A new method of applying trim, it’s simple and easy to do.. and of fers endless possibilities for the woman who sews. Peasant embroidery is created with a simple zigzag stitch across rows of cotton rickrack. Using cotton embroidery floss in a con trasting color, all you do is run the needle in and out of a bit of fabric at each “V"’ in the rick rack, crossing the rickrack from side to side. The stitch secures the rickrack while creating an intri cate-looking design. You’ll be amazed at the many different effects you can obtain with peasant embroider*. Equal ly attractive on solid colored fa brics and checked cotton ging ham, it can 'be applied to child ren’s clothes, sports outfits, and daytime dresses. In addition pea sant embroidery is suitable for oafe curtains, tablecloths, pillow cases, and towels. Delicate or bold motifs can be created simply by varying colors of embroidery thread and rick rack and by alternating sizes of rickrack. For fine detail on infants’ and toddlers’ clotnes, use dainty baby Legislative Highlights As now bills continued to pour in, the General Assembly cleared one major hurdle and marked up one major accomplishment. SB 72 is now awaiting ratification after both houses adopted a conference report which leaves State College without a comma to its name. The name as finally approved: rickrack in white or a delicate pastel shade. Regular size rick rack will work well on anything from girls’ dresses to cafe cur tains, while big, bold, and colorful designs can be achieved 'by stitch ing over jumbo rickrack. Alter nate rows of rickrack in varying sizes for still other effects. Another variation results from combining rickrack with cotton bias tape. You oan use quarter inch double fold tape or single tape which comes in one-half or one-inch widths. Just place the rickrack over the tape and em broider it in place. Each combin ation creates a new trim effect. Have fun with this new idea, and create your own original de signs for fashion with a flair!
