@dillyd that's so much work!!

[mandy@cupoftea.social]

@dillyd that is stunning. Is that a form of crochet?

[dillyd@turtleisland.social]

@mandy it's machine made. I bought it off a large bolt many years ago. Made my prom dress out of it, with turquoise background

@sean oh it's machine made, I didn't make it.

@dillyd are you sure? It looks very hand made to me - but I'm no expert.

There is a traditional craft local to me that looks exactly like that

@sean
I bought it from a large bolt of fabric, surrounded by other bolts of similar designs and colors, in a fabric store.

@dillyd it's beautiful

I thought it was a labour of love

A friend who used to make Dorset buttons passed on this year - it reminded me of her.

I can't imagine how a machine could do that
