Tatting: Technique and History Free FREE TATTING: TECHNIQUE AND HISTORY PDF Elgiva Nicholls | 144 pages | 01 Oct 1984 | Dover Publications Inc. | 9780486246123 | English | New York, United States Tatting: Technique and History by Elgiva Nicholls About years ago, fishermen used a large shuttle to weave heavy cord into fishing nets. About years ago sailors knew many different kinds of knots to use on the sailing ships. The Bolin Knot was used for the anchor; it was a slip stitch. All these cords were handed down to weavers who used a finer thread to make lace. The shuttle was smaller to accommodate this Tatting: Technique and History thread and the lace they made was sewn onto satin and velvet. Because the royalty wore beautiful garments with lace, lace Tatting: Technique and History was a thriving business in Europe. Tatting was one of these laces. Children and handmaidens were taught to tat edgings that were quickly bought up by the weavers who would add the tatting edgings onto the garments and charge a large sum of money for the garment. In England, this lace was called knotting. In France it was called frivolet. In America it was called tatting. In in Cork, Ireland the Tatting: Technique and History had developed the art of lace making with crochet, knitting, and tatting. They saw the poor people eating grass so they brought out their beautiful laces, sold them, and gave the money to the poor. Irish immigrants came to America wearing tatting, and Tatting: Technique and History they sold the tatting to make pin money. In the s, a magazine called The Work Basket featured patterns for needlework tatting, crochet, knitting, and quilting. It was popular for ladies to make beautiful lace for themselves and their family. Also they were taught how to make pillows in tatting. I was a young school teacher in GillespieIllinois and was taught to tat by another school teacher. In this village, the people rebuilt the log cabins and stores to resemblethe time that Abe Lincoln lived there. They had crafters come to show their work; I exhibited tatting and smocking. After retiring, we moved to Winter Garden, Florida, where I continue to teach tatting and smocking. I am able to sell what I make to ladies interested in the old arts. Now I lecture to ladies in Florida that do needlework. I sell tatted earrings, necklaces, tatting on handkerchiefs and pillow cases, in frames, on note cards, Easter and Christmas balls, baby booties, bridal veils, and tiaras. I wear a costume of the s and Tatting: Technique and History tatting at fairs and craft shows. Many young girls and ladies do not use a needle in their lives today. The needle was used to make clothing and Tatting: Technique and History rips. I hope Tatting: Technique and History modern day women will learn one of the needle arts of the past. One of my prides is teaching my granddaughter how to tat, sew, knit and crochet. History of Tatting By Donna Kelly. Tatting: Technique & History by Elgiva Nicholls | ABC Tatting Patterns Tatting : Technique and History. Elgiva Nicholls. Tatting is the age-old art of making delicate handmade lace by looping and knotting a single cotton thread held on a small shuttle. Sometimes called "the poor man's lace," it requires very little outlay for materials or tools, yet produces beautiful and decorative effects. Anyone with patience and a little dexterity, can make elegant edgings and insertions for lingerie; collars or edgings for collars; yokes for blouses and nightdresses; short-sleeved cardigans; trimmings for bedclothes, handkerchiefs, and fine linens; and many other attractive items. In this comprehensive and Tatting: Technique and History guide, Tatting: Technique and History noted tatting expert defines and explains the craft including a helpful glossary of tatting termsexplains its history and development, and provides clear, profusely illustrated instructions in the art of tatting. To meet the needs of both beginning and experienced tatters, the author has divided the book into two parts. Part One, for the novice, offers excellent coverage of materials and tools, making the stitch, the continuous thread, patterns, special arrangements of stitches, working with multiple threads, and finishing the work. Throughout, you'll find clear step-by-step instructions supplemented by nearly 60 drawings and photographs. In addition, patterns are progressive in difficulty; mastery Tatting: Technique and History the simple versions will Tatting: Technique and History you to undertake more elaborate projects. Whatever project you select, this superb handbook offers the knowledge, guidance, and inspiration you need to discover the creative satisfaction and lasting rewards of tatting. Tatting: Technique and History - Elgiva Nicholls - Google книги The Short Version Tatting has large Tatting: Technique and History in its history. Patterns were passed on to each new generation by word of mouth. Sometimes new tatters would examine an older piece of Tatting: Technique and History and figure out how to make it. But very few pieces of tatting survived the constant washing over the years. So Tatting: Technique and History have only a few original examples of tatting. Also, in the world of needlework, there are relatively few books on tatting. With so little evidence available, much of the origin of tatting remains a mystery. The Long Version—Tatting: A tight mystery which has yet to be unraveled. To me, the most interesting book on the history of tatting was written by Elgiva Nicholls. In this book Nicholls works with a huge