A corsette, of course....
Well, at least 2 seventh graders have finished their renaissance shirt and corsette (made out of donated Tshirts!!) all hand sewn...this is wonderful, but the rest kind of lag behind...this is a special problem for handwork teachers...this was supposed to last the rest of the year....hmmm, must come up with something fun for these two, in a hurry!
New Zealand Marie, it is really not complicated at all!!! Using recycled tee shirts makes it a snap! You essentially are sewing two rectangles together, then placing grommets, then lace it up with a leather or other type string...(I am a vegan, so I generally stay away from leather...these were "pleather" strips!)
