I love that you include the things that didn't work out well. It's so reassuring to see that in action from more experienced sewists because there are times when I just set the project aside because of one little thing and I never pick it up again because the negative self-talk kicks into high gear. Your corset is beautiful and the right embellishments will find you soon, I'm sure of it :) ♥
"I have now reclaimed my bones" is a pretty metal quote out of context
I actually like this idea. Wear a mockup in normal use for a bit then make the final from those edits. My favorite phrase comes from Adam Savage: Follow the process, not the plan. Even though you planned to do it one way in the morning and it changes, you're following the process.
I don't mention it much, but I went to fashion school as an adult. Encroaching mental illness makes it so that I never make anything now, but I
Thanks for not being perfect and for changing your mind. I thought it was just me being unskilled. You are highly skilled yet run into the same brick walls. It’s not the walls, it’s how you deal with them. ❤️
I fell off the Morgan wagon for idk how long but now I'm back, the almost historically accurate Morgan Donner has been replaces by her punk-light sister and let me tell you, it's wild but I love it!
Oh Morgan, this turned out beautifully!! The fit is chef's kiss. I wish you luck that the right pretty lace will find you soon.
In the best possible way, your fashion sense reminds me of a stylish history teacher, or an anthropology professor. Which is totally what I would wear if I had the courage to stand up to my stinky family. "You look so uncomfortable!" Me, dressed in corduroys and a sweater vest over a button-up, chilling on the couch: Nah.
Okay, but, your flossing looked so stunning and neat! Also definitely agree with your decision with the lace. Overall very beautiful!
On laying corset pattern pieces on the fabric, we were taught in sewing school that yes most times it’s better to go just straight grain, but there are instances where in corsets you can play with the grain a little to make the corset fit better, especially if you need very curvy pieces or some funky cuts. The only caviat is that you need to deffinitely know what you’re doing to do ot succesfully.
Morgan: waits two years to go from the final mock up to the final corset
The idea of corsets being like makeup, but for your outfits (or for your body) is brilliant.
I've unpicked an entire hand-knit sweater and completely started over. I feel you, dude.
Here‘s to starting over!
For fabrics like that silk with the sides different colors, I like the idea of using the other side as contrast details like binding and trims.
How timely! My favorite wool coat is getting rather threadbare and I've a beautiful 6 yd piece of green wool coating....
Your corset turned out beautifully! Projects are like a series of paths in a maze. Sometimes you have to try a few before you find the right one. Thanks for showing your decision making process!
I really like your current hairstyle. Also, this is the first time I see a Thread Up segment in someone's video that was interesting, fun, and that seemed genuine.
That, "I don't want to." is exactly how I feel when it comes to sleeves on dresses. 🤣😅 Lovely video as always.
This is great timing. I just finished my Morgan Donner binge, and once I crawled out of my cave of blankets and covers, there was MORE!
