I have bought a Steampunk style dressmaking pattern and am toying with the idea of making my own corsets.
I have realised that upholstery and curtains are ideal material for corsets, and have bought a couple of old tapestry/ brocade style curtains to use. (Also cheaper than buying material).....(do you remember when people used to make and knit their own clothes because it was cheaper than buying ready made?)
I'm actually quite excited about it and am picking up all the bits (eyelets, boning, cording, etc) from ebay.
The only thing I'm worried about is my sewing machine not being able to cope with it. Maybe I need specialist needles. I must investigate this further.
Oh and the shorter skirt! Can't WAIT to make that one!
