Flossing

Sun, 03/27/2011 - 15:15 — Maggie

Flossing StartedFlossing Started So, dfr is almost finished her denim corset and it has pretty pink flowers for the flossing. And then of course she asked me if I'm going to do "real" flossing this time or "just" the criss-cross flossing like I did on my last one. Apparently I'm supposed to out-do her. So mine is going to be multi-colored, at least different colors for the leaves/grass and flowers. I haven't decided if I'm going to use any more colors, and I've only done the bottom of two channels so far.. but here's the picture. The top will definitely need something different, too.
Just to clarify: I'm not calling the fabric ripper an ass. Nor am I calling her a bumroll, bustle, farthingale, or any other body part, real or simulated. :p

Sometimes it pays to Google my name. Google images brought me to a photo of your flossing, since you mentioned the tutorial. Absolutely lovely work! I adore the design you created, and the corset looks lovely. The bust really is the most difficult part to get a proper fit, and the alterations needed are often a bit counter-intuitive.

I hope you don't mind if I share this with my viewers on FB. I think some of them will enjoy seeing it to. Smile

Mind??

Mind?? You're like.. a professional! And a corsetry celebrity!
Big smile You just made my week!

Excuse me while I go brag..

! It looks like a thistle.

LOL! It looks like a thistle. I love thistles. And I'm just an inspired enthusiast like you. The only difference is that I'm attempting to make my living on art and sewing rather than doing it as a hobby. As a result I end up making very few things for myself, so I bet your personal collection of costumes is more impressive than mine. Wink

!! But your tutorials!

I read your tutorials whenever I need to figure out what the heck I'm doing!
You are totally underestimating your own awesomeness.

minor correction

I didn't say "real" flossing ... I said *fancy* flossing. If I had green floss on hand the other night, I'd have done the same. Your thistle flowers look quite nice!

Fine, *Fancy*

Real, fancy.. whatever. You said my other flossing was inferior and not pretty enough. That makes it not real.
And I don't have any floss-- just a big collection of thread. The green is doubled up regular thread, the purple is top-stitching thread. I've also got some cotton thread I might experiment with.

It sounds like something was lost in translation.

Pffffttt!
