The Joys of Thread Tracing . . .

After all the stems have been thread traced, I tore the tissue paper away very, very carefully.

Using silk thread, I hand sewed (using a running stitch) along the stem design lines, stitching through tissue paper and body fabric.

Each tissue paper pieces is then cut out and pinned to the dress (making sure to pin on design lines to avoid pin marks in fabric).

I traced my design onto thin, giftwrapping tissue paper (this will tear away easier).
