Sew a corset

[Maryna Laas]

I wanted to sew a corset, but a friend said that you need to sew bones. What is it and how to sew them?

You don't 'sew bones' as such, you sew channelling to put bones into.  Historically it would have been pieces of whale bone, but nowadays corset boning is made from steel or plastic.

Yes you sew channels which you then slide boning into. Either spiral steel or plastic.

If you want to try a first corset, I did the Sophia Underbust from Sew Curvy using a kit last year as my first and found it easier than I expected. Here's the thread: https://thesewingplace.org.uk/index.php/topic,5370.0.html
