I borrowed a really neat book from a friend about making custom drafted stays and corsets. I'm really excited to try it out!! It looks similar to patterns that use apportioning scales, but most of the math is done for you already, and there's pictures of every step. I can hardly decide which pair to start first. Probably stays, but 1775 diderot stays, or 10 years later ones?

Fun weekend, except for 15 minutes in the middle of it where I witnessed a vehicle collision. That part was super not fun. No one was seriously injured (I don't think) but still. Yikes! Tomorrow I am off to chauffeur my gramma around :-)
