A whole new dimension of fray

green_marthaAKA : the satin of Doom (tm).
Only on hte third try did I manage to get a reasonable tube of the brown satin - to turn into cute bows for the sleeves. First try was assembled by hand, second by machine with a small (kitty-sized) zigzag stitch, both of them frayed so much that the tube of fabric ripped apart when I tried to turn it inside out. Annoying.
I need to put a ruffle around the neck and down the front, and am now seriously doubting that the fabric edge can remain untreated. And I DON'T want to hem all that lentgh by hand... *sigh*
