Augusta Stays, Mock ups 1&2

Shortly after I was displaced from my apartment, I mentioned to partner Nicole that I wanted to make stays, but was waffling on patterns. She had purchased Redthreaded's pattern, and I was torn between that (single size) or Scroop Patterns/Virgil's Fine Goods Augusta stays (multi-size and shape options). She bought Augusta since we mostly fit into the same size range.

Admittedly, part of why I wanted this pattern is because my great-grandmother's name was Augusta. The sewing machine she bought that my aunt has now is named after her, and I will keep the name when the machine eventually comes to me.

A couple weekends ago, I decided It Was Time (tm). The condition of the pattern purchase was that I trace out Nicole's size too, which I did first. We haven't had a chance to try her pattern out yet, but a couple weeks ago I did mine!
