Corset cut out

mala_14I was good today and got my corset cut out, coutil and satin, minus binding and boning casings. The amount of the satin that is going to be left after I've cut everything out will probably fit into a thimble. I'll have to take a picture. There's hardly anything!
I want to do a really good job with this corset, so tomorrow plan on basting together the coutil and satin along the seamlines of each piece, which are marked in pencil on the coutil. That will give me a guide for when I sew the seams together and it will prevent the various pieces from moving around. Also, since some of the pieces have 1/4" seam allowances and some 1/2", it'll prevent me from messing up those too. (The 1/2" ones are going to be felled. The 1/4" ones get covered by boning or are under the felling.)
Once I get the busk in and the seams sewn, I'm going to measure it for the boning and then order that. I still need to cut the facings for the CF and CB. So much to do! And I want to finish it this month. Yikes!
