You could use coutil and it would work beautifully but if you wanted to use another fabric with less strength, that is possible too if you either underline or flat line the fabric with a more sturdy one.Anna Depewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055563789966415506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88001083355758616.post-44709283278503887662012-02-21T10:03:45.638+01:002012-02-21T10:03:45.638+01:00Hi Anna,

I'm completely new to vintage sewing, but I have sewn many, many historical corsets and stays and for them I always use strong fabrics like coutil etc. but I'm not shure if this would be too massive...<br />Please, please give me any advice :)<br />Yours<br /><br />CeciliaCécilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009738211287483235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88001083355758616.post-91329850645706469632012-02-20T20:31:47.145+01:002012-02-20T20:31:47.145+01:00Just got been to etsy for the patterns and have pu...Just got been to etsy for the patterns and have put a quick post about it all on my blog.

I found a lovely green silk in the remnant bin for $7.00/yard, plus some gorgeous brown satin ribbon - I'm going to look like an Andes mint when done. Though, I may make my first one out of cotton or satin, just to be sure I've got the right fit. I also started looking through some vintage garter straps from my husband's grandma, I think they will work for this project. I've still got do decide on eyelets or hook and eye tape. Since I've never worked with either, do you have a recommendation?Annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544332573834094941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88001083355758616.post-64409729114268553132012-02-19T15:30:32.690+01:002012-02-19T15:30:32.690+01:00I am so excited to start this.

I assume its difficult because of the little details that make it nice but I'm certain that once I start, I won't be able to stop! I just bought some beautiful crepe-back satin on sale at Joannes fabric last night. For gals in the US, JoAnne's and Hancock have a good selection of lingerie notions at reasonable prices. I'm also sewing your beautiful vintage teddy to match!!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.com
