I haven’t had a lot to post recently despite the fact that I’ve been crafting A LOT. I’m making a lot of things for my wedding, and most of them are gifts for people helping me with things; therefore, they are secret.
I wrote a few weeks ago about the doilies I am making for my wedding. In addition to the round varieties, I also needed some oval doilies. I took the original pattern and made some adjustment to it to create an oval version. The pattern for the oval version is below. I wanted the doilies to have a larger difference between their “long” and “short” sides, but they will do. They look nice with the round versions.
