Detail:
This seam was first covered with a braid that I found in a remnant pack in a soft furnishing store. After stitching the braid down I added some straight stitches on hand dyed soft cotton (a bit like flower thread) and some detached chains stitches worked in a hand dyed cotton. I then add some small seed beads
Thread:
Cotton hand dyed by me using procion dyes
