Cats Costumery | 18th Century Stays in a Day: A Mistake @CatsCostumery | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
Hello everyone and welcome to a new video!
This video is a lesson on overestimating abilities (or time management, take your pick). I decided to make 18th century stays using the Scroop Pattern August Stays pattern. I had purchased this previously as I attempted stays before, but I had fussed too much with and it hadn't clicked. This time though, it absolutely did! I am very very happy with the result, as I think the pattern turned out really well with minimal fitting or alterations needed.
I used under two meters of heavy weight linen, and less than a meter of fusible buckram interfacing. I also used about six meters of linen binding, cut on the straight from the fabric itself, and some linen thread for the handsewn finishing. For the machine sewing, I used plain Gutterman All sewing thread. With hand done eyelets and other hand finishing (that can be done away with for a faster turn around), these stays took me 25 hours to complete over the spread of four days. As I mentioned, this was really intense on the body, my hands hurt from the boning, and my back hurt from everything else, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, haha. I wanted to push myself and to get this project done quickly, and I am glad I now have stays!
Leave me a comment below as to which 18th century project I should attempt first
