I have nearly completed my pteryges. I proceeded to make mine out of layered linen. I used a coarse canvas type linen and enveloped the entire stack in a "finer" white linen. The outside finer linen was made into a raised edge and secured using a gold thread. The natural fringe of the linen is twisted into a rope pattern. I have three rows of pteryges, where each strip is about 6.4mm thick and about 6.4 cm wide. These are measurments for the leg skirt. The arm dimensions are exactly half of the le skirt dimensions. Once I complete them, I will post some pictures.
