Final Straight

Now you can see the final stages are upon this project and I am almost a little sad it's drawing to a close. I've thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this piece, its tested me a little at times and has allowed me to be rather organic with the approach, adding bits as I go, the sketch layout was so basic so I really let myself go with the flow. 

The only thing that remains now is the actually finishing it, normally the boring yet satisfying stage. Normally I would have just straight mounted it onto slightly padded card, but this time I am going to mount it on patterned fabric. So not only will the design show through the eyelets but it will also act as a border. 

You can see from this sketch roughly what I had in mind. I will be stitching a very sweet picot border around it, making it a square then this will be as I said mounted onto fabric covered card. It will be stabbed stitched onto it. Then that will be it, it will be done and ready to be listed. Never to be repeated again. 

Its the picot edge just under the buttonhole loops that I will be doing as my edging its a 

mix of buttonhole and picots.
