Silk Ribbon - First Stage<\/p><\/div>\n

There is a sparkly ruffle between the cuff and the hand on the Floral Glove Needlecase<\/a>, and of course we have to make it ourselves. You can’t go to your local needlework shop and say “Half a yard of Elizabethan glove trimming, please” with any prospect of success!<\/p>\n
