Sewing was quiet this week - just William, Catalina, Caterine, Katherina, and William.
(Yep, that's five people and two names, not counting regional variations. Terribly medieval.)
Katherina's discovery for the day was that, while bobbin-lace is much easier with proper tools - carved bobbins, a lace-pillow, etc - it can be done without them. A tailor's ham wrapped in a bit of shiny fake satin worked well enough as a pillow; and paddle-pop sticks make imperfect-but-useable bobbins.
The resulting lace is anything but expert, but it was enough to allow me to experiment with the technique before investing a lot of time and money into acquiring tools.
