But if I was forced to choose, hmmm I think I like the 4 color combo best.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10322180715196133051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288557062866975359.post-12965899625870002322009-10-12T23:33:53.587+11:002009-10-12T23:33:53.587+11:00If that white thread on the edge shows, try colori...If that white thread on the edge shows, try coloring it with fabric markers. I color the inside edges of machine-made buttonholes with fabric pens because the interfacing usually peeks out.gwensewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809115166600229262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288557062866975359.post-27368131856681766432009-10-12T17:43:57.274+11:002009-10-12T17:43:57.274+11:00I love the idea of a making a braid.

I gave up on the idea of plaited chiffon when I worked out the cost of cutting it on the bias. Re the obsession, it is catching. I spent a lot of time researching quilting the lining etc, only to realise that my spring fabric is way too fine. I'll do another in winter that is totally Coco couture.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622769905155059570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288557062866975359.post-27999535691154789002009-10-12T14:58:51.709+11:002009-10-12T14:58:51.709+11:00I like the 4 strands too.

Have you thought about making a braid from the embroidery cottons rather than yarn? - the teenage girls here wear pretty flash "friendship bracelets" made from interesting braid and knot combinations - then you could match the colours perfectly. Aren't there about 700 DMC colours? I am thinking that 4 lots of 8ply could look a bit thick.<br />I think the hook and eye closure would work beautifully.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.com
