Free tutorial tatting earrings Nancy, or a continuation of my gratitude jewelry collection.

Hello everyone! I named these earrings after my dear friend, amazingly touching lady with a big heart. She lives in a nature reserve and cares deeply about animals and pets. I greatly appreciate our friendship and correspondence. Thank you for your support, sympathy, help and prayers, my dear Nancy!

I wrote a detailed list of the necessary materials and tools at the beginning of the video lesson. I used my favorite light purple color, of course! But you can take threads and beads of any color you like!

To perfectly connect the rows, I used an embroidery needle. You can watch a short video of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PzSGJ5vIBEY But you can make the Catherine Wheel Join, or another connection convenient for you. I just chose the fastest and easiest!

I also used a pearl knot to create a sharp angle at the top of the earrings. Video available, please: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z4e9CiW4uY&list=UULF3dn4_9pp7tIKA2k564wLBQ&index=54

Tatting pattern doily Peony.

🌸 This beautiful tatting pattern allows you to create a delicate and romantic round doily inspired by the gentle petals of a blooming peony 🌺.
It’s a digital file that includes written instructions in English, a graphic diagram, clear photo, and a video tutorial to guide you through the most intricate part of the design.

So, you will need Adobe Acrobat or any other PDF reader to access the file. The PDF consists of 9 pages and is about 4.748 MB in size.
📽️ You can watch a helpful video tutorial for the most complex element on my YouTube channel. Don’t forget to subscribe to stay updated!
👉 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kt84E3z2QP4

🎯 Who is Tatting pattern doily Peony for and Why?

At first glance, this doily may seem simple. However, it’s full of clever and elegant details that will surprise and delight any tatter! ✨
In particular, you’ll explore twisted picots, floating rings, and a creative way of connecting rows using long decorative picots.
These techniques not only add texture and depth to the piece but also make the process engaging and rewarding.

So, if you’re looking for a project that’s both meditative and technically satisfying — this one’s for you! 🌿

💎 What Makes This Pattern Special?

This pattern offers two levels of difficulty, giving you flexibility depending on your skills and preferences:

🔹 Advanced Level — Master the entire set of techniques: Ring, Floating Ring, Chain, Split Ring, Split Chain, Twisted Picot, Join Picot. The best part? You won’t need to cut threads between rows!
🔹 Intermediate Level — Focus on essential techniques like Ring, Floating Ring, Chain, Twisted Picot, and Join Picot. After each row, you’ll need to cut and hide threads — a small trade-off for a slightly simpler path.

This approach allows you to grow your skills or stick with what’s familiar. Either way, you’ll end up with a gorgeous result! 🌟

🧶 Materials, Tools & Finished Size

I used rich red #10 mercerized cotton thread, but feel free to choose your favorite color — the pattern looks beautiful in any hue! 🎨
With this thread, the finished doily will be approximately 9 inches (23 cm) in diameter.

You can work this pattern using two tatting shuttles, as originally intended.

Vintage buttons

How to Use Vintage Buttons in Lace

Vintage buttons. Tips for beginner tatters. Part 4 , or how to add a beautiful button to a tatting pattern. Part 3 of my articles for beginning tatters can be read here: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/tips-for-needle-tatters/

Hello everyone! I’ve recently been organizing my craft supplies. Ah, I have to do this from time to time! To you too? And among the three kilograms of buttons, I found several pieces that interested me.

vintage button

Often I have seen round buttons added to tatting patterns. I made such a heart (this was 12 years ago).

But these are rectangular buttons. Can they be used? Why not?

As usual, I didn’t stop at shuttles only. After all, for those who tat with a needle, it is also interesting to make a small brooches with a vintage buttons. Do you agree?
The pattern is very simple. Because the main thing in this pattern is the rectangular button!

Use a crochet hook when making connections. Choose a hook that will fit easily into the button hole.

I decided it wasn’t worth doing graphic design. Therefore, I simply put numbers indicating the number of double stitches directly on the photo. You can take a screenshot or download a PDF file from the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Oct1mUyQuwGVzr2P08M3uobKR098UNH/view?usp=sharing

Tatting with button
Tatting with button

Educational video on my YouTube channel. Please take a look and come back! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldSiIp_3CeA&list=UULF3dn4_9pp7tIKA2k564wLBQ

Some useful tips for tat with vintage buttons

Of course, if the buttons are dirty, they need to be washed and dried.

As you work, try to tighten the loops inside the button tightly. Otherwise, the button will not be firmly secured in the middle of the pattern. But we don’t want the buttons to “dangle or float” in space!

Another important point. Try to ensure that the threads on the button lie parallel and do not twist with each other. This will make your work look neater.

When watching a video please note that I respect the front and back sides when weaving. It seems to me that in this case the picots look more beautiful.

The two motifs are made with the same threads and the same pattern. But with the shuttle and needle ready, the motif turns out to be of different sizes.

Please don’t forget to subscribe to my blog, comment and share on social media. Your help and support is very important to me.
I will also be grateful for any charitable contribution to my Paypal: fish20085@gmail.com

Mission impossible

Hearts from used men's ties in patchwork technique recycled

Mission impossible, or the suffering of a perfectionist.

