It's lovely to see you do this drawn work. I have old examples of this work from the early 1900's from women who lived in the hot southern states in the US. This was how rural, not wealthy, people adorned their clothes. I have not see it done before. Thank you!
Thank you for your comment! I can see how poorer people could have used this as it only needs some thread and you’ll get a lace-like effect without the cost of lace. My mom said they learned how to do this at school in the 60s.
Thanks! I wish I had had room for more. It really seems that aprons had much to do with women’s sexuality and the propriety. I’ll add one extra for you: If a godmother of a child was pregnant during the babtism, she (the godmother) had to wear two aprons. Otherwise the baby grew up to be promiscuous or otherwise defective.
I bought some verrry expensive handkerchief linen from Lacis. My husband was watching my work and asked me why I spent so much mony on material if I was just going to pull it all apart.
✔👉I stumbled across this when I was learning about drawn & pulled thread embroidery. For me, withdrawing threads was easier and I could do it with much more accuracy, especially in finer fabric like batiste and handkerchief linen, if I used a sewing machine needle. It has an extremely sharp and fine point and it's much easier to hold on to when you pull like the very first threads, when everything wants to stick together. I've even used it when you have to weave in corner threads. If the thread isn't too fine, I can run the needle from away towards the loose thread, in the weaving motion, but piercing a thread or two along the way. Then just thread the machine needle, pull the thread back to where you went in and that's it. Thread is rewoven with a little extra hold. You can't see it and I've never had a problem with woven threads coming loose.
Thank you!!! Absolutely beautiful!!! ❤
Such beautiful hand work and fascinating information
I haven’t got the patience or eye sight to do this. It looks beautiful 😍
This was utterly joy-making, a real pleasure to watch and learn. Thank you! Cannot WAIT for the blouse video to come ❤️
Thanks! I have to drag myself out of my current projects to edit that video, soon!

Lovely!
I really appreciate your video. I have some leftover linen and I've always wanted to try drawn work. You have inspired me!
such an easy to follow tutorial for this technique! thank you for making this video!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! Maybe you can give it a try!
I definitely will! I always wondered how people made this type of effect, I never knew what to search for. I love how delicate it looks
Beautiful
Thank you!

Such gorgeous threadwork!
