I bought this M'Fay pattern and couldn't resist making a sample to try it out. I only had a scrap of trim, not enough for the whole width, and I used curtain lining instead of a contrast fabric. The pattern includes the rosette shape - I sewed a spare dress-making button in the centre to add some sparkle. If you have made pinch pleat curtains then you could make this........

The rosette stitched at the top of a pleat (which is gathered rather than folded)
