Aranea Black - all things corsets Aranea Black

THE ETERNAL QUESTIONS THAT'S NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED! DOMESTIC OR INDUSTRIAL? ANTIQUE, VINTAGE OR MODERN? THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS!

In all honesty, I think my opinion will disappoint you.
I don't believe there is a best machine out there. Everything is about personal preferences, availability and hard cold cash. Just know, you can start small and upgrade later on.

HOW TO CONQUER YOUR FEAR OF FAILURE TO START DOING THINGS THAT YOU LOVE AND ENJOY?! Why fear is useful and how can we use it to our advantage?

Can you imagine if you gave up on walking because your first attempts at this skill where comical failures?
Failure is part of the journey to success! It might not feel like it in the moment of failing but it is so much worse not to do it at all, then to do it and fail. You can always try again! YOU MUST TRY AGAIN!

Being brave isn't about being fearless at all. It is all about being scared shitless but doing it despite the fear!

Help others find the bravery in them by sharing your fears and ways in which you have conquered them! I would love to hear from you in the comments.

DO YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ONLY MAKE 10 GARMENTS BASED ON PURCHASED PATTERN? YOU NEED TO THINK AGAIN.

This podcast is not legal advice. It is my opinion on copyright related things.

There are many myths floating around on the topic of sewing pattern copyright. What can and cannot be done with the pattern you've purchased. There are many opinions on antique patterns and how you can use them. Many believe you aren't allowed to discuss how someones design was made.
Here is my 2 cents on the matter, based on the information freely available to everyone to read.

Pattern Copyright USA

I would love to hear from you in the comments. What are your experiences with this matter?

DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE GETTING YOUR CORSET PROJECTS DONE? DO YOU GET STUCK ON PARTS THAT YOU DISLIKE? Start by doing the bare minimum!

This might surprise you but I'm not a big fan of the corset making process. Not at all. In all honesty, it is very boring and tedious to me. I enjoy making corset patterns and wearing corsets so making the corset is just a means to an end for me.

With that, it is very easy for me to get stuck but there are ways in which people can trick themselves into doing those parts they dislike. One of the methods is doing the bare minimum.
Everyone has some idea of a minimum amount of effort they are wiling to do. Start with that and see where it takes you.

I would love to hear from you in the comments. What do you have the most trouble with your corset or sewing projects?

WANT TO START YOUR CORSET MAKING BUSINESS BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START?
Here's my 2 cents on how to build a client base.

I truly believe that we have to focus on creating corsets that we enjoy making but the tricky part for many, my past self included, is finding people that like, want and can afford our creations.
Become part of their community! Bring value and a positive attitude!

I would love to hear from you in the comments. What pattern making method do you prefer?
