Reeding?!

[mlsdesigns]

My boning channels are all sewn and the reeds are all in! Remember how my reed never came, then I emailed her and she said she'd send me a few lengths to be a size guide? well, the 'few lengths' she sent seem more like half a roll, so I had plenty to bone (reed?!) my stays :D
I got so much done yesterday. I finished the panel I started on Monday, and did another panel and started the first front on the bus on the way home. Last night when I went to bed I only had one and a half channels left on the first front! I'm amazed at how quickly I'm getting through these stays :) although, I have a feeling I'll slow right down when I start binding!
I'm now about to start the eyelets. Why did I decide it would be a great idea to have them open in the front AND the back!??!

Haha, I'm kind of at the same point with my stays, and I'm also kind of not looking forward to front and back eyelets!

I was so pleased with how quickly I got them done, I was a bit crazy and didn't let myself have a break until I'd finished each panel, and my breaks consisted of a trip to the kitchen for more chocolate, so I was nice and motivated ;)

Why? Because you are crazy. :P That being said, I think these stays will be super pretty! I love the color linen you picked.

Yeah, that sounds about right ;) It's such a pretty colour isn't it? I wanted a colour, but nothing too dark so I can wear them under a chemise dress.
