Sewing Project for a Renaissance Faire!

I posted a few days ago that I’m working from simplicity 3635 and I’m making a corset with over 30 yards of boning in it, wowsers, I have a few pics of the start of this project that I thought I would share.

One is the pattern pieces cut out and a close up of the striped fabric I’m using.  The skirt will be absolutely beautiful (Mccall’s 4090) it’ll be olve and rust colored panels, I’ll post pictures of that when I get started on it. I’m also making a man’s costume for my boyfriend, I’ll post that as it progresses.  And… I’m making a jet black corset (same pattern) for my best friend, it’ll be so awesome! Needle work and embroidery will need to be done on the corset in the colors from the skirt, I love details!
