You're so welcome Justin! I'm creating some online fashion design courses, which I will be launching soon. I would love to hear your feedback, would you be interested? Good luck with your fashion show!
I'm currently making the dress you're using as an example. I'm rather new to fashion sewing, but I LOVE it and I really chose it because the pattern was in the easy section...I feel that it's kind of hard though for a beginner. I wanted to thank you though because without your tutorials and sew along, I'd be totally lost. So thanks so much for your easy to follow instructions!
First, there will be a stay within the waist which aids the structure of the bodice and the boning will be structured according to the type of dress. Hope that helps.
In short, you would work from the side seam, along the waist line and then down approx 6 - 8 cm's (it all depends on size) and then draw a line from that point, back to the side seam. This section would than be cut away and this would create the initial shaping for the pocket. Once done, take a piece of paper, placing it over the section where the pocket is to be placed, then draw out the bag of the pocket (the front) and then the back. The back pocket will come from the waistline.
The video was very informative and clear to understand. Could you please tell me how a strapless gown/dress is made to stay on, any special method? Thank you.
Hi, Thanks for the question. Rather than me go on and on, try watching one of my tutorial video's which covers this subject. The video is entitled - How to cut knitted fabric. That should certainly help. Any other problems then please do get back to me.
I have always used this method when adding boning and I'm unsure if there are other ways in which to get this effect. The channel itself, as far as I'm concerned, is needed as it will stop the boning from having direct contact with the skin. Hope that helps.
For the dress I a making, a 50s style wiggle with a sweat heart neckline, I am wanting to bone the bodice area. Would I use lining or can I use it rather?, my fashion fabric is a light weight cotton. So far u have made one using calico which turned out great thanks to your online tuition
This helps so much! Thank you. I sew small animal items and am looking into the best ways to add 3D support (to say, a tunnel). Especially something that, if exposed from chewing, won't hurt them. :)
I'm making a strapless sweetheart neckline dress and I'm just starting out with designing my own clothes so I was wondering in which seams I would put the boning. Thanks, hope you can help!
Megan Rumney I'm doing the same for a college project. I'm putting boning in all princess seams :) so the 2 at the frit and back. You could also put more in on the side seams if it needs it and depending where the zipper is .
HI. You're quite correct! The seam would need to run from waist to the bust area. I do have a blog online, fashionsewingblog Come and pay me a visit. Thanks for the question.
Thank you for showing us this. I watched a video of someone making a corset a few years ago, the boning the person used looked more like fabric, and the fishing lines inside could be pulled to make the boning bend sideways around a seam, I wondered if you could tell me if this type of boning is still used, and if so what is it made of?
@@colleenglea Hi, thank you for replying. The boning was being used by Tatiana from The Dressmaking academy. Hope it is ok to send links 🤔 sorry if it isn’t. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/zLRlwCo00fo/v-deo.htmlsi=0dCSlD59ZbuBd3Mb
I am making a bodice with a sweat heart neckline, would I create a seam which goes right up from the waist to the bust area as in corsets? Do you have a blog online ? Thanks krissie
Hi Mrs. Colleen, I have a question and also need your help. I purchased about 4 yards of knit fabric and I washec it. I folded it in half and placed it on the table to put my pattern pieces on and now the fabric is like it not even or crooked. How can I fix this problem?
If I were to include boning onto the front of my dress, do I follow the same steps as your video, or am I supposed to bend and shape them first with a heat gun or iron, and then insert them into the seams?
Hi Kim, It really depends on the style and effect you are trying to create in the garment, both methods will work just keep in mind how much control you want the boning to have.
Hello Shamila, If you are interested in that method it is worth joining my UA-cam CGL membership. Where your request will be answered in-depth to help with your sewing projects. Here is the link - ua-cam.com/channels/1zt.html

@@colleengleato hi
Thank you so muchhhhh
I’m sewing a Cinderella dress and I’ve never worked with boning before so this was super super helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment Enolp.

