Oh Frabjous Day!

The binding is done! The binding is done! Callooh Callay, I chortle in my Joy!

I am FAR too impatient to wait for a mail order to arrive, despite the good advice from sarahbellem and peggyelizabeth. I went to Michael's and got some brass jumprings, as recommended by myladyswardrobe, and pink cotton floss since I couldn't find silk buttonhole in the right color. I have marked out my lacing holes. All 60 of them. Remind me again why I thought lacing in front and back was a good idea?

Now I just have to sit down and start stitching...  

Hey sarahbellem, when you made your effigy that laced front & back, did you make lacing holes all the way down the back tabs or did you stop at the waist? I'm inlcined to stop at the waist, but I shudder to think I'd make a bad decision out of laziness... bbbwwwwAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*gasp* *ahem* sorry...

What size lacing rings would you recommend? I found some 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch. Thanks!

Mine are 7 or 8mm, so they're a lot smaller than those. I guess the 3/8" would be better... I'm not so inclined to have huge eyelets - just personal aesthetics. :)

I've never used them before so I didn't know what I should be using. I was clueless. Thanks!
