Special Stitch Patterns

Any one of these patterns would be great for a fishnet look for a flared sleeve. I made an entire halter shirt with long flared sleeves and a pair of flared leggings (worn over a black leather bra and black hotpants) using the festoon stitch. It took me less than 3 days and the result was fabulous!
