It is done!


It only took me a year and a half to do but the corset is done. I actually finished it back in September. I should mention that in that year and a half I had a baby and my sewing machine broke. So I have some excuse for not getting done sooner. The problem with a project like that is you can't exactly put it on and take pictures. I am sure a way could be found but I don't particularly want pictures of me in such a state of undress!
I spent the month of October working on the dress. That actually went a whole lot faster. I have made a dress from that pattern once before so it went a lot faster this time. The dress looks amazing. Isn't it funny that the part that everyone will see is the part that took the least amount of work. Oh well that is life.
The other reason that I have not posted about it sooner is that I didn't have pictures. I have been trying to coordinate with my friend Michelle (a photographer) to take some really nice pictures. We were finally able to get together this weekend and take some amazing pictures. I am so happy with the result. On a side note the chair that you see is one that I re-covered myself. That is another story for another day!

I'm a slacker.

I am not going to talk about how long it has been (more than a year) since my last post. I am going to pretend that like everything else in my life it is under control and I am on top of it all (ha ha). I finished my corset. I am so pleased with how it turned out. I will post pictures eventually. I also did a dress to wear with it. I was able to finish in time for Halloween. It took me long enough. Now I have to think of something do for next Halloween. I will try to be a better blogger at any rate.
