Making progress

Posted on December 5, 2011 by Trystan
Isabella de Medici, circa 1560 by Bronzino

Finally got back to some sewing this weekend, admist putting up xmas decorations, dealing with a Very Bad Cat, & discovering that our house has termites. Good times! (Not.) I’m going with trim pattern #2 in the previous post, but may intersperse that with lines of the narrow trim — depends how much time I have & how tired I get of hand-sewing. The wide lace went on fine with the machine, but the narrow stuff will all have to be applied by hand. It curled up under the presser foot like crazy when I tried sewing it on the machine, plus the line of stitching looked icky down the center. Ah well.