Thank you Yah Yah, sew happy your enjoyed my tutorial.

Always a great pleasure to hear my tutorial video's help. Thanks.
Great tutorial, direct and straight to the point. Not like the chatty talking heads on youtube.
Thank you Sandragail.
Thank you and it's great to have you on board.
Yes you. Boning is ideal for swimsuits and helps the garment keep its shape.
First, there will be a stay within the waist which aids the structure of the bodice and the boning will be structured according to the type of dress. Hope that helps.
Thank you Krystal and good luck with this, and all of your fashion sewing projects.

Super interesting. Thank you for demonstrating this and making it simple to understand!!

Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! It made making my corset a lot less daunting
You're so welcome Calllie! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
If you're using a light weight fabric, I'd interline / interface the fabric and then insert the boning into the lining.
Hi, Thanks for the question. Rather than me go on and on, try watching one of my tutorial video's which covers this subject. The video is entitled - How to cut knitted fabric. That should certainly help. Any other problems then please do get back to me.

Fabulous video. Could you do a how to line a skirt tut from start to finish? Thank you so much.
There's nothing wrong with the editing!

Thank you So do you put the boning in the main garment or the lining?
Into the lining!
Thank you, that was really helpful 😊
No problem Sandra B.! Glad I could help.
Hi, thanks for the comment. Your request is on the list.
Is boning used to make the top of a bustier stay fitted to the chest?
Haha. Happy to help.
Great presentation :) Thank you :)
Glad I could be of help soraninja! Thanks for commenting.
U R great. Your demonstrations are so very helpful.. Would U please give a demonstration on closing necklines on a shirt or jacket.. Thank U
My Young Men on a shirt it’s made on a overlocker. That’s how all shirts are made!
Perfect demonstration and very neat work!! #sewinggoals
Thank you Ebony.
Thank you again.
Hi! would you apply boning in a swimsuit top the same way? Would you do a sample?
Thanks!
No problem.
Very useful Thank-You!

Super helpful
Glad it helped Beata, thanks for commenting.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Thank you 🙏🏻🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You’re welcome 😊
You're better sewing boning into the lining but you can add it to fabric using tape if need be.
Hi Brillant Video but one thing that confused me. Did you sew the boning into the lining or into the fabric?
It's best to sew it into the lining.
Thank you so much.
Thank u so much for sharing.
I think mine was around 1.5cm's (it can be narrower).
Im making a dress with boning so would the boning be put just above the waist or is there a standard length ???
The boning will go just above the waist.
I use a nail file to round off the boning after cutting it😉
A good idea, thanks for sharing Liana.
Great job.
Thanks Ursla Shelton
How would you alter a man's short pattern to have a J or Western pocket to it?
Do I have to make the seam larger so the boning can fit in or will the pattern allow for that when cutting it out ?
+Mary Bagley In most cases you will not need larger seams.
Thank you. I was unsure if I needed to buy more fabric to allow for the boning in the seams. I appreciate your help. Mary
tx for sharing, very helpful
No problem at all. Thank you.
Can you file the edge round?
Yes you can.
What width/ mm of plastic boning should I use for bodice?
It depends on the style and size of the bodice, I would start with 2.5 cms xiao suing.
@@colleenglea oh okay, thanks.
I believe that's regiline.. We can also stitch on it with open seam, right?
+Kelvin Mateo
Yes! But be careful when sewing into it.
I have it in my wedding dress can I take it out?
Yes you can Holly.
Okay thank you so much
that cool
Thank you Laureen Elsa Phelan!
i didn't know that so i learn it
It is use as crinoline
It can be!
Why don't one show the bust how to put binding ..not only on a straight line

It’s important to have a bone able dress
Dresses with boning gives it more structure, and a couture look to any garment.
They were in the past, poor whales!! :)
This is very badly edited - almost unable to listen to it.
