Hello! I’m a bobbin lace artist interested in the history of lacemaking. I’m also in love with anything related to growing and spinning flax. I’m hoping to use this platform to exchange with other textile artists ! Are there any lacemakers out there ? #bobbinlace #textiles #fiberart

Please enjoy the collision of two of my obsessions, #Bobbin Lace and #VintageSewingMachines, in the form of this lace-bobbin winder that is meant to clamp on the balance wheel of a sewing machine:

Starting a new freehand binche lace piece. I have no idea how it will evolve or how well I’ll stick to the sketch. #lace #dentelle #bobbinlace #fiberart
