Testing, testing.....
I've gotten 12 of the 16 gussets in. The last 4 go in the seams, so they will wait until I get to the assembly stage.
This brings me to the cording. I took a few minutes to do a couple of tests.
On the left, I've taken my 3 ply cotton cord apart and used one strand for each row.
The right is 3 rows of the cord as it comes.
I like the stiffness if the 3 ply, but it's just way too thick. So, I'll be using the one ply. Do you think it would look too weird if I used 3 ply along the seams and single ply everywhere else? I'm especially wanting the stiffness at the back opening, so regardless of looks, I think I'll use it there at least.
I also ordered a busk from Lacies. It should be here soon I hope. I need it so I can mark my busk pocket and then get my cording pattern laid out.
