I was going to keep it like that to remind myself of seam techniques as I'm planning on making a second very soon, once supplies arrive, which will definitely get a posting. I may still post on the first though as the workshop led by Jema Hewitt (linked to on my blog) was the best thing I've done in ages - I learned so much! I have fallen in love with corsets too. I saw you had a link on your blog to the Symington(?) collection which is apparently kept in a museum very near to where I live so if I can get to view that there will definitely be an upcoming post. I've been working my way back on your blog and it's so interesting and such a valuable resource for someone just starting out.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068859188360245469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-72191641483879369682010-01-26T08:58:15.413-08:002010-01-26T08:58:15.413-08:00Cats!

Are you going to post the corset you made? I'd love to see it!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621589278068001456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-32547219140546876112010-01-25T16:15:10.057-08:002010-01-25T16:15:10.057-08:00And she wears dainty shoes while sewing!

Did my first corset at the weekend. Now it's demystified (slightly) I can see the attraction of working through Corsets and Crinolines. A great challenge and i'm full of admiration!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068859188360245469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-47997320600406411482010-01-24T00:32:18.229-08:002010-01-24T00:32:18.229-08:00I also envy her the lack of a quick-unpick - obvio...I also envy her the lack of a quick-unpick - obviously she is a more accomplished seamstress than myself....Vande Historic Costuminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916879165404283495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863349942481317862.post-50099059790735717752010-01-23T16:50:30.094-08:002010-01-23T16:50:30.094-08:00I know how you feel.

I felt very accomplished and pleased with the result until my mother came to stay and promptly flung things ALL over the place. Sigh. Tomorrow I pick up again. At least, for the moment, the cat is calmlly napping and not attacking anything importantCisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235120233640110968noreply@blogger.com
