Construction process of the animated spider legs for a collar.

What started as a fun idea turned into an insane mechanical design and it's crazy how well Kem managed to make this happen!

I'm so hyped, the Black Widow corset fits so well and feels so comfy.

Funny fact: there is 6m steel boning of verious widths and typed in this corset.

Last Saturday I went to Made in Asia as Darkness from Konosuba

A little view of the day filmed with a camcorder.☺️

Glad to be back, it's been awhile.

I've been finishing the edges of the corset by hand sewing them on the inside. Here is a timelapse of 1 hour of sewing in one minute. This is just one of the 4 sides and it takes up a lot of time, but whoww what is the result worth it.

How to install end caps to your steel boning.

I offer them in 2 spindle sizes on my website (link in boi).

Overexcited with the Black Widow corset test fitting.
This is with only steel busk and lace boning and a spiral bone on the cup line.

The construction of the Black Widow corset is coming along.

Getting back to the center of my being "corsets" 😻

Here I use a hole cutter to make holes, later I switch the dies with eyelet dies and install the eyelets in the back panel of the corset.

While awaiting some corset materials that are ordered I'm working on some workshop upgrades. I'm so excited that my little crafting room gets some more storage, things are starting to look less messy.

I almost forgot how much joy I get from creating a corset, the time flies and an inner grinn appears.

I do love everything about this project so far, the shape, lines, fabric shine and feeling.

My sewing machine was squeaking so I decided to take it apart and fix it.
The culprit was a tension wheel from one of the belts.
This is one of my modern sewing machines from @pfaffsewing.bsky.social the "Pfaff Performance 5.0"

Been trying out the monster hunter wilds beta and I'm loving it!

I finally found the energy to do a test fitting for the corset.

I will do the left hip panel, the other option isn't feeling great with a waist reducing corset.

Upcoming costume

I hope to finish it before elfia in april. This was my first event back in 2007, back then I went as a gothic bride in my second selfmade dress.
Now that the location is closing for this event I will go in mourning as a black widow.
