This single-shuttle motif is part of a small doily I’m working on from Priscilla Tatting #1. Â I actually really like the way it looks on it’s own. Â Which is good, because the next section (where it all gets put together) is proving rather hard to make work. Â Why is it hard to make work? Â Well, because once again, it seems like the written instructions don’t match with the pictures. Â These 4 motifs were done based on the written instructions, but when you look at the pictures you can clearly see that there are more picots on the outer rings. Â So I’m going to have to spend a bit of quiet time studying the pictures in the original book and seeing if there’s anything else different. Â There’s definitely going to be some modifications made. Â I’ll post some pictures when I actually get something that starts to work. Â Here’s what it’s ultimately supposed to look like:
I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do about the center. Â It could be a small enough piece that I’ll actually do the sewing and try to put fabric in the middle. Â There are lots of pieces in the Priscilla book that have that and it’s something I’ve never done before so I could use the experience.
