That's a lovely trim Becky. Your directions are well written and easy to understand.
ReplyDeleteI love crocheting trims and have even started making some with beads. I bought a wonderful book titled The Beaded Edge and have had fun making some of these. There are some wonderful antique trim/edging patterns out there too.
I look forward to seeing what you use this trim of yours with.

That will make a very nice finish touch to whatever you are making. I've never tried to make trim, but I've admired it very often. I have one set of simple, white pillow cases with a think bit of trim and though there really isn't anything "special" about them I think that trim makes them special.
