Half a broderie anglaise collar

[mala_14]

As stated before, I have about half the embroidery done on a collar. Here it is after ironing and after cutting out a couple of the motifs:

(Had a little bit of tension issues in the corner, but that part got cut off anyways, so doesn't matter!)


It's a pretty simple design and some of the motifs are a bit wonky, but it works. The Borgias dress is coming along. The bodice is mostly done and the sleeves are about half way. Need to finish up the sleeves and get the skirt together and attached for it to be wearable. Have all day today and tomorrow to get that done.

Neat! To get a custom fit instead of trying to cut and slash weird eyelet is going to be so much nicer.

Thanks! You're totally right. I didn't even think of that!

It look just like broderie anglaise! I don't know why that's so impressive, but I guess it's just that when you always see something in its final form, it's weirdly amazing to see it mid-construction. So cool!

lol I had the exact same reaction after I'd finished a few of the motifs! Like, it actually looks like the thing it's supposed to be. Thank you!

That's beautiful! I would never know there were issues - even the one you pointed out I can't see. :D

Thanks! (It's the little wrinkles in the fabric outside of the corner of the collar. But they're gone now because they've been cut away!)

That looks lovely! You're making me want to do some whitework too.

Thanks! You should! I was surprised how quickly this went when I was doing like 1/2 an hour to an hour a day.
