From Shuttle to Stylus: The Story of Tatted Laces

I’ve Always Believed That The Most Meaningful Things In Life Are Made Of Thousands Of Tiny, Intentional Details 🎨✨

For years, I lived and breathed the vintage art of shuttle tatting – an intricate craft of knots and thread. But as a busy creator, I realized that my creative spark was evolving.

While I still adore the rhythm of lace, I’ve traded the thread for a digital canvas to bring that same “tatted” attention to detail to a whole new world of wearable art.

Why the shift?

Handmade lace is a labor of love, but it’s slow. By transitioning to Print on Demand and partnering with professional printers, I can finally bring my designs to life on premium Comfort Colors® tees, cozy sweatshirts, Handy Journals and whimsical home decor without the months-long wait.

Some Of What You’ll Find Here:

Every design at Phrase Art Studio and Tatted Laces is born from a “scrub-life” brain or a “cat-mom” heart. I specialize in creating:

  • Niche Nurse Apparel: From PACU “Soft Landings” to sarcastic medical humor.
  • Bookish & Hobbyist Gifts: For the “just one more chapter” crowd and the silly goose enthusiasts.
  • Lifestyle Goods: Vibrant suncatchers, handy gift journals and accessories that brighten your everyday space.

I’m still designing every single day – I’m just doing it with a stylus now. Think of it as Vintage Soul meets Modern Style.

BETTER SORTING

If you’ve visited my Etsy shop, you know I have hundreds of products. I love Etsy, but with so many creations, its limited categories can make it a bit of a treasure hunt to find exactly what you’re looking for.

To make your life easier, I’ve organized everything beautifully over at my sister site: PhraseArtStudio
