Steampunk Waist Corset

I finished it. With probably minutes to spare. I should have been working on it on the Friday and Saturday nights, but anyway, I did it.

I was making soup with my man's Nan, this old school Italian soup and while that was cooking I was hammering away at the eyelets, cause I sure as heck didn't want to be doing those at midnight inside a house on a cold night! We had a late night and so I got up at 9:30am on the Sunday  knowing I had to leave to meet little sister at school (45 minutes away) at 1pm. The last panel was made up in probably 20 minutes! I quickly made up the cable ties bones and threaded the eyelets.

And after all that, it was only principles needed! So she didn't need it then anyway! So I drove around and talked to mum for a while who was parked around the reserve park thing. Took off home and got ready for my work mates Hens High Tea (which was to die for!). I think I'm finally come down from the sugar high.

And now I have another project. When I get on a roll, I get on a roll.

Pictures to come later of the finished corset. As I finished with only minutes to spare I didn't have time to take any photos. Mum assured me she will get some, cause the camera is constantly attached to her hand anyway.
