100 Day Project day 2: stitched the boning seams of the front/Side front down (had to rip one out and redo it) added the busk pocket facing with a very generous amount of the top edge left free for fitting adjustment, and used twill tape for the singleton boning channels.

Tonight I am debating adding the stitching to the back panels, or reattaching them to the body bc the lacing panels are still attached and I can see how the length is. Yeah, I just sold myself on reattaching and trying it on again before I commit to all the grommets. I can't do anything about boning for some days yet (the pattern calls for a few spirals, and I want to order it but budget is not there rn)

I was telling K about this last night, and we were joking about how a single pair of stays CAN take 100 days if you try hard enough lol. I said that I had started working on stays, and that I hadn't ever said I would only do *one* set. Maybe I spend all 100 days working on various stays lol. I have two sets of Augusta stays in progress, I could line the Cassandra stays, remake the 1780s stays, do the Costume Close Up set I cut out shortly before the flood, finish the Rilla corset, make up the Black Snail straight-front corset, finish the Victorian corset... It could work!
