Hello, my lovely!

Come sew along with me as I create the Gina Bustier. In this video tutorial, you'll learn how to sew the lovely Gina from start to finish, and the skills in this video will work for both the waist-length and the midriff-length versions.

You'll learn:

  • An alternative method for sewing picot lingerie elastic
  • How to work with power net
  • A couture-worthy technique for interior finishing that hides all the seams

Hope you love this video & find it helpful! Don't forget to download this pattern and instructions in the separate Gina Bustier post.

xoxo,
Gertie

Is there an alternative to using boning channels and is there an alternative to the power mesh ❤️

I substituted both on one of my tops: used a stable ponte knit instead of power mesh and also finished seams on a serger then press both to the side and stitch down, creating a boning “channel” out of the seam allowances. Will work with zig-zag finished seams as well. You can press them together the same direction as you would a dart, depending on seam location. Or press open, and sew each one separately, this will create a double boning channel so you’ll need double the bones.

Is it a lightweight or medium weight fusible fleece? Or does it just depend on your fashion fabric?
