When I started this seam it was going to be the ric-rac held on with herringbone stitch and trimmed with french knots…
With a loop on the right so the I could poke the end of the ric-rac under itself…
When I made the loop I thought instead of cutting it short I could twist the ric-rac for the length of the seam…When I started twisting the ric rac I thought umm if I can make a loop at the end I could maybe make extra loops along the length…I liked the shape that it formed and kept the trim simple, using each loop as a background to a pink crystal with green seed beads.
A very different seam to what I started to do.

Annie, I just love your inventiveness with this ric-rac seam. The beads are nestled in so naturally. The variety of textures appealing, too.

Isn’t that cool when that happens? I love it when something takes over and makes it’s own design! This is so pretty with the beads.
