Thank you!

Thank you! Mention of Boneo biscuits brings back happy memories of my grandparents’ dog! (He would not touch it if you offered him a whole one, it had to be broken in half first haha)

@@madebylora well at least I get something from the boxes, incedently, I don't know if you have seen mike deakin? He creates journals cards etc, he is very good, well worth watching, have a great day.

This year I have started doing tatting too! I love how small and portable the supplies are for tatting, compared to bobbin lace. I enjoy doing both, in different circumstances.

Thank you for your comment. It is definitely easier to learn if you have someone who you can sit with and be able to ask them questions. A good place to find free patterns is on Pinterest. I am hoping to do more lace videos soon. Thank you for watching. What is your language? Is it Arabic?

​​@@madebyloraنعم لغتي العربية شكراً للرد سأحاول الحصول على أنماط سهلة حتى أتعلم منها وأطبق الدروس منك أرجو تفعيل الترجمة التلقائية خاصتك بوركت سيدتي ❤

Thank you! I’m glad you found this video helpful! A couple of people have said that the stitching part would be easier to see with a coloured thread. I don’t like to do that for blank sketchbooks because I sometimes like to draw across the join. However, next week I’ll be binding a book and will be using coloured thread and also a different technique for the covers. Keep an eye out for that, if you’re interested to see more.

Thank you! I’m glad this was helpful! At the time when I made this video I wasn’t confident about when to do extra twists, but I have since learned that there should be 2 twists on the threads when they go around the pin at the end. So, if your last stitch ends with a twist anyway, then you only need to add one extra twist. But if your last stitch ends with a cross, then you need to add 2 extra twists. I hope that makes sense.

Thank you so much! Have you ever made your own books? If you are interested, I also have a tutorial on how I make fabric covered sketchbooks.

@@madebylora I have but they don’t turn out as professional as yours. I’ll definitely watch your book tutorial. Thanks.

@@jude1515 it's quite a long video but lots of people have commented that it was helpful doing it slowly step by step. I hope you will soon be making books you feel more proud of!

Thank you for your lovely comment! I’m so glad you could follow what I was doing. It’s hard to know how many times to repeat the steps on a video. Have you ever tried Tatting? It’s sort of a cross between macrame and crochet. It’s classed as a type of lace but it’s made with knots. At some point I will do a video about it, but I also want to do more lace videos and several other crafts (too many ideas haha)

@@StillSyl thank you! Yes, I’ve since learnt that there should be 2 twists when the threads go around the pin. So, it depends whether there is already a twist on the threads or not whether you add 2 twists or if just one more twist is needed.

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

Thanks 😁

Thank you I’m glad you are enjoying it!

To be honest, that whole jumper irritates. When I wear it, I have to make sure I’m wearing long sleeves underneath. Haha. I only keep it because it’s a memory of my late husband from our honeymoon.

​@@madebyloraAye, it's hard parting with things if they hold a memory, especially if it's a memory of a late loved one. I've got old receipts that I've kept. One of them the print has completely faded. Good job I didn't want to return the item haha

Thank you!

@@susanlee7341 It varies depending on the design, but most patterns that I’ve done so far have ended with knots. I make the threads longer, but still attached to the bobbins and tie 3 knots with each pair of bobbins. Then cut off all the bobbins leaving long-ish threads. If the ends need to be hidden, I use a sewing needle to thread the loose ends into the bottom edge of the lace, just a few tiny stitches, and then trim off the ends close to the lace so the ends aren’t visible. (The knotting is done while it’s still on the pillow and the sewing is done after it’s taken off the pillow). Sometimes if there are lots of ends, it can end up looking a bit bulky with the knots and the weaved in ends, but I’m still working on that. Some designs are easier to hide the ends than others. Some people say you should leave the lace pinned to the pillow for 24 hours before you take it off, but to be honest, I never have the patience for that, I always want to see it straight away. And unless it’s a small piece that’s been done all in one day, most of the lace will have already been pinned a long time already anyway! (That’s my impatient logic for taking the lace off the pillow as soon as it’s finished haha). I hope that helps.

