process post week 21

I feel like I didn't get much done this week.  I didn't really have a concrete goal of what I wanted to finish, but since I'm leaving on Monday I wanted to get to a good stopping point and not be right in the middle of something.  It's already hard enough to pick back up with a complicated project a month or two later, so I don't want to make it extra hard on my future self.  Pretty much all I did was transfer the pattern pieces to the muslin and cut them out, but it took forever.  I decided to try to modify the pattern I'm using to be a two layer corset instead of single layer, so I won't have to try to do external boning channels because they seem really hard and annoying.  That means that I have 24 pieces to cut out though...I think it'll take a while.  It took me about an hour to do the first eight, but hopefully the next ones will be faster since I'll be more used to it.  It's also taking extra long because I decided to add the seam allowances on the fabric instead of on the pattern pieces.  It takes longer (especially if you have a lot of pieces) because you have to measure seam allowance on every single one, but it makes your seam lines a lot more precise since you have it marked already exactly where you need to sew - I think it's worth it?  It's pretty tedious though.  I ended up cutting out all the other 16 pieces in a row on Friday.  I didn't time it but I know it took me at least an hour and a half, but I'm glad that it's done now so I can get right to work sewing when I get back.  I didn't take any pictures before I pinned the pieces together all neatly and I didn't want to undo it, but here's a photo of all my bundles.
