CORSET BONE CADDY - by Sew Curvy

Another smart idea to save time and also stay organised easier by Sew Curvy, a small business based near Oxford, UK, specialized in corset & bra making supplies, corsetry components for couture dressmaking, haberdashery and corset making courses. Owner Julia Bremble:

“Keeping bones organised when cut is always confusing. Especially mischievous pixies come out to play and mix them all up! Cutting bones for both sides at the same time is quicker and rather than label them with masking tape - fiddly - I just whipped up this bone caddy from an old piece of calico and will now use it every time. Simply fold the calico over, then mark 1cm lines all the way along vertically, sew down the lines, mark each resulting pocket with a number and use this to store paired bones for insertion into your corset. I always number my bones from front to back and keep a corresponding list of what they measure separately.”