amount of information. She does a superb job of detailing the progression of tatting. Nicholls sees tatting taking on a linear development. Knotting is different from tatting in that it is worked with one thread wound on a shuttle. This shuttle thread is used to make a succession of various types of knots. It is made upon a running thread which forms a core inside the knot. Yet, Nicholls is willing to entertain a couple of other theories regarding the origin of tatting. First, she imagines an Italian seaman on a long journey, perhaps bored, he sees Tatting: Technique and History rope wound in a circle and bound by tatting knots. Since he comes from Italy, he may have had a lace-maker in his family or, at least, he knew a lace-maker. Looking at the tatted rope, he discovers its decorative application. Thus, tatting is born. Next Nicholls speculates that the invention of tatting may have been simultaneous. Perhaps, several seamen, in different ports of the world, saw a tatted rope and realized its possibilities. I think there is one more possibility besides a linear or simultaneous development of tatting. After a long historical run, it is plausible that knotting came to a fork in the road. And some Tatting: Technique and History veered to the right and took knotting toward tatting. Then I read the Dictionary of Needlework. This book was published in So what were people talking about? At this point the origins of tatting get really murky. One thing that obscures our view is the language itself. The English language was not standardized. InSamuel Johnson tried to rectify this by producing a dictionary. The English language, though full of rough approximations, remains our primary tool for research. In Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales. Did knotting come from China? Lady Hoare wrote in her book, The Art of Tattingthat knotted fringes were found on tomb coverings in Egypt. I find it interesting that both Egypt and China were cradles of civilization. But we have another contender to claim the origin of knotting. It is unknown whether Tatting: Technique and History shuttle was used for making nets or tatting, but some Tatting: Technique and History of knot making was going on. Jumping towe find our next literary reference to knotting. We must thrive Whilst thus the Royal Pair dost strive Both to advance your glory. While he by valour conquers France, She manufactures does advance And makes thread fringes for ye! Blessed we! Who when she rides in coach abroad, Is always knotting threads. Delaney only a few lines to refer to her chair covers. Delaney embroidered a set of winter and summer chair covers for her drawing rooms. For summer, she used bright blue linen, decorated with husks and leaves made from white linen. These were sewn down with five types of knotting. One hundred years later, the chair covers were in perfect condition despite repeated washings. Delaney is best known for her nearly 1, botanical collages made from paper. She had an intelligent mind and a Christian heart. She was the favorite of John Wesley who founded Tatting: Technique and History Methodist Church. But she rejected his advances. She felt his ideas for preaching were too radical. She thought deeply. Delaney was a dour Christian. Actually, she enjoyed life—using the creativity the Creator gave her. She did needlework, cut flowers, knotted or tatted. She had an influential circle. She knew Handel since she was a child. In she gave a party for some friends and asked Handel to provide the music. He did, along Tatting: Technique and History a famous singer of the day, Anna Strada del Po. And she corresponded with Jonathan Swift. By this time, tatting has taken on international proportions. How did tatting spread? There are several theories. One way could have been through marriages like Queen Mary. She married into a Dutch royal house and moved to Holland. When ladies of any social standing would go visiting, they would carry Tatting: Technique and History expensive gold or mother-of-pearl shuttles in pretty bags for show. And several ladies were proud to have their picture painted with their shuttle.

  • Bobbin Lace You Need a Pattern Known As a Pricking
    “Dressing” a Lace Pillow © Jean Leader 2014 pricking pin-cushion this edge should be a selvage if possible — the other edges lace in progress should be hemmed. cover cloth between bobbins and lower part of pricking cover cloth ready to cover pillow when not in use The pillow, a square or round piece of polystyrene (preferably high density) about 40 cm (16 in) across and 5 cm (2 in) thick, should be covered with a firmly woven dark cotton material. Avoid synthetic materials as these will attract dust and fluff. Cut a piece of material so that it is about 8-10 cm (3-4 in) wider than the pillow all round. Make a hem (with an opening) round the edge and thread either tape or elastic through it. Fit the cover over the pillow and pull the tape or elastic tight. (If you’re in a hurry just pin the cover in place.) This cover should be removed and washed occasionally. You will also need at least two cover cloths about 40 cm (16 in) square made of the same sort of material as the cover (they should be hemmed so no bits of thread can catch in the lace). One of these is placed over the lower part of the pricking and the bobbins lie on top of it. The other cloth is placed over the whole pillow when it is not in use so that the lace you’re working on stays clean. Making a Pricking In order to make bobbin lace you need a pattern known as a pricking.

