After the sewing machine goign on strike, the new corset faces a new challenge : I lost all my busks, except for one which is too long. Awesome.
Edit : Hmmm wait, I've also lost my boning !

I swear it's cursed !
Nov. 18th, 2010 01:11 pmI found the boning and busks - hiding in my son's closet.
Buuut...
- I'm out of end caps for the spiral boning
- my lacing strips (the one I can quickly sew on for try-ons) are gone
- TheBitch doesn't have a zipper foot to sew the busk into the mock-up
When I'm feeling alive again I'll hop into the car, bring TheTank to the repairman and hope they have some of the notions I miss... I have high hopes for the zipper foot, white embroidery floss would be a bonus. But first, it's lunch time, and I'm feeling like a pond of melted butter again...

This is getting ridiculous !
Nov. 18th, 2010 05:59 pmThe Erris corset saga goes on and on... I suspect there's something in the air, and the world is trying to prevent me from showing you pictures of my mock-up. Granted, it's fugly, but still ! I want to show you that I did sew ! But look at that :
- I lost the DSLR charger
- TheTank went on strike
- TheBith missed a foot
- my corsetry supplies went into hiding
- after all this was resolved, I dutifully assembled the mock-up, put it on, took (crappy) pictures, only to discover I didn't have a software to upload them onto the computer anymore
- and after said software was installed, I no longer had the permissions to access the area where I store my sewing pictures.
I think the universe is trying to tell me something. DON'T SHOW YOUR CORSET PICTURES TO THE WORLD ! IT'S BAD !!!
Now all issues should be resolved but I'm somewhat afraid it's gonna start raining stones, fire and poisonous frogs if I try to post the piccies online... So for tonight, let it be said that I have a mock-up that fits (it's a mish-mash from my Doré and the Erris maternity corset from the Costume article on pregnancy and stays![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
msmcknittington linked to), I only need to make the lacing slits on the sides a little higher. I'm not entirely sure it will work for the last trimester but I'll make sure to check, and anyway, I need it for January, there won't be much watermelon-smugglig by then.
Errr yes, there IS something going on *big grin*
