[****merlin*****]

ooooooh i like the shiney

would i have any problems sewing silky material??

[chickengrandma-2008]

You don't want it too shiny for corsets merlin, when you pull the laces tight you'll shoot out of the top!:^O

[****merlin*****]

:^O

its for a corset in a round about way

i THINK i have thought how to make a cushion for Lollys bed, like a corset

[hiddengems2010]

That sounds like a good idea Merlin, another good one is use an old corset sew up the bottom and top the opening at the front or back is where you slip the cushion in 🙂

[****merlin*****]

i didnt think of that:|

i bought a lovely red & black one with a tutu, i was going to put it on a mannequin in her room (mannequin is in the loft) but saw a lovely floor standing mirror and thats sitting in the space intended for the mannequin and she doesnt have room for both

[hiddengems2010]

wont the maniquin stand at the side just infront of the mirror ??

or use that corset as the pillow, better still just waer the corset :^O

[****merlin*****]

there WAS plenty of space

but i saw a beautiful black french sideboard/dressing table sort of thing and HAD to buy it:^O

and she went from a single bed to double bed, so there were pretty big changes

she has this old trunk thing and if she would just get rid of it there would be plenty space, as ugly and old as it is she loves it, so it stays

[hiddengems2010]

aww never mind, stick the manniqin in ya bed for when ya hubby gets home, it'll be a whole new meaning to ...............

answer's on a postcard lol 😉

[****merlin*****]

it has a block wood base

and i have a waterbed!

😮 no thank you!

[hiddengems2010]

OOOooo no that wouldn't be a good idea 🙂

[petitecalicocat]

Do you really have a water bed Merlin , ive often wondered what it would be like to lie on one , does it wobble when you move about ?

[chickengrandma-2008]

Mine does and I haven't even got a water bed!:O
