All hand stitched, freehand cut, scraps that were within reach, and the finished length is about 4 1/2" long. Stitched with embroidery thread. The skirt is from a fat quarter cotton scrap, the top is from one of my old linen blouses, and the lace and rose are vintage embellishments from the children's clothing factory sale, where I worked in the seventies. The linen top was raveling bad and the thread wouldn't hold to match the armholes, so I opted to do a simple stitch with a couple of soft gathers around the neck. Not real fancy, but the dress style didn't seem to call for a lot of embellishment. I'm pleased with it though and can't wait to do a more embellished one!
Like everything I do, it's not perfect, but I really enjoyed the process and learned from it. That's what's important!
I'm thinking it may go on the front of a card or in a fabric book!
Learn something new every day! It's good for your soul! Stay safe and well!
