You can buy paper with 1 inch boxes printed on it from the fabric store. <br /><br />Good Luck!Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-11172266328383747002013-07-02T19:58:10.056-04:002013-07-02T19:58:10.056-04:00Super silly question. how do I get the picture in...Super silly question. how do I get the picture into a pattern I can work with?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078774824486105791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-72519900917892958722012-09-25T18:09:55.895-04:002012-09-25T18:09:55.895-04:00Glad everything worked out!

There should be 2 fronts and 2 back pieces. So in 6thly, you should connect the right # 11 to the right # 10 and half half of the corset. Then do the same for the left # 10 and the left #11. Each 11 + 10 piece would equal half the corset.<br /><br />Hope this makes sense.

Can someone who has made this explain that? I assume when cutting out the pieces, you would make the the width of the front and back pieces at the middle, 10 and 11, together equal your waist measurement minus an inch or two for a lacing gap. What's this about half the size of waist required? <br />Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051412229601738971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-13550700212381679062011-04-19T01:20:06.671-04:002011-04-19T01:20:06.671-04:00Great post!
