You are an excellent teacher. You actually know to teach. You explain the math, you go slow enough that I don't have to back up and listen again, and you don't rush the construction part. I watch a lot of this type of video, and you are one of the best! Thank you!

I've known your shop for years and always admired your products but never ordered anything because of taxes (i live in the EU and i've learned my lesson the hard way years ago, cost me 90€ extra for something that was 10€ over the tax free amount). I didn't know you had a youtube channel, this is so helpful, thank you!

This is going to be invaluable for me! Thank you so much. The thought of patterning from scratch scared me so much, but you have made it easy to follow along! Can not wait to try it!!

Thank you so much for this, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I have been sewing for 20 years but never tried sewing anything like this, so looking forward to giving it a try!!

this was really insightful - thank you! It's always interesting to see how everyone makes stays! Each time I make a new stay I try something new or different!

Thank you so much. That was very helpful and very easy to follow 😊. I live in a country with the metric system so I got a little bit confused about the math but I still got it right. Will definitely try this since I always wanted to try to make stays. ❤

@french.meadows 6 ай бұрын

Believe me I wish I was on the metric system 😭 Currently trying to learn!

@MiljaHahto Ай бұрын

@@french.meadows Well it's based on tens, so it's at least easier than the other way around. Milli, centi, deci are all just prefixes to meter (0,001, 0,01, 0,1)

@amiehamilton1840 Ай бұрын

Most of us outside the US use both, depending on what is easiest for the project. A big skirt where precision is easier with the bigger numbers in inches, but this looked hectic in inches! Honestly, there isn't anything to learn.... If you can count, you can do metric. Just grab yourself a ruler with both systems,. I promise it'll make life way easier :-) also, more importantly... Thank you for this brilliant tutorial!!

@MiljaHahto Ай бұрын

@amiehamilton1840 Outside US I'd say most use metric only, we are not used to inches though we know them, and it always requires a conversion. I had to SEARCH for a tape measure that has both, to make following US instructions easier. Most shops don't sell them.

@amiehamilton1840 Ай бұрын

Really? I mostly meant sewing, I don't use it anywhere else. But I know a lot of Australian sewists like being able to pick and choose. Our standard measuring tapes always have both, so conversions are pretty easy here

@ForestNymph666 20 күн бұрын

hi, thank you so much for this. i am at the part where we adjust the center front line to match the bottom curve, but my new measurement goes above the current bust line by about 2/8th of an inch. my bust apex to waist is 6 11/16th and side apex to waist is 5 11/16th. is this normal ? should i lower my centre bottom in this case or how do you rectify this ? 15:02

@zipadeezebra Ай бұрын

I wish I had found this earlier. I bought a stays/corset pattern and even the smallest size was so big I had to take it apart and cut it down after hand sewing it. 😭

@brookemunn6677 22 күн бұрын

I will definitely be using this tutorial in the future!! Do you have any recommendations for what interfacing to use?

@french.meadows 21 күн бұрын

I like to use light to medium weight interfacing and double up on layers if needed.

Thank you for the tutorial! I'd like to try making a mockup. Do you put boning in mockups, or just the finished stays?

@french.meadows 4 ай бұрын

I do recommend putting in boning! It will help keep the fabric taut and give you a more accurate idea of the fit. Usually when I do a mockup, I use rigilene sew-in boning since it's easier to just sew it on rather than make boning channels. I'd never recommend rigilene for a real corset but for mockups it's fine!

@amiehamilton1840 Ай бұрын

I've seen people use duct tape for the boning in mock-ups, but haven't tried this myself yet.

@alessiajost554 3 ай бұрын

How much smaller do you make the measurements for your clients? I love the turial but I‘ve done 6 mockups and I am never satisfied with the reduction. Either it‘s too much or too little…

@Velvet-q1x 5 ай бұрын

What type of boning would you recommend for this? Also thank you so much! This video was so helpful 🫶

@SkipperJane 5 ай бұрын

From the research I’ve done, there’s two big options: zip ties or synthetic whale bone. If you go with the synthetic boning, you can get it from Burnley & Trowbridge in various thicknesses by the yard. Pricewise, I think both options come out about the same. If you do use zip ties, I’d say buy the longest you can, as that’s the cheapest route (often the price difference between 18” and 24” is negligible but that can buy you 2 bones per tie or more).

@ciciamanda. 3 ай бұрын

@@SkipperJane from experience: If you are using zip-ties youre going to want to round the edges (i found it easiest to carve them carefully with a box cutter) and file then down with a nail file to get rid of any sharp edges. If you want thicker bones (you probably wouldnt for stays, but its nice for the back of a corset for example) you can superclue two zipties together :)

@MiljaHahto Ай бұрын

I think I've heard that in place of a wooden busk people have used wooden rulers cut appropriately. Steel bones and busks would be for 19th century I guess.

@MiljaHahto Ай бұрын

@@ciciamanda.Thank you for the tips. Budget recommends zip ties to me, so I'll have use for your advice!

@annakiification 22 күн бұрын

ok weird but legit question here, would this work if the pattern was in one or two pieces?

@french.meadows 21 күн бұрын

I think it should still work as long as you keep the shape the same. It may put some sections on the bias where they shouldn't be, so a mock-up is defnitely work making to check everything still fits correctly.
