I'm still not clear how I'm going to get brass rings onto it, but tonight I started implementing my idea for putting fringe on the narrow ends. I think it will look rather nice, even though it is a bit of a kluge. (But then, this project dates to the time when I was still doing most of my costuming with a sewing machine--to resume it now and expect it to look 100% authentic is unrealistic).
There will be photographs when there's some reasonable-looking progress, which may be in a few days.

Hi, Greta! Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm afraid I haven't finished my costume. The shawl is the last bit I had to complete. I haven't gotten to do any real sewing this year so far, unfortunately. When I do finish it, I'll post photographs--I promise!
I would be delighted to receive information about early Lithuanian costume reconstruction (even though it will reveal just how much I got wrong...) My e-mail address is cathy at thyrsus dot com. Thanks!
