The trim on the top edge of the corset serves the same purpose as the trim on the bottom, but it can be fancier if you like. I decided to use an inexpensive, machine made, broderie anglaise. It is applied similarly to the bias used for the bottom edge, stitched on then folded over, except it is stitched to the interior of the corset,
and flipped over to the front.
The longer trim has to be gathered and distributed so it flows nicely across the corset.
Then it can stitched in place by hand. Mine is not yet stitched in place. I think we all know what I'll be doing on my lunch break today.

each time I check here, I'm getting sadder that my sewing machine died during the flatfelling, and the people from the sewing machine fixing place still don't know if they can fix up my baby. I so wanted to sew along, instead of sewing behind. Snif. But that looks like one fine scarf-transformed-into-a-corset! I'm absolutely jealous!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sad that your machine died! Hopefully it will be alive and kicking soon and you can get back to flat felling!
