Patty Rice replied to the discussion 'Christmas photo - corset' in the group Costume Making
There is a video for corset making on threadbanger.com.
Looks easy enough, but I havn't tried it.
I have made corsets using a pattern and they turned out really well.
Hope this helps.

Hi Katherine...I just read the post on "How to Sew an Easy Centered Zipper" ....again. My zippers are "just ok" looking and for this reason I shy away from making anything calling for a zipper that anyone might see. I found an…
Patty Rice commented on the group 'Refashion & Recycle'
I love refashioning things!!!!
I have turned a lined vest into a pillow, a beaded skirt into a purse, old jeans into a work apron to name a few things. I don't have any pictures to upload...yet. I am looking forward to inspiration and ideas.…
