Good evening all,
This post will be short and to the point. I'm wondering weather or not other people have encountered this question before.
I have before me a set of stays that are complete except for the outside. Bias tape is not period, so I'm using a thick muslin. I'm running low on pins, and a thought occurs to me; I have in my possession a small stapler. Now, I will say that the staples are holding nicely, but does anyone know if this could be a potential problem? I will be hand stitching the edging to the stays, so there is no machine interference. I don't see why not, but I also feel like this is cheating.
Thoughts? Leave me a comment, I want to see what the masses think.
Are these your official stays or the test stays?
ReplyDeleteThat's a great question, thank you. Actually these are an entirely different set. These were modeled with a pattern that I found at a fabric store just to see if I could make stays. These are a little uneven, and they don't fit quite right. I'm thinking of either using them as a display piece, or wearing them under a gown.
