Sewing a corset for BJDs

[@grey_roses]

Oh, that's lovely! You have a real knack for clearly teaching things that are easily muddled. 👍

[@LomisPlayground]

Thanks so much!

[@Foxiepawstotti]

You're a natural teacher. You just sound so patient and explain everything so well!

[@sarahlongshore2605]

You are always so helpful!! Thank you so much. Ifnyou have time would you please show how to set the eyelets using the cropadile. I have been trying but I always mess them up. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong! !! Thank you so much. The corset is gorgeous! !!

[@LomisPlayground]

Thank you! I'll add that to my list of videos to create!

[@danieladownie6087]

great tutorial! I'm actually working on making my own fantasy corset for a Monster High doll. I wont be adding boning, but I'll consider adding eyelets to the back (I was going to add velcro).

[@LomisPlayground]

That sounds great! I don't blame you for skipping the boning, I think it'd be crazy hard for a doll that tiny. :D

[@candyaidantran7738]

I watched many your videos tonight. I am so happy that i found your videos. They are so meaning and helpful to me. They are exactly what i need. Thank you so much, you are very kind when you make these videos to help some one learning online like me. You are so helpful. Thank you. You are doing a wonderful job. All your products are so beautiful and professional

[@LomisPlayground]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot to me.

[@candyaidantran7738]

@@LomisPlayground you are welcome. You are tallent

[@Sohrleas]

I think you just saved me with the using decorative lace for lacing holes thing. I made a shirt for a monster high doll, but I don't have any eyelets small enough and I couldn't find anything that could work. I'm going to try this; hopefully it works!

[@LomisPlayground]

Oh, I sure hope it does! Keep me posted, I'd love to see how it works out for something as tiny as a Monster High doll!

[@Vilnacron]

This is wonderful and I am so happy you made the pattern available! I am starting on it today!.

[@graysonthecrazykid]

Iv'e never made a corset with boning. I didn't even think of it. Thanks!

[@Subliminal.Radiation]

Lomi, this is beautiful!! You are so talented!

[@alilsexc]

How beautiful.. can you do one for a AG 18" doll? This was so awesome to watch .. thank you

[@pedinurse1]

I used gold embroidery thread on that same gold trim

[@LomisPlayground]

That would work beautifully!

[@elerynrammeld5798]

"but you have to be careful because---Oops, it's on fire..." yep, that's exactly why you have to be careful: it's hot!

[@suzanneaubertin4530]

This is so lovely - love the tip for boning. Thanks!

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Oh you are a star Lomi...you are such a great teacher! I love your videos because I am not that domesticated and you explain things so well! For once I actually have everything... I bought an eyelet setter ages ago because I needed it for a semi jewellery project... don't ask! It didn't work lol...but it will work this time hehe!

[@Grenadreams]

It's so gorgeous lomi! I love the color of the fabric you used, it's very galaxy-like. I cannot state this enough, you are so freaking talented!

[@LomisPlayground]

Aww, thank you so much!!

[@codeargent]

Excellent job! I'd love to give this a shot eventually! You make things so clear and easy to understand.

[@LomisPlayground]

Thank you!

[@alancj8619]

This was amazing and I learned a lot, just like all your other sewing videos! Can you make more sewing titorials?

[@LomisPlayground]

Thank you so much! I plan to keep making more of them as I can :)

[@kandicecousineau1348]

Is there away to get these measurements in a Barbie size? How do you make your patterns for the corsets? Or any other item? Thanks for sharing!! It’s STUNNING!!!!😍😍😍

[@poldoll5683]

Wow, it's so beautiful!! I wish I had a sewing machine, I've tried making corsets for my dolls in the past with no success 😩. You make it look so easy 😭😭😭

[@LomisPlayground]

Oh, I don't think I'd want to do a whole corset by hand. That would be exhausting! It does get easier as you do it, though, I promise. :)

[@Mycraftylife]

love your video! the corset turned out beautiful!

[@prophetscry]

This is so beautiful! I'll have to try my hand at making one for my sd girl because a purple one like this would be perfect for her. ^__^ Thank you so much for making this tutorial for us!

[@LomisPlayground]

Thank you for watching it!

[@Hanna-rp2lt]

use the combination 1B in your crop a dile (the one for putting eyelets with rings on the wrong side of the fabric) even if your not using rings with the eyelets, this gives a cleaner result 🌝

[@moniqueqc1548]

😍WOW❣️ Très beau travail❣️ Merci 🥰

[@Vilnacron]

Have you considered adding affiliate links to what you are using on Amazon? I found the exact same lace trim, crop-a-dile, similar bias tape, etc. there. Just a thought to help compensate you for these amazing videos!

[@bozyakorovka]

what an amazing video! thanks!!!!

