This weekend I have a reinactment (sort of) in the 1800's era. I am making a different blouse for it and it was rather PLAIN. So decided to add some beaded trim. I had no beading foot so used the open toed foot and a zig zag.
I looks a bit crumpled but it won't be once it is all put together and on my body...the skirt is brown, pink and off white striped.
