Bring back the Gaiter!

Comment for alg! This was a lot of fun to watch!

"If it looks awkward, you did it right." is the most real statement about invisible zippers. 🤣

What does the dye "exhausts" mean?

This may be my favorite project of all the ones you've done! <3 <3 <3

I keep all the mending projects in my closet. I put a piece of the painters tape on top of a hanger with a note what needs to be fixed but I keep it there cardigan with unraveled seam in between all the other cardigans, skirt that needs button sewn on in between other skirts. I also have one small tote bag hanging on the side for socks etc. When it gets overflowing it kind of takes space and is annoying, and that annoyance helps me find inspiration ;). Having those items on display and wanting to incorporate them into outfits kind of pisses me off after a while and it forces me to mend it. When I had a mending pile it was left untouched for 3 years, lol.

LOL "Your yabos will thank you" ... I bet they also thanked you for the FBA? Mine aren't precisely full, but they wrap around under my armpits so adding an armpit gusset fixes nearly everything for me... Great call on Gaiters, what a great solution when you need something on your legs that you don't wanna pay for and are only gonna wear a couple times. I adore WhatTheForecast. Holy gods I'm happy I live where the air hurts my face half the year. 80f as the nightly low? that's my daily highs for next week (this week's been unseasonably cold, I've had to wear SOCKS and a JACKET). I love how people just freak out about knits. I started most of my sewing on what I'm told was the worst possible one, stretch velvet, and it wasn't as bad as all that! Hell, this summer's project was frigging swimsuits, and I did not have problems because of the fabric, I had problems because all my sewing machines capable of doing stretch stitches were being butts, so I had to grab one that would do zigzag (tagged in the 1960's Universal when the 1980's Singer decided to resume its decades old tantrum about tension and the two Kenmores clutched their pearls and claimed something about timing). She's a good old girl but complains about sewing through elastic.And sometimes tension gets wonky in the middle of a seam. But hey, we made do, and I've got a shoulders-too-wide wearable mockup of my favourite swimsuit and my husband has a wearable mockup AND a final product based on comfy briefs cause he hates swim trunks. Yay for the weird! I think if someone forced me to cosplay a barbie, it'd be Weird Barbie...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

aha! thanks for explaining the table 😂. I'm glad you were able to buy a table, finally, and can stop crawling around the floor😅 yup,it's definitely weird!! on camera, you really can't see a difference between the fabrics.

started out in english medieval costume of around the 11th century inspired by the bayeux tapestry. super easy and almost every pattern piece is basic rectangles and triangles and you end up with some very comfortable colourful clothes that you can wear around the house. doing chores and mowing the lawn is 10x more fun when wearing a tunic, braies, and linen cap

Serious dress envy 😍 it's so beautiful

this is so awesome thanks for posting I'm going to watch and rewatch this until it's muscle memory lmao...

😅 I think I love you

I'm starting with the 1890s, mainly because of Bernadette, but I do have a _lot_ of previous sewing experience. I'm also extremely lucky to have been able to draft an 1890s corset and have it fit me first try, so we'll see how that goes.

Video Idea : Can you do a tier list for Disney Princesses on Historical Accuracy? While some like Elsa, Jasmine can be Historically mess, but there are some who were actually really accurate and fabulous, like Cinderella, Mulan, and Tiana!

“You gotta do it wrong to do it right” my new life motto ❤. Also loving that lion king shirt.

Thank you for making such a comprehensive, easy to follow resource!!

I love the purple top you are wearing. Hand knit? Pattern?

Lol same ironing board...

Fun!

This is quite literally the Palmer and Pletsch and Cashmerette books in video form. Brava, darling! This is VERY helpful. Like you, I have an interesting time fitting ANYTHING. Recently made a working mock-up of S9792 (which had to be sized up) and though it’s deffo comfy and wearable, but still needs work in some areas. Next up is a sized-up pair of PJ pants which have POCKETS. Holler if you ever want a transatlantic zoom through some of my fitting books. PS this is GENIUS.

This is really helpful! I have a pair of trousers to make in linen denim (yes you read that right) and I'm a little nervous because the fabric has zero stretch, so the fit is going to have to be exact. I am planning to make a mockup in a sturdy regular white linen - maybe I'll dye it purple first so that if the mockup works, it'll be in a color I like??

I once said I would make some hats for a friend’s mom. Then spent a lot of time freaking out cause she was a retired home economics teacher!! She loved the hats and never said anything about my less than perfect construction! Your gown is stunning.

Does acid dye work on cotton? and if so what temperature do I make the water?

You did a great job of explaining the wrinkles. Funny I made things for the kids and now my grandson but rarely make them for myself. Hence the poor fit in almost everything I own.

Just fyi, I was watching this video while assembling my first 17 century bodice!

Ah my dear.... I have solved this problem for myself by never wearing trousers. However, I do make them for my hubby. So this has been helpful.

Thank you for this! All of my clothes are second-hand and cast-offs, so I'll probably never make a pair of trousers but all of your videos contain wonderful and useful sewing information. 🧡💙

Navy as a colour for it? Or a dark red?

Lady Rebecca Fashions had detailed video on how to insert a pocket into a side zip garment.

Making my trousers block was SUCH an annoying process, but it’s one I’m glad I did! Or if someone’s using a pattern and has gone through the hassle of fitting it really well, if they save the foundation (the waist/ hips/ crotch curve/ upper thigh) they can reuse that and lay it over other trouser patterns. Plus your tip about using photos is so good. I incorporated it at mock-up…three? of my trouser block mock-up, and it really helped move the process along much more quickly!

I'm a juvenile.. I totally and freely admit it. I giggled at "cookie", and out right laughed at UK version of "magic pants."

I had hoped when I saw the survey that the next video would be the "winning" fear. Why? Because I'm in the process of drafting, fitting, and hand-sewing a pair of drop-canvas drawstring trousers, and this is a big help in boosting confidence! 😂❤❤❤

Watch the zipper placement. If the zipper is placed so that it doesn't open far enough, you will over time pull out zipper teeth. I had a pattern for a pair of jeans which had this problem.

5:13 I appreciate your point here in not commenting on the issues of you (or others) re. size/shape in the comment field. I do have fit issues whey I sow, but I find it strange that you use the word “suffer” when talking about fit issues; I have problems with fitting a piece of clothing neatly when sowing - but that does not necessarily equate to me “suffering” from the fit issue. (Or is this just me not getting the finer points of english as it is not my primary language? 😅)

I added in a pocket on trousers with a side closure on one occasion, but what I came up with was a pretty janky solution where I essentially enlarged the placket facings and sewed two edges of them together into a pocket. But the contents of the pocket are not very secure when you have to open the hooks (you know, every time you use the bathroom 🤦‍♀) so I'm not sure I'd recommend it lol

I do usually avoid pants like the plague because of some of the same issues you had and I feel less terrified of them now. The crossbow helped too 😆🧟‍♀

hang on, hang on. you're using a table😮😮!?! where is floor troll Jacki and what have you done with her😂? so not fair, I was happily munching away on a cranberry orange cookie, and spat it out all over my tablet screen. it's not sitting next to me, because I just can't keep eating it! you can also do thigh adjustments on the outer seams too, which I what I have to do for fitted trousers. also, curved waistbands! bloody lifesaver if you have a sloped spine. I'm afraid I can't link any videos in YT. can I dm. you them?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pockets?

I make costumes for live theatre. I needed to take measurements. Even though we were but few in the room we did have others around. I took the measurements and wrote them on my form. Several of the actors, male and female, thanked me for not speaking them out loud. I won't even show the actor what they are in case they have a body image issue.