Rosemary Shepherd: 1983 to 2003 The following references were used in the documentation. For needle laces: Therese de Dillmont, The Complete Encyclopaedia of Needlework, Running Press reprint, Philadelphia, 1971 For bobbin laces: Bridget M Cook and Geraldine Stott, The Book of Bobbin Lace Stitches, A H & A W Reed, Sydney, 1980 The principal historical reference: Santina Levey, Lace a History, Victoria and Albert Museum and W H Maney, Leeds, 1983 In compiling the glossary reference was also made to Alexandra Stillwell’s Illustrated dictionary of lacemaking, Cassell, London 1996 General lace and lacemaking terms A border, flounce or edging is a length of lace with one shaped edge (headside) and one straight edge (footside). The headside shaping may be as insignificant as a straight or undulating line of picots, or as pronounced as deep ‘van Dyke’ scallops. ‘Border’ is used for laces to 100mm and ‘flounce’ for laces wider than 100 mm and these are the terms used in the documentation of the Powerhouse collection. The term ‘lace edging’ is often used elsewhere instead of border, for very narrow laces. An insertion is usually a length of lace with two straight edges (footsides) which are stitched directly onto the mounting fabric, the fabric then being cut away behind the lace. Ocasionally lace insertions are shaped (for example, square or triangular motifs for use on household linen) in which case they are entirely enclosed by a footside. See also ‘panel’ and ‘engrelure’ A lace panel is usually has finished edges, enclosing a specially designed motif.

  • All About Macramé History of Macramé
    August 2019 Newsletter All about Macramé For August we thought we would ring the changes and dedicate this edition of the newsletter to a fibre art that was popular in the 1970’s and 80’s for making wall hangings and potholders but which has recently made a resurgence in fibre art. Some customers have also found that the weaversbazaar cotton and linen warps are ideally suited to macramé. So we have all been having a go. Dianne Miles, one of the weaversbazaar tutors, has extensive experience in Macramé and has designed a one day course to show how the techniques can be incorporated into Tapestry for stunning effect – more details below. So we would like to show you some of the best work going on and introduce you to some of the cross overs with other textile art. History of Macramé The earliest recorded macramé knots appear in decorative carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Macramé was introduced to Europe via Spain during its conquest by the Moors and the word is believed to derive from a 13th century Arabic weavers term meaning fringe as the knots were used to turn excess yarn into decorative edges to finish hand woven fabrics. Probably introduced to England by Queen Mary in the late 17th century it was also practiced by sailors who made decorative objects (such as hammocks, belts etc.) whilst at sea thereby disseminating it even further afield when they sold their work in port. It was also known as McNamara’s Lace. The Victorians loved macramé for “rich trimming” for clothing and household items with a favourite book being “Sylvia’s Book of Macramé Lace” which is still available today.

  • African Lace
    Introduction Does changing an original material destroy its traditional context? If a material assumes new meaning or significance in a new context, is this inherently an appropriation of the object? What loss does this cause, and is it a positive change, a negative one, or neither? This lexicon revolves around African Lace. Through an analysis of this particular material, I broadly explain, craftsmanship, authenticity and reasons behind an object’s creation, including why and how it is made, from which materials, and how the object translates into a specific environment. Various kinds of objects are created in and relate to specific places and time periods. If situated in an environment in which it did not originate, the meaning of an object changes. In fact, the object is used from a new perspective. Although it is possible to reuse an object as a source of inspiration or research, it cannot be used as it was in its previous context. Thus, it is necessary to rethink the authenticity of an object when it is removed from its past context. History is important and can explain a materials origin, and it therefore warrants further attention. A lack of knowledge results in a loss of authenticity and originality of a historical material. In view of this, I develop this Lexicon to elaborate on the importance of this historical attention. It is interesting to consider how an object can influence a user in relation to emotional or even material value. The extent of this influence is uncertain, but it is a crucial aspect since any situation could diminish the value and the meaning of an object.