[@carolefearnley1990]

[@LomisPlayground]

[@ashley-has-games9811]

I don't even need to make a corset..... Yet here I am again 😂

[@LadySubaru62]

Lovely corset. Are you using clothing eyelets or scrapbooking ones. And how well do the scrapbooking eyelets hold up over time?

[@LomisPlayground]

I use scrapbooking eyelets. They don't seem to be any different from clothing eyelets, they've lasted me years without issues and the only times I've had them pull out are when they aren't set well to begin with. The Crop-a-dile tool I use to set them now works a lot better than the hammered setting tool for that, too easy to squish them otherwise. I'd like to go to using eyelets with washers, though, just because I think they give a cleaner presentation!

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

AWESOME well done you, thats fantastic, thank you so much for posting. I share fumble fingers with you and struggle to get mine to co-operate as well.

[@kilodeltawhisky1504]

Oh boy. I decided to make the UNDERBUST corset... I cut lining and material out and sewed it all together - lining and material, two pieces. And thought I had extra back piece of each fabric, so tossed into the bin. Then I sewed the sides together making a tube, turned inside out and sewed the top edge, then turned Right side out... Now I have this lovely tube, all pressed... And then I'm sitting there wondering how does this thing get on the doll and stay put? So here I am...lol...will fetch the "extra" pieces from the bin, add them on and proceed as directed in this video. 😆😐🤨😆

[@VintageVineMillinery]

Fantastic. Thank you sooo much.

[@dekomons]

This is so amazing 😍😍 I'll hve my first bjd in few months. I'll try to do this and hope to success on 5th try

[@saskiamaier2856]

I am going to definitly use this on my future bjd doll

[@LomisPlayground]

Thank you! And thanks for watching

[@sahiraangelies8849]

Very great and awesome video and very helpful thanx

[@emmaleeann76]

Thank you for the tutorials! Can't wait to make this. 2 questions: will this fit a minifee and what size eyelets do you use? Thanks!

[@LomisPlayground]

This corset is for 1/3 dolls, so it's much too large for Minifee. However, I have a corset pattern for 1/4 dolls in my archive (under the 1/4 section on this page: www.ithilear.com/sewing-patterns-for-ball-jointed-dolls.html ) that does fit minifee. :D It is assembled the same way, so you can follow the same tutorial. I use 5/16" scrapbooking eyelets, I get them in the paper crafts section of Michaels or Hobby Lobby here. Hope that helps!

[@LunaB_Cadenza]

This was super cool to watch and I can't wait to try it. I'll have to modify the pattern fit a minifee but I'm sure I can do it. Question unrelated to this video but; how do you make button holes?

[@VondaInWonderland]

So beautiful ♥

[@ElviaARELLANOREBOLLEDO]

I love the coset thanks for share

[@TheParangnabi]

¡hello! Could you please tell me where to buy the "hole machine"? I don't know the name in English, sorry. I've tried to buy different kinds of tools to make holes but any of them work properly...

[@MochaChoco99]

How did you make the pattern for this corset? Ive been searching for a tutorial on a corset on BJDs, so thank you for this video!

[@bruttina1949]

È Bellissimo 👍 complimenti sei molto brava

[@elsaperales7239]

[@madqueen6632]

May I ask what size the trims you use are? I can't seem to find the lace you used anywhere! What is it called? Thank you!

[@Okoranasan]

This is really pretty! I think I'll try making it myself sometime soon. I did have a question though - do you know how to make ruffled skirts? I wanted to do a Rococo fashion skirt, but I haven't been able to find a good tutorial on it.

[@LomisPlayground]

Oh man, I love Rococo fashion! Ruffles are one of those things that looks a lot harder than it actually is. I actually have a Rococo dress pattern I've been working on, though, so I'll try to remember to get it finished soon!

[@sharkprincess23]

thank you!!!! and beautiful things you do :)

[@ca8vivian16]

OMG YES I need to make my DC Stacy a corset so bad. I cant find ANYONE to make one for me. Thank you Lomi for these (more or less) easy steps! However if I dont have a puncher for the inlets is there any other way to put them in?

[@LomisPlayground]

Well you can use just about anything to poke holes for them to go in, I used to use a knitting needle to make holes. A lot of eyelet kits come with a setting tool as well, so you don't really need anything fancy :) Fancy just makes it faster!

[@richardcornellier3663]

I would love some studio ghibli themed sewing tutorials PLEASE!!!! It would be so awsome and there are so many movies from them you would get to be creative along with it!!!

[@LomisPlayground]

OOF, right in my weak spot, how could you?! XD. I LOVE Studio Ghibli. I wonder if I could fit in an outfit as a Halloween deal for my dolls...

[@richardcornellier3663]

@@LomisPlayground OMG!! That would be awesome!! I have a bjd doll that is a 1/3 scale so she's kinda big but I had the idea because I crochet and I was coming up with some wigs to make and my list is: kiki, ponyo, totoro, chibi moon, nurse joy and eevee because you can't buy any of these wigs ANYWHERE! And I wanted to sew her the outfits to go with them! But I've never done a sewing pattern for doll clothes and she's really big! So I was thinking you could mabye do ponyo or kiki outfit???!! It would help so much and be so awesome!!!

