Making A Reversible Corset Top 🌷 Sew With Me

[@annie.sanders]

I have that pattern! it's really good. and I actually made a reversible one too. one side is solid black and the other green tartan

[@Loepsie]

Ohhh I need to get my hands on it!

[@annie.sanders]

@@Loepsie definitely. I made it without measuring and ended up a bit tight in the bust so definitely measure when you get your hands on the pattern. totally worth it. it's versatile and easily adjustable. two of the designs have a princess seam so it's very useful when you want to finesse the pattern into a bodice for a dress. or even an 18th century bodice

[@liv97497]

@@annie.sanders same here! I found that the princess seam makes it really easy to adjust, and I've used it a lot as a base for tight bodices!

[@juicefranklin5100]

@@Loepsie It feels really wonderful

[@mariabonacasa2059]

Could you tell me where can I find the pattern? Thnx 😊

[@liv97497]

It turned out absolutely adorable! This is the perfect project to use up scrap fabric, it uses really small pieces and it looks good even without pattern matching. I have the butterick pattern and it's so good! It's really easy to alter and you can get a lot more than the 4 options it shows you. My preferred alteration is to take out the princess seam and make it straight, do 2 or 3 rows of boning down the front and a couple diagonal rows on the side. It looks so flattering that way. I also changed the armscye to make it a smooth curve in the back, and that way you can adapt the bodice into something with sleeves, even!

[@danischi4080]

I *might* have made plans to go to Ikea tomorrow and purchase 5 Meters of this beautiful fabric...

[@evelyneca7454]

Oh no I also ordered that pattern last week and they said the delivery time was unknown. I hope it won't be months till it gets here 😱 I have also adjusted my simplicity pattern for a more modern looking corset haha. My front dips down into a point but I really like how yours is more straight at the bottom. That is probably more wearable with pants and skirts! I might have to adjust it again. Yay another excuse to make more corsets. I usually am too timid to try a bold pattern but the blue side is really convincing me to give it a go! Yours came out really nice! Love it!

[@annie4424]

It turned out so cute! I have a corset in my UFO bin; you’ve inspired me to finish it up. Maybe make it reversible? 🧐

[@ambersmith2612]

I need a UFO bin my unfinished projects are starting to pile up 😬

[@auditoryeden]

Reversible is hard with a busk, you'd have to do a front and back lacing situation or have it much less adjustable.

[@annie4424]

@@auditoryeden The style corset I’m making doesn’t have a busk; no worries there.

[@charischannah]

I have that vest/corset pattern. So far I have made it three times--twice as a vest and once as the bodice for a dress. It's easy to make and looks fantastic, and it's relatively easy to tweak for fit.

[@Emmely454]

Do you know where I could find this pattern?

[@KitchenTableChatsENM]

I also made two reversible stays from the pattern you’re wanting. I had to go down 2-3 sizes which I hear is common with that pattern so keep that in mind 💗

[@JoelleGrace]

This was sooo relaxing to watch while hand sewing! I am currently finishing the seams on a 1930’s pantsuit that I drafted and designed (so so excited to be making my own patterns again!!) and it is so therapeutic! I LOVED this! You have convinced me!😂 I need to make me some fashion stays! I have been loving the look!

[@shellsbellswac1]

I love hand-sewing while watching sewing videos too! So relaxing and I feel like it keeps the motivation and excitement of a project coming!

[@JoelleGrace]

@@shellsbellswac1 yes! Its like we are sitting in a room together visiting! I love it! And I feel that I can relate to the video more because I am currently sewing as well!

[@dawngable4622]

Adorable. You could where the green side with floral blouse similar to the white one you had on.

[@paulakakin1925]

Brilliant! This is exactly what I've been wanting to make. You have helped so much with all your hard work. Plus I actually own that same pattern so now I can start making some! Thanks so much for making this video.

[@fictionalhuman]

Oh yes, yes, yes!!! Both sides look fantastic!!

[@makeda6530]

I love fashion stays and vests, they're so cute, I've been meaning to make some. Yours came out so cute!

[@alexandraanastasiadis4653]

You can always order the patterns digital from MCAlls and such which doesn’t take much if it’s a small pattern. I recently got a truly Victorian pattern and sent it off to a print shop here in Germany. Took 2 days and saves a lot of time since it was 60 pdf pages 🤣 An option if ur wanting a specific pattern.

[@schwarzemarotte3824]

Great tip! Do you have a source where this particular pattern is available digitally? Can‘t find it for the life of me :-/ the Butterick B4669

[@alexandraanastasiadis4653]

[@pwhite2579]

busy vs subdued sides? if you made 10 of these what colors would you use? A rainbow (red to violet) or shades of just a couple of colors? (preferences).

Loving the corset a lot, but also loving the pink dress at the end of the video!!! I just want all of your wardrobe, just in black because I'm goth lol ♥

[@robynr]

I absolutely love how it turned out. I have not made a corset or stays yet. I made the lining of a mock up and thats as far as I got. Haha But this is beautiful and I love that you made it reversible. I now want to make it and with the ikea fabric as well. 😁💕

[@raraavis7782]

Very, very cute. Your sewing is really on point lately. You know your style, you know what suits you...love it.

[@SierraMascara28]

I actually really love the green side the most! Great job!!!

