Hi,
I'm making a linen under tunic / light weight "summer" tunic and I have a decent amount of fabric left over - perfect size for a focale! The piece I'm using is all "cut edge" with no selvedge, so it's going to fray like crazy. Should I hem it all around to try and stave that off? Or would having the frayed edges be more historical? I'm thinking if focale were made from "left over" bits of cloth, that would seem to be likely. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Adrian
