Fringe

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.

Tying Fringe for 1876 Dress

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.

The cherry on top is being able to stashbust, which makes one extra pious* about finishing any project. Outstanding!
