Idrija Lace School
Idrija Lace – Narrow Cloth Stitch
A step-by-step manual describing the techniques of narrow cloth stitch, and in fact introducing the basic foundations for learning any bobbin lace.
The book begins with a series of exercise patterns, each focusing on typical lace features such as bends and corners. The remainder of the publication includes a variety of projects, ranging from simple motifs to more complex pictorial designs, including a particularly charming giraffe motif, designed to develop skills progressively across different levels.
The exercises and patterns were created by Ms. Maja Svetlik, pattern designer at the Idrija Lace School, with the support of the school staff, where step-by-step learning is a central objective.
The teaching sections are fully supported by:
Clear photographs
Carefully drawn diagrams
Precise explanatory text
Each exercise and project includes:
One or more photographs of the finished piece
A clearly presented pattern
Colour-coded working diagrams where appropriate
An excellent resource for building a strong foundation in bobbin lace through the traditional techniques of Idrija lace.
