Yesterday's sewing!

Yesterday's sewing! A little corset cover with a bust ruffle, a sort of old-time type of padding to achieve that iconic Edwardian silhouette. But also because I was just curious about how it worked and had small scraps of this very thin and soft cotton laying about. Still needs a waistband and buttons, and for me to finish the basted hems by hand, later.

I'm purposefully doing the hems and placket by hand so I have something to keep my hands occupied while I enjoy my shows, but that means I want to finish at least the button placket before I put on the waistband, so who knows what order I'm going to do things in, or when. But certainly I've got something to do when I do!

Oh, I'm also experimenting with a travel bustle pad. Maria from Sew Through Time had one in a recent video, where it was a sort of flat plane with ruffles on it, that you then made into a more 3D shape when you pulled the drawstring and it looked like one could make it entirely out of cotton and wash and iron it without issue, which is not true of any of the padded pillow type bustle pads. We'll see!

@valhalla Yes, that one! It seems like such an improvement over various little pillows that are a hassle to wash and store
