The gold patch on the luggage tag is stitched in MiniMilanese Stripes, below. It’s a modification of a stitch I saw on Whimsical Stitches. It’s cool, not only because it’s a textured stripe, but because the columns of tiny Milanese stitches look as if they are woven, but they are not.
Make this stitch in vertical columns. It’s stitched using Soft Sheen Fyre Werks in FT50.
Next week the last patch. Tomorrow, there will be a post on adding lines of beads to your design, using this tag as an example.
