Corset continuation
May. 25th, 2004 04:26 pmI sewed the two layers of my corset, the outside is twill, the inside is linen. The sewing machine went all wonky and I had to try to use my own which I am not overly fond of because the tension is weird and I have difficulty controlling the speed. My mom fixed her machine though so I was able to use it again. I also discovered the lining didn't match up with the outside so I needed to redo that. Finally, all that's done. Linen is SO wonderful to sew with. I've started embroidering it. Both of the bust gussets are done. Next up is the busk pocket.
