an entirely tatted curtain.
ReplyDeleteMom and I talked about using the tatting as a trim or an insertion, but the idea of a full panel of lace really appeals to me!
DeleteI never finished the curtain I started, but someone who knows more than I do about lace/tatting/large items suggested I sew the finished curtain to .....I think it was tulle....to keep the tatted lace from sagging. Good luck on your curtain. You have a beautiful 'start,' whether it will turn out to be curtain or large square doily.
