The corset continues

[mala_14]

I'm still working on the 1908 corset for my article. I should have it done early next week, which gives me well over a week to write the article. It also keeps me on schedule for getting my June projects done, because once I finish sewing this, I can get cracking on my corded petticoat again. This week I have dyed my corset fabric using onion skins, curry powder, and tea bags to get a golden yellow. Unfortunately it dyed a little unevenly, but as it's not too bad and it was an experiment anyways, I don't really mind. It's all cut out and I've started sewing. I had to stop because my camera battery died, so now I'm taking the time to post here while it charges. The baby blanket is about 90% done, which is good because I need to give it on Saturday. These three projects: corset, blanket, and corded petticoat, are what I decided I would get done this month. Next month I have a whole whack of new projects that I want to work on, so I'm really aiming to get these finished.
