#### Er zijn veel manieren om een korset

te maken. Deze instructies zijn slechts één manier. Met deze methode raad ik aan om een ruimere naadwaarde van ten minste 1,5 cm te gebruiken, zodat je boningrails comfortabel binnen de naadwaarde passen.

Beginnende korsettenmakers zouden de tutorials van [Sidney Eileen](http://www.sidneyeileen.com), die verschillende bouwmethodes toont, moeten lezen. [Foundations Revealed](https://www.foundationsrevealed.com) is een paywall site voor corset makers, met enkele gratis uitzonderlijke artikelen voor niet-leden.

#### Check the original tutorial

This pattern is based on [this tutorial by Cathrin Alen](https://katafalk.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/underbust-pattern-tutorial/). Cathrin heeft ook [dit informatieve bericht over het maken van korsets](https://katafalk.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/03how-i-sew-korsets/) op haar blog, die je misschien nuttig vindt.

## Stap 1: Stik de boningrails in het midden

![Place outer Panel 1 on core Panel 1, bad sides together](step01.png)

Start with the center front pieces. For an 11-panel Cathrin, this will be Panel 1. Place the outer Panel 1 on the core Panel 1, bad sides together.

With a small stitch width (I set mine to “2”), sew a line straight down the center front. Then sew two boning channels to either side, allowing a bit of extra space, about 2mm, in addition to the width of your boning.

## Stap 2: Bevestig het eerste zijpaneel

![Attach Panel 2](step02.png)

Take the next piece. For an 11-panel Cathrin, this will be Panel 2.

Place the outer Panel 2 on the outer Panel 1, _good sides together_.

Place the core Panel 2 on the core Panel 1, _good sides together_.

Ensure that the four layers of fabric line up perfectly. Double check that you haven’t mixed up pattern pieces or flipped any over by mistake.

Match up the four layers of fabric at the narrowest part, _good sides together_, and pin. Then match the top and bottom of each panel and pin. Finally, pin the rest of the edge in place. Use as many pins as needed to make sure the panels stay perfectly aligned.

Sew the seam.

## Stap 3: Stik de beenrails

![Press flat and sew boning channel](step03.png)

Press both layers of Panel 2 away from the center, using the iron to ease the material where the seams curve.

Edgestitch right along the folded edge, just 1-2mm from the seam line. Sew slowly and keep an eye on the stitching to ensure that the distance is kept even at all times. The purpose of adding this topstitch line is to relieve some stress from the connecting seam.

Topstitch another seam parallel to the first seam, allowing a bit of extra space, about 3mm, in addition to the width of your boning.

## Stap 4: Bevestig het volgende paneel

![Attach Panel 3](step04.png)

Take the next piece. For an 11-panel Cathrin, this will be Panel 3.

Place the outer Panel 3 on the outer Panel 2, _good sides together_.

Place the core Panel 3 on the core Panel 2, _good sides together_.

Match up the four layers of fabric at the narrowest part, _good sides together_, and pin. Then match the top and bottom of each panel and pin. Finally, pin the rest of the edge in place. Use as many pins as needed to make sure the panels stay perfectly aligned.

Sew the seam.

## Stap 5: Stik nog een botten kanaal

![Press flat and sew boning channel](step05.png)

Press both layers of Panel 3 away from the center, using the iron to ease the material where the seams curve.

Edgestitch right along the folded edge, just 1-2mm from the seam line.

Topstitch another seam parallel to the first seam, allowing a bit of extra space, about 2mm, in addition to the width of your boning.

This new boning channel should look just like the one you made attaching Panel 2 to Panel 1.

## Stap 6: Blijf de zijpanelen bevestigen

Continue attaching panels, creating a boning channel in each seam. Attach Panel 4 to Panel, Panel 5 to Panel 4, and finally Panel 6 to Panel 5.

![All panels on one side](step06.png)

Repeat these steps on the other side.

![All panels on both sides](step06b.png)

## Stap 7: Werk het korset terug af

With all of your panels connected, you’re working with the flat sides of each Panel 6.

Fold the seam allowance of both pieces inward so that the seam allowance is hidden. Press flat, then top stitch close to the edge.

Topstitch another seam next to the edgestitched seam, allowing a bit of extra space, about 2mm, in addition to the width of your boning.

![First channel on the back](step07.png)

Mark the locations of your grommets. (Don’t insert them yet. Just mark the fabric where you’ll place them, and make sure you’re creating a strip suited to the width of your grommets.)

Top stitch on the opposite side of the grommet markings, then shift and topstitch another seam parallel to the topstitched seam, again leaving enough space for the boning.

![Grommet strip and second channel](step07b.png)

Repeat on the other side.

## Step 8: Insert boning

Insert boning in all of the channels.

## Stap 9: Koppel de boven- en onderkant

Use bias tape or ribbon to bind the top and bottom edges of the corset.

## Stap 10: Stel de grommets in

Set the grommets in the locations you marked earlier.

## Stap 11: Lace het korset

You’re done!
