Thanks very much I would appreciate that! You're quite right, the problem is caused by terrible posture. I am always slumped so much that every picture I see of myself looks like I'm a cro-magnon woman! That's one of the reasons I love corsets, They FORCE me to sit up straight, which looks so much nicer. Unfortunately if I relax my concentration for even a minute there's that ominous creaking as the corset fights a loosing battle!
Thanks for your help. Iwill definately follow your advice. I think I can manage that level of repair!

I feel terribly ashamed now! I'm not that far along. Today I altered the original pattern to your measurements and started cutting the fabrics. after that its lots of basting and tacking, then i can start sewing them together. (yey!)(its taken me so long to proove that damn pattern) but no need to worry, pretty soon the Fear will kick in, and i'll hopefully have a post a day for you.
oh, yes, one question i needed to ask, do you want matching or contrasting binding? (on the one above, its conrasting, blue on red) I was thinking a soft tan or antiqu-y gold. maybe? or do you want me to attempt to colourmatch your fabric?
and would you forgive me if i didn't hand sew the eyelets?
please?

Emma, thats why i love the sitting on the edge of your seat thing - my brother calls it 'the buttock fear' sitting - you are not wholly esconced, there's that element of teetering, so you automatically clench the butt, straighten the back and use your legs to support you, which gives all the muscles something to do as well.

Seryn-don't be crazy! Handsewing eyelets is madness, only loonies like Tristan and I do things like that!
Um, do you want to try to match the brownish fabric? Or do I have time to mail you a sample? Cuz I could airmail you a sample tomorrow and it would take, what 4-10 days to get to you? I would mail it off first thing tomorrow morning before the PO closes at noon. err. replace "mail" with "post" and then I've translated that into English. :P

yes, sure, if you want to do that, if its not going to cost hundreds of dollars!
thank you! yikes, i thought i was going to be there doing them on the plane ofver if you'd said you'd liked it. ah, sigh of relief! I have metal eyelets aplenty and a whizzy new tool for inserting them, not messing with hammers and moulds for me! yey!

OOh, but Seryn, I can't find your address in my book. I probably have it written down at home, but can you PM or email it to me? If you get this in time? Like, before 5pm, your time.
When I run home to snag fabric, I'll try to dig it up. I know I still have the fabric sample card you sent me, hopefully it's still there.
And no, not hundreds of dollars, just a couple. No sweat.

Now, must go be a busy bee!

ok, I eventually did it - fabulous site called VenaCava designs - they re jigged the site, so it took me longer to relocate it. Bones start from as little as 20p i think, so yey! thos ridgid ones i was telling you about are 67p and I think the postage is fairly reasonable.
its typical that i only found them after i sent off to an american company for mine (and had to pay 10 quid duty on top of the postage.
Sigh. ah well, good for top ups.
