Sewing a Victorian Capelet
Welcome to a new video in my Victorian sewing series. I have been away for a while, but I am back! And so are the dramatic sleeves I love so much 😉
This time I will be sewing a capelet based on extant pieces and fashion plates from the 1890s. I will show you how to make this fun and easy project and the pattern will become available soon so you can make one yourself!
This project will be mostly made on my antique Singer threadle sewingmachine from 1910, so let’s get sewing!

    I'm learning to use a Singer 27k+treadle (120 yo) and 2x15k, one is in a case and is electric, the other one has a treadle. The one I use the most is the 15k + treadle. I have bought several amazing feet, but some of them are "dead" as you said ;-)

    I have two machines, one is a Pfaff 130 that belonged to my mum and I have another one, one that I bought. It says 'World's best deluxe sewing machine' made in People's Republic of China. Someone saw it and thought it was an antique, but, PRC wasn't even a thing till 1949.

    I love the sleeves but you lost me. Have never attempted this before but I could not see the shape you were cutting out because it was white maybe and not sure on where you were stitching either. Do you have an other video’s where you take the time to show step by step stages with views of the whole sleeve and where you are sewing. Where were the basting stitches, what was the purpose of them in relation to the pattern. The end result was lovely though. I have Victorian dolls I want to make outfits for.

    • @MispelledOnPurpose
      @MispelledOnPurpose Місяць тому

      I was wondering if my machine could use a zigzag attachment. It's a 66 treadle from 1925 with no back stitch. Are you using that attachment with an antique machine? Is the attachment antique also? Sorry for so many questions, that is the attachment I was hoping she would have demonstrated. It's my 2nd most used stitch and I really don't care to struggle with creating them the old way.

      @gabriellehelenacouture6935 Місяць тому

      @MispelledOnPurpose Hey unfortunately you can't make a zigzag stitch with a threadle as the needle itself would have to move for that. Because of this I use handstitches to do that or I finish a seam with biastape :)

    Pro tip: when measuring for skirt length, put the“0 inch” end of your tape measure at where you want the bottom of the skirt to be, and read upwards to the waist. Much easier and more accurate! My favoured move is not to lace down, but to pad up! So much more comfortable 😂

I'm looking for resources for beginners (from reading patterns, prototyping, up to making a garment. I want to learn it all. I'll take note of the book, seems to be key! BTW love the big puffy sleeves. I've seen somewhere there exist some armatures that would help to keep them up and puffy all the time.

    Love your machine. It’s just beautiful. I sew with a singer portable (1954) and love it. A suggestion for you … it looks like you have masking tape as a guide. Get that off! It will damage the paint long term. Use painters tape instead or find a magnetic guide. I know this “cocktail fact” because I used masking tape as a guide and regretted it.

    2 years late, but oh that shirt came out so nice!!! I saw you mention elsewhere in the comments that you might consider digitizing the pattern to sell. Did you ever end up doing that? I'm working on a cosplay with this style of sleeve and I'm having the hardest time finding any sort of premade shirt or even proper patterns to make it myself, and I'd love to purchase it, if you did release it!

    Found you from suggested videos, I do historically sewing and have a few singer machines: a late 1950s same model my husband’s mom use to use as well as an antique from the year my grandma was born, a shuttle bobbin hand crank I’ve used to make one garment so far. I should use it more. I also rescued a I think it’s 1940s in table sewing machine I think was made right after WWII that looks to be in great shape but the electrical cord dry rotted so have to replace that. Did not intend to get this one but the table is the perfect size for holding my hand crank machine vintage radio and plants when shut so I brought it home.
