Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking / Bobbin Lacemaking by Doris Southard
This book covers the basics of lacemaking and is one of the most used in the USA where it was originally and continues to be published.
What works well?
  • This book has been used by countless lacemakers to learn to make lace.
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • Doris Southard does not follow the UK and European half stitch of CT, instead she uses TC.  This can cause initial confusion for those who have learnt from the book moving to other patterns and care should be taken to familiarise yourself with the notations of any new pattern.
  • The older, purple covered book with the image of an Elizabethan Lady does not contain the pattern for that lace.
  • This book is currently in print

    I'm the lace bee and these are my books

    With currently over 400 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library.  So here are some of my books.

    ​You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types.  Want to find a particular book?  Scroll to the top of the page, click on the magnifier glass and type in a title or author.

    I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