Hello everyone!  Today I want to tell you how I created a small heart with great love. Because for painstaking work, you really need to love your craft, the people for whom you create your products and nature, if we want to save our Earth.

So, I once again decided to “recycle” at least part of my supplies. Because I realized that my craft supplies are filling up faster than I’m using them. I’m sure many craftswomen will understand me! Now it’s the turn of old men’s ties. Oh, I have a collection of about 50 pieces! And I decided to sew small hearts. I counted four reasons to do this. Firstly, it will free up space in my workshop. Secondly, I will give a second life to things (recycling helps us conserve natural resources). Thirdly, no one will wear these ties because they are out of fashion. And fourthly, it’s just beautiful! Oh yes, there is a fifth reason. I don’t like doing the same thing over and over again. So I decided to turn on my imagination 200%! After all, I can change color combinations, finishing stitches, and patchwork patterns as I please.

And then I realized how difficult it is to work with thin small pieces of silk. The edges of the patches literally form a fringe. The fabric “flows” between the fingers. The texture of each tie differs in the interweaving of fibers and density. In other words, “mission impossible”? It looks terrible. Calm down, don’t panic! By the way, I watched all 5 films with Tom Cruise and came to the right conclusions, LOL

Through trial and error, I found an algorithm of actions that led to an almost ideal result.

FIRST STEP

impossible task

Open and iron ties.

SECOND STEP

This is the most pleasant and at the same time the most crucial moment. You need to select the necessary components. Three ties and a piece of matching felt, polyester thread for embroidery, cotton thread for sewing and thread No. 10 for knitting. If all this does not combine well, the result will not please us.

THIRD STEP


Embroider words on felt. I liked “From Ukraine with Love”. It sounds beautiful and conveys my feelings.

FOURTH STEP

Cut the ties into strips and assemble the patterns.

FIFTH STEP

Sew all seams. I used a special clear sewing foot to ensure that the seams ran parallel to the pattern on the pieces of fabric. By the way, in order not to “sew on my fingers,” I use a wonderful tool – a thimble (I don’t know what it’s called correctly). Very convenient and safe!

SIXTH STEP

For the hearts, I made a transparent template from plastic. I cut out the hearts and felt according to the shape of the template with an allowance of about 1 cm on all sides. I glued an embroidery stabilizer to the reverse side of the silk piece with an iron. Alas, it later turned out that this was not enough! So I first applied double sided fabric tape around the edges and then added embroidery stabilizer.

SEVENTH STEP

the mission is possible with the right tools

Now you need to make finishing seams at all joints. It’s so good that my wonderful Bernina performs 1131 decorative stitches! But at the same time it makes it difficult to choose, haha! By the way, I used a special foot to help me stitch exactly into the seam.

EIGHTH STEP

Now you can finally connect the silk piece with the felt lining.

NINTH STEP

mission assistance

This stage consists of several operations. First you need to trim off the excess fabric and felt very close to the stitching. Then sew a medium-density overcast stitch along the edges. If the result is not very good (and I am almost always unhappy!), use a lighter to burn the edge. Here you need to act very carefully so as not to spoil the main fabric and threads. I also had to make sure that my assistant didn’t burn his paws with a hot lighter!

TENTH STEP

Sew an overlock stitch along the edge one more time. But this time the seam must be very tight to get a perfect edge.

ELEVENTH STEP

All that remains is to crochet the cord, tie a bow and sew it to the heart. Of course, you could just take a satin ribbon. But I think a handmade knitted bow gives the composition a special “cuties”!

I liked the first result so much that I decided to make several options. I’m sure no one will say that this “mission impossible”! I hope you like my idea. Ready-made hearts are available in my store: https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/product/from-ukraine-with-love/

Mission impossible
Mission impossible

From Ukraine with love

From Ukraine with love

From Ukraine with love. A set of three hearts using the crazy quilt technique made from silk men’s ties.

These cute hearts are a wonderful souvenir not only for Valentine’s Day. After all, we love our family and friends more than one day a year! Give a small heart to your loved ones and say kind words to them. Trust me, it will make their day! Also, such hearts can become a memorable souvenir for guests at a wedding. Moreover, there are discounts for large orders.

I made this set hearts of silk men’s ties using the patchwork technique, putting my imagination and a piece of my heart into every seam. And I assure you, each cute heart is made in a single version, exact repetition is impossible.

You can choose any combination of colors, it doesn’t have to be yellow and blue. Because if we talk about love, then we choose what we like, right? The photo shows samples of several color options. But you can come up with your own, I have enough ties in stock! Just let me know.

I also wrote an article on my blog about how I create these hearts. I hope you find it interesting. https://fairylace.kozinenko.com/mission-impossible/

Size

Size about 4 X 4 in ( 10 X 10 cm )/

Materials and tools

I create this item from silk ties, double layer of embroidery stabilizer, felt for the reverse side, cotton threads for crocheting a bow.
