frualeydisThe first piece of my hand sewn effigy corset is finished; except for lacing holes and binding, which will be done when the corset is finished.
It's made from hand woven linen, probably made by my paternal grandmother, or by her mother. The thread is linen and it is waxed before sewing to smoothen it so that it doesn't get worn.
I started sewing the boning channels yesterday and continued after dinner tonight. I would guess I've worked seven hours on it. If I continue like this it may be finished in time for the Winter Games. Tomorrow I'm going down town to get some chamois leather to bind it with.
