A lily I already spent 30h on. What's on your pillow this week?

I'm currently making some samples for an upcoming Bobbin Lace panel I'll be hosting. I know while I'm not super experienced I want to help point others in the right direction for trying to learn bobbin lace. So, If you have any suggestions for information you wish you knew when you were learning or any tips you'd like to give for people just starting out please suggest it! The panel will be in June so any suggestions would be lovely!

New work of my student.

This is technically my second attempt, but I don't want to count my first one I rage quit when my thread got tangled together. I'm using a garden knee cushion with some fabric over it for my pillow.

Pattern by Galicia Bee. Thread Lizbeth size 40, 100% Egyptian cotton.

This is the 4th project I have completed, but the first torchon project. Im still a little confused by torchon. My book seems to have some slightly different instructions than what im seeing online. Im gonna just keep doing more torchon projects for a bit until it makes more sense. Still loving bobbins though!

This will be a wedding garter for my daughter. She picked the colors. This is my demonstration project for summer & fall as well. It is a Harlequin lace draft, Patten 39. 46 pairs, Aurifil threads (I believe it is Aurifil 50, orange spool) in 3 colors & ecru. The lace is 2 1/2 inches wide at its widest point. The pillow is a Glimakra pillow that I got from Vävstuga in MA

First patch for my trousers done. Now I have to make the second one and sew everything together.

I can already tell this is going to be a lot easier.

I got my new bobbins for a steal, 36 for £6 on vinted and the cushion is some kind of floor cushion for meditating.

I have more pins and more colours of silk coming tomorrow hopefully.

Im going to do the fans in 2 different colours, a gold and a pale green so I'll see if I mess up.

I feel very professional now XD

Tho I have no idea why my attempts at attaching them together at the shared pins didn't work or why if is a bit curly but I'm pretty sure when I sew it onto something it'll be fine.

If anyone has tips to improve my craft do tell me tho I'm quite new here.
