Projects: Regency Stays

Ok, so Step 5 was to attach the shoulders, but I never did get pictures of that step, even though I did it three times. It was pretty straight forward, but I did have to make some adjustments to the strap length. That part wasn't surprising, as the pattern called for straps that were way too long. Anyway, so I don't have any pictures of adding the straps. I have finished all three layers, though!

( Edit: Oh! I did get a picture of the strap after all... )

The directions say the rest of Step 6 is to stitch over all the already existing seam lines. So that's next. I think I'll just do a very small, tight running stitch since a back stitch would look bad on the under-side. I brought it with me to work so I can work on it during my lunch break. Heh.

The hound...

So, I am very fortunate in that I am able to bring my pack-dependent hound to work. Often I drop him off at our friends' house (a Golden Retriever and his person) during work hours so they can play together, then I head over and give them a lunch walk, etc. However, these pictures are from a hard day's work at the office....
