New skill

Sometimes it takes looking at something in a dream to figure it out in real time, like this rolled hem on a piece of silk chiffon. It's the first go and a little rough, nonetheless, a serviceable hem. It is also an example of loving to have a moment of formality in a chaotic piece such as this (unhemmed below–Jan 18th post). Something about how a simple hem kindly holds a piece so it can be viewed, particularly. One detail can reveal the artist's attention and signal the viewer that, even amidst improvisation and accident, the piece is not casual.
