Crafty post.
So it's been a while. Much has been said, done, considered, debated, ruminated, bandied about and/or achieved. In the meantime, here's a hot picture of me: Ha ha. I made that corset (and the skirt, incidentally) myself, and I'm fairly proud of it. I always thought this was something so out of my league of sewing ability that I was intensely suprised to find that it worked. One day I will make these things for other people, but I must get some madskillz first, especially in the 'fitting patterns to sizes other than my own' department. This particular model comes from an original 1880's pattern, has 24 spiral and spring steel bones, and closes completely at 21 inches. It was inspired by a mix of marie antoinette, the wild west and ikea fabric, and was triumphantly worn to a canadian-themed vintage ball last weekend. Pip pip, hurrah. More pix in Picasa, so do click on the photo and be transported. In other news, I am going to Hobart tomorrow for the Tassie swing exchange and also to visit the mater. Bring on the snow, bizznatches. |
