Back to Square One

I was halfway through sewing on the ruched tulle last night, when I decided it just wasn't working.  There was something missing. I had the pale dusty rose tulle, and the dark wine pleated ribbon, but there was no medium pink to tie into the pleating on the skirt. I would have liked to have used the medium pink ribbon with a narrower wine red on the edge, but I only had the medium pink in one very wide width. Maybe I could figure out a way to make the medium pink ribbon narrower.  So, off came the ruching, and off came the pleated wine ribbon.

So, this morning I drew a pen line 7/8" from the edge of the entire wide pink ribbon, cut the ribbon down, Fray Checked the edge. After it had dried I zig-zagged the Fray Checked edge, and sewed a narrow wine red ribbon over it. So now I'm right back where I started yesterday morning, but this time it should work out better. Like I said - this dress has a mind of it's own.
