Blah mock-up 2.5

No pictures. I was too disgusted with this whole process. My latest mock-up with new back panels and gussets was somehow simultaneously better AND worse. I fixed the hip spring problem, but the very back gusset was all wonky. And then something was making the bust gussets sit too low, even though they were at the right height yesterday. I just don't even know. Gussets may not be for me. I may go back to shaped panels and mock-up #1, which I think was fitting poorly due to using some flats instead of something more flexible. The other problem is that I have run out of mock-up fabric, so I can't even test things out any more. I was hoping that by this time I'd be ready to get started on the real thing. But I went from a really nice fitting corset pattern base to a multitude of weird problems. It's just frustrating.

However, all is not bad in Sabrina-land. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is finally playing in Canada and the first episode aired this past week! I'm really enjoying it. I also went to the farmer's market today and got some scratch made doughnuts and raspberry sticky buns. Tried the doughnuts and they were pretty tasty. Looking forward to the sticky buns. I love raspberry! I also made cherry Jell-O the other day, so that's in the fridge if I want. And my mom made some Rice Krispy cake. So, although the corset is going rather badly, I have plenty of sweet treats to console myself with. ;p
