COLLAR IN TATTING OR FRIVOLITE[Fig. 10.]
Materials.—Cotton, No. 3; Italian net.
I may observe,en passant, that this cotton isthe only onewhich has been manufactured expressly for Tatting, and is really suited for that work.
Work the ovals and loops as seen in the Engraving, leaving threads wherever they appear to be required; draw the pattern on colored paper, from the engraving; lay the net on, and tack the various parts of them in their places, according to the design; sew over the threads, centres, &c., with the same cotton, and cut out the net; fill in the centre of each flower with a rosette of English Point (see Part III.), worked in Evans’s Mecklenburgh, 100; the other open parts might also very effectively be filled in like manner. A muslin band must be sewed round the neck.
