mandie_rwBe proud of me, people; I finally unpacked my last bag from Dress U today (it was in the trunk of my car til yesterday) and washed my shifts and chemises! It's only been how many weeks?
I hate binding stays. I always forget that part, in the "yay, new stays!" mindset I get into, but the binding's the worst part! Yes, worse than eyelets, to me. Ugh. Worked on it for hours today, and this is where we are right now:
Two movies (The Duchess and Sleepy Hollow) and an album's worth of work in there, and yes, it's just the front of the tabs bound. Binding the tabs has been even more fun than usual, as this is the first pair of stays I've made since getting Costume Close-Up, where I learned that the binding on stays wasn't cut on the bias, but on the straight grain. Hm, yes, okay, we'll give that a try, sounds like FUN.
Because I don't puncture my poor fingers enough when putting on bias binding, right?
(Yes, I realize no one's making me do this...except me, and I'm crazy, you see!)
