Successful Mock-Up
Apr. 7th, 2018 01:19 pmLast night I finished ripping apart the first attempt at the mock-up of the c. 1901 corset from Corsets and Crinolines and sewed it back together with about 1/16" removed at every seam line. It fit very well, and the next time I'm ready to work on it - probably in two weeks - I'll cut out the real one and start it.
In other news, I started a 1930's summer sweater this week and am through the ribbing at the bottom of the front, and I am about a quarter of the way through my second 17th century garter. I also added the remaining skirt panels to my late 1790's dress. Next I need to trace the embroidery pattern on the rest of the skirt. Maybe tonight. I may have too many projects in the works, but they're all moving along, however slowly that may be.
