Working Some More

Feb 25/07

I put in the first bone in the corset, was very difficult to put it in per her instructions. Just before I sewed the seam together that the boning was to be in I read my sewing book on welt seams, and did it a little differently from the book. I found a different way to put the seams together. I then layed out the fabric for my dress, I cut out all pieces except 2 (sleeves ,and flounce)

I went and stitched the closure (busk) into the front of the corset. stitched the back seams in then flattened the boning (heated with an iron and placed it under a heavy book), then I marked off the area where I will place the boning .
