I must fix it, its BAROQUE...

Yeah I know, bad joke. I am going to parlay my very much unfinished Baroque corset into the #16 challenge somehow. I will have to look through the terminology later, as right now I need to be sewing. There is a lot of it left to do (especially since a piece went missing and had to be recut/boned), and I am not completely sold on the actual shape of it. I am worried that the straps may end up being a bit too wide, and possibly the back too high. I will need to do a fitting and then decide, which would have been MUCH easier had I made it close in the front AND back, but I didn't want to hassle with re-working the boning placement. That was probably a mistake.

Challenge #16: Terminology

Yep, I did it again--which means I did nothing. Seems like life is always getting in the way of sewing for pleasure, but I am going to TRY and get something finished up for the Challenge #16: Terminology. I have till Monday so am off to sew...

Update...

It has been forever since I have been able to update. We have been very busy, and a simple move from one location to another that was only about an hour and fifteen minutes away, turned into a major undertaking that took weeks to recover from. We have been decently settled, I would say, since sometime in June, but there are still things that need to be done. My youngest son's sports took up much of the summer, and now we are into the football season and school starts next week (you can't see it, but I am so doing my happy dance). I am looking forward to a bit of quiet during the day and a chance to get into a routine again. Maybe this will give me time to actually sew.

It is almost the end of the Historical Sewfortnightly 2014, but I am going to make an attempt to get in on a few of the challenges before it is over. We will see what happens...
