Sewing Embellishment Technique: Furrowing

Step 3Finished!

Finished!
This is how your sample will look from the front (main photo) and from the back (second photo).

If you want smaller peaks and valleys, you can takes additional stitches between the marked dots until you are satisfied with the outcome.

For Ella's sleeve cuff (final photo), I did not start in the center, I started at one end and worked my way around the sleeve. I also didn't mark the locations, but after the first try, you'll see that it's not entirely necessary if you're not looking for absolute symmetry. For Ella's sleeve, I was simply looking for the illusion of movement.

In my next project (a sleeve for my *own* blouse!), I will use tiny beads in each stitch.

I hope you will enjoy furrowing. I'd love to see what you create using this technique in your own projects!
