Jewellery Construction

M A K I N G 

It's taken me quite a few attempts to be able to construct my jewellery pieces. The method that I ended up using to create the secure loop at the top was as follows:

1. Cut a small strip of bondaweb and lay across the frayed edge of the fabric and iron on
2. Peel away bondaweb
3. Cut the same size strip out of a piece of thin black cotton
4. Iron the cotton onto the bondaweb
5. Lay the necklace/chain along the fold line
6. Machine stitch a straight line using invisible thread

After trying different ways I found that this way was the strongest, and I also found it easier to thread chains and yarns into the loop as  I had an extra piece of stiffening cotton to keep the loop upright.
