Hey everyone!
Welcome back to A Vintage Vanity, my name is Jennifer and as always I am super excited
that you guys are here and today's video is going to be a really easy DIY that doesn't
even require a sewing machine to remove the horrible plastic boning from a dress.
I fell in love with the print on this dress so I had to have it and sadly it came with
this plastic boning on the sides and the front of the dress for support.
I don't need that kind of support and in fact because of my curvier shape the more I wore
the dress the more the boning warped and I had unsightly bulges that were highly unflattering.
Even though I loved the dress it started to make me feel a lot less confident wearing
the dress so I said "What am I doing?!?
Just get rid of the boning!"
I'm going to show you guys how you can do that very easily.
This is all you're going to need to complete this project.
A seam ripper, matching thread, a sewing needle and a pair of scissors.
So we are going to work from inside the dress.
Locating a boning channel is really easy, not only can you feel it but you can actually
see it as well.
Come up to the very top of the seam.
To get your seam started, which is the hardest part of seam ripping, tautly pull on both
sides of the fabric.
It exposes the stitches a little bit more so you can slide your seam ripper in there.
You can just start to feel the stitches giving as you go through.
Then after a few of the stitches are plucked you can simply pull to open a few more of
them.
We don't want to open a ton of them, we just want enough to get that boning out.
Now that we have an opening I'm just going to work the top of the boning out.
You'll see this white fabric coming up out of the channel, that is what the boning is
encased in.
Now they have actually stitched the fabric around the boning onto the fabric of the dress.
You don't want to pull this out cuz you're going to actually rip the dress.
I'm going to take my seam ripper again and start going at that white fabric at the top.
I prefer not to use scissors as I'm a little clumsy.
See that...lol...so satisfying.
This is the best part of all of it!
Sliding the boning out of the channel.
Ta da!
The only thing we're going to have to do now is close up the channel.
Once all the material is pulled back in just tuck the edges of the material back in until
it looks like a nice little sandwich.
I've gotten this white piece of paper out to show you a few of my tips for threading
a needle.
Take a fair amount of thread.
I always lick the bottom of the thread, there are a lot of fine loose threads and licking
or waxing the end will make it easier to thread through the eye of the needle.
The white paper behind the needle helps you locate the eye of the needle.
Slip the thread through the eye, then slide the thread through until the ends are even.
To knot the end of the thread, this is one of the best tips EVER, point the needle away
from you.
Like your en gard...stabbing...then you take the two ends of the thread and you're going
to place them poking towards you.
Lay them right alongside the needle.
Then hold that with your thumb, take this part of the thread and wrap it around the
needle.
About 4-5 times.
Then you just slide...slide...slide...until you reach the end.
Bam!
I know, right!
This tip alone was worth watching the video!
The stitch I'm going to use to close this up is called a slip stitch.
It's one that will actually hide the stitches.
Take the needle and poke it from underneath and come up just past the point where the
stitching is, start it where its already stitched closed.
That hides the knot on the thread.
Whatever side you started on you're going to go to the opposite side to place your first
stitch.
Grab a little bit of fabric, from the top "lip" of your "sandwich".
I must be hungry...lol...but does this not look kinda like a sandwich!
Pull your thread through.
Go to the opposite side and do the same thing.
When I start my next stitch I tend to do it even with the stitch that is on the opposite
side, where the thread is coming out.
Makes it just a little bit neater.
When I reach the very end of the stitch what I like to do to start knotting it is I like
to leave a little loop, I don't pull the thread all the way through, then just slip my needle
through the loop and then pull.
Just doing that again.
Then since I'm a little OCD I just do another standard knot.
It looks so much better, doesn't it!
No more unsightly bumps and ridges.
I mean, come on, we're not ruffles potato chips!
We don't need ridges right!
I love the dress that much more.
I feel much more confident in it and it fits so much better.
I hope you guys really enjoyed today's video.
