Hello fashion sellers in today's tutorial I'm going to be showing you how to put a boning into a seam and Colleen G Lee and this is fashion sewing blog TV. This is sewing project that I'm working on at the moment and here in this channel I have a boning and what boning is useful is this different area in a garment where you want vertical support so if I bend this you can see it actually springs back and that boning will help because there's no support in the back of the dress helps keep the dress looking very upright. Here I have a strip of boning and just plastic boning and as you can see it is very flexible now if I bring it closer to the camera hopefully you'll be able to see the actual texture and how it looks and as I said it is plastic you can also get it in metal and it's very rigid and stiff. Here I've got a sample of a seam it's a plain seam and I'm now making it a closed seam and I'm pressing it one in one direction can be either one and what I'm going to do here is create a channel with this seam so I'm going to be sewing about three to four millimeters along the raw edge here and then the boning will channel through. I'm now going to be required strip of boning that I need for my seam and the edges on each side I'm going to round. Now in order to do that you need your paper scissors and you're going to just it can be a bit tricky and because you're working with plastic it can feel a bit stubborn let's say but as long as you try to get it as round as possible the reason why we need it to be rounded is that it helps to stop it cutting away at the fabric once it's in the seam and also to make sure that it doesn't also cut you as well when you're wearing the garment so that should feel a lot more smoother than it does the other end which I'm now going to round off. I'm still preparing our boning and I've got a little bit of sticky tape double-sided sticky tape on the end of my phone there and I'm just going to put it on the rounded edge there we go and the reason why I'm doing that I'm going to put a little piece of fabric just to cover that so it gives a lot more protection from the sharpness of the curve so I'm just going to get a little bit of fabric there, just snip it off and then just put it over the sticky tape just to keep the sticky tape there just to keep it in place really so it doesn't move but this doesn't move about once it's in the seam so there we are. I'm back to my seam sample here and as you can see I've done my second row of stitch it's quite a large stitch I'm only doing this for demonstration purposes so stick with your regular stitch and there's now a channel created and now have my erm boning and I'm going to insert it into the channel it can be a little bit tricky getting it started in there with turmeric work around so that I can have a better view of what I'm doing and making sure that it is threaded through and it can be a bit of a difficult job just to make sure you get it wriggled into there so I've got it all right that's quite a good job really it can be a bit right so I'm happy with it there and we're going to make sure that when it comes to the edge here you don't want it anywhere near the edge because you want to make sure that you've got your seam allowance for wherever you're joining the next seam. As you can see I'm now making a comparison between the both remember this is my sewing project that I've done and I put it onto the lining and this is the right side as you can see here and this is what it looks like on the wrong side so inside here this is what the wrong side looks like and it is an absolute great piece of um habadashri to use for when you want that vertical stiffness any kind of dresses that you do make and also with the garments. I hope you found that video tutorial helpful as regards with bony you usually find it quite a lot in evening wear where their dresses are usually backless but they are in other parts of garments such as coats and jackets etc if you have any questions please put them in the comment box below and I look forward to seeing you next time.
