Jul. 2nd, 2009 01:00 amI got everything done today that I needed/wanted to. *WOOT*
Adding the twill tape was interesting. I was told its a tailoring technique and it makes perfect sense, or at least it does now..... Part of me was wondering why exactly this step was needed, since I have never had to do it before. And then some little lightbulb went on! DUH because its on the bias. So yea I am feeling all smart even if I am kind of stupid to have not gotten it right away. It worked wonderfully once I coaxed the actual fabric with some ironing.
For the modesty panel I did a grid like pattern with my sewing of the boning channels. It was an experiment but I think it will work wonderfully. Bones went in smoothly so YEA!
I even got to marking the gromment holes for my Steampunk corset. I tried putting one in but gave up because Hubby is already asleep. Hammering that late would not be a good idea, so tomorrow.
