elizabeth_mnI've been sewing too much to blog this past week. I had another sewing day on tuesday (I think. . . it all kind of runs together) during which I made 3 slips and some jammies, then cut out some pants for F. Easy modern time-filling stuff.
Then my boning arrived! Hooray! So I started in on the stays. About 2/3 of the channels are sewn. I'm making it from two layers of cotton twill, seamed first, then laid wrong sides together to stitch the channels. I realize this is technically the wrong way, but it's what I'm used to and I just want a useful foundation, not necessarily showpiece undies.
I've done about 1/4 of the eyelets, or one side of the back. Here's the center back on the right, right side up, next to the front on the left, upside down.
I'm using silk buttonhole twist for the eyelets, and I am in love. The right thread just makes everything easier.
