She suggested we start a sewing project we had been planning since last summer:
Corsets.
I met her at the local Joann, and we bought patterns, one that we (mostly) made Saturday, one that we're saving for a later date. (The ones we are saving for a later date are more like steampunky waist-cinchers, the ones we did today we plan on wearing to the Ren Faire.)
We had no clue what we were getting ourselves in to.
From about 1:30 to 9, we pretty much continuously worked on these goshdarn corsets.
Linsday sewing dilligently
I hope it ends up being worth it-- specifically, my many trials in this corset-making venture.
First, I neglected to follow the seam allowances, because that's how I tend to roll. I'm quite stubborn.
I had to sew every seam TWICE, to make each seam allowance bigger. *sigh*
Then, I realized that I had sewn in one of the panels backwards. (thankfully, it was before I sewed in the second seams. Crisis averted.)