Do you take lots of photos in the winter so that you can sketch them in the summer? I think 40c is about the hottest it’s ever been in England. To be honest I struggle if it gets much above 20c! Haha

Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you! I hope the story will be worth the wait haha

Thank you! Several people have described my sketches as "illustrative" in the past so it seems appropriate to put them in a story haha

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it

I'm actually enjoying the writing more than expected (although a few of the later prompt words will be a challenge to make fit). I've had a cut out some stuff out because I was getting a bit carried away with some of the chapters and had to rein it in a bit... It's still supposed to be mostly about the sketches haha

Thank you so much!

Aww thank you so much! It makes me really happy to see your comment! Thank you!

Aww thank you. That means a lot!

Thank you! At the moment I’m trying not to buy too many different tools because I find the simpler I keep my supplies, the more likely I am to actually use them. But next time I’m thinking about buying another pen, I will definitely check out your recommendation. At the moment I’m content with just having one, but maybe in the future I will want to have another pen ready to use with a different colour ink in it. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

How are you getting on with your story? It sounds very ambitious! I’m keeping mine pretty small and simple but I’m enjoying it so far. There have been a couple of occasions when I wished I had allowed myself some colour too, but it’s pushing me to think more about how I “colour” the different shades just with black ink.

Hope you enjoy it!

It’s always nice when it’s possible to combine multiple hobbies into one project!

Thank you! I've just written a draft of a Prologue and chapter 1 haha. I still haven't painted my last September image, but going to do that next. I loved Leslie Stroz houses! I hope you have fun doing your own version of it!

It’s so fun when a challenge has you so excited that you want to start early… adding the storyline component should certainly keep it interesting!!

First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch my video when you already do book binding. Thank you so much for your kind comment, it means a lot!

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you found this helpful. I hope you will enjoy making your own books as much as I do!

Ah thank you, I'm so glad you found this helpful!

I didn't think about that at the time when I made it. It will be interesting to see how long it takes before the sketches are affected.

Yes that is a good point. I don't use the band very often, but it's a good precaution to keep in mind.

I've not got a tutorial for using the Amazon brown paper, but the making process was the same. The only difference is that I decided to rip the pages instead of cutting them. It seemed to suit the book because the paper was a bit crumpled. I held a ruler down on the paper when I ripped the paper so that the ripped edges weren't too scruffy. I've also made a note to show that technique in a future video too.

@@madebylora thanks for the info; I’m going to try making that next. I made a watercolor book with your tutorial and it was great. I had all the stuff. I plan to do Inktober with it! Thanks for opening this up for me!

That's so lovely to hear! I'm so glad it's been helpful.

Thank you! I've made myself a note to include a pocket in my next tutorial.

@@madebylora that’s great; looking forward to it. You might consider using colored thread in your next book. I think it might show up better in the video. You did a great job though. Sarah

A couple of people have suggested coloured thread. Normally I do white because I sometimes like to sketch across the join between pages. I'll be making a book for Inktober this year, so I'll film that and I will use coloured thread. I won't be finishing the binding and the cover until the end of the month, so keep an eye out for it at end of October/start of November.

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much, I'm glad this was helpful

Thank you!

Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, I'm not in a hurry to use the gold thread again haha

I crochet too. Maybe one day I'll get around to doing a crochet video, but I have more ideas for videos than time to do them haha. Thanks for watching my lace video

@@madebylora you’re welcome, they are so mesmerizing to watch. I’ll definitely watch if you crochet. I desperately want to learn more stitches but there are no videos that break it down slow enough for me lol. New sub here.

Thank you for watching! It makes me so happy to see when someone watches more than one of my videos! 😁. And an added bonus when I can colour a new area on my world map!
