Tutorial 2. Cutting and Sewing a Mock-up.

We have already cut and sewn mock-ups before so I assume you have already accustomed yourself to the whole procedure. I believe illustrating it with comment-free pictures should be more than enough.

I start assembling the mock-up.

I join the central piece with the intermediate one.

I topstitch the seam allowance.

And do the same thing from the other side of the corset.

Then I join the intermediate front piece with the side one.

I topstitch the seam allowance.

And I repeat the same procedure from the other side of the corset.

Next I join the side front piece with the corset back.

I topstitch the seam allowance.

And I sew the other side seam and topstitch its seam allowance.

Then I join the side back piece with the central back piece.

And I topstitch the seam allowance.

I do the same from the other side of the back.

And I start assembling the cups.

I make a stay-stitch along the rounded edge of the cup.

I fold the seam allowance inwards over the stay-stitch and secure it.

And I perform the same procedure with the second cup.

I pin the cup to the body.

And sew it in.

And I do the same with the second cup.

Then I make a stay-stitch along the top edge of the mock-up.

I fold the edge inwards over the stay-stitch and secure it.

The mock-up is ready!
