Beeton's Book Of Needlework Guipure D'Art- Ancient Guipure was a lace made of thin vellum, covered with gold, silver, or silk thread, and the word Guipure derives its name from the silk when thus twisted round vellum being called by that name.

In process of time the use of vellum was discontinued, and a cotton material replaced it. Guipure lace was called intelle à cartisane in England in the sixteenth century.

Various modern laces are called Guipure, but the word is misapplied, since Guipure lace is that kind only where one thread is twisted round another thread or another substance, as in the ancient Guipure d'Art.

In every design where lace can be introduced, Guipure d'Art will be found useful. It looks particularly well when mounted upon quilted silk or satin. The squares, when worked finely, look well as toilet-cushions, or, if worked in coarser thread, make admirable couvrettes, and as covers for eider-down silk quilts are very elegant.

Guipure squares should be connected by guipure lace, crochet, or tatting, or they may be edged with narrow guipure lace and joined at the corners only when placed over colored silk or satin; thus arranged, a sofa-cushion appears in alternate squares of plain and lace-covered silk; a ruche of ribbon and fall of lace to correspond completes this pretty mounting.

Not one of the least important attractions of Guipure D'Art is the speed with which it is worked, and the ease with which fresh patterns are designed by skillful workers.

Guipur D'Art is an imitation of the celebrated ancient Guipure Lace, and is worked in raised and intersected patterns upon a square network of linen thread. The needles employed are blunt, and have large eyes, to admit the linen thread.

The netted foundation, or "fillet," upon which this elegant work is embroidered, can be made by ladies very easily, and at much less cost than when bought ready made.

Beeton's Book Of Needlework Knitting

Knitting is a popular pastime enjoyed for many centuries, yet today's knitted products are nothing compared to yesteryears divine works of art.

Instead of knitting plain socks, why not knit beautiful booties that hold many fine and exquisite details. Instead of plain bedspreads, knit borders of beauty. Netting is also covered in this eBook, and when you complete the full manual you'll not only know how to knit masterful works of art, but also how to create lace that floats like clouds and that is lighter than air!

Netting is one of the prettiest and one of the easiest accomplishments of a lady. The materials are simple, while the effects produced by good netting are most elegant and of great durability. One great advantage of netting is that each stitch is finished and independent of the next, so that if an accident happens to one stitch it does not, as in crochet or knitting, spoil the whole work.

Beeton's Book Of Needlework point lace

Handmade lace is not only an art, but it is also a wonderful yet relaxing craft to help you ease your troubled mind while creating delicate articles of lace for your house and home.

Lace is of two kinds--pillow lace, which is made upon a cushion or pillow, and point lace, which is made of stitches or points worked in patterns by hand, which are joined by various stitches forming a groundwork, also the result of the needle above.

Pillow lace is entirely worked on the pillow or cushion, the pattern and ground being produced at the same time. Pillow lace is sometimes correctly called bone or bobbin lace, but it appears that the distinction has never been very nicely observed either by lace-workers or lace-traders, many sorts which are really pillow lace being called point, on account of some peculiarity in the stitch or pattern The materials required for this elegant branch of needlework are neither numerous nor expensive.

Beeton's Book Of Needlework Tatting-

work, which seems, from all accounts, to have been in favor many generations ago. Modern ingenuity has discovered some ways of improving on the original plan of tatting, which was, indeed, rather a primitive sort of business as first practiced.

These instructions now printed comprise what we consider the best mode of learning and doing this exceedingly interesting and fashionable work.

Tatting differs entirely from crochet, and is composed of stitches forming knots. It is intended as an imitation of point lace, and is especially used for trimming under-linen, on account of its strength.

In this eBook you'll learn the types of shuttles that can be used to tat and the proper way to hold your hands.

You will also find clear and concise instructions on how to make a stitch, a loop and a purl.

Joining your work would be the final step in completing your works of art.

These are all the instructions you'll need to know to create tatted items of beauty. They are easy to learn, and quick to stitch.

It come in .pdf format for easy viewing and printing.
