productive! sort of!

Although no photo proof because the phone appears to be playing games where it refuses to upload to Flickr, so that's cool. (Not nearly as interesting without pictures!) Haha! Victory is mine!

I've got just a smidge more time for the rest of the spring semester since one of my students wrapped up his English class last week, and that must have been Inspiring, because I did an eyelet here and there, and got the transitional stays to initial try-on point for today. The pieces are just basted together to check the fit, and considering the total lack of effort put into mockups and fitting, they're pretty good!
front stays
They look slightly weird and bulgy but...that's just my torso, lol. There will be shoulder straps put on at the end of it all, but they're resting pretty comfortably at my waist.

stays side  stays back
The back at the shoulder blades is just a titch roomy; if I'd already sewn the pieces together for real I wouldn't bother unpicking for it, but since they're just basted I'll pull them in at the seam maybe a quarter-inch.

HELLO POKEY MCPOKERFACE. I wasn't planning on binding with leather because lazy, but...I foresee getting stabbed in the armpit if I don't. I think I need to buy another chamois because I had some but it seems to have wandered off... at least they're cheap, heh.
