1 Waist Cincher Pattern Sewing Instructions Corset pattern by Linda Sparks of Farthingales

2 CB CF The corset on the left was made using this pattern. There are four pieces for each side of the body Both top and bottom have points at front and back The front seams are piped and include invisible bone casings The mid panel bone casings are invisible except for decorative stitching The top edge has been piped and bound I used an antique brass busk The chain embellishment was a thrift store find Before You do Anything This pattern is a simple waist cincher corset pattern, designed for those who are new to corset making it s a great first project. With only 4 pieces per side of the body, this is a four panel corset pattern which means it s pretty easy and fairly fast to put together. These are the four pattern pieces that you ll have printed off in full size. 3 Front Cut Side Back Cut 2 Back Cut 4 Side Front Cut 2 These pages of instructions are for basic construction and do not include steps for invisible or decorative bone casings or for piped bindings or floating busks. The maroon corset was made for my Craftsy Class; Custom Corsets, Bones,Casings and Busks and you can find more advanced information if you take the class The pattern pieces can be printed on any printer and requires standard size ( 8 ½ x 11) printer paper There is a 1 x 1 square on the sheets check that it does measure 1 x 1 (do not use scale to fit page printing option). See page 12 for instructions to print if your squares are not 1 The patterns are sold in 3 size groupings; size 18-26, size 28-36, and size They fit waist dimensions 22-30, and respectively You will receive the size group that you ordered one group only as each group is a single file The patterns DO NOT include Seam Allowance!!! (see instructions below to add SA ) Some size groups may have pattern pieces that extend beyond the standard size printer paper this will require you to tape two pieces together. These are clearly marked. 1

3 Start by looking over the pattern pieces and familiarize yourself with the markings. For example: there are 4 pieces, note the Centre Front (CF) line, Busk length, Cut x #, size indicators on the sides, grain lines etc. Next, read all the instrucitons I know, what a drag, but it will help! The notches serve two purposes; they indicate which piece the pattern is and they are matching points to connect the pieces. They are important. Sizes indicate the waist measure of the corset pattern which is designed to be 4 smaller than the body waist measurement, that the corset will fit. Example: a corset pattern marked size 26 will measure 26 from the CF (center front) line to the CB (center back) when all the pieces are put together this is the size you need if you have a 30 waist [ gap between the center back pieces + 2 reduction of your waist = 30 ). To determine the pattern size that you need to use, subtract 4 from your waist measurement. If your waist is not an even number example: if your waist is 31 (31 4 = 27) you can use either the size 26 or 28 I would suggest using the size 28 as you can always take it in. Note: Your waist it ABOVE your belly button and below your ribcage! You will need some basic tools to make this corset: sewing machine number 14 sewing machine needle (should be a new one) regular foot for sewing machine zipper foot for sewing machine scissors awl grommet setter a grid ruler that you can see through You will need some not so basic materials: a busk (front clasp) in 8,9 or 10 length depending on pattern size bones your choice of synthetic whale bone, spiral or spring steel grommets (for the back) foundation fabric coutil is the professional choice.but 100% cotton poplin is an option fashion fabric and trim are optional poster board from the dollar store & glue stick(optional) These patterns DO NOT include seam allowances you may choose to use 3/8 for narrow easy to bind seam allowances but I recommend using 1 seam allowances to make your mock-up. You can trim the seam allowances down after you ve done your alterations. Using 1 seam allowance gives you lots of room to adjust the fit of the corset. NOTE: the top and bottom edges do not get seam allowance added these get bound so are already at the finished length. If you add to the top and/or bottom it will change the length of busk you need as well as the length of bones (not an issue if you re cutting your bones from a coil of boning) 2

