I posted a photo of the bra and it's memory thread coat hanger yesterday. I'm reposting it so you can compare a Before and After photograph to see how a background changes the design.
I used a crochet filet lace pattern I found on the Internet for the background. Whenever I want to use a darning stitch-type pattern I look at SuZy Murphy's Darn Stitches first. If there isn't a pattern there, I look at Brenda Hart's books as they usually have a few included. If all else fails, I use Google to search for "free filet lace crochet" designs. You'll find many such patterns, including "small deer" which is what I used, here.

I still need to finish the top partial row and then do another column down the right side. Hopefully I'll finish that tonight.

ReplyDeleteLove the Deer, Jane. OK... now you've got me thinking... Actually I was thinking about a Kitty themed background for the Kitty Bra & Tap Pants. Great minds we are, indeed.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the deer, Robin. You could always write Meow over and over and over again....
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies. Glad you like the leaping deer.
