Finish the Bottom Edge

Edge stitch along the bottom of the stays.  Be sure to go around the tab slits, and stitch back and forth at the top to help re-enforce those areas.

Edge the bottom of the stays.  I edged this pair of stays using my sewing machine, but it can also be done by hand.

Bone, Edge, and Grommet

Insert the boning and secure them in place.  To secure them, stitch at the very tips of the bones.

Edge stitch the top of the stays and bind them as you would for any other corset.

Grommet the opening, and it’s finished.
