Female: The first things you have to do, is take your measurements, then get out a piece of paper and make a pattern. For the complete pattern instructional, go to the thread banger BLOG for an awesome step by step. Once you have your pattern made, cut it out and decide what fabric you want to use for the liner and the outer show.
Take your pattern, lay it on your fabric and carefully pin it out. Now, cut it out an inch outside the pattern for seam allowance. And if you need to trace around the pattern before you have pin it, so you know exactly where to sew.
Flip the pattern over and cut out another panel. Then do all those steps again for the liner pieces. Next, take out one outer piece and one liner piece, place them right sides together and pin. Sew a seam following the pattern line you traced but make sure to leave the gap and then turn it right side out.
You can use a pencil to help you push the corners all the way out. Now, pull down the gap seam and so it close while sewing a top seam around the entire panel. Time for the hardware. We are going to use an eyelet kit we picked up for $2.50. It includes an setting tool and 25 eyelets. Take out a ruler and place it above an inch in from the front seam, and line your eyelets up along the ruler every inch on the inch.
Make sure they are straight and use a fabric pencil to mark where they. Now, cut holes for every mark you made but do not cut them too big. Next, insert an eyelet into a hole from the right to long side. Place the right side over the anvil and insert the tool into the eyelet, then hammer gently. Repeat for the rest of the holes. Now, repeat all those stuffs to make the other panel.
Place both the panels right side together and sew a seam to connect them, then all you have to do is cut a long piece of ribbon, lace up your corset and put it on.
Male: Now, for those of you who are not a big fan of the old V day, like rain shadow who wrote, “It would be cool if you guys got a project for people who hate Valentine’s Day. Then you want to head over to the extras page on thread banger where you will always find something cool to download. This week, we got some anti Valentine’s Day stencils for all you haters out there.
Female: And guys, if you are not into the whole course of making things, when we return Rob is going to show you how to make yourself a pair of boxers.
Male: Stick around.

Male: Hey, welcome back. So we got finished for all you ladies out there how to make a corset. Now, for all you guys, we are going to show you how to make a sweet pair of boxers out of small pillow cases. First, set up the BLOG and check out the pattern.
Now, take your measurements and make your pattern pieces. Once you have your two pieces, lay each on the pillow case, pin and cut out, making sure you cut their both sides of the pillow case, so you have four separate pieces. Now, lay your identical pieces on top of one another pin and sew together the two edges to create the front and back pieces of your boxers.
Now, put your two pieces, right sides on top of one another and sew your sides together. Next, attach the crutch, making sure to fold down the seam line when you are sewing, then turn your boxers right side up and to the bottom. Now, for the front and flap, you are going to fold it over evenly and sew down both sides. Then take the flap on the opposite end and add a simple hand down at the side.
Once done, tuck it under and connect both pieces at the bottom and the top. Next you want to create a casing for your elastic. Do this by using your elastic as a guide around the waist of your shorts. Make sure you line up your front and flap evenly and sew together. Now, feed your elastic to the casing hole in the front using a body pin or safety pin. Sew the end of the elastic together and tuck it into your casing. Lastly, you are going to sew clothes to your casing, add your anti Valentine’s Day stencil, and then you are done.
Female: Those turned out great, good job! So we got a bunch of amazing entries for the Genome sewing machine contest, a huge shout out to everyone who entered.
