New Item

Robin on the Orange Roses – our new cross stitch pattern, created as a custom order. Some weeks ago, our customer asked if we could create a pattern for her. It was supposed to be a robin on an orange roses. She needs this pattern to cross-stitch a gift to her friend in memory of her mother. And these two symbols – a robin and an orange rose – are essential to her. So we have this new pattern with a 15%sale in StittchersLand: https://stitchersland.etsy.com/listing/1669868410

Process

In my third LaceCrochetFinds shop, I sell lace collars crocheted in the Victorian lace style. I recently received an order, which I’m going to take a long time to make because it is something new. The order has a story. My potential customer wants me to make her a high neck collar like the one I have in the shop, but she also needs cuffs to go with it. She sent me a photo of the blouse she wants to sew these cuffs on. I was shocked because it is an Irish crochet blouse, and judging by its look and style, it is vintage. I can’t ruin a thing like that. So I changed the crochet hook to a thinner one; trying to crochet something the same style. I’m curious to see what I can do with it. Now my experiment looks like this.
