bustier continued

I've been doing stuff .. just not documenting it.

I've been picking away at the bustier for the past few weekends. Quick summary:

- catch-stich the seam allowances down on inner/outer layers
- make piping
- attach to outer layer
- cut waistband ribbon (petersham), attach to inner layer
- sew inner to outer layer by hand
- pull right-side out. Fun. Like pulling a butterfly out of a nasty cocoon.

I would've reached this stage sooner, but I made some dumb mistakes. And, there was a point where I thought I had made a mistake, compensated for it, and then found out I had to uncompensate b/c it was right the first time.

What's left?
- close up the hole I did the right-side out through
- add buttons and buttonholes
