Linen safari dress with quilted seams and bead embroidery on collar

Initially i wanted to try out the tips from Kennteth D. King book "Designer Bead Embroidery" book that i had just purchased. The safary theme came with the colour of the fabric i bought and this is the outcome.

Bead embroidery on the collar is my first attempt and oucome is only remotly similar with the pattern from the book :). The difficult was to find similar beads since the ones i bought were not with good quality and size varied a lot.

This looks very comfortable. I love that tiny patch pocket! Great job. Posted: 8:16 pm on August 18th
