Vintage Oeillet Edging

I've been working on a one-shuttle edging by Mlle. Riego de la Branchardière.  I even made a video about it. Although it's absolutely fine and lovely in its original version, there were a couple of little things that I felt could be improved on so I decided to make tiny adjustments.  Really minimal!

If you look on the left, the two rings at the bottom of the edging end up being a bit on top of each other even when I try to make the joining picot a bit longer.  So I decided to add a picot to join them on the side instead of at the top.  I also added two stitches to the ring shown by an arrow to space things out a bit as I felt the edging was little bit "congested".

So here's what it looks like with those small mods:

So then I decided I needed to figure out a corner for it as I thought it would make a lovely handkerchief edging.

I tried different options, joining and chopping on my little sample.

Yes, this one seems to work out well!

Here's the handkerchief I'll use.

It will be a gift for mother-in-law.

I'm struggling to find nice ladies' handkerchieves nowadays.

This one was in my stash but I can't find any shops that stock them.

Maybe nobody buys them anymore...

I'll make another video with the modifications and how to make the corner.  I like vintage edgings and enjoy one-shuttle ones and I think this one is really pretty.  I hope some of you might enjoy this pattern too.

Best wishes,
