Anything about the basics - how to use a sewing machine, how to do basic patterns, and the like! 💖
Yes! I can do that
i'd love to see how you might make a chemise or matching blouse! as somebody who has only quilted before your tutorials are so insanely wonderful, much love
Shelby Gardner I do have one I want to make, just been distracted and totally unorganized.
The name of serger pls
wait you actually made this process look so easy i'm definitely gonna try this
i want a cute cottage core dress but they’re so expensive!!! thank you so much for this, you saved me a couple hundred dollars 💖
Yay! I am glad to help
This is awesome. I always have problems finding good "how to" videos, that don't start you from the baby basics.
Thank you!
I do not sew as much, but this made me want to jump in the wagon because it was just SO BEAUTIFUL! 🥰
Awww, thank you!
After sewing my last bodice like a fool I decided to find help, this was really great!
I am so glad to help!
I followed this super easily and made one for a friend for this weekend's renaissance faire in like two days, so now I'm making myself one and I'm SO EXCITED. I made the pattern from her body and a tanktop that fit her well, and sized it up for myself with a few mods after the mockup since our bodies are different. I'm so proud of how hers came out and tailoring my own to fit. I'm in the sewing process finally after the patterning and can't wait to finish.
That is awesome! Hope you have a wonderful time at fair
Photos of this bodice being worn would be awesome, just curious about how tight it ended up being, since the "mockup" material you used was completely different from the material used to making the actual bodice
I haven’t gotten off my butt and finished my own bodice. It is just sitting there mocking me
@@PeldynMakes xD holy heck same, too many projects
I would love to have a (more modest) dress such as that. But fitting is such a challenge for me. 8 guess this is inspiration to work on my sloper.
You have a great teaching style. You address some of the small details of sewing I always have questions about, that other instructors don’t. You don’t chatter to fill in the space; you just say what’s important to say and leave silences otherwise. That helps me focus and learn more quickly. Also, I really appreciate the absence of background music! Well done.
Thank you. It was a difficult decision to make regarding editing
this is the first piece of clothing I've sewed and it came out wonderfully! I decided to try my hand at it on a whim instead of buying one and I couldn"'t be happier with this tutorial, thank you!!!
Yay!
This tutorial gave me so much clarity! I watched it twice and took notes and can’t wait to get started on my bodice! Thank you for such a clear video.
You got this!
I have a pattern that I drafted off a bodice I already own that fits me great but was completely lost at how to go about sewing it all together. Thanks for the video!
Hope this is the beginning of many bodices you make for yourself 🥰
I followed through all of the 3 videos and my end result looks so nice! If you make more tutorials I'm sure to watch them since the three so far were very easy to follow.
Yay!!! You will have to post pictures on Instagram
Thank you for putting these videos up!! I can’t believe I just made this!! I’m over the moon 🥳
Yay! Post a pic on Instagram and share the link here 🥰
I am so excited because you helped make a dream a reality for me! This tutorial was wonderfully concise, helpful for a person like me who disdains reading instructions but also is finicky about video instructions. Thank you so much!! 💛
Yay! It makes me happy to help
I love the way you sew! I can’t stand taking forever to pin every little thing you did the so quickly and it looks lovely
Unless I am working with velvet, I don’t pin much. Some velvet is so terrible it has to be glued because pins aren’t enough. I really, really, really, hate it but love how velvet garments look. It is a struggle.
Thank you for being so specific abut the order for sewing which seams. I have sewn myself, or rather my garment, into unrepairable corners. I am costuming a show, and will use your method to make vests for my actors. Thank you so much!
Costuming shows is such fun! Good luck!
Your videos are so helpful! I hope you continue to make more in the future. Love how smart you are and how easy you make everything look. Thank you!!!
My goal is to make sewing easy and fun. Glad you are enjoying the videos :)
Great tutorial. I was able to make my first bodice with this successfully! Thank you
Fantastic!
