How to attach lucet cord to garments:
Lucet cords are great for making a favorite garment even more special as they make gorgeous embellishments on clothing.
. The Latchet Lucet allows you to make miles of lucet cord quickly so you can add fab flourishes to garments that you are sewing yourself or to make store bought clothing one of a kind.
This video gives tips, hacks and techniques on how to successfully apply lucet cord to clothing, but you can just as easily add it to curtains, hats, bags or pillows.
The Latchet lucet can be purchased from: https://www.dewberryridge.com/products/latchet-lucet#
The patterns for the asymmetrical jacket and vest came from the book: Bold & Beautiful Easy Sew Clothes by Habibe Acikgoz. ISBN:978-1-250-02365-0 published by St. Martin’s Griffin

People have been asking about working with both thin yarns, threads and cords as well as thicker yarns on the Latchet Lucet.
This video shows the stitch wiggle trick that draws up the excess thread when working with fine cords, threads or yarns. As for thicker yarns, no problem- working with roving yarns makes very effective lucet cords.
Lucets are not like crochet hooks or knitting needles that have to be specific to the yarn.
You can work with a huge range of yarn thicknesses, types and weights of yarn on lucets. The one trick to be aware of with the Latchet Lucet is to keep the yarn that goes across the latchets at a very light tension, and then tighten the stitches up AFTER they are formed.

In my previous post, LINK, I introduced the wonderful Latchet Lucet that I designed and Dewberry Ridge looms is building and selling.
A lady asked me if it’s possible to make lucet cord with just one hand when using the Latchet Lucet.
My first response was- Of course!
Then then, I thought: Oh! I should try it…
And I did, and it works great!
I made a little video showing how to do the One Handed Lucet Cord (very Zen 🙂 )
I am so pleased that people who have an injury or a challenge of some other sort will be able to create beauty with the Latchet Lucet! Yay!
My Celtic Interlace necklace pattern in my etsy shop works great with Lucet cord: LINK
All the lucet cord projects on my youtube video channel LINK work beautifully with the Latchet Lucet cords.

In this video, I show how to make gorgeous Celtic interlace hearts that you can use to embellish woven, knitted, crocheted or sewn fashion accessories or home decor items.
They are also great for scrapbooking and can be used on stationery.
They are perfect Valentines or as Christmas or birthday decorations and ornaments.
Another wonderful way of using these Celtic Interlace hearts is to hang them up as ‘Yarn Bombs’ for people to find and adopt. What a lovely way to brighten someone’s day!
The video shows how to make different sizes of the Celtic Interlace Heart.
Here is the template- print it out so that it’s about 5 inches square, but smaller or larger works just fine, too.

Spool knitted cords work fine for making the Celtic interlace hearts, too.

In this video tutorial, I show how to make awesome shoelaces, and a great upcycling way of making those little thingies at the end of the laces.
I couldn’t remember the right name for them when I was making the video, and called them ‘aplets’, but the correct name is ‘aglets or aiglets’.
Wikipedia defines them as: The word aglet (or aiglet) comes from Old French aguillette (or aiguillette), which is the diminutive of aguille (or aiguille), meaning needle.[1] This in turn comes from acus, Latin for needle. An aglet is like a small needle at the end of a corde

I have designed and made a very small lucet that is my all time favorite.
It’s only 2 inches by 2 inches, and so it’s so easy to take with you wherever you go.
I am selling them in my etsy shop, here:
