Partlet with Holly Embroidery - Update 3

With the holly embroidery complete, I felt that there was too much negative space between the centre-front hem and the design, so Trevellyon came to the rescue again! I adapted the border design around the holly pattern in his book and worked it in red and green.


The central horizontal stitches are double running stitch and the border is worked in split stitch (both with two strands of DMC floss).

  1. A definite improvement. Though it now looks very Christmassy; was that your intended effect?

  2. Not really, but I'm really quite pleased with how it has turned out.
