TAST 2013 - Sailor Stitch

This would have been easier to stitch on a flat surface instead of a sharp curve.  I put the stitch facing itself at either edge of the side then laced the arms.  I beaded each of the chain stitches in the top and bottom edges and placed a bead of a contrasting colour at the join of the arms.  I quite like the band effect.

I like this one, too. MIrror images of stitches make for a pretty band effect.

Yes, it makes a good band.

It does make a delightful braid-like pattern, doesn't it...
