And the left edge of my foot kept slipping on either the ruching, the applique, the beading or all three! Arrrrrggghhhh! But still, I really like how it looks. The ruched fabric is a Michael Miller Fairy Frost. But if you don't like it, I can take it off, and put on a plain border of the green. Just let me know.
