Do you still have some old rick rack? Then you can download an old book with crochet, tatting and sewing patterns using rick rack braid.
Fortunately I don’t have any, so I’m not led into temptation ;-))

The day before yesterday I told you that I was looking for online pattern generators and then I found also the toga pattern generator.
What an idea! ;-))
In any case I thought that Carnival (Fasching) is really near now and possibly the newspaper dress doesn’t suit you, then such a toga could be an alternative?! ;-))

I’m planning for a certain time to try crocheted Bruges Lace but found it always a little old fashioned – until I saw amongst others the photos.
Oddly enough I don’t find them old fashioned at all ;-)
I then researched a little further and found a most beautiful little cap and a very impressive opera coat.
Well, we will see.
And if it doesn’t work I will make a scarf from ;-))

Well, the scarf yesterday wasn’t bad at all (just as all the scarves before ;-)), but this waving scarf is also special, isn’t it?
On the list with it ;-))

Doesn’t this look most beautiful?
I like the idea to embroider patterns of a Spirograph very much :))
What you can embellish!
And you can embroider by hand or machine, on fabric or paper, single or multi-coloured etc. etc.
Great!

I surfed the internet a little bit and found a website with lots of most beautiful Bolero and Shrug patterns, as well knitted as well crocheted.
But of course you can make other clothes from the single crochet patterns ;-)
I find best on shrugs that they don’t take so long to make as sweaters and the like ;-))
Although I feel the same constriction about shrug-making as for the crocheted Bolero: first I want to lose some (more) weight.
A fine excuse, isn’t it? ;-))
Addendum: it seems that Jessica Tromp put the pattern somewhere else: 60 bolero-crochet-patterns.
You find the photo under bolero 6a and directly to the right the directions on making the bolero.
The instruction for the medaillon seems to be further up on the same site where the yellow bolero is.
This is the direct link, but it doesn’t work for me.
Happy crochet :)

I never sewed much but I think that I could try something new in the new year.
Perhaps I should design my own sewing patterns? ;-))

Recently I presented the crocheted bolero, now a tablecloth (or afghan) made of crocheted squares. Even if the magazin where the instruction comes from seems to be a little oldfashioned I really like the pattern.
Sigh.

I’d never finish such a crochet quilt afghan (that’s just like with the lace cable afghan ;-)), but I find the idea so great to make from two kinds of crochet squares (solid coloured and diagonally bi-coloured) quasi classic quilts.
I wrote an entry before about clothes from crocheted medaillons and about crochet joining (which surely can be useful for making the crochet quilt afghans), and I find that the afghan goes perfectly with them (concerning the technique, not the wearing ;-)).
To tell the truth I also find really great her rules for selling: she says that you can sell items made with her patterns (if you don’t mass produce).
By and large I agree totally with her :)
Nonetheless I find that you always have to read and to respect the terms of use of the respective rights owner!
