some small bits of sewing

Because it's a Tom weekend and he requires lots of attention! Also we went on a seven mile walk yesterday because I sit on my ass all day at work so really need to be more active on the weekends when possible.

But I did get in a couple of hours of sewing as well. Decided that I was in the mood for the transitional stays.

I'm machine sewing the majority of these stays; they're rather experimental in a couple of ways, plus I want to make the dress to go over them sooner rather than later! I'll do the eyelets and binding by hand though, as I can't put binding on by machine half as nicely as by hand, and I'd much rather do eyelets by hand than deal with banging metal bits (plus I don't think I have any...?) I got the back pieces boned and sewed them together, as they're a front-closing model. They really don't look like much right now - well, let's be honest, they won't ever look like much lol - but here they are:


They're only four pieces - two fronts and two backs - so I miiiiight be able to get them boned next weekend? Although probably not if the weather is nice and I want to spend all of Saturday outside!
