What a blessing you are to your viewers. I found myself wishing I was there in person and learning how to sew from you. Thank you so much for continuing your love of dance through educating and creating costumes for those who can dance. I enjoyed this so much!

I hope you do more videos. You explained this so well. This is the way I make spaghetti straps too...but I don't enjoy it. Thanks for the tip on dying elastic. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a serger. I've been making costumes for my baton twirler for 14 years on sewing machine.

Rose Stewart - I couldn’t live without my serger! I have a Juki that I got about 6 years ago for just under $400. It’s worth every penny!

I love this video! I’m working on my own costume and for the love of me couldn’t figure out how to make spaghetti straps. Thank you so much 💜

Really well presented - no excess waffle but still charming and warm in your presentation- now i'm going to check whether I have that stretch stitch capability on my sewing machine ... I subscribed - cheers from Australia

I just saw your comment again ... if you don't have a stretch stitch, you can always use your zig zag

Loved all of your videos and i hope you will post the rest of the white lyrical costume that you where working on! happy sewing ;)

Do have a video on how to make elastic to wrap around one leg?

@RhinestoneQueenCostumes

Жыл бұрын

I've actually never done that on a costume before. I suspect you can just make a spaghetti strap and attach it to the costume at the beginning point of the wrap then make a closure on the spaghetti strap at the end point so that it can attach to itself where it wraps completely around the leg.

Thanks very helpful.

Thanks! I’m just getting started with dance Leo’s and this was very helpful! If using a serger, do you still finish the strap on the regular machine with a stretch stitch?

@RhinestoneQueenCostumes

Yes. I only use the serger to secure the elastic to the fabric, then finish with a stretch stitch on the regular machine before trimming away the excess fabric. Thanks for watching!

I love your videos. Any chance you could share how you add a feather trim to the back of a brief? What is the trick?

@RhinestoneQueenCostumes

2 жыл бұрын

That's going to be a video one day. For feather fringe, I cut a .5-1" strip of matching lycra and Stretch it as I zig zag it to the ribbon strip at the top of the trim, then I zig zag the top of the strip to the costume. For feather boas, I put my project on a foam board that measures at least as wide as the dancer's hips, then pin the boa on. I then take it off of the board and hand stitch from behind where each pin is located. If you PM me, I'll send you pics of costumes where I used each technique.

I enjoyed your lesson. TY New Subscriber

Hi love your videos. Could I ask what kind of foot you have on your machine?

@RhinestoneQueenCostumes

Күн бұрын

I just use the standard foot that came with the machine. I know some people like to use a walking foot to sew spandex, but I just use my standard foot.

Hi this is a great tutorial, thanks. Does this technique work on a wider elastic? I'm making 20mm straps for a leotard ✨

Please forgive my delayed response!!! I just found your message! Not sure why it didn't come through to me in Messenger. You're always welcome to PM me if you ever ask a question in the future and don't hear back. I usually respond within 24 hours, so 2 months is not okay! So sorry!! To answer your question, generally, yes - it works with wider elastic. The only thing that may be more difficult is turning curves with wider elastic, but for straight runs, you shouldn't have any problems. Thanks so much for watching!

I do plan to do something on headpieces, but it will be a while because we'll be moving next month and then I have a very busy costume season. In the meantime ... the product I use is "Fossflex". I cut it to the shape I want, then mold it to fit on a foam head an heat it with a blow dryer or heat gun. It then holds the shape and it can be easily covered with fabric. You can sew through this stuff! It's pretty fantastic!

I don't remember where I bought it, but you can google fossflex and find a vendor. It looks felt-like, but has this crazy ability to keep a shape!!

How do you can sew another color on the arm ends and on the neckline?. Love your video's

Watch my series on how to make a leotard. I cover it there. You just topstitch the contrast fabric before running the elastic

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to do this for weeks and end up super frustrated. Any chance you teach classes in person? I’m from Paulina in St.James Parish.

Can you use a coverstitch machine instead of the zig zag?

@RhinestoneQueenCostumes

Definitely! I just happen to not own a coverstitch machine, but it gives such a nice finsh! If I had one, I'd use it for this for sure.

Can I just pay you to teach me everything you know? kidding, I can't afford it...love the videos

That's funny! If you're ever in Louisiana, let me know. I had someone in here last week working with me for a couple of days. She got to learn a little and I got some free labor. Win/win!

Where would you recommend getting the snap closures for these straps? I haven’t found the exact ones that I want yet.

Please forgive my delayed response!!! I just found your message! Not sure why it didn't come through to me in Messenger. You're always welcome to PM me if you ever ask a question in the future and don't hear back. I usually respond within 24 hours, so a whole month is not okay! So sorry!! My first choice is always to sew in the spaghetti straps at every point of contact. A costume is basically a leotard that's been fancied up a bit, so it should function as a leotard. BUT, when I do need to use some sort of closure device, I use pants hooks and eyes whenever they'll fit, and regular hooks and eyes if I need smaller closures. I usually also add a snap or even some velcro to stop the edge of the strap that's tucked inside the costume from waving about. I know a lot of people use swimsuit hooks, but I haven't found any of those that I like better than the old fashioned hooks and eyes. Thanks so much for watching! Happy sewing!!
