I've been sewing like mad lately. I realized that when a friend asked me what I did all weekend and it pretty much included "In the morning, I sewed, after lunch, I sewed...and while Vince was out in the evening, I sewed."
But I've been working on lots of fun projects!
One of my favorites is an 1860s Silk Corset, and a White Cotton Coutil Corset. I'm making two. :) My Beth Miller corset has given me years of pleasure, but it's about to bite the dust. I've been dying to make a corset for ages.
I made one corset before using the Past Patterns kit and directions, but I was unhappy with the results. This time I'm armed with new directions and a pattern drafted from my Beth Miller corset. :)
Notice the supplies above - the silk cost me $0.50 + Tax. Isn't that wonderful?!?
Laying out the pattern pieces
So far I've gotten all of the pieces sewn together. Now for all of the finishing details!
Oooo! Just dreamy!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! i've been needing a new corset for a long time now. but i just haven't gotten around to making one yet. i like the idea of making two (a fancy and a basic one) at once! hm... i would love a silk corset for ball and parties! :)
