This binding may be the death of me. Or at the very least, the death of my fingers. But I did make some progress.

Binding on the inside seams - check
eyelets busk pocket and front panel for tethering busk - check
attaching busk pocket to inside of front - check

I think it was that last one that did my fingers in. Trying to do slip stitches through multiple layers of duck cloth was not fun. The whole thing is beginning to look like it's going to be a little on the small side. I have two plans to rectify this problem. Plan A involves having success with this diet I'm on. It's going well so far and a few more pounds might be all I need to make it fit. However, if that doesn't work, Plan B goes into effect. There is a good spot on the side panels where I could add in a bit of extra fabric. The beauty of Plan B is that I can wait until a week or two before Dragon Con before deciding whether I need to implement it.

I was going to suggest the idea about the lacing panel, but I see someone else beat me to it! And if you still need more, you could add side lacing instead of extra fabric. That would truly make it completely adjustable.

That's another really good idea. Thanks, Dreamflower!
