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.”

CORSET MAKING SHORTCUT by Sew Curvy
Great tip to cut down on time when repeatedly working with corset mock-ups. I got this from her Facebook page:
“Keep a set of ‘fake laces’ to attach to toiles so that you don’t have to go through the whole lacing palaver every time you make a mock up! Make two strips with eyelets, lace them up as the back of a corset, then sew the strips onto the back of the toile in the appropriate place. When finished, unpick, and use the ready laced strips again for the next toile. Simples!”
