Title: Sewing class funny (and you're all going to want one!)
Post by: gem on June 16, 2009, 05:40:20 PM
So the other seamstresses in my sewing class are fascinated by the process of boning a bodice, and particularly by the cable ties.  Yesterday I brought my entire package of 36" ties in and plopped it under my worktable.  The woman across from me said, "Have boning, will travel!"

"Not very conveniently," I said.

At which point, speculation and suggestions abounded for what I could transport the cable ties in.  One person suggested a yoga mat bag.  But someone was inspired, and decided I need A QUIVER!!

You can all see it now, can't you?  Daring bodice and corseteers, bent over their workspaces, quivers full of boning strapped to their backs, whipping out a ready cable tie at a moment's notice...

I used to have mine, when they were mostly metal, rolled up in a canvas kit, like you see the chefs have their knives in.  :D  But I like the quiver idea!

Oh, me too!  And I have sewing machines small enough to pop in a back-pack...  Those do need electrons to run them: the hand-cranks are a bit large and heavy for that!

Not so much the sewing room on the move as the corseteer on the run!

LMAO
That is very amusing indeed! I made a quiver once for a halloween costume using a Pringles can, but I think the ties are too long in this case...  :)

I know Hobby Lobby throws away the long cardboard tubes that material comes on.  I have asked for them many times!
