Stitches

Just a little experiment I'm doing for a project I'm just starting on. I'm trying to see what the most is I can get away with using CSS3 border images, which is what the stitching on the box is. I've just been playing around with it at the moment. The stitching doesn't look that realistic at all currently. I plan on fixing that up once I can see things'll work out how I have it in my head.

If any of you have any similar stitching you've done or know of please share. I'm still doodling out what I'm wanting them to look like anyway.
