Corset Progress

I worked on the corset this evening. I cut out the facings, finished flatlining all my pieces, and got half of it partly assembled. I'm using the technique that the_aristocat posted about here, which requires two rows of stitching on every seam, and I've done one row of stitching so far. My plan is to hopefully put the grommets in before I do the other row of stitching, so that if I have to tweak anything, it's easier. I already had to redo four of the gussets I had put in, because I put them in wrong, and I'd like to avoid doing that sort of thing again!

I do like how it's looking so far, though:



I have my first rehearsal for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tomorrow, so I likely won't get much, if any, sewing done. And then I have a caroling gig after work on Wednesday, so likely not any then either. Ideally, if I can actually crank out this whole thing by Saturday, and I can wear it to my gig that day, it would be amazing (albeit unlikely).

I got one more gusset and seam done today, but that's it.

But rehearsal was sooo much fun! We choreographed the Bombie Samba (I'm playing the Baroness), and I don't think I've danced that much in a long time. It is so fast and so much choreography, but our director/choreographer is amazing, and all the other dancers are incredible, and it is going to look so good!

Hopefully I'll have some energy to work on my corset after my caroling gig tomorrow, though it's probably unlikely.
