Machine shadow work, done on voile. I put fishing line in rolled hem edge, gives it a nice finished frill. Enjoyed doing this one....

Oh Kezza, this would be a lovely pillow to put on a bed... okay, maybe not my bed since I sleep with a large black lab. lol...

Very nice, I love the colours. Never heard of using fishing line in a rolled hem, but it looks great. I have a huge cone someone gave me, said it was ideal for serger. Well it was not and has been sitting in my sewing room ever since. Maybe I'll can use it after all!

Very nicely done. The fishing line makes the edges very nice. I have used it in wedding veils and frills. I use a thin one. *4u
