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.

Goodies were found at garage sale!

My daughter insisted on stopping at a garage sale where she saw a table of stuffed animals and I found all this! 18 yards of wrights tasseled trim that was priced in store at $16 a yard, 2 yards green stripped tapestry, 24" x 60" tan linen with velvet ribbon detail, 24" x 48" square green upholstery fabric with ribbon squiggles, and these awesome odd pieces of fabric with colored velvet ribbon dots. Then a large zip lock of trims that included the odd ball trims laying on it and the big heavy multicolored cord that is 5 yards long! All this was had + 3 stuffed animals for $5.25!
