A Simply Sparkle Wedding by Jane Lewis & Sally Smiddy
This sumptuous book offers matching collections of garters, ring pillow and sixpence carriers in torchon and bucks point.
Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour photos, Jane and Sally have carefully arranged the key photos for each design in the same way so that you can easily compare one design with another.
This book is one to help you create heirloom pieces. It is worth considering buying this book early in your lacemaking journey so that you can choose a design and work towards gaining the skills to make it.
What works well?
- The book is lusciously illustrated throughout with line drawings of the flowers that have inspired each of the patterns.
- Large scale black and white working diagrams are included showing set up of the bobbins.
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
- Whilst this is a book of pattern has clear diagrams and information on adding beads and sequins, it is squarely aimed at the adventurous beginner and above.
- This book is sprinkled with wedding facts and fables.
- Currently in print, this book is available from a number of lace suppliers.
Sally Smiddy has launched her own website to showcase her designs. It also has supplier suggestions for the elements that you may need for her patterns.
