Start of a long handsewing adventure

I carefully cut out all the lace motifs (this took a good few evenings work) and replaced them on all the layers and pinned.

Starting the handsewing... 

Each motif is handsewn round the edge to individual layers

I love how when you hold the layer up to the light the stitching sort of 'defines' the edge a little! I've only done the top layer so far, it took an entire day at the weekend, but this is still less time than I thought it would take so I'm pretty happy!
