Oct. 7th, 2010 11:50 pmI was sort of product-ful today in the sewing arena, and therefore feel good about myself.
I got most, if not all the rhinestones glued to the tails; I'm still waffling about putting another row at the very top. Also glued a few more of the missing scallops to the corset. I can only do a few at a time because of the way the hip gore wrinkles up; if I put them all on at once they'd dry sticking half off the fabric. Which would be less than helpful. So I can do a few each day on that, because it takes a few hours for the glue to dry.
And since I couldn't work on either the corset or the tails at a certain point -- and because I sat in the park for a couple hours this afternoon, since the weather was nice, and I wanted some hand sewing -- I got out the panels for my new 18thc petticoat, the one of the oatmeal colored linen. I pulled threads and cut the panels last night, so I had a nice time sitting in the park sewing. After gluing a few more sequins on the corset, I decided to work on the petticoat some more. At the moment I'm sewing the hem. Tomorrow I'll pleat it and put the waistband on. Might as well take advantage of the fact I want to sew it right now, yes? ;)
