Miesje Chafer



Miesje Chafer makes beautiful textiles and has a fantastic colour palette. I was drawn to her new obsession with Chicken Scratch lace.  'Chicken Scratch' embroidery a.k.a. Depression lace (also has lots of other names) is a style of embroidery used on gingham during the the depression to give the illusion of lace. Traditionally it would have been worked in white thread but it's so fun trying out all the different stitches in different colours!
