I am almost finished with the Queen's Ruff. My pleater board worked great. and I was able to take the ruff out of the hoop and cut out the rest of the parts and begin to put them together.
I sewed her head on and added her earrings. I put in the feather and comb and pearl on the top of her head.
I laced the four pieces together leaving pockets for the thread winders.
I am very happy how it turned out.
I have two minor problems. I found this:
It is a piece of batting.
I don't know where it goes. Oh well. Pitch it.
Then I am missing one thread winder. It is here somewhere, I just have to find it. I still have to wind thread around the thread winders. I haven't checked out the 15th lesson so there may be a few minor things left. But I can certainly finish it today. Happy dance!!
I walked outside again today. How lucky am I?
Looks like the cotton batting is padding for her face?
