Stripes

DESCRIPTION

Choosing a theme can help the decision-making process, ie, how can that theme be pushed further.

Stripes 1 worked well before the yellow ric rac was added, but became much richer with the added detail of the yellow ric rac flowing lines.

Stripes 2 has cord applied to make a washboard effect – corrugated in one direction, soft in the other.  Children might also choose to just play with the tufted ends of the cord.

PLEASE REFER TO THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION BEFORE COMMENCING
