Isn't that cute?! The quilter who was asking about ideas to use gingham needs to see that. Great use of rick rack but I do have some concern that some of those tended to bleed. If we have been sewing garments in the past, we probably have a box full of rick rack and other trims waiting to be used. Recently a friend was commenting about her mother used to let down her dresses and put rick rack on the faded fold to get a little more wear out of the garment. Remember the days when things really got used up instead of thrown away?
