i bin sewin!
Feb. 13th, 2008 09:45 pmi've made mummy's chemise and her corset is all sewn together, bones is in and the bust gores are waiting for a fitting to be sewn in (they're just pinned at the moment) i have false backs (lacing strips) and i sewed the front shut and put a couple of bones in to pretend to be a busk. i work on the principle that i'm likely to need adjustments front and back so i don't finish them till the very end, especially when i'm using a fabric that shows pin holes :)
her chemise is lovely i think, much more fancy than mine :( it has lace at the neck and hem and cuffs, and tucks at the hem too! i may be steelin it :)
i'm going to do another fitting with her today or tomorrow and will take photos then, i have to make some drawers first though, as the fabric for the chemise is very thin!
only trouble is, i really want to get on and just make her bonnet!! she can't really go to a ball in undies and a bonnet though, can she, however gorgeous it is!
