I bought it from a store called Spotlight, here in Australia. In the furnishings/upholstery section. ☺

Thanks for watching!🥰

@@rebeccamoir4348 it's my pleasure.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! I used a sew in interfacing by Birch, it's called Shape to Create Woven Shapewell from Spotlight. I used a ruler and coloured pencils to mark the lines onto it and it worked really well!

@@rebeccamoir4348 Thank you so much this was very helpful! The colored pencils helped me make cleaner markings than the markers! 🙏🏼💖

It's a beautiful version! Thanks for watching!

I used the Simplicity 8162 pattern designed by the ladies at American Duchess. The pattern comes with a boning template for partially boned stays, but I just added more boning in between the already marked lines of the template to make them extra supportive. Happy sewing!

And you will absolutely be able to do it! Stays look very intimidating but are really quite simple if you just work through each step one by one. This was my first pair and I've made another since, the hardest part is hand sewing the binding around the tabs and the most exhausting part is sanding down all the boning! Good luck.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching, I did have some issues with the captions, so I've taken this into account for next time.

@@rebeccamoir4348 Good luck - I am in awe of anyone who can get videos made, edited, and posted. It's all beyond me.

@@teddy-3765 I'm a full time student at the moment so I haven't had the chance, but I really hope to because I did enjoy it. Thanks for watching! 🥰

Thanks for watching!

There are tonnes! I know Vogue has something really similar.

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for watching!

No problem, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I did have some trouble with the captions so I've taken that into account for next time.

Hey Kathy, thanks for watching! I did do a little bit more hand sewing than the pattern called for as I deviated slightly from the instructions, but if I remember correctly the edge binding and the lining (?) called for hand stitching in the pattern instructions. You could definitely omit the lining and machine stitch the binding down - Or place the lining on top of the stays and stitch the binding over the top of it to hold it in place - This would be a bit tricky and fiddly to get it through the machine but it's definitely been done before! I'd suggest a quick google on how to machine bind eighteenth century stays. x

Thanks for watching!

Wow, thank you so much! What a lovely comment. Thank you for watching. x

@@rebeccamoir4348 you're welcome, sweetheart!

Thanks so much! x

Thank you so much! A good press can save a lot of projects from the waste bin. x

Hi Rebecca, the white interlining fabric I used was a heavy weight sew in interfacing from my local fabric store. The pattern suggested using buckram but I wasn't able to get it in my area without ordering online, but this worked perfectly and draws on very easily with pencil. Any heavy weight woven fabric would do, cotton, drill, denim... x

Thanks for watching, Emily. x

Thank you so much! x

Thanks Kathrine! The link in the description was just a link to the store I bought it from, it's possible that they've changed their link address or stopped stocking it. The pattern is Simplicity 8162 and is still available through American Duchess or any big pattern seller! x

Absolutely! The pattern instructions are a big all over the place at the best of times. I did a lot of reading before I started making my stays which is the only reason I avoided this mistake. Once you know, it's a pretty straight forward project! Good luck. x

Thank you! It's Simplicity S8839. x

Thanks so much! The white top is actually an H&M blouse I bought a few years ago. x

Thanks for watching, Cynthia! x

Thank you! x

Thanks for watching, Kyra! x

No problem at all, thanks for watching! x

Hey Reina, I've switched over to doing a voiceover instead of captions in my other videos, hope this helps alleviate the problem. x

Thanks so much for watching and good luck with your exams! x

Thanks so much for watching, Angela! x
