I have been looking for a supplier of the mirrors for quite some time. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, and cannot find them locally. Can you suggest a source?

I'd get a couple of similar mirrors and practice on other fabric before restoring your antique choli. Good luck!

I think some of the threads would be too far away from the edge and create an uneven edge. What do you think? I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
