Rouleaux trim started

I'm copying this gorgeous spencer from the Chertsey Museum in the UK. I was lucky to inspect it in detail on a previous visit and hope to visit it again in 2017 to get better quality photos.

Preparing to transfer the design, and while I'm sewing I've worked out how it might have been sewn in period - not the way I've prepared it, and possibly would save a lot of time in the whole process.

Techniques as well as step-by-step how-to will be discussed in greater detail in my Kickstarter book at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1245085016/trims-frills-and-furbelows

2021 Update: I am working on a tutorial for a different way to make Rouleaux Trim - or, the way that trim was made for this particular garment.

Gorgeous...I can't wait to see the book. I have many gowns I want to make but I have hesitated because I lack the skills to do the types of trims you are showing. Thank you so much for this endeavor!!!
