Burda Style For people who sew

We couldn’t find just the right lace for our romper inset, so we decided to make our own. After tracing a leafy pattern, we cut it out of doubled, stiffened chiffon, and then finished the edges with embroidery floss and a blanket stitch. This is a bit time-consuming, but having a little piece of heirloom couture heaven in your closet might be worth it!

  hi, this is lovely :) just wodering if i was to do something similar with cotton cut outs and embroidery thread stitching, would the blanket stitch stop the edges from fraying? would I have to take special precautions when washing? it would be great if you could answer asap because i need my garment finished in two days lol

  I like this but I can see it’d be time spent well done.
