There is a a brown, presumably wood, round side table nearby holding 2 paint cans colored blue and red, a paintbrush, and Warhammer 40k miniatures. There is a side turned green pain container with spilled green paint on the bean bag. A yellow container of paint sits by the back leg of the side table and a small unpainted figurine on the blue on blue toned large checkered flooring. In the background are light tan cabinets with a red brick backsplash and a black coffee maker with a mostly empty coffee carafe.

Making this a thread of the sewing WIP thread!

First part I made was the double full circle skirt from this black metallic gold cotton I bought from a friend. I made this in 2018. I will probably add pockets to this later.

Which color ribbon should I lace my stays with?

Gold or black?

I didn't have enough gold satin leftover from the top to make more ribbon & can't order anymore because it came from fabric.com (RIP)

Thank you @denverairport.bsky.social for having seats where I can lie down. Having chronic back pain sucks & sitting makes it worse so laying down to rest helps so much.

A buttonhole gauge is great for determining grommet spacing when making corset or stays!
