Corset
Materials: brown linen and curtain fabric
Cost: about £3
I got the pattern from a book from the Kyoto costume museum drew it out on paper and made it half an inch bigger. Luckily it was the right shape and approximately the right size. I cut it out in brown linen and some yellow curtain material. I then lined the pieces in the right order this was easier if they were numbered. I then stitched them together put the outsides facing each other and trimmed. The scolopped edges were the hardest as I found I had to undo the top and hand stitch then oversew it flat at the bottom. The eyelets were added I had a few metal stays but didn't add them.
