I have finally made some progress on the short stays. The bust gussets are in on all layers, and each layer is stiched. I decided when doing the mock up that the gussets really needed to be put in by hand to look good. As I am slow at hand sewing this took a while. All that is left to do is baste all the layers together, insert boning, and bind. Yay! I should have it done before the dress form arrives. I better have it done, as the form won't be here for about three weeks, and that would mean I was way to lazy.
I don't forsee much work being done tonight because PBS is continuing their "Complete Jane Austin" series with "Northanger Abby". http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/?campaign=pbshomefeatures_1_masterpiecetheatrebrthecompletejaneausten_2008-01-20 Needless to say, neither my husband or sewing machine will be seeing much of me tonight!
