I was curious. I was feeling lazy. I ordered some of Maaike's Sewing Tape with no particular project in mind, but the idea of hassle free zip placement appealed.

Then my baby sister called and asked for a custom corset - next week.
This is my first corset and I can honestly say that the sewing tape saved my world.

TwelveΒ panels of sew in boning in under half an hour, and pain free. Heck it was even enjoyable!

It coped with serious curves.

It allowed for me to occasionally re-position a bone and best of all...didn't require any pins!

If corsets, cosplay or formal wearΒ are in your future - this tape is your BFF.

PS. works on zippers and leather too!
