Last night I got the boning channels and upper binding done on one side. I was hoping to use my lovely new set of bias tape makers for the boning channels, but with the thick duck canvas I used they would not fit into the bias tape maker. Sigh. So I had to measure each one as I was ironing it. Even though I used my 1/8" sewing foot, my sewing on some of the boning channels is still crooked or too far from the edge. I am not sure if I should rip it out and redo it, since it will leave holes in the silk. But the one in this photo really bothers me, see how far away from the edge it got?
Hopefully tonight I will get the other half done and can get the boning cut and put in. This corset uses a 1/2" bone next to the busk (which is good because the busk I bought seems pretty flimsy). Then I just need to bind the lower edge and do all the flossing. Almost there!
