Fringe

[atherleisure]

I started making the fringe. I didn't do a good job of timing it to see how long it's likely to take to finish the whole three yards, but I'm close to one yard after a few hours of work yesterday and about 45 minutes this morning.



I'm happy with how it's coming out.

I started hemming the 450" long strip of taffeta for the foot pleating yesterday too, but it's very tightly woven so my fingers tired after awhile. I'll try to strike a good balance between foot pleating and fringe.

I have five weeks. That should be plenty of time.

I know they machine hemmed them in the 1870's, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
