The basic corset pattern was chosen from 4 possibles and my ten designs are all for the same corset style. The 'unveiling' was a great day where everyone in class in turn laid out all of their designs .... backs, fronts, and sides, and after much discussion we all voted on which of each persons designs would be the chosen one that they would make. 

Some designs were so professional and artistically drawn, some were fun, all were very stylish, and some were simply stunning. I was not at all confident about mine as I've never done anything like this before but I seemed to do ok.  The spider web one was quite popular and raised a few smiles but we decided it was a bit too Halloweeny!

I'll be making the one designed around the columbine flower, furthest to the right in the photo. Next stage is to make 6 textile samples :)

I managed to complete 10 different designs for a corset and today is the day for revealing all!  Although I don't actually have to wear them I feel as if I will be .....  but hey ho, it's just a bit of decorated paper that's on show ...

Are your threads a 'Tangle in a Tin'? Or are you a neat and tidy person who winds them onto cards and colour coordinates them in a box? 

A 'Thread on a Peg' is a great way to keep your threads and they look so pretty displayed on your work table in a wicker basket.


If you're a 'tidy' you can still colour coordinate them in your basket ..........