Anyone else getting started on their Renaissance festival costume 🌛
It is never too early to start on your ren faire costume ☺️
I FINISHED IT AND USING THIS TUTORIAL MY BODICE TURNED OUT SO NICELY, TYSM FOR THIS TUTORIAL
Thank you! This was easy to follow and I appreciate that. Love the tutorial and the finished bodice. ❤
This tutorial has been so helpful for me! I’m trying to remake a bodice for a friend that’s falling apart and its similar enough that your video has been perfect help!
Glad it was helpful!
Now I actually have the confidence to try to make that kirtle I wanted and that corded stay at wanted and that quilted vest I wanted. Just in time to get a few extra yards of fabric that will be perfect for this, before it sells out.
Excellent! That all sounds wonderful
master class in topology!
I have an intense interest in topology
@@Peldyn ❤
Thank you! You explain everything so easy for me to follow.
You are so welcome!
It's absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!
I am making this bodice as I type! Thank you so much for the instructions and taking the time to film this. It is greatly appreciated. :)
I hope this is the first of many bodices you make yourself 🥰
Awesome bodice. I like the brownish color for the second side.
This is exactly what I was looking for!! This tutorial is great, I was wondering roughly how much fabric did you use on this?
About half a yard for each side
I'm so excited to make my own bodice! Two questions: 1) What kind of fabric would be best to use? 2) How would I go about adding more boning around the entire bodice?
Use something heavy. Denim, upholstery fabric, heavy twill, etc.
If you want to add more boning in different places then make channels with parallel stitching. Use a seam ripper to open up one end of the channel at an edge, like the waist edge. You can close it when you are top stitching
This tutorial is so good!! Excited to make my own bodice!!
Thank you!
I am so grateful for these videos you've made! I am almost done with my corset and love the results!
That is fantastic! Would love to see pics :)
You made it look so easy! I’m amazed. It looks beautiful, and you’re quite charming ^^
I’ll try this out once I’ve got some more sewing experience.
Let me know how it turns out when you do :)
I'm actually glad that you showed how to do the bodice like this with minimal boning. Most I've seen have multiple points of boning and that's just not what I want to make. Is the metal boning necessary or could one get away with plastic zip ties or even just interfacing on the edging?
Depends upon how heavy your fabric is. The heavier the fabric, the less support you need. I don’t even have boning in my Irish dress.
Sorry, I replied with my other account, lol
Amazing helpful tutorial, off I go!!! Thank you!
You make it look so easy!
Thanks! Years of experience. I think I could make a bodice in my sleep. Probably have! LOL
how did you make the pattern for the bodice tho? thats what im struggling with the most, did u base it off an already existing garment?
I actually have a video for how I made the pattern! I suggest watching it and the video on how to pin fit
Thank you for this comment because I was struggling too!
Yes, thank you for this comment!
It turned out so pretty! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks and welcome!
what kind of fabric are these? especially the brown part?
The floral is a home decor fabric. The brown is a heavy cotton, ribbed weave. Denim weight. I am thinking of making a pair of jeans out of the leftovers of it.
@@PeldynMakes Yes, I think this is what I am looking for! Thank You!!
Very pretty!
So quickly when compared to knitting :)
It does go fast! I am knitting a scarf and it has taken me days.
Where did you get the pattern/pdf to cut out the pieces or was it freee handed
I have a video on how I made it
ruclips.net/video/253rbrwqjms/видео.html
Hello!! Great video- I'm very inspired!
Do you, by any chance, have photos available of what this bodice looks like when it's being worn? I'd be really interested to see how this finished product looks when worn as well as just flat on the tabletop :)
I made a pin of a picture. Hope it helps!

Thank you🙂
You are welcome!
this is amazing thankyou! id love to learn to go arm cuffs like in the borgias. italiat renassance style with ribbons :) xxxx
Been a while since I have seen The Borgias. I will look at it and see what can do
What type of material did you use? Could I use a normal sewing machine instead of a serger?
This is the best bag lining tutorial I have ever seen. What pattern did you use or how did you draft it to fit? I’d love to make one but I am an odd shape and conventional patterns don’t really work for me.