4 Set up to Cutting 1. Tape any pieces together that need to be this is only required for larger sizes where the pattern pieces don t fit on a single sheet of paper. 2. Using a marker or highlighter draw around the pattern size you will be using. Don t cut it out until after you have added seam allowance. 3. Label the pattern pieces in the top corners with 1,2,3 as indicated in the image on page 1. Don t skip this 4. Determine the width of seam allowance that you want. Example: I like to use 1 inch wide seam allowance that I can trim down after I ve done my fitting alterations. 5. Using a see-through ruler add 1 inch to all of the vertical seams with the exception of the center front and the center back. The center front line and the center back line are already marked on the patterns and have seam allowances of approximately 1 ½ inches. So you are only adding seam allowance to the vertical lines which have notches in them. There is no need to add seam allowance to the top or bottom edges. Keep the 1 mark, of the ruler along the line that indicates the size you want. Then draw along the outer edge of the ruler, pivot and slide the ruler as needed to keep the line parallel to the original size line and maintain the curve. 6. If necessary, you may need to add paper (tape on an extra sheet) in order to add seam allowance to the corset pattern if needed. 7. Be sure that your seam allowance is parallel to the original seam line. 3

5 8. Using a ruler, transfer the notch marks on to the lines that you just drawn, they should be at right angles to the lines. 9. Connect the top of the seam allowance and the bottom of the seam allowance to the main pattern by simply drawing a line perpendicular to the edges of the pattern. 10. REMINDER: There is no seam allowance required at the top or bottom of this corset pattern. The top and bottom will get bound with bias binding. Obviously, you can change the shape of the top and bottom edges, if you wish but keep in mind that doing so may change the length of the busk and bones you have purchased. 11. If you wish, use a glue stick to attach the pattern pieces to poster board. I do this as it allows me to trace around the pattern onto the fabric rather than pining the pattern to the fabric. Glue the pattern paper to poster board if you want to. Then cut the pattern out. 12. Cut the pattern pieces out, make sure they include seam allowance! 13. You need to cut at least two of each pattern piece, in fabric, in order to have a right side and a left side of your corset. You also need to cut 2 extra front pieces and two extra back pieces to act as facings. You can cut two layers of fabric at one time be sure the layers are right sides together. 14. Lay the pattern pieces onto the fabric with the grain lines parallel to the selvage 15. Pin the pattern pieces to the fabric or trace around them if you ve glued them to poster board 16. You need to use the front and back pattern pieces twice to get the 4 fronts and backs that you need. 4

6 17. Cut around each pattern piece and clip each notch, these clips should be no longer than indicated on the pattern, at less than quarter of an inch. Just use the tip of your scissors to make these little nips in the fabric 18. Also clip the top and bottom edges to indicate where you will be sewing. Example: if seam allowances are 1 wide clip a small notch 1 from the cut edge along both top and bottom pieces. These notches will remind you what your seam allowance is when you get to the machine. Here I ve notched the pattern when you would clip the fabric to indicate where your seam is. The image shows the seam line for size 26 with the seam allowance extending to the left (the white space). 19. If it helps, draw the seam line onto the corset fabric and draw the CF line on as well 20. Label the fabric pieces in the corners on the wrong sides of the fabric, with the numbers on the pattern piece corners; 1,2,3 (see Step 3 above) 21. Confirm that you have the correct number of pieces; 4 fronts, 4 backs, 2 side fronts and 2 side backs. If you re missing any, cut them out now. 5

7 Creating the Fronts - Applying the Busk The busk application outlined here is just the ordinary busk application. The pattern is adjusted for a floating busk as outlined in the Craftsy corset class Custom Corsets, Bones,Casings and Busks. 1. Lay out the pieces and identify them; mark the wrong sides if needed (two fronts and two facings) 2. Using a pencil/pen and ruler draw a line on each facing to indicate the Center Front (CF), if you have not already done so. In this sample the line should run from the point at the top to the point at the bottom 3. Using a ruler mark a line on the facing, 1/2 (13mm) from the top edge and 1/2 (13mm) from the bottom edge, at the CF line. These indicate the placement of the bindings so these lines run parallel to the top and bottom edges but only need to be about an inch long. The act as a guide for your busk placement. 4. Determine which front is the right hand front of the corset and pair it up with its facing 5. Place the two pieces right sides together, with the facing piece on top 6. Take the loop half of busk and lay it on the CF line, center it between the top and bottom drawn lines, with the loops facing the raw edge of the CF 7. Using a pencil/pen, mark the loop location on the CF line 6

