Tiny Tatting


These tiny miniature doilies measure about 1.25 inches in diameter. They were made as part of my Christmas present to a couple of my very dear friends. The thread I used is 100 weight - that's half the thickness of normal sewing thread. The pattern is called "Spring Blossom" and comes from a little booklet I bought from Jon Yusoff - she makes some lovely designs. The booklet is called "Tatted Snowflakes Collection". If you would like to see more of her work, here is the link to her blog.

JON'S THREAD ESCAPADES

Jon is away on holiday in the UK at present, but when she returns she will be putting all the information about her patterns back on her blog.

Here is another of her designs called "Sweet Rose" which I made earlier. The first photo shows it as originally designed, made with 50wt sewing thread. I added a few extra picots to the second one, which is made with 100wt sewing thread.
