Hat to Hem | Sew-Along 18th Century Undergarments: Part 5: Stays (Round 1) @HattoHem | Uploaded March 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This is the fifth of a new series of videos I'll be making to help anyone who wants to try to make 18th Century Undergarments.

In this video, I'll suffer through the stays making process. Okay, it really wasn't THAT bad. I'll show you the easy, not historically accurate way to make stays. This video covers construction and binding the tabs.

As I say MULTIPLE times in this video "It's not pretty, but it gets the job done!"