8 8. Sew the facing and the front together by sewing along the CF line but NOT through the spaces that indicate the placement of the loops. 9. Press the seam, press it open and then press it closed 10. Slide the loops of the busk into the loop openings in the CF front seam 11. Using a zipper foot, stitch close to the busk with the facing against the sewing machine and the corset front on top. You are securing the busk in place between the front and front facing. The busk should be resting right against the seam, so that the loops are as far through the loop openings as possible. 12. Put the corset loop front, aside for later. 13. Sew the facing and front of the left hand side along the CF line, with right sides together 14. Go to the iron, press the seams, then press them open. Close the unit so that the wrong side of the facing is against the wrong side of the front and press the CF carefully 15. Edge stitch along the CF of the left hand front. No more than 1/8 (3mm) from the seam. 16. Place the two corset front pieces on the table with CF s together and the top and bottoms matched up. Shift the loop side front so that it s CF is on top of the edge stitching of the left hand side 17. Mark the placement for the knobs of the busk by using a pencil/pen and making a dot at the smallest part of each loop. Using an awl create a hole for the bottom knob by pushing and twisting the awl through the fabric from the wrong side. You are only creating a hole through the front and the front seam allowance. 18. Work the bottom knob of the busk through the hole you created. NOTE: the knob is not centered in busk and you want the narrower edge of the busk closest to CF seam. 19. Continue working one hole at a time until all knobs are through the holes 20. Using a zipper foot, sew close to the busk to secure it in place. Stitching with the facing against the machine and the corset front on top. You are stitching through all layers 21. Hook the busk loops over the busk knobs and appreciate what you have just accomplished! Points to remember: The loop side of the busk goes in the right hand side of the corset Edge stitching the left hand side of the corset is important as it helps block the gap between the two busk pieces The busk knobs are not centered and the narrow edge of the busk goes closest to CF Always press the seams, then press open and then press closed it really does make a difference Creating the Backs - Marking the Grommets Grommets, sometimes known as eyelets have two parts; the grommet and the washer. The grommet is typically the part that is on the right side of the fabric and is three dimensional. The washer is typically on the wrong side of the fabric helping to anchor the grommet in the fabric - it is quite flat in comparison to the grommet/eyelet. Grommets serve a function on a corset by holding the laces and allowing the tightening and loosening of the corset. 1. Pair the back pieces up so that you have two sets; each with two pieces with their right sides together 2. Draw a line from point to point (this indicates the center back line) 3. Sew along the line you ve drawn to secure the two pieces together, back stitch at both ends 4. Press the sewn line, then open the seam and press it open and then close the seam with wrong sides together and press the seam edge 5. Sew a line parallel to the center back seam and 3/8 away from it; this creates the first bone casing channel 7

9 6. Sew a second line 3/8 away from the first and parallel to it; this creates the channel for the grommets (use a ruler and a disappearing ink pen if necessary or use a regular pen and mark on the facing side) 7. Sew a third line 3/8 away from the second line and parallel to it; this creates the last bone casing channel 8. Using a see through ruler, draw a line down the center of the middle channel. The grommet holes will be centered upon this line. 9. Using the same ruler, mark the location of each grommet hole placement (on the facing side of one corset back only). The holes should be no more than 2.54cm (1 ) apart. You may choose to place grommet holes closer together around the waist of the corset for extra support. You re dividing the length of the back (within the seam allowance for the bindings) into equal sections and this will take you a bit of time to figure out. NOTE: these patterns are designed with ½ seam allowance factored into the top and bottom remember you don t add anything to the top or bottom of the pattern only to the sides. Each pattern back should be an even number in length, for example: 9 not 9 ½. This means you should be able to use even 1 inch increments to mark the grommet placements. START at ½ from the bottom or top edge I usually place a grommet right at the edge of the binding in order to get them close to the top and bottom. Then mark a spot at 1 intervals just draw a line across the center line so you can clearly see exactly where to punch the hope for your grommets. 8

