International Tatters’ Day
Happy International Tatters’ day for all the tatters on this globe. I know most of the world is going through pandemic, and locked down. Wishing all the tatters , ” Happy tatters day”. This art has kept me sail through the boredom of lock down period.
Tatting :
Tatting is an European art of making lace .. This needs a shuttle and thread.

I had learnt this 20 years ago . I have shared, struggles I have undergone , while learning for the first time.I have designed many dresses and sarees using this art. Last week I had shared , the neck design using tatting.
