Draft First, Make Lace After

I finally drafted the combinations that all this tatted lace is for. And I found that I had missed a critical marking on the ruffle for the drawers legs - “cut double” - so my yard of lace is not enough. I had already decided I wasn’t in love with the ruffle idea so I drafted the longer length legs. They are a yard and a quarter along the lower edges so I had to lengthen the lace for the legs by only a quarter yard - seven pattern repeats - each. I finished the second one last night. Now I’m back to just neck and sleeves to make. I did the first repeat and a half of that last night, and it seems like it will go quickly.

Maybe that will teach me to pattern first.
