...temps fou à couper ce qui dépassait. Sans compter celui que j’avais déjà passé sur les appliqués normaux et inverses  Assez parlé voici le résultat. For the first time in may I took part in a sewing contest organized by the French forum “ Les Fées tisseuses ”. The challenge gave me wing. I discarded Cinderella and Alice. Those are really too common in ours latitudes. I considered Little Red...

Hi ladies... a quick update on dischargie  's corset. So I got done quite abit this week and managed to make all boning channels at the seams. Yesterday night I set the last two seams. ...anyway ^^ I also just pinned the corset on Gwendoline, no bones are inside yet and it doesn't fit overly good, but you can see the killer shape quite well already :D Hugs & Kisses Ca
