Video: Finishing touch on Maria's Dress

Finishing up a dress for my lovely friend Maria, who will soon be moving to France (sad face)...

Decided to try my hand at editing a short video of the hand-rolled hem.  Clearly I still have a lot to learn about video, but I think it's pretty decent for a novice attempt.

As for hand-rolled hems, they do take quite a bit of time (this hem took me about two hours, although I'm sure I'd be faster with more practice...) but they also are perfect for this lightweight silk and really add that extra bit of finish to an elegant dress.   If she'll let me, I'll try to snap a picture of the finished dress on Maria on Thursday.
