I have an old, unfinished doyley my Grandma had been making which inspired me to lend my hand. The motif that you see is worked in Broder cotton, an absolute favourite of mine. It's easy done, with pad stitching underneath the buttonhole. What's that called, when you work the buttonhole close like that, to make it Satiny? Some French name... Broderie Perse? At the moment I'm working on some Reticalla lace with Buttonhole Bars and Detached Buttonhole, can't show you my design yet but I will.
The fur fabric is peeking through.
P.S. If you follow the 'Directions' link at the bottom of the page on the 'Reticalla' link you'll find some good info.
