I trace all the sewing lines with disappearing ink:
Then I stitch them:Isn't that exciting? haha
I just had to take a picture of this cute little thread, it looks like doll size yarn or something.
Started putting the binding on!
It's starting to look like a corset, finally!
I'm going to have to take a couple of the boning peices out though I'm afraid. I used random boning, some plastic, some metal and I had this roll of vintage boning which seems to have been curled up too long to ever lay flat. So I think I need to take the vintage boning out. I'm almost out of boning though so I'm going to have to make a trip to the fabric store before I can do to much more. But there's lots of seiwng on the second half I can start on! *sigh* Am I really only half way?

And the ever so faithful Jebbers: (he is such a gentleman while we ignore him as we madly sew)
And that was the mad sewing weekend. :) Today I'm cleaning like crazy so I can start some more sewing soon. My Etsy shop is in great need of new things to wear I think! :)
wow looks like fun! I wish I had friends to come over and sew with me, sigh, none of my close friends are into my sort of things. :( but hey, I'm glad you girlys had a great time and the corset is looking great! that little thing of thread is too cute! :)
