corsets

[elizabeth_mn]

Corset is cut out and pieces are labeled, now on to the sewing.  I plan to try the method in Truly Victorian's directions whereby the shell and lining pieces are joined at the same time, and each panel completely encloses the seam allowances of the last.  Previously I have preferred to create a separate shell and lining and stack them WS together, then either sew boning channels all the way through or apply bone casings to the surface.  That method works for me, but it's time to shake things up a bit and do something different!

I have a lot of chore/visits/obligations today so who knows if I will make it to the sewing machine until tomorrow, but here's hoping.
