All nine goddamned rows of ruffles.<\/p>\n<p>I used to think it&#8217;d be neat to someday make a can-can skirt or flamenco dress with rows upon rows of ruffles. How hard could that be? It&#8217;s all straight sewing. Sure, it must be a little tedious, but nothing that difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but the tedium will drive me out of my tiny little mind. Actually, it&#8217;s not tedious. Hand-sewing on trim is tedious, and in comparison, I enjoy that lots. But gathering and attaching all the bloody ruffles is just so frickin&#8217; fussy and bothersome. I&#8217;ve never liked adjusting gathers. It&#8217;s a major pain in the ass. Why did I forget this? Why didn&#8217;t I just leave it with a plain, unruffled red skirt? Because I had this silly idea about the ruffles edged w\/black and all that pouf and texture. Me and my great ideas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2141\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/sushi-hat-plain.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2141\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2141 size-full\" title=\"sushi-hat-plain\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/sushi-hat-plain.jpg?resize=200%2C174&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Thrift-store hat, waiting to be trimmed\" width=\"200\" height=\"174\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thrift-store hat, waiting to be trimmed<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;m two-thirds of the way thru.

Goody.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m so close! Three rows of ruffles, then I can hem the skirt. Then the dress itself is done, and I get to play with the hat! Last weekend at the thrift store, I found a red felt, saucer-shaped child&#8217;s hat that will be a great base for a frou-frou Victorian hat trimmed in ruched black tulle and sushi erasers.
