I'm not making an exact replica though, more trying to catch the general look of it. I've looked at other extant examples as well, to see what is typical, and what is optional.Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04095151411363232281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2110986536825447894.post-83754062581535619932012-11-16T14:17:00.506+01:002012-11-16T14:17:00.506+01:00I've been wondering how that is done.

I'm working on a set of Regency stays, but they're my first pair so I'm still figuring out how to tweak the pattern. The next stays I make I'd like to put more time and work into them like what you're doing.

I love your fine even stitches and the chain stitch in between.<br /><br />And I agree that cording is fun...and piping, too :)<br /><br />SabineKleidung um 1800https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187943106849398728noreply@blogger.com
