Author Description

Excerpt from How to Make Lace Honiton and Battenburg lace braid work has now become a perfect rage. It is used for dress trimmings, fancy neckwear, hat crowns and various other dress accessories. Also for bureau and buffet scarfs, centre pieces. Doilies, tidies, curtains and many other household decorations. It is little wonder that the beautiful work is pleasing. All its com ponent parts are so perfect that it is only a pleasure to form with the imported braid, the dainty filmy lace. It is also a satisfaction to have real hand-made lace articles, in one's home, instead of the stiff machine woven goods that otherwise would take their place. This hand-made lace braid work has a character which no machine can supply the very evenness and atness of machine lace makes it of little value from an artistic point of view.
