The United States wouldn’t be here without immigrants and their stories. Learn about the history of Irish Lace, which was used by many Irish families to raise funds for immigration to the U.S. during the potato famine. Their techniques became popular in the States, taking over fashion and crafting magazines all the way into the early 20th century.

We’ll go over how and why Irish Lace was created, as well as some basic techniques for how even a beginner can create gorgeous pieces.
