elizabeth_mnNo, I haven't totally abandoned them in favor of mittens.
The boning is all cut and inserted, except for the tabs, which I'll do as I'm binding them. I'm always afraid those little short bones will fall out and I'll lose them on the floor. I haven't cut the tabs apart yet either.
The short tab bones were a bit of a mystery last time for me. The boning diagram in Corsets & Crinolines makes it look like the edges butt up together, but it seemed to me that you'd end up with one little floppy bone that does nothing. So I overlapped the ends of the short bone with the adjacent long bone and it seemed to give the whole thing more structure. I'm doing the same thing this time.
I also added a couple additional bones at the sides; the diagonal side/front and side/back areas seemed a little sparse once I got them in.
I did swap out the beige twill tape binding for white. Why I'm not using bias I have no idea, but I'm hoping this will work.
