Progress

Apparently, I was doing the stitches wrong. Go figure. Shortly after the red circle, I completed a lovely dark grey circle with uniform stitches and everything... it is currently MIA, though I think my vacuum of a pug, or my pickpocket of a siamese might've had something to do with the M part.

Anywho, I decided to move on to what originally got my attention about lace. My mom told me that she saw it being made once, where they were actually sewing it onto the fabric and I thought hmm... there's probably some info about how to do that on the internet.

There isn't. At least none that I could find--but after a couple of forum hits, I decided to wing it and just pick up some of whatever material I was using during the buttonholing of the outline. So, I went to my local Chedraui (Mexican grocery store) and picked up some cheap organza, and I came up with this:

Here's the back:

Five bucks I did it wrong, but hey, at least I tried =D

Next Try

Shortly after my stumble with the rectangle, I decided to try something smaller and differently shaped:

  And so, I give you... totally-screwed-up-stitch circle.

Baby Steps

Right before the famous pink eye episode, fearing for the integrity of my eyes, I decided that it would be a marvelous idea to make lace on a... larger scale. Therefore, I give you the first piece of "lace" that I ever actually sort of made.

It's supposed to be a rectangle... apparently those don't work very well.

Hi again

So... bear with me, dear non-existent reader. I soon hope to have some pictures of the stitches I've learned and how to do them, along with some of my projects. Though, between school and school and well, school, it might take a bit.

And then there's the fact that I can't exactly find the USB cable for my camera... hmm.

Hi

So far, this is a tester blog. I'm trying to figure out if this is the right type of thing for me. Hope it works... haha.
