I cut 1" strips of fabric on the bias, folded them in half and sewed them lengthwise. Using a small plastic tool that was about 1/4" wide, I inserted it into the fabric sleeve and ironed the strips hiding the seam on the back. I used double sided 1/4" wide fusible to hold the strips onto the fabric until it was sewn down.

The Celtic design was traced onto the black fabric using tracing paper.
