bustle

Sewing has finally happened here. I altered the bustle pattern the other day and then yesterday I bought some teal green cotton twill at work to make it up with. I got enough to make a matching corset in the future if I feel like it.

Today I got some time in the sewing room and it's about half together. I made exterior boning channels in black twill tape and cut a few bones. Tomorrow I need to cut the rest of the bones and get the side panels and waistband on.

I like the shape so far! It's big. Of course you can't really tell until it's all together but it's looking good.
