Great tutorial - I usually use furnishing fabric to make corsets as it's quite stiff and heavy - never thought to recycle jeans but this is a great idea, thanks :-D xx
Riley Y, I suggest Laughing Moon if you want an authentic looking corset, or try Butterick or Simplicity for a basic costume one.
I am in the process of scanning the pattern I used to make available on my blog (link at top of page)so come back soon!
TheSewingMurra, yes you do need boning to get the right shape and support. You can use alternatives such as cable ties if you want. The picture for step 4 shows the panel pieces just after they have been cut. I overlapped the edges to fit them in the photo
-flails- a denim corset!
My favorite pair of jeans ripped a week ago!
And i've been contemplating what to do them with them! ><
Maybe I could make a corset with this? <3
But they were skinny jeans.. not sure if that's enough material.. Buuut yours looks amazing :3 g'job!
Wow, thanks so much for all your positive comments.
To Manda F., no the hook and eye tape would probably not last long with steel boning or tight lacing. If you are going to the expense of getting steel boning then definitely use a metal busk stick.
Awesome. Though, my only concern is will hook and eye tape hold the tension from the steel boning and lacing? Then again, I can't find busks or hook and eye tape anywhere! DX

Is there any way to edit your comments on here?
Elizabeth L, sorry but our scanner died and I am unable to do the pattern right now
