Roseground Tatting & Lacemaking Supplies Tatting is a form of lacemaking which probably originated, in its present form, in the early 19th century.

Bobbin lacemaking originated in the 16th century in continental Europe and has developed throughout the world, in various forms and in various centres, since then. In England it developed as a cottage industry, again in various distinctive regional forms in several areas, notably the south-east midlands - Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire - and in Devon. This cottage industry had its heyday in the 19th century before being largely overtaken by machine-made lace from the Nottingham area. The 1960s the craft saw a revival in interest in lacemaking among hobby lacemakers which spread throughout the world, The craft continues to flourish today, with 'lace days' and 'lace fairs' held regularly in most parts of the United Kingdom and other places thoughout the world. It is traditionally carried out using a shuttle to form the distinctive forms often seen on doily and handkerchief edgings - but nowadays developed to produce, in addition, far more adventurous and advanced pieces. More recently, needle tatting has developed and remains a popular alternative to the shuttle.

Not too late to register - another great interview to hear. We’ve just arrived at Flamborough Head for a 4-night R&R break - good news, wi-fi seems good so I’ll definitely be watching ❤️👏👏

Very excited and proud to be a part of this programme of events to raise the profile of our endangered craft and hopefully encourage new lacemakers and most importantly new lace teachers to keep bobbin lacemaking alive for future generations.

Pudsey and a short break!
A huge thank you to everyone who visited the Pudsey Lace & Craft Fair yesterday! A fabulous day and super to see so many happy lacemakers and tatters ❤️. We ended a superb day with delicious birthday cake (thank you Barbara for making) for Chris Lace Bobbins by Chris Parsons 🎶 🎂 . It was a long and tiring day but definitely a happy one - I found the settee very quickly when we got home!

Today will be a catch up day with mail order before we head off to Flamborough Head tomorrow for some R&R (and a bit of admin!). We will be away until Friday and will catch up with orders as quickly as possible on our return.

Thank you again everyone for supporting the fairs, it really is appreciated by all the suppliers and organisers. The next major fair will be the Mainly Lace Events Christmas Fair on the 5th December at the National Motorcycle Museum, near Birmingham. Want to make this an extra special day? You might want to consider booking in to attended one of the courses - there is a fabulous selection to choose from ❤️

We are almost ready for the Pudsey Lace and Craft Fair on Saturday - we will be up bright and early to travel north! Delighted to be returning to this fabulous event after having to miss last year due to illness.

Drop me a line - [email protected] before 6.00 pm tomorrow 😀

Please do support the fair if you are able, the organisers and suppliers really do appreciate this ❤️ .

See you there!
