Three new Christmas Baubles patterns for Christmas 2024. These are slightly bigger than previous years and incorporate 4mm sequins and Delica beads (for the Christmas tree).
This is for the three ready to work - ready pricked patterns, and the pattern sheet.
"Ready to Work" is printed onto pricking card and the holes made in it by computer controlled laser process, ensuring an accurate pattern. This process also saves times and means you can get onto the making of the lace much quicker.
Techniques are shown on video tutorials on YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@louisewestlace
