    Lovely work! Your stitches are so neat and even, very nice. You can use canvas in place of coutil, its a bit stretchier. But I don't think that would matter much on fully boned stays. The pop of green is joyful. My only criticism is please use larger font on the captioning. :) I hope you post more content. Enjoyed this very much.

    It's so so pretty. Also the way you filmed the making up of the stay was very clear and I enjoyed watching each stitch. May I also say that I adore your fabrics, all of them! The lovely print and colour of the first short sleeve shirt you were wearing, the almost brown-green bumblebee fabric with the lovely pouffy sleeves; and the fabric of the stay is absolutely mouth wateringly lovely - especially put together as a flattering contrast.

    ee!!! i've been super super nervous to start my own stays since i've probably bitten off more than i can chew-- but watching you create yours so beautifully makes it feel more in reach 💗💗💗

    I wish I had seen this BEFORE I used the pattern. Watching you stitch One side of the bias tape down before folding it over and THEN attaching the otherside is the ONLY way you will get it to work. Wow.

    Such a wonderful video! And a brilliant idea to use metal eyelets and cover them with embroidery floss! Your stays are so gorgeous!

    Hello, this is the first video of yours I have watch. I don't know if you have used this font-styling before, but it is so hard to read. The grey color gets lost in the background when the purple stripe runs out. It is also a very small font. I am sure that if I tried to watch this video on my phone I wouldn't be able to read the text at all. These problems can be easily fixed. First change the font color so it as a white outline. It will help it stand out when in shadowy backgrounds or against similar colored fabric. Then change the font size. It doesn't need to be drastically bigger but a two sizes up should do the trick. I hope this helps for your future videos.

    Ahhhh, everything about this was perf. The construction, the lining, the choice of fabric, the lovely music and just reading the captions instead of the ordinary voice-over. Really, really nice<3

    Absolutely beautiful work! You make it look so easy. I am attempting my first one and this video was so helpful to see the step by step like that. I am having a hard time following the sewing instructions as I find them vague. So thank you!!

    Lovely project. Please significantly increase the font size of your captions, though. Thanks for including your body measurements and pattern size used.
