I've finished two more seam treatments from Sharon's 100 Details in 100 Days... of course I'm behind but I'm still trucking along!
Here is Day 10:
I like this one alot... the half-circle buttonholes make a wonderful line and the addition of the extra stitches and beads really fills it out nicely. I can see many variations to the half-circle buttonholes in my future... they are fun to do and create a flowing seam treatment.
And here is Day 16:
This, I'm rather unsure of... I still don't know whether I like it or not. I can see that I made the fly stitch loop too long and I think it is too far away from the braid. I tried bullion stitches but because I was using #8 perle cotton they were way overshadowed by the loop and the braid so I used beads in place of the bullion stitches.
I really need some thicker perle cotton.
sigh
I guess I'm just gonna have to go shopping again! :0)

I really like the braid tied with the fly stitch and seed beads - it is different
I like it too, and I for one absolutely love the idea of using Tiger Tape! When I read it on your blog, it was one of those a-ha moments for me! Thanks again!
I don't think the fly stitch is too long at all.
Such a beautiful combination of threads - this is the first time I've seen your posting. Lovely.
