for those of you asking, there isn't a badge for this video! I didn't have time to make a badge, sadly. However, I will be a panelist on Just Julij's channel tomorrow (August 20th) at noon EST (link: czcams.com/video/9oRS0jIFtgQ/video.html) and there is a badge for that!
Thank you for sharing your fitting process! Appreciated the note about seeing where the "rabbit ears" on the front piece can go, and how you adjusted the pattern to take care of it. Cardboard mockups are so helpful when it comes to stays, IMHO.
Really appreciate your thinking to mention an option for people with hand pain. It's definitely an obstacle: used to LOVE eyelets and now they're my bane 🤣
@@GraciePattenSewing finger pain from getting a needle through all the layers of fabric I have tried pushing the fabric down on the needle with the needle wedged into a board, pliers, different thread, different needles, on and on Absolutely awful. Makes it so close to impossible. Takes hours an eyelet sometimes. Hope you're doing well
Excuse me, but you are no « internet random »! your CoCovid stays’ tutorial served me as a guide for my first stays. Thank you so much for this lovely fitting tutorial
I would have never thought of a cardboard mockup! Definitely will try that whenever I'll make stays... that might be a long time in the future but still
Hey! I really enjoyed last year's stays. they helped a whole lot when i was clueless. btw, mine didnt turn out nearly so well, but as we do, new ones are planned.
Great video! I'm planning on making my own pair of stays soon. I've made my pattern but have been putting off making a mock up of it, but I think your cardboard mockup might be the trick to get me to work on them again, so thanks! As someone who also makes videos, I appreciate all the moments where you do the thing at awkward angles to make the filming angle clear and informative ;P
So totally off topic, but I love that dark green foxes fabric 😍 did you make it and buy that fabric somewhere? (Hope so, though might still not be able to get the fabric here in the Netherlands)
Thank you for noting that the stays'll shrink some due to the boning. The first time it happened to me I was so darned confused D: About the book, is it (mainly) about women's clothing? I might try to get my hands on a copy
@@mione3690 there are badges! just not for my videos; I forgot to try to make them. Costume Close-Up has masculine and feminine clothing - it's a great resource! I would recommend finding a used copy if you can, as I think its price has gone up.

Thanks for letting us know! Still excited to learn?

I love cardboard mockups!
Obligatory comment to make the algorithm*
But honestly thanks for sharing your tips on how to save time with a cardboard mock up
The cardboard idea is genius! Love it.
Really appreciate your thinking to mention an option for people with hand pain. It's definitely an obstacle: used to LOVE eyelets and now they're my bane 🤣
they can be pretty annoying!

Hope you're doing well
@@annedavis3340 hope you're doing well as well! metal eyelets are just as good usually if those are an option for you

aww I'm glad my videos have been helpful!
I would have never thought of a cardboard mockup! Definitely will try that whenever I'll make stays... that might be a long time in the future but still
it works pretty well!
I'm just about to start my first set of 18th century stays so this video has perfect timing. Thank you!
Love your shirt, love the video!
I bought a copy of Costume Close-up in the U.K., from Amazon.
Thank you
Good job darling! Proud of you for working so hard on this!
I didn't see who this was at first and I was like wtf who is this lol. thanks dear
@@GraciePattenSewing ha sorry for freaking you out. I wanted to tell you Im prouuuuud of youuu
Hey! I really enjoyed last year's stays. they helped a whole lot when i was clueless. btw, mine didnt turn out nearly so well, but as we do, new ones are planned.
good luck with your new stays!

this is fascinating! I can't wait for tomorrow's video!
yay!
Totally doing this for the stays i wanna make, itll probably be easier because im going for a front closure lol
haha definitely
Like the shirt BTW
thank you!
i'm so jealous of all you americans that can get costume close-up, it seems like such a wonderfull book
I didn't know it wasn't available abroad! maybe there's an ebook?
I would’ve never thought to use cardboard!
Gracie the stays Queen does it again! Does the boning change the fit very much, or does it just smooth things out?
it smooths things out and it makes them a little smaller (marginally so)
So totally off topic, but I love that dark green foxes fabric 😍 did you make it and buy that fabric somewhere? (Hope so, though might still not be able to get the fabric here in the Netherlands)
thank you! I got the overalls from ModCloth
@@GraciePattenSewing ooh thanks, they seem to deliver in the Netherlands as well 😁
I think you forgot to link for the form to collect the badge.
sorry, no badge! I didn't remember to make one :(
Thank you for noting that the stays'll shrink some due to the boning. The first time it happened to me I was so darned confused D:
About the book, is it (mainly) about women's clothing? I might try to get my hands on a copy
oh, and are there badges this year? :)

Is there a CoSy badge link for this video?
sorry, there isn't! I wasn't on top of everything enough to make a badge in time lol
Can you make me one😢
