embellish the front and then embellish the back...

I added another layer to the lower edge of this swatch which you saw earlier this week. It's not finished, the new layer needs titivating around the edges. Meanwhile, I also embroidered the reverse. Why you might wonder.....well why not? The reverse of these pieces will be visible, they won't be lined so let's have a little titivation on there too. In the fourth mage that can be seen clearly, a buttonhole edge across one seam and some little pom poms on another. I intend to buttonhole all the seams and hems on the reverse perhaps adding beads or other adornments too.  That is the plan for all my new swatches. It will take some time to finish them all but I'm in no hurry.
