Torchon Bobbin Lace Lessons, by
Lorelei Halley
These are some sample lace photographs and diagrams from my recent book,
published 2001.
Based on my lesson series for private students, it is vastly improved and updated with several hundred new sequential diagrams and photos. Each page has 3 or 4 diagrams & photos, very little text. Contains 17 patterns, each of which introduces only one new technique. The lesson series uses color as part of the teaching process, because it is easier to understand what is happening when your threads are different colors. The many sequential diagrams, especially in the early stages, are intended for the student trying to learn alone without a teacher. Diagrams look very much like what you have on your pillow and are much easier to follow than verbal instructions. Being able to picture what is supposed to happen is 90% of the battle. Photos and diagrams are in full color. Above are a few sample lace photos and diagrams (reduced in size). 157 pages. 2001. My book will be available in 2 forms: 1. spiral bound and the pages printed on both sides, 2. as pdf files, broken into 2 parts.
TORCHON BOBBIN LACE LESSONS in two parts (divided into 2 parts to make sending via email more manageable for those with slow internet service). The book is strictly progressive. Each new chapter assumes that you have mastered all the parts that have preceded it, and each new element is explained in detail only the first time it occurs. Each half is accompanied by its own group of patterns, so PART ONE does stand alone. But if you purchase only PART TWO you will miss all the explanations and diagrams which occur only in PART ONE. The early chapters are long because each element is described and diagrammed in great detail.

Torchon Bobbin Lace Patterns, by Lorelei Halley. My book of 43 torchon patterns.
 |
Torchon Bobbin Lace Patterns See
here for photos of some of the
designs. Almost no text. All explanation is in diagrams, mostly using the international color coding system. Very little text, some suggestions for hanging on. Assumes the reader knows how to make torchon. The 43 patterns in this book are original, with a few exceptions ( 43 & 44). Originally I had created a number of more complex designs and then thought that the book might not appeal to relative beginners who were part way through a torchon class, but had not mastered all of torchon. That is when I decided to deliberately create a number of simple patterns which would contain only one or two torchon elements. I also tried to include patterns using each of the major ground pinning patterns (torchon, honeycomb, rose/virgin) with each of the most common edge motifs. As it stands now, the book is about 75 percent simpler designs, with the remainder containing many torchon elements. They are mostly edgings or insertions (all with corners) but there are some mats. |

Introduction to Russian Tape Lace
Originally written in 1983, it is now revised: 47 pages, half is diagrams, mostly black & white. This booklet is appropriate for someone who is just past the absolute beginner stage in bobbin lace. The student needs to know cloth stitch, be able to spot the weaver pair in cloth stitch, how to make braids/plaits and knotted picots, how to make leaf tallies. Everything else is described in detail. Three learning patterns are not intended to be pretty lace, but to teach the basics the fastest way with least expenditure of student's time. Learn: turning stitch, working a pattern with no pinholes, single and double sewings, false plait, double braids, braid star, braid triangle, sewn triangle, margherites (leaf tally flower), zigzag braids. I've sold a great many of these over the years, and have used it with my private students.