10 10. Make the holes for the grommets using a hole punch. Holes for rivets are smaller than holes for grommets/eyelets so you need to know which item you are going to use before you make the holes. You are only making holes on one corset back only. Do not try and make the holes in both backs at the same time by holding the back pieces together and making a hole in both backs this almost always leads to inaccuracy. 11. Lay the back with the holes, on top of the back that does not yet have holes or marks for it (with wrong sides together) and using a pencil, mark the placement of the grommet holes for the second back. 12. Remove the piece that is already punched and check the placement of the grommet hole markings, correct any inaccurate marks. 13. Set grommets in all BUT the top and bottom holes; these need to wait until after the bindings are on at the end of the corset making process, but you can now lace the corset for fitting purposes and get a more accurate fit. Putting the Corset Together The fronts and backs of your corset are now done and the easy part is ahead of you! You can choose to create interior bone casings or exterior ones; I m going to guide your through exterior ones here. 1. Take one front and match it, with wrong sides together to the side front; if you labeled the pieces with 1,2,3 then you will have two differently shaped pieces that both have a number 1 in the top corner. These two corners go together. 2. Confirm that the single notches of each, match up. I do not pin the pieces as these curves are easier to sew if I do it organically matching the raw edges up as I sew. 3. Sew the seam using the seam allowance you opted to use. If the seam allowance is 1 you may want to draw it onto one of the pieces. Use a basting stitch unless you are sure the corset will fit! 4. Sew all the other seams in the same way. 5. Lace the corset back and try the corset on. REMEMBER the loops of the busk go in your right hand it s easy to put a waist cincher on upsie down if you don t remember this. 6. Pull the laces to get a snug fit 7. Check the fit and mark alterations right on the fabric. Since the pieces were sewn with wrong sides together the seams will face out from the body and are easily accessible to make alterations to. 9

11 8. Unlace the corset to remove it 9. Make the alterations as needed having basted the seams means you ll be able to rip seams out easily if you need to make any area larger. 10. Sew the seams with a default stitch to secure them for real 11. If you re using ¼ bones you can trim the bone casings to 3/8 or at most ½. 12. Bind the seams using bias strips that is 2 wide and has been folded down the middle 13. Align the raw edges of the bias with the raw edges of the corset 14. Lengthen the stitch slightly and sew the bias to the corset with the bias against the throat plate of the machine, so that you can see where not to sew you want to sew just a hair within the previous stitching. NOTE: stitch the bias strip on the corset piece that is closest to the front..except for the back one it should be sewn as it lays flat against the back piece. 15. Press the front seam and the side seam toward the back and press the back seam toward the front 16. Stitch the folded edge of the bias down to the corset to encase the seam allowance this can be tricky! Pin the bias in place first and be very aware of where you are sewing. 17. Slide bones into the casings. There should be spring steel bones (white) for the four casings at center back and spiral bones (grey) for the six on seam bone casings. Leave them sticking out top of the corset a bit 18. Make sure the bones are not near the bottom edge at all! 19. Bind the bottom edge of the corset using 2 wide bias that has not been folded. 20. Lay one raw edge along the raw edge of the corset, with right sides together. Make sure that the bias extends at least 1 beyond each end of the corset 10

12 21. Sew the bias to the corset, back stitch at both ends of the corset 22. Fold the extended ends of bias back to cover the end of the corset 23. Fold the length of the bias so that it rolls over the raw edge of the corset and the raw edge of the bias is rolled up inside - so no raw edges are exposed. 24. Press the bias in place and pin 25. Stitch the bias in place by stitching in the ditch from the front of the corset or by hand stitching the bias to the inside of the corset 26. Push the bones down into place and bind the top edge in the same way. 27. Lace the corset up and you re ready to wear it! 11