[@suzue4]

13:30 these eyelets are 1mm or 2mm?????

Tek kelimeyle mükemmel muazzam tebrik ederim ellerinize sağlık :)

[@bettyadolfoliverrass]

The corset is beautiful and so is your doll, but I know it's kinda rude to ask how much things cost, but how much did the the supplies/materials cost you?

[@LomisPlayground]

Oh my ^^; I'm actually not really sure. I'm trying to see if I can remember. Most of my sewing projects use stuff I've had stockpiled for a long time. I used to work as a supervisor at a Michaels arts and crafts store, which was across the street from a Hancock Fabrics, so I collected tons of supplies on clearance through the years and now rarely need to buy new materials. I do know most of the fabrics I use are only between $5 and $7 per yard when I catch them on sale, but I mostly buy remnants, which are discounted further--so most of my fabric pieces are maybe $2 or $3. Ribbons I usually pay between 25 cents and $2 for a spool; same for lace, though I do remember for sure that the black lace I used on this came from eBay and was 77 cents. I remember because it was such an arbitrary number. LOL. I think the most expensive thing is the eyelets, which are usually about $4 or $5 a pack, but of course, I got them back when I had an employee discount. :)

[@shelbysawyer6352]

It is so beautiful! But why didn't you sew the bias tape from the inside first? Then you can machine sew it from the front and only have one line of visible stitching on the front and save your hands a bit of work.

[@LomisPlayground]

Well... I realize this will probably sound insanely nit-picky of me LOL I considered doing that, but the none of the purple thread I had on hand was a good match for the bias tape! I felt like it stood out too much and thought it might compete with the gold trim, so sewing it without visible stitching seemed like the better way to go. :)

[@FourPartFox]

This is a lovely pattern! Do you have any tips for modifying it for MSD or yo-SD? I never did like larger dolls, personally :p

[@moirapledger9153]

How do you begin to draft the pattern for a corset?

[@LomisPlayground]

I like to make corset patterns with draping, wrapping the doll's body with fabric and pinning where I need it to be sewn. It can be done with measurements, but I find it's much more complicated and takes a lot longer than draping patterns.

[@sherrywaldron-dennis2487]

The pattern is not loading 😢

[@LadySubaru62]

Can I ask what size doll this is for. I'm looking for a corset to fit a volks sd girl.

[@LomisPlayground]

The pattern is drawn for Iplehouse nYID, which is a 58cm SD. I just checked the corset on the dress form I have for Volks SD girls and it looks like it's pretty close to fitting, it just might need a few adjustments in the bust.

[@ellenjane4105]

Does the pattern downloadable on your website have seam allowances included?

[@LomisPlayground]

Yes it does ^^ Any time it's not included (I think there's only one or two patterns where the pieces were too large to include it) it will say directly on the piece itself. Otherwise, they all include them and are ready to sew.

[@ellenjane4105]

@@LomisPlayground That’s amazing! What is the seam allowance you use? 1/2 inch? Btw your KZbin channel and website are both absolutely wonderful resources! You obviously put a lot of thought, effort and creativity into them and I’m very grateful and impressed! 😍

[@LomisPlayground]

@@ellenjane4105 I use 1/4 inch for my doll clothes, because it makes for much tighter, bulk-free curves without trimming, and that way it aligns with the edge of most standard sewing machine feet, so it's easy to see exactly where you need to be if guides get covered up. ^^ It takes a minute to get used to it, but it's plenty to keep the edges from sucking into most machines.

Where do you find such tiny eyelets? :)

[@LomisPlayground]

I get them from the scrapbooking section at my local craft store! They have them in all different colors and they have some that are shaped like flowers and things, too. :D

[@moirapledger9153]

You can cheat and use small zip ties as boning

[@LomisPlayground]

That's a great idea!

[@drekson23]

why bjd clothes are way cheaper compared to over priced clothes of 1/6 tbleague body?

[@LomisPlayground]

The smaller the clothes, the harder they are to sew. It's much, MUCH harder to sew in 1:6 scale than 1:3, just like it's harder to sew in 1:3 scale than it is to sew human-sized clothing, which is less expensive than doll clothes! So the price is set based on difficulty + extra time and attention needed for good results + special equipment needed to make tiny things + expertise of the person making the product :)

[@saigesmith9029]

Would this pattern work on smart doll??

[@LomisPlayground]

I think it would be close, but would require a few adjustments because while they are the same height, the Smart Doll is a little more slender. If you are able to reduce the width to 85% while leaving the height at 100% it would be much closer to fitting :)

[@AutumnMurder]

They're 1/8th inch eyelets from the scrapbooking section at my local craft store.
