  Step 1 of 2

  Bias trim by itself can act as a contrasting detail on any item. For even more embellishment, instead of simply sewing a straight stitch to attach the bias tape, I chose to go with a repeating embroidery motif in contrasting thread, as a highlight.

  Step 2 of 2

  Sew two or more more lines of the same embroidery motif, in mirror view and contrasting thread over the fabric.

  This creates an interesting embellishment for a simple fabric.