Just seen your other videos. Amazing stuff. Can’t wait to see what you upload next 🙂
I made my own pattern. I have a video on how I made it and one on how to pin fit a muslin mock up. It is even easier if you get a friend to help :)
Loved this!! New friend here 🌿🧚♀️
Thank you!
Super cool!!!
Thanks for this!
You are welcome!
Do you have suggestions on the pattern to cut out? And what fabric material is ideal? And can you use a regular sewing machine instead of a serger?
I made the pattern and have a video on how to do that. You can use a regular sewing machine, it will just take longer
How do you know the measurements of the parts to cut out?
Did you make your own pattern or buy it somewhere? My friends and I are hopefully going to a ren fare and I’m in charge of making the bodice
Check out my pattern making video for how I made the bodice pattern. After that is the video on how to make sure your pattern fits before you cut out your bodice fabric.
Fantastic tutorial! Can't wait to try this once I draft a pattern
Have fun!
Brilliant video it turned out so nice!
Thank you!
Nice! What kind of fabric are you using (material/weight)?
The gold is a 14 oz, denim like and the patterned is about 10-12 oz tabby weave.
love the colours! can’t buy vests
I made one and its great! But I need to know about a sneaky zip cause it takes forever to lace up!
You would need to use a heavy metal zipper and sew it in securely on a side seam.
Though you do get used to lacing up after a few times and it doesn’t take as long. Practice makes perfect!
is there a pattern for this I can buy online somewhere? I'd love to make this but I'd fail miserably at drafting a pattern.
I am so sorry, I don’t have patterns for sale. I probably should change that…
Do I have to use a serger? I do not have one but I can borrow my great grandma’s if I need to.
It is about three times faster to use a serger. You can use a sewing machine if that is all you have. Just expect to take longer. It will still turn out fine.
Thank you for the video! I really want to try it. Do you have a link to a pattern? Also how much fabric?
I am working on a how to make your own pattern video. Expect it in the next couple days :)
As for how much fabric, depends on the bodice size. This one took half a yard of each color
The video on how to make the pattern is up now!
@@PeldynMakes yay!
Thank you for this tutorial, as well as the pattern making video! I’m a beginning sewist and excited to make my first bodice! I do have a question: if I were to use a heavier fabric (brushed denim or tapestry for example) would you recommend using interfacing or duck canvas for interlining to give the bodice more structure?
You should probably be just fine with no interfacing or interlining if you are using heavier fabrics like that
What types of fabric would this work with?
Anything that is about 10 oz or more in weight.
Canvas, duck, coutil, denim
Thank you for the video! Where can I get the pattern
I posted a video on how to make the pattern
I wanna know how you cut your pieces? Do you have a video for this?
Do you know where I could get the pattern for this bodice? Thank you :)
The directions on how to make the pattern are here
ruclips.net/video/253rbrwqjms/видео.html
Where did you get the fabric from? It's gorgeous!
I don’t remember, sorry! I bought it a long time ago. Probably from one of the wholesale fabric companies I used to order from
Do we need to get a special needle for denim fabric? I've mostly sewn cotton so I'm not sure whether I need a stronger needle.
I use 90/14 size needle
Would this work well with a normal weight cotton fabric? Instead of the heavier fabric that you used?
Lighter weight fabric would not be able to take the strain on lacing up tight. The seams would give out
What is the pattern you are using? Can it be purchased online?
ruclips.net/video/253rbrwqjms/видео.html
This is the link to the pattern
Can any machine do the serge stitch? Do you need a special pressure foot for that?
Some regular sewing machines have a stitch similar to a serger stitch. If you are going to be doing a fair amount of sewing, I don’t recommend it. A sewing machine is much slower than a serger. It also can’t cut the fabric edges. I also love doing a satin stitched hem with my serger. So much faster than attempting to do it on a sewing machine.
I like this!
It seems like the perfect type of bodice for us non-binary people trying to go for an androgynous period look
It can be paired with breeches or skirts :)
Hi, what types of fabrics did you use?
