craftgrrl | First attempt at corsetry!

So I wanted to try and see if I could make a waist cincher....

I took a cincher that I already had and traced the outline of each peice that made it up to make the pattern. Add in some scrap fabric I had and some plastic cable ties from the hardware store and my little adventure began! :P I used cable ties mainly b/c I was scared I was going to mess this up, so I didnt want to buy steel boning until I was sure I could do this right! Anyways.. this came out pretty good for my first time! And it's only the third clothing type item that I've ever sewn!
