Finished hand-sewing gold lace on edge of hemmed fabric strip for 1580s\/1590s head-on-a-plate ruff. Now, I guess I start cartridge-pleating the ruff and\/or make the neckband — that is to say, assemble the ruff?<\/p>\n

Later that day…<\/em><\/p>\n

Fingertips iz sore. Finished cartridge-pleating a smidge less than 4 yards into a 16″ neckband. Didn’t attach it to the neckband because I needed a break (and may have to redo the neckband as it doesn’t look like the right size).<\/p>\n

Holding the thing up to my neck, it look like a clown ruffle. A gold-edged clown ruffle, but still.<\/p>\n

I found some vintage curling irons with wood handles on eBay for $4 (shipping included). Between that and loads of starch and steam, I hope the ruff will look less clown, more 1590s.<\/p>\n
