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...

By the way - I didn't use floss for mine, but I used normal sewing thread. This is because I used a silk floss on my old corset eyelets and the silk eventually wore away.

I can't TELL you how freaked out I am about this! I used linen canvas that I know is going to stretch and after all this work I just know this darn thing is going to need taking in. :-(