I use home decor, upholstery, tapestry, denim, corduroy, heavy twill, duck, damask, etc. it all depends upon what you want the final product to be for
Really hoping to try this, but I had a few questions.
What kind of fabric would you suggest to use for the bodice? I want to make sure I get the right kind.
And do you have any ideas for a substitute for the boning? I checked the link and while I would buy the steel boning, it seems like I would have to buy 100 pcs for $47 and I don't think I can justify that purchase when I would only make one or two bodices (provided I can actually make them without screwing up)
For the fabric, use a nice denim weight. Look in the home decor section at the fabric store. There are some very nice picks there. For the boning, you can use the cheaper plastic boning, but don’t expect it to last as long as the metal will. Maybe double up on it.
Is the boning necessary? Or could I get away with skipping it? I have a love hate relationship with boning
If you use heavier fabric you can. You can also add some heavy fabric to just the front, on the inside.
It turned out beautiful! Do you happen to sell them?
Not as a business anymore. I sometimes put one up on eBay :)
What type of fabric should I use? It looks like heavy material - Thank you
I use upholstery fabric, denim, heavy twill, canvas, really anything that is about a 12-14 oz weight. Natural fabric breathes better so try not to use polyester. Even wool can be used. It wicks well and can be cooler to wear than some cottons.
Does anyone know what kind of fabric she used?
I used upholstery fabric, a heavy cotton canvas
Hiya! I was wondering where you bought the supplies for the grommets (or eyelets)... I haven’t been able to find a good set!!
I purchased from Fastener Supply Company in Los Angeles a few years ago. I don’t know if they are still in business
What surger u used? Good job nd thank u very much
It is a Viking/Husquvarna that I bought a long time ago
do you have a pattern for this specific corset top? i'd love to make an exact one :)
Yes! Just look at my video list and you will see how to make the pattern. Soon you will have your own bodice
What pattern did you use???
I made the pattern. The video on how to do it is on my channel
Have patters about this corse?
Yes, look on the video list and you will find the video on how to make the pattern
What pattern did you use for this bodice? Or did you make your own
I did a video showing how I made it. I also have a video on how to fit the mock up from the pattern
Great video! I'm just wondering, where can I get a pattern for this?
I did a video on how to make the pattern. There is also a video on how to fit it. Hope you enjoy making your bodice :)
@@PeldynMakes I completely missed that! Thank you :)
Do you have a pattern for this?
It is posted on this channel how to make the pattern
Where did you get the pattern pieces?
Watch my video on how to make the pattern :)
What pattern did you use for the pieces? It looks amazing by the way
I made the pattern. I have a video of how I did it.
@@PeldynMakes Thank you
Is the back several pieces or just one? From your pattern video i thought it would be one but it looks like several here
It is one piece but when making a double sided bodice you essentially made two of each piece. One for the inside and one for the outside :)
@@PeldynMakes Okay thank you! But is there a seam running down the back?
No, there is no seam down the back. The back piece is cut out on the fold. If you are short on fabric, you can make a seam if needed. Just add a seam allowance.
@@PeldynMakesokay, thanks a thousand!
what time period is this most fitting to?
The style is late 1500s.
Is there a pattern for this?
Yes, one of my videos shows you how to make the pattern
Where is the pattern from??
The directions to make the pattern are here

@@PeldynMakes thank you very much for your precious work! I'm travelling with my husband to Palmanova in September (1600 reenactment) and I need a bodice!
Did you use a pattern?
The pattern is another video :)
Which type of boning do you use?
1/2 inch Spring steel
What pattern did you use?
I made the pattern. I made a video that will show you how to make your own. It is really easy!
Is there a place where to get the pattern??
I have a video on how I made the pattern. It really isn’t hard to make your own.
How did you draft your pattern?
I have a video on how I drafted the pattern. I only have three videos right now so it should be easy to find on my channel. Yeah, I know I need to make more. Stress and anxiety is an awful thing
what's fabric?
I am not sure I understand your question. Do you want to know what type of fabric, or are you asking what fabric is?
