How would I do this?

Burda World of Fashion 08/2007 107 -Jersey Top. Per Burda: Cleverly combine ring-stripe and plain-coloured jersey. OK!!


I traced the pattern off this past January, along with 105, and it is waiting for me to do something... anything! I like the look of this top but I'm not crazy about horizontal stripes or long sleeves and that must be keeping me from going forward.

I don't want a good tracing to go to waste, so I put the linedrawing in Photoshop last night and started playing around. I think this would look nice using a vertical stripe and binding around the neck and armscyce.

I am wondering one thing. I can do this with binding no problem but what about something different?

I want the blue edging to stand away from the upper bodice instead of being bound to it. Maybe that would be called piping? Well, no, not piping exactly. Tipping? Binding? Edging? What am I looking for here???
