After finishing the fly stitch sampler, I found these pictures of this green tunic, in which the whole embroidery was worked in fly stitches with zardosi beads.
Two panels and sleeves were worked in this tunic.
The panels with fly stitches-
The completed panels with zardosi beads-
The detail of the panels_
The sleeves had a border pattern made of these leaves.
The sleeves with fly stitches-
The working of zardosi beads on sleeves-
The Completed sleeves-
These embroidered pieces are sewn on a green tunic.

The tunic looks very nice. I like the way you have mixed stitches with fly stich. One can make small borders in a blouse sleeve or neck using these , very easily. Thanks for the sharing.
