I've heard about reinforcing eyelets with leather, but I've never seen how, so that is a video I would be very interested in seeing! Also, look at you using Actual Tools to sand your boning! I'll admit that last time I just used a rock...
These look amazing! I never have thought to do stays with the seam allowances sewn like that and your sewing binding close up was very helpful to me! I can't wait to try this method for a future stay creation!
What pattern did you use for your shift? I feel like the one I made doesn’t have the right neckline and the sleeves feel rather bulky under my bodice sleeves.
Anna Keller, @eighteenthcenturyscot on Instagram, made it for me! For the shifts that I've made, I just use a cutting diagram, and cut the neckline on myself. As for the sleeves, you can make a shift with shorter, un-gathered sleeves (accurate to the 1780s and 1790s)

Wow. Another gorgeous pair of stays! What are your opinions on using zip ties as boning?
I've used them, and they work pretty well, especially in more heavily boned stays.
I believe we have that kettle at church.

Have you had any issues with reed boning in older stays snapping over time with use?
yep! last year's stays have a lot of snapped bones, and I'm gonna make a video about replacing bones in stays.
@@GraciePattenSewing Looking forward to it! I haven't seen anyone anywhere document this process
Are stays like a period bra? What about well endowed women? Do you design them to just smush everything?
From what I understand they’re supposed to distribute the weight to your waist
And many stays have crescent pillows that support the bust
That being said, there are an infinite amount of different types that create different shapes
And yes, exactly it was the bra
