Bold and mad?

I just tried on the finished hand sewn effigy corset. I fit, but it was obvious that it was too long. The splits for tabs started two inches below my natural waist and even if they liked long torsos in the latter 16th century that was too long.
So I took a pair of scissors and cut through the fabric, seams, binding and reeds. Now I need to take away what's left of the chamois binding, secure the boning channels and bind it again.

At least that's a relatively easy fix....

Best of luck with it

Yeah, but I'm afraid the fabric is going to fray a lot. I think I will have to sew with it placed on a table and not bundled up in my lap as usual.
