This is a quick one shuttle pattern, Helen Stammers Simple Star. The pattern can be found here. I have used a vintage Coats 30 thread so it does not show up super white. The stars are tatted with silver, gold and blue beads, I used a diluted white glue to stiffen. Put 40 beads on the ball thread and take about a meter off the ball and wind a shuttle. The pattern can also be done without beads on the picots.
Very pretty stars! I think the beads make all the difference, though I can see you could leave them out.
ReplyDeleteI really like this star, although I can see it probably needs some blocking or careful shaping but very effective.
ReplyDeleteAwesome stars!!!! :)
