It's a pity there isn't a picture of the 50 hour blouse (or I can't find one)

Has anyone got any good suggestions to fill one and a quarter hours
for total beginners and them to produce something at the end of it?
Usually I reckon a first session is taken up entirely with

Dear all, especially the guiding lacemakers,
The first time I saw lace was here in Brisbane at the Centenary (I think)
celebrations of the Anglican Cathederal in 1981/2 or thereabouts. At that
