Step 1
Step 1: “Currently the sash is in its production. In the photos we see the traditional ground of silk dupion in a duck egg blue, featuring the working ‘MISS WORLD’ rendered in the appliqué technique.”
Step 2: “This technique is undertaken through the use of a ground fabric and the top fabric. One would cut the top fabric with scissors the desired shape, affix this in the correct composition to the ground fabric, and then a hand-guided Irish sewing machine is used to produce a satin stitch around the edge of the top fabric shape. This is a satin stitch in a metallic silver.”

Step 3: “The stones are a clue to the next stage of the embroidery, but that will have to wait until next time.”
