Kumin felt braid stitched with automatic patterns and burnt with a soldering iron. One edge worked better than the other, perhaps the soldering iron was hotter for the second one.
Kumin felt free machinesd with yellow and purple whip stitch and burnt with a heat gun. The edge wrinkled so it might be better with a heatproof backing fabric stick to it before working.
Fringe made from torn strips of cotton fabric, stitched with an automatic pattern and varigated thread.
Cotton Perle5 printed in metallic blue fabric paint using the block from Chapter 1. The frame came unstuck during working so the fringe is of varying depth. The blur thread used to stitch the top does not quite match. Next time I will try printing both sides of the fringe for greater effect.
Below - Rayon tubular knitting tape. The top is stitched over strips of the tape. this could be worked with a plain colour and printed as the sample above.
Tiny tassels. L - R
A varigated textured yarn but the skirt would need to be longer. Silver machine thread, but it looks rather like paint brushes. so perhaps a thicker skirt would be better. A multicoloured tassel made from the threads left on the bobbins after stitching chapter 6. My husband saw this and said it reminded him of fishing flies, so I looked these up, hence the colours used for the right hand tassel based on a salmon catching fly metallic silver grey and bright red stitched with green.
