The bling finally arrived from Turkey. I was beginning to get worried but it still arrived before I am even ready for it. Again, this is just a small part of the actual design -- DD won't let me show the whole thing. Cannot spoil the groom's first glimpse!
This weekend I put the
horse hair in the hem of the skirt. First, I pinned up the bottom where I wanted the hem, then I took out just a couple of pins at a time leaving just enough room to slip the horsehair into the hem.
I then heavily pinned the hem to keep the horse hair tight against the bottom of the hem.
After the entire hemline was completed, I basted in the horse hair and removed the pins.
That allowed me to trim back the edge of the hem to the top of the horse hair. I will use the same catch stitch that I used for the
seams to finish the hem.
Of course, all of this work will soon be hidden behind the lining of the ivory dupioni. So much work, and no one will ever see it again!
Happy hemming!
