Busy/tired Sparklewren…
Ooh, I’ve been busy today… lots more sewing of various items that I’ve had prepped and waiting during my time without my favourite Singer. Preparatory work (pressing, fusing, cutting, etc. etc.) is all well and good, but I never quite feel as though I’m making progress until I’ve done the bulk of the stitching.
It’s been a good day. Lots accomplished, no skipped stitches or unpicked seams, everything easily to hand, no interruptions, and good progress made with both a sample piece and couple of client orders.
The sample piece is going to be a mid-bust lattice corset, crimson damask taffeta with black ribbons. Not sure yet if I would prefer the exterior casings to be in crimson or black. Probably black. Anyway, I’m mostly working on it in-between orders (along with the rest of my crimson samples – I’m doing them as a little collection) so it will probably be a while before I have any fun photographs to share. In the meantime, here’s a link to a stunning antique R&G corset found courtesy of google.
