Hemmed the painted petti today - took longer than anticipated because I forgot how fussy a small hem is on this fine voile.
Also, it struck me that I might theoretically spangle an entire dress and then manage to melt it all with an iron... so I tried out a couple of my fakey-fake spangles, and even under a press cloth they still warped. I suspect that when the iron's hot enough to flatten the cotton, it's just too much for the spangles. And I really cannot make an entire dress that can't be ironed! Hmmmmm.
