Steampunk Symposium Shoulder Detail: How To

Bella used a strip of faux leather as the base for the shoulder epaulettes.  Under the faux leather is a piece of thin cardboard glued to the fabric piece using fabric glue.  The cardboard is cut slightly smaller.  That left an edge of the faux leather for sewing.  She used a few stitches to hold the faux leather piece in place.  Then, sewed a tighter stitch when sewing the fringe on.
