Fabulous Tassels (Set of 3) – The Victoria Sampler

Create three elegant Hardanger “Tassels”.
Each Tassel has three sides stitched with overdyed threads and metallics and finished with a lacy Hardanger fringe. The Green and Gold Tassel has two overlapping skirts and the effect is just stunning. The Ruby Tassel has some delightful gold stitching on it and the Antique Tassel is long and elegant.
At the back of this leaflet you’ll find Lisa’s excellent step-by-step finishing instructions with colour photos. Please follow her expert finishing instructions carefully to get a great result for each one. You can use this finishing method for any three dimensional tassel design, no matter how big or small it is. Just be sure to adjust the measurements of the fabric. You might want to finish stitching your ornaments all at one time, as it will be easier to complete each of the finishing steps for all similar pieces together. As a hint, you can finger fold the edges around each piece more easily if you’re using linen or linen blend fabric, but if you use a man-made evenweave fabric, you may find that you need an iron to turn the edges and keep them stable while you overcast them together. The corded hanger is added during the last step, while joining the last side together with the easy overcast stitch.
These lovely Tassels will look gorgeous on your Christmas Tree for years to come
