April Mending

One of three sock darns, and evidence my corset is finally re-bound.

 Some sewing that I did get done this month: I darned my pale blue stockings in three places (and fairly neatly, if I don't say so myself), and finally put the binding back on my mid-century corset. I'd forgotten how comfortable it is to not have half the bones escape every time I put it on, though I fear the last several months of misuse have ingrained permanent wrinkles in the coutil. I ended up removing all the bones to give it a good press (after accidentally discovering that some of the bones' tip-coating reacts at high temperature), which got most of the wrinkles out at least, though a few tenacious ones are hanging on.
