Leora said... How did you finish the edges of the ruffle... Flamed? So, it is ever-so-slightly discolored, or did it not change in color at all? I have to know what you did/how you did it/etc. Love this top!! 12/1/09 2:50 AM
HLT said... Well Leora, I put a tea light in a plate fo shallow water and quite elegantly glided the edge of the fabric over the top of the flame, flaming small sections at a time. So the color on the edges is slightly 'toasted' but it accents the trim. The ruffle trim is the same fabric as the wrap top with the buttons. Of course you will need to test a square of some fabric 1st. Some are slow burners and others will burn so fast you'll with you were holding it with tweezers!!! Burn test are really good at determining content by the results. I will try to add a detail picture by the end of the day. 12/1/09 9:31 AM
