To trace darts or lines on your fabric, what I was taught ages ago, was to put a pin through the paper and the fabric, lift the paper very carefully and draw a dot with your fabric marker where the pin goes through the fabric. Then take the paper off and connect the dots into lines. Hope this makes sense. 🍀
Thanks for the video. I'm currently making the AD simplicity 8162. I was really interested to see the tack and whipstitch technique for construction. I hadn't come across that info yet. Yours look 😎 cool. Thanks!
I did the same with my boning channels with my stays. Marked the top and the bottom of each bone and connected with a ruler. Made sure they were the same width. I was also adding bones, since the simplicity that I used was only half boned. But it worked out. I’m just folding down the seam allowance now.
Very nice. 👍 Ps. A thing I've noticed about the fit on Mariah Patties stay vidios, is if you shorten the back and lengthen the front, you get a much better posture and a cute figure a bit like a Barbie doll. Having the long back (like all the patterns I've come across do) pushes your hips forward and your belly out and give you a not good posture (which is terrible for my poor back). She also successfully uses a zipper front closure, streamlined the construction process, and added cups or underbust pads, which are apparently historically accurate.
I've never made the AD ones but the seem to run short waisted on people? I really enjoy that the Augusta ones have a "curvy" and a "straight" version and even the straight one makes me FEEL curvy
That was the mistake I made, and that's what the pattern instructions said to do, to sew the seems together like you would in any other modern patern 😞. Now many TH-cam videos later, I think I'm confident enough to give it a forth try. 😊

Thank you for making this video. I'm about to start this pattern and it really helps to see someone construct it!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! I'm just getting ready to make these. Your shape and skills are similar to my own. Watching you gave me confidence and I learned a few tips
I'm so glad it was helpful! I've found they've only become more comfortable the more I wear them.

Tip: when using e-patterns, print your pattern pages on a card stock paper. Then they aren't flimsy copy paper.
So what did that poor puppy do to earn the Cone of Shame?
I think you did a great job on the stays.
She got an abrasion at the dog park and wouldn't stop licking it. Now she's fine 😊
They look great!
Eu gosto de fabricantes que fazem suas próprias peças a mão
After frustrations with the AD stays pattern, Scroop was suggested to me. Hoping I have as good a luck as you did!

Ah! sew down the seam allowance THEN stitch the pieces together....
it feels weird from a modern sewing perspective but makes a nice flat-no-rubby seam when you're done :-)
