How to Sew a Pole Dance Costume from Scratch!

[@Princesspixel69]

I'd love to see a video on how to draft your own pattern for these!

[@gsagadin]

the WOW factor after you got those stones in place is amazing!! I am costuming for a pole dancer right now and needed all these tips!! thank you!

[@OjSmokes]

I was linked here from Reddit- thank you so much for the time and care you put into making this video. It's really beautiful, and so is the costume- amazing job!

[@scarletandstitch]

Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@MissHollywoodsPage32]

I would love to see another tutorial on something similar, this is very pretty. Also I didn’t see where you got this pattern. Or can you do a video of how to draft the patterns please

[@deconstrut]

I love your pole costume designs Karen! So talented!! The two extra straps really made the outfit perfect! Can’t wait to see more videos from you :)

[@ohnothingspecial]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this video! and beautiful costume! I'm working on a pole costume for my sister's christmas present and this was super helpful. :)

[@spicerat99]

This video is an absolute life saver! I'm making my own costume for my first ever comp and was so lost on where to start, thank you!

[@22MissZoe]

What fabric do you use for the lining please? This is amazing xx

[@Mary-tb4ug]

These videos are very well done! I am a latin dancer and have found it really difficult to find tutorials of techniques for non-stretch fabrics (esp beyond the basics like using a ballpoint needle etc). I really appreciated the detail in this and how easily it can be applied to making any dance costume. I am about to start drafting/sewing dance costumes designed by a friend and this was great reassurance prior to starting! Great work!

[@claudia700]

One technique that will make rhinestone application faster is putting your glue in a plastic syringe to put the dollop directly on the costume and using a rhinestone picker to pick up and place the rhinestones. A rhinestone tray is also great to keep the rhinestones facing the right way. I used to do the te unique you do here and with this other approach I can put rhinestones on two times faster at least. Hope it helps save you some time!

[@annietaken1984]

Perfectly made! Absolutely beautiful 🤩

[@ctinaac]

For your applique work it would save you time if you use heat and bond iron on and then stitch the color that matches the applique. I use it for costuming.

[@sonialorenzo9223]

Great tutorial for someone like me who has never worked with those materials

[@dynamicgoo7079]

Absolutely loved this video! Do you mind telling me what mannequin you have there? I desperately need a good adjustable one!!

[@PeachPlastic]

The adjustable mannequin looks like the one made by "Prym". I'm not sure they have one in red, but it should be a comparable-enough make regardless. They're pricey but less so than a custom-made one.

[@siobhanstollznow1148]

This is gorgeous!

[@brigittewinchester6973]

Beautiful!! I would just add what pattern you used. Also which fabric did you use and where did you order?

[@scarletandstitch]

Thank you! My pattern was self drafted otherwise I definitely would have shared which pattern I used :) I buy my fabric in store since I'm fortunate enough to live near a fabric shop that focuses on performance wear. But I just use 4 way stretch lycra.

[@kizufgsfds]

you deserve more subscribers

[@scarletandstitch]

Ha thanks, maybe one day!

[@ShilynSews]

Funny enough, I found stretch fabrics "easy" to sew with cause it hid some imperfections on fit. Obviously it's not completely true for all. This is a great tutorial! What serger do you have? Ps. You're such a natural on camera!

[@scarletandstitch]

I agree, I love sewing stretch fabric! I have the Janome 4DX and it's great. And thank you so much!

[@Andrea_Rodriguez]

Great job. Next time for the appliques, use a wood burner. Works wonder on garments I sew.

[@scarletandstitch]

Thank you! I've tried a wood burner before and it wasn't my favourite but maybe I'll give it another try!

[@ChelleDonaldLLC]

It came out beautiful 😍😍😍😍

[@user-rc9zk4ly4r]

I love this tutorial thank you so much 😊 💖

[@scarletandstitch]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@user-rc9zk4ly4r]

I’m actually making my own costume . But my own style . Would you be able to post more vids because I love watching them .❤️💖

[@chelseymerriman5082]

Amazing!

[@neskeness]

I think this costume is awesome! but I'm not sure it helped me get better at sewing with stretch fabrics. I would love to know how to fix the issues with my sewing machine when I try to sew stretchy fabrics eg skipped stitches and all that nastiness. Maybe you could talk about all those difficulties in another tutorial!

[@scarletandstitch]

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will definitely make a video in the future addressing these issues :) that's a great idea!

[@vickipatridge5094]

Beautiful

[@shannondaily4562]

Do you use your 80% rule when doing the trim on the leg holes?? Thanks so much for your video!! Feeling inspired.

[@hedgerowpete]

a brilliant video

[@BrittanyMWarren]

Hi there!! Love watching your videos as I’m a dance mom and need to make my daughters costumes. Can you do a lyrical costume? Thank you!!

[@Jasmine_ag]

What fabric is it you use as a liner underneath the first fabric ?

[@MnCraftingengineer]

Hi, Does anyone know what the other beige fabric is she used for lining to cover the mesh and Lycra?

[@explicitlyme9102]

If you liked this video there's alot of other fun small you tubers to watch one I really liked was 'Devon raquel'

[@emmaflanighan2810]

See for the top pattern, just whenever you start how do you measure that? Ps. Amazing video!

[@scarletandstitch]

Thanks so much! For halter tops I take neck, full bust and under bust measurements 😊

[@coleleos]

where did you buy that appliqe that you used in the vid

[@crow66berry]

how or where did you get the patterns?

[@katherineh2293]

Where do you get your paper pattern cut outs from?

[@giannadembski5914]

where do you get the patterns from? I dont know how to make one from scratch

[@valdiviana27]

Gracias por traducir 💕🌺

[@emmastandhaven]

What spray glue did you use please x

[@Tee-ls3qd]

Are you using a walking foot ?

[@BelO-l1b]

Love your videos!! Wish u did more!! And if u have an Instagram page… please Share!!

[@annabogdanova4847]

Could you make pattern and tutorials for bralets from lycra and maybe mini skirt xx like festival wear maybe co ords

[@scarletandstitch]

I can definitely add it to the list of videos I want to make 😊 I love that idea.

[@highlightgamebreakers9982]

What type of sewing machine is that if you dont mind me askin?

[@scarletandstitch]

My sewing machine is the Janome Skyline S7 and my serger is the Janome 4DX

[@luvulol]

Is that one size fits all? How do you measure to fit all types of body. What fabric is it?

[@scarletandstitch]

It's Lycra. I use body specific measurements such as hips & full bust to make a pattern specific to those measurements.

[@Andrea_Rodriguez]

Quick question Can you just skip the sewing machine and go right for the serger?

[@scarletandstitch]

Absolutely! I often do, sometimes I just like to use both but it's definitely not necessary 😊 if you're just going to use your serger I'd use a 4 thread overlock opposed to a 3 thread though.

[@MyLocLife44]

What is "legra" ??? I tried looking it up but it shows various types of fabric like rayon and stuff

[@scarletandstitch]

It's Lycra 😊 you can also look up spandex.

[@livefreediemindful]

How can you be contacted?

[@deirdrerobbins856]

Great video and great tips but are there any answers to any of the above questions ? I can’t seems to find any replies. Thanks for sharing

[@Lena-gz2xq]

Great video, but take care of your hands. It makes me really nervous seeing how you place them in front of your blade.

[@tysheema0711]

Where did you get the crystals
