Bound and bound!

My effigy bodies is finally and completely bound! I almost sewed in two silk pins in the binding, and had to cut the sewing threads to get one of them out, which is better than getting poked later.

The image above is a placeholder. I will have a better photo that isn't fuzzy tomorrow, when I can actually take a better shot from a distance, and load the detail shots, too. My camera didn't like to focus unless I was doing closer shots. But I am happy the binding is done, and can now head off to bed.

Next up... the French farthingale! I will do the eyelets in a few days, when my fingers have stopped bleeding.

Oh... just remembered, I have to finish sewing the top horizontal row to hold the channels. Will do that tomorrow.
