I am killing my wrists

[frualeydis]

In lieu of the hand sewn effigy corset, boned with reeds and made from hand woven linen i have started on a corset with a slightly curved front, inspired by Melissa's experiment with that. It's made from two layers of cotton and one layer of charcoal silk paper taffeta. The boning channels will be done by machine. This is supposed ot be finished this weekend or so. Depending if I can be bothered to bring Maja downtown to get cable ties tomorrow. The only shop I know of that has them is in the basement and almost impossible to get into with a pram. There are escalators, but they are followed by normal stairs and my body isn't up to carrying things. I have sewn 17 of a total 30 lacing holes tonight while watching the three first episodes of Pride and Prejudice for the millionth time together with Anna.
