2 Down

14 to go.  For real this time. No, it did not take me 3 hours to insert one gusset, even though I am the slowest hand sewer in the world.  I spent a bit of time looking up pics of long stays.  I know I had some bookmarked on the old computer, but due to virus issues, I didn't transfer them over to the lap top.  So, now the hunt is on again.

I think the one with the black background is from an auction by Karen Augusta.

I really love the first one!

These are the photos I've collected of regency era stays. http://quincy134.livejournal.com/35014.html

It's amazing isn't it!

Thank you so much for sharing your collection! My mind is swimming with ideas. I must try to make something similar to the one with buttons. Later modification or not, it's truly beautiful.

I vow and declare I wasn't going to say a thing!

Wanna race? Last stitcher finished wins negative-brag rights!

LOL! Math is my downfall.

We can race to the bottom! Last one done wins.
