2018 Family Portrait    Pattern Truly Victorian E01 Supplies For TV E01::   The fabric for the corset is a lovely faux suede curtain, (Historical Sew Fortnightly January baby!) Two sizes of gross grain ribbon (Hobby Lobby 50% off ribbon spools, love it!) cotton thread, and pearl cotton thread for flossing.  The Pattern Cutting and er, well, Cutting again:  I really don't like cutting expensive patterns. Expensive being, anything I didn't pay .99 cents for at JoAnns. I bought TVE01 and TVE02 from Old Time Patterns ( Old Time Patterns Etsy  ) for 14.00-16.00 dollars. So I used this lovely roll of tissue paper I have on hand and traced, then cut the pattern. Then I pinned and cut again. I HATE THAT. SERIOUSLY. Im a cut twice measure never kinda seamstress so this was a particular circle of Hell for me. But I did it. Cause I wanna keep this pattern as long as possible.  Sewn together, easy, simple IF YOU KEEP EVE...
