I've been gathering materials together and I'm just about ready, but I have a question that is looking for opinions...
Should I sew in hems and casing first or wait until the pattern is embroidered? I don't think the stitching will cross into the hems... In fact I'm thinking that instead of stitching I'm going to applique the dark red outline band.
Maybe.
What are thoughts?
Oh, here's a picture to remind you...
Also... I took a short workshop in tatting this past Fall and I'm going to mix in some tatted flowers with the embroidered ones around the dark blue areas. I've the perfect color thread!
