1936 motif

The pattern for that motif can be found in Georgia Seitz's site, from 2005 online classes. It is from "Imported Designs of Tatting Book #77 The Spool Cotton Co. ©1936". She talked about the booklet from 1936 in her article here:

Many thanks to Mimi Dillman for sharing her instructions for the pattern with us 🥰.

It's a very beautiful motif, and colours are lovely on jeans. Thread is "combi 0.4", "mandarino" (orange) and "cacao" (brown),by "Fili &Gioielli a chiacchierino", from Edda Guastalla's shop.

It's been a pleasure to tat, especially because I read her working notes in her pdf.
But I didn't change the stitches' count for the larger rings and I chose to start at one large ring, because I don't often tat clunies and I actually was worrying how to hide ends inside the cluny leaf.
Also, I added one wrap to clunies, it worked great for my hand and with that thread.
Edda's thread is smooth and I think that it was the reason why tatting the leaves went like a breeze 👍🥰.

Then, I followed a great tip from Muskaan (https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com), that one that she calls "ONE SMALL STEP". She also shared in her blog something about how to hide ends in the leaf. I should have refreshed her full series of posts before tatting this motif, a good reminder for me for re-tatting it!

Just a curiosity, 1936 is also the foundation year of my native city.
