For that matter, many lace suppliers carry hankies (usually white cotton) for
attaching lace. I know I've seen them at The Lacemaker and I'm
I have a lovely book called Lace in Miniature by Ann Collier it has not only
the lace for dressing Victorian and Regency dolls but the patterns to make
the outfits also, including underwear. The lace patterns are wonderful and
include fans, lappets, parasols veils and shawls and much more.

Dear Arachnids
Many thanks to all who took the time and trouble to send me suggestions for
using a narrow edging. The church doll has taken my fancy for this particular
chapter and my ideas are running and other ideas are being ear-marked for
other chapters. I have a photo of the Church doll but I

I think this has been mentioned on Arachne before but you can also obtain good
handkerchief material by using the center of men's handkerchiefs and after

Just a reminder as I believe it has been mentioned here before. You can often
find good quality handkerchief material in 'men's' handkerchiefs. They are
usually larger than women's so after finishing your 'lace edging' in a square,
cut down the center of the 'man's handkerchief' to the size neede
I must say I prefer the lace with corners to considering cutting lace, ,
and for my current purposes I will be doing this method, but I have made
some lace yardage to edge things, in the way you describe and it worked
