I cut the new front piece for my red silk corset and attached it.  I haven't gotten any farther than that yet but I can already tell it's going to improve the fit a lot.  Today I hope to put the busk in and stitch the boning channels.

I've enlarged the bustle pattern from Corsets and Crinolines. I wonder if I should do a mock-up or if I should just go ahead?  I think I might just dive into the actual fabric and see what happens.  I don't have a whole lot of time before the state fair's handcraft drop-off day.

I finally started the outlining on my new embroidery piece.  I'm a pretty slow embroiderer, but I still hope to have it done for the fair.

I also finally started on my HB's organic denim natual-indigo-dyed jeans. 

So things are happening!  I think if I can stay focused on my few current projects, and not daydream too much about things I will be sewing a month from now, I'll keep making good progress.
