A Good Yarn / Re: The Repair shop - Irish Clones lace
« Last post by HenriettaMaria on Today at 13:40:13 »I noticed that too, @BrendaP
It was plainly crochet-made but to call it something other than lace is a bit nit-picky to me. If she'd made the point that it wasn't bobbin lace, which, to be fair, most people think of when they think of heritage lace, it might have made more sense.
Still, she had a lot more patience than I could have shown in the face of a challenge like that :-)

Vintage Machines / Singer Patcher machine shown on Australian Repair Shop
« Last post by Elnnina on Today at 11:19:45 »Within the last two weeks or so they started showing a new series of Australian Repair Shop and in one episode a very old mucky Singer patcher machine was brought in, in fact it was treadle operated. They worked wonders on this machine, all the rust was removed and it was repainted and then the gold lettering was redone, the treadle mechanism was overhauled and painted black again and of course they got the machine working again. The Australian series is being shown on Sky Really which is channel 144. I know one or two of you have a patcher machine so thought you might be interested. This was episode two of this series and shown on 10th April - they called it a rare machine.
