Beginnings

Hi, this is my first ever blog, hence 'beginnings' so please bear with me while I figure out what I'm doing.

I'm hoping that this will be a bit of a crafty blog, sharing some details of what I make and how I make it. I've not been taking photos as I make yet so for a first posting here's a little bit of what I've been doing this week so far . . .


I've been experimenting with cording and fan-lacing and decided to just jump in at the deep end and use both on one corset. It's a cute little self-patterned corset waist in crisp white coutil with black lacing (pure drama). I've not managed to get great photos yet but here are some sneak previews.



During the making of this corset I was distracted by this fabulous pom pom flower fabric. I had to have it! Here it is all washed, pressed and ready to go.









Later . . .

I managed to persuade daughter no. 2 to put it over her shoulder while I took a quick snapshot. The style is a variation on an existing pattern I have and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Proper pics tomorrow and off to Etsy with it!



Bye for now.
