I blame Rogue ;o)

for putting the cockamamie idea in my head of hemming my new linen veil with threads pulled from the leftover fabric.

Yes, I managed to do the whole thing, yes, it actually looks really good.   Still, how cracked of an idea is that?

I usually use a blind stitch to hem items by hand, but this linen is soooo fine that the blind stitch was leaving huge holes.  So I switched to a running stitch which worked really well.

    I think it turned out wonderfully!!! I think the running stitch was a great idea too. It looks lovely =)

  2. Thank you

    Stupid thing took awhile. Dang thread kept, not so much breaking, as disintegrating. Sheesh
