Progress Report

Just checking in with a progress report...

My 1910's corset looks funny in the closet right now since I sewed on half the lace. I'm still knitting the other half so it will continue to look funny for a couple more weeks at least. There are only five pattern repeats left to do on the lace, but I really only work on it when I'm away from home or don't feel like sewing so I don't know how long it will take.

I finished my first 1916 petticoat and cut out the second one excluding ruffles but haven't sewn a stitch on it yet. The first one was plain, but the second will have three small ruffles around the hem. I'll get to use my rolled hem foot, which I practically never use so that makes me happy.

My c. 1904 ribbon corset is coming along nicely. I've finished the front and the sides so now I just need to do the back. I expect to finish everything except the grommets tonight and to do the grommets tomorrow or Thursday.

1904 Ribbon Corset - Progress 3/27/16

Silk satin ribbon is wiggly, but it's so pretty.

Oooh the ribbon corset looks beautiful! Love that satin. (And glad I'm not the one sewing it!)

Lots and lots of pins - at least one every half-inch!

Wow, that's pretty! And just the right color of pink, too.
