Ramona's bag and Steampunk costume

Some projects I've been working on :

Ramona Flower's bag. Just in case I need an easy cosplay. I mostly winged it with this project, though I did refer this blog  to  for help. The old table cloth I had came in useful: I used it to make a waterproof lining for the bag. I only wish I knew how to make the bag stiff.I have a feeling it involves very heavy weight interfacting that probably won't go through a home sewing machine. 

 

I've added hook and eye tape to the corset. Now all it needs are the eyelets.
