Sewing Gage

Had a fitting with Mark (aka Cybil ) today, and the corness isn't looking too bad. A few adjustments, I need to add the rivets and then it's finally done!

As mentioned before, every month I go to, in my opinion, one of the best night's in London, Cybil's House , hosted by Cybil of course. I put an idea to Cybil to create a combination of a corset and a leather harness. I'm going to call it a corness. The material used was a faux leather from Dalston Mill fabrics. This was of my own design and I set about creating the pattern. Initially  I was going to just sew the straps to the corset part, but i wanted it to be all one piece and the straps grow out from the corset. I wasn't entirely happy with my sewing between the panels, so, to resolve this I got some trimming to cover up my bad work and I think it actually enhanced the piece.
