For those who love hand made lace.
Varieties of this kind include Russian tape lace, Schneeberger lace, Idrija lace, Lepoglava, Hinojosa and Milanese. These laces are popular today particularly in Italy, Spain, and Russia. They go back to the mid 1500s in Italy and Flanders. Milanese tape lace is more complex and adds fancy decorative stitches and holes into the tape itself. Hinojosa, dating from at least the late 19th c through the 20th c, is from the south west of Spain and relies on changing the stitch used to allow the tape to expand and contract in width.

an exhibition of Polish bobbin lace, mostly tape laces
Thank you!
I have recently created a new page for my personal website. It is about the basics of making bobbin tape lace. There are 5 bookmark patterns, with explanations of how to do the joinings of one part of the tape to another. I have also added several new ways to do turning stitch. There are more than half a dozen, which I have collected from various sources.

a new book. I haven't seen it. Could be good.
This site is selling Russian tape lace objects, including vests, neck decorations.

And this one has a series of teaching patterns, downloadable for free.
I have just added several diagrams of different kinds of turning stitch, to my website.

Thank you
Carol - check out our Recommended Books page in this group. Look in the column just to the right of this one, under the member avatars, at the "Pages".

The Russian lace group of books is near the bottom of that page. The ones I have found most useful are the DMC one and the Karpenko booklet. The DMC is available as a free download, broken into several parts. The text is German. But I think that either the ariz.edu site or the antique pattern library site may have it in French instead. But the photos (engravings?) are clear enough that I didn't really need to read the text. You can see where all the threads go, and that is enough.
The Karpenko has no text at all, just a series of diagrams showing stages of the work. That also seems to be enough to get the general idea.
Another possibility would be to use some of the free patterns on my personal website. Some of the patterns are from the DMC books, some from another free download, and one is my own design.

I still haven't worked samples for the MM ones (from Mincoff & Marriage), but I have done some of the DMC ones.

Hi just joined you I am interested in learning Russian lace. What books do you advise, and patterns to start. I know torchon lace, so used to basic stitches.
Thanks Carol.