[@sb4759]

I sent you a small amount of $ today as I decided I have had so much enjoyment and spent a lot of time watching the videos you have made. I love the different interests you have and varied topics you have covered. I appreciate the cleanness of your channel. I don't have to worry about negativity overwhelm which I love. I live in the USA, Western Washington State, where we get a lot of rain and a mild climate. The thing we are famous for is Mount Saint Helens blowing it's side out and causing major damage to the eastern side of the state. That was an experience, I can tell you! As we live about 40 miles from the mountain and had spent many camping weekends up on it's slopes! :)

[@Loepsie]

Ahh thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

[@cziegle3794]

Yay to 540 and top 49 likes and comments. Love this content. Best to you and your family. Happy sewing.

[@MadameHoot]

I made this today!!! thank you for the video, it gave me the courage to try another corset pattern. I think it came out alright. I don't know much about negative ease and I didn't spend a lot of time trying to adjust the pattern's measurements; besides cutting the hips section out and rounding out the bottom hem. So all in all it's not the *best* silhouette, but with my flouncy blouse and maxi-skirt I am ready for the ren-faire!! I did put eyelets in the shoulder straps to adjust them because I also didn't trust myself to lengthen the armscye enough. I love tying everything together with the ribbons anyways. I went for a more rustic approach and I only finished the bottom hem with binding tape (aka I need this tomorrow and had to give up on finishing all the curvy edges). Maybe another day I can sit down and finish the edges properly because I would LOVE to incorporate this into an everyday look. Awesome video, I will definitely check out your other videos for inspiration again!

[@kida4star]

Agree, this is delightful and I want a closet full!

[@kirstenlabenne8992]

I have that black and white pattern that I need to get back to help complete or at least coordinate my wardrobe. When I first was introduced to the pattern my eyes lit up and knew I needed that to go with my outfits that are bohemian style and recycled thrifted clothes to tie them together more. Random skirts and shirts that basically couldn’t work before.

[@a.k.v.3042]

I love how your bodice turned out! I've used the pattern you want - a lot. I've made the one with the peplum, and a bunch of the one with fixed straps without the peplum - it's perfect for general faerie tale costuming (which I have done a bunch of for some theatre in my community. I used quilting cotton mostly for both the front and back, with an inner layer of muslin for stability. It's a pretty easy pattern if you can get it!

[@TIMAbyFK]

This is incredible!! So beautifully made, great fabric pairing and execution!

[@mereschreibstein8939]

I just have to say how much I really enjoy your videos. It's the perfect amount of talking / narration, music, and visuals 💜

[@sunshinecv8934]

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

Very cute! It reminds me of the top of a German Dirndle dress. I would have liked to see how you drafted the shoulder straps onto the bodice top.

[@abigailchaffin1502]

[@meankatrina]

I made a pinafore out of that ikea fabric a couple years ago. It's my absolute favorite and it's so beautiful!!!

Absolutely gorgeous.. and I think the length actually looks perfect. It’s super flattering. If love this in like a corduroy fabric.. or velvet.. or faux leather. So many options!

[@odsmey]

That Pattern is so good! I am in the process of making it. I actually have both size ranges. I could not find the smaller size range for the longest time, then found the pattern on Amazon. Realized it was the bigger range when it arrived and finally got the smaller range from some shop I found through a lot of googling. When I went to make it, I realized that the smallest size of the bigger range is what I should make according to the measurements they give, even though I am usually one or two sizes smaller ... I still need to do the final binding and make the eyelets, but I want to wear it so badly!!

[@Lenelai]

Oh i love it ! It is the Simplicity 8162 ?

[@Mittens5824]

It looks really cute! One thing I would suggest if you want to make more of these stays is, maybe make a toile using the full pattern and once you have fitted it, make the alterations :) Looking forwards to more of your creations!

[@mariekelley7557]

Great job!! Also - so curious which show you decided to binge!

[@Loepsie]

Gentleman Jack! 😂

[@ispeakelvish]

omg yesss, i’ve been wanting to make one of these myself! ❤️‍🔥

[@neon-kitty]

This looks great! My only suggestion, if you make another one, would be to maybe detach the straps from the front of the bodice and instead fix them to the front using eyelets and laces like in 18th-century stays. I think it would make the straps lay nicer. (Although I'm not entirely sure if it would look right with a corset that's this low-cut... hmmm, just food for thought xD.)

[@SemekiIzuio]

Love it! Love corsets! But I always struggle with or without boning because I dont want to make my back weak

Thank you! I've more or less given up on CGM again 🙈 It was too much work for the results I was getting and I didn't see any improvements even after a couple months of doing it. I've resorted back to overnight curling on non-wash days!

The corset looks amazing! I really liked the green side with the pink dress; they matched! Also the length isn’t too noticeable considering the waistlines of your clothes are quite high 😅

[@aksez2u]

If you wanted to, you could cut those shoulder straps in the front and re-attach with grommets and ribbon ties. It would require a bit of a binding redo, but might be worth it. I think it would look cute, too! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

ive tried to make this same thing with the same stays pattern and also trying to make it reversible. im scared to take out the basting stitches though bc im worried itll look weird if the seams aren't matched up. have you run into issues with it feeling weird or uneven if the seams shift a little bit? i would do a line of topstitching but i don't have a machine and because of the amount of fabric my running stitches look messy and uneven and not in a cute way lol
