Hey, is it July already?

Where does the time go? So, what have I learned lately?

1. There are no jobs out there if you're under the age of 35. Nope. None. And it kinda sucks, since I've finally decided I can take my current retail servitude no more. Everyone wants five to a million years experience. I'm gonna laugh when in ten years there's no one left with experience. Just us inexperienced folks between 18 and 35.

2. Corsets aren't as hard to make as you think. Nor are they anywhere near as expensive as people sell them for. Well, I guess you have to pay for the labor. I made one for about...well...99 cents a yard for fabric, so about $1.50, about $2.50 for nylon boning, $4 for neat black and silver cord, and the expensive part, $18 for eyelets and the tool to apply them (the tool was $15, but it's reusable). So let's say $26. Oh, and $2 for the pattern. There is a trend lately for historical patterns, so I got one with Civil War era corset patterns. So, there's an initial cost of about $28, but I could make a second one for half that price. Sweet.
