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.



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

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