New Tutorial: How to Make a Basic Ribbon Corset

Tight Lacing Black Satin Ribbon Corset - Front View, by Sidney Eileen

The new tutorial is a clean-up and re-write of my blog entires on the subject much earlier this year.  The photos are the same, but I made some major changes to the text so it will be clearer.  I had not read through the blog since writing it, and was both embarrassed and amused with my late-night lack of grammar and clarity.

At any rate, it should be much easier to read and understand in the new form.  If you find any errors or are confused by anything in the tutorial, please let me know so I can fix it.  Thanks!

How to Make a Basic Ribbon Corset
This tutorial describes how to make a ribbon corset using actual ribbon. It has coutil and boning only on the busk, sides, and grommets. Part one covers how to create the ribbon panels and attach them to the grommet and side coutil panels. Part two covers the creation of the busk panels and inserting the busk, as well as how to finish the edging on the busk panels. Part three covers finishing the side panels. Part four covers finishing the grommet panels.
