The Ghostly Thread III

Finished with heavy iron interfacing, backing and zigzag stitches on the sewing machine.


I used a high count fine black cotton fabric with the palest pink polka dots for the backing - and forgot to take pictures!!

I cut both the interfacing and the backing larger, and ironed the layers together. Next, on my sewing machine,  i sewed a couple of lines of straight stitches around the edge. I cut a little outside these stitches with my roller cutter - this gives a very straight, sharp edge. Finally a couple of zigzag rounds - i "helped" the feed around a bit for a less structured look.


Some braid and beads, and it was done!!
