Tips for the Moon and Star Motif
The crescent moon is worked as a curved applique in yellow or white, with a small star beside it. Both are sewn onto the dark fabric so they glow against the night sky background. A touch of silver metallic thread along the moon edge adds moonlight shimmer. Keep the rest of the top simple so the motif shines.
