As I was working on the Sirona gown I toyed with the idea of making a neck choker or decorative neck piece to go with it. This is what that idea turned into............
Using some of the left-over pale gold satin I cut a strip 11" by 1" and used a soldering iron to set the edges in a decorative scalloped effect. I also cut out three randomly shaped triangles of the fabric, plus another four in organza and finished the edges in the same way.
Then all I had to do was pinch, twist and arrange them in place on the neck band, hand stitch them in place and voila! It was satisfyingly quick to put together aswell - about an hour. I'd like to develop this idea further, maybe play around with the design a bit or even make it oversized and competely over the top!
