Re: Beating Your Worst Enemies: Wasted Time and Effort by Laura Loft
Posted on Friday, 05 March 2010 by burlesquecorset.This is WONDERFUL! I am by far my own worst enemy! I do the same thing, worrying about what to do at the next step. I have carpal tunnel, so I do not write down notecards but print out ideas/techniques, put them in page protectors, which are indexed in binders. It works well for people who...

Re: Recreating the 1880s corded corset, step-by-step by Jema Hewitt
Posted on Wednesday, 24 February 2010 by jema.Yes, thats the usual way for channels in earlier corsets definitely - but these are just so tight and stiff and narrow you couldn't get the eye of the bodking and the stiff string through them I don't think!.

Posted on Monday, 22 February 2010 by galadriel.This is gorgeous, and what a stunning shape! I will be giving it a go! I usually mark out ny channels with a pencil/ruler, sew them using a standard foot and then pull the cord through using a bodkin, which takes me hours for a small section (but looks very similar...
Re: Experimenting with Steel Boning Types by Jenni Hampshire of Sparklewren Corsetry
Posted on Monday, 22 February 2010 by galadriel.This was really interesting, I have allways used 7mm spiral steels, but I will be trying out some 5mms now, for sure. I agree that it would be interesting to further this study by looking at Edwardian diagonals, cording etc. All in all an excellent and informative article, thankyou!

Posted on Sunday, 21 February 2010 by dazeoflaur.Jenni, thanks for the compliment I enjoyed reading your article as well! Manipulating fashion fabrics is super fun although time consuming Bernicia, the pink stay and the blue & gold pseudo 16th/17th century stay were quite fun to make I'm sorry I didn't actually have the time to do more...
