 Again I have changed my mind mid seam…I chose to do a ruched ribbon because I wanted to cover some parts of the gold design on the fabric…Next I was going to add beads as I usually do to the ruched ribbon…But the reason for covering parts of the gold was to show off the shapes of the gold design and beads would have been to close to the gold and be distracting.
I thought about leaving it with no further embellishment but it didn’t look finished, I was a bit flumaxed as to what else I could do until I looked at the other seams that border the gold design…that was it a little repetition would work…I found the fabric and cut out a couple of extra bits of the design, because they are small pieces as well as putting them on with fusible webbing, I used a gold thread to stitch them on.

If you hadn’t said you added that, I wouldn’t have known. I was trying to figure out how you stitched it to match so perfectly! =) I like that ribbon. Chiffon?
