An excerpt from another Victorian source regarding the art of lacemaking:
''On the charm of Lace it is scarcely necessary to dwell; it is prized by every woman and is the only ornament that is always suitable and becoming from infancy to old age, whilst in its unobrusive elegance it lends a beauty and dignity to the wearer which raiser her at once above the ordinary.. .''

You just have to hunt a little bit! :) Or, you can obtain the contemporary materials at your nearest fabric or craft store...
The ladies of earlier times put their hands to such marvelous work and now you can too! These are beautiful items and sure to delight you and yours! These instructions are very clear and easy to follow and yet the experience fiber art and thread worker will be capable of altering as per individual needs and artistic whim.
