Someone tried to go fast and it slowed them down. It was me.
The wrinkled panels on the right were not pinned correctly before sewing, and I had to redo my work a couple times, and it still turned out wrinkly.
I will never learn. -

I want a nap now.
What should have been quick took forever, and I’m not sure how I’m going to finish the bottom edge.* I’m not following a commercial pattern for this, and that’s starting to show.*not a request for help. There’s a complicated order of operations problem that I introduced by the way I inserted the hip panels. I will solve it be being a little messy.

#sewingToday I have to insert the cups. And I’m dreading it. This is just an under-layer. It’s fine. It does not have to be perfect, but my brain wants to start over.

Still a very funny object. Right side is fully sewn down and underwired, left is just clipped in. I think if I knew what I know now, I would have made a regular over-bust corset.

#sewingOnly thing left to do is bind the hem and hammer in grommets. This thing took at least three times my initial time estimate, but it is looking like a thing someone made on purpose, so that’s good.
