Very cool

good job, great info! :)

Hello! It's nice to see you! This session of stitches has answered a question I had about back stitches. Now I know where to use backstitches. Thank you.

A beautifully done presentation. I could almost taste it from my childhood when my mother made it from scratch.

Welcome back!! I'm so sorry about your hard drive. Congrats on the new job and congrats on the new acquisition!

I was wondering what happened to you. Glad you're ok. It will be interesting to watch you make the folk costume from Italy. Hope this year goes better than last year. Happy New Year!

I forgot to add, while I may not remember all my teachers, I fondly remember every school librarian by name.

Welcome back! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Looking forward to the outfit! So sorry to hear about the computer problems! That can be so demoralizing!

Glad to see you back! Love watching your videos as I adore history. So glad to hear you have the computer issues sorted, and happy to hear about your new job also! Take care 🙂

California always Will be mexican land, stolend land.

What brought me to looking up home made cherry liqueur was watching Nigella Lawson Feasts s1, e1. She made a chocolate cherry trifle. She sliced cherry cake and using morally cherry jame between two pieces like sandwiches, she packed them into the bottle of a trifle bowl. She then liberally laced the cake with cherry brandy. Made a chocolate custard she poured over when somewhat cooled. Finally, she made a very LIGHTLY sweetened whipped cream. She said dont make it over stiff. It should be 'celestial'...like a cloud. I thought, OMG.... Now I want to find a great recipe for the brandy I can try. Thank you for your video. Hello from Massachusetts!

Gorgeous!

Thank you so much!!

Looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing, friend. Let's stay connected!

This was really fascinating. Thank you.

Very interesting, thank you for posting.

*adds Annis seeds to shopping list* Thanks! I'll share this with my sister because I'm sure my nieces will love it! They just made a topographical map of California for school.

Ooh interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! Thank you for posting \(^-^)/. (wish there was a level above 'thumbs up' for this)

I never knew what the strawberry was for!!! Now I need one. Thank you!!

Hello, I am very glad you shared this garment. I specialize in bead restoration in garments and purses. In my opinion the beads are real Jet. They are lighter than glass beads as in French jet. Also glass would be much more shiny and what I could tell in your video these beads are dull, yes faceted but dull. I also feel there is a chemical reaction to the threads and or the Jet itself that are up against the ribbon thus the decolorization. The bead pattern between the ribbons is a common bead weaving pattern. It can be done quickly and with ease once you know the count. I would love to chat with you live about this garment. This is a treasure and you were right to save it from destruction.

As difficult it was for women ( not that I think it's that much better socially) I think I would have been happy in that era. ( becuz I'm a fool for a pretty dress!)

The time involved in making this garment must have been staggering.

Sounds like a great recipe for the crockpot. Thanks

This is a great crock pot recipe. This recipe is usually made in earthenware pots btw or on super low heat in a le creuset type of pot, where you top it off with more water every now and then. By the way your California history stuff is the best. Love the history of Placerville, Auburn , Sutter Creek, Tuolumne, and Mokelumne Hill areas. I recommend the book Rebellion de los Placeres by Fernando Alegría. As a scholar in California history I think you'd love it.

I've enjoyed this series of videos very much, and I have learned a lot of new things. Thank you.

OMG, I have been using my seam ripper wrong for over twenty-five years! Mind =blown.

This is going to be so helpful for everyone wanting to know the basics. I started as an 'unorthodox' seamstress when only 12. I learned from my parents 1930-40's style of sewing. In many ways their techniques made the quality of clothes excellent. But I love learning how the-rest-of-the-world does it! There are very basic things I don't know!

HI Elizabeth! I'm making quilts. I'm using old blankets instead of batting. I have been saving olds coats of a good fabric. I cut them into squares 12x12. sewed them together to make a 'duvet'. Then tack everything down through the layers of blankets. I'm going to embellish with some French knots and chain stitching along the squares here and there. I hope your subscribers share your channel on FB and other social media. Don't be shy! give this lady a thumbs up and subscribe, and share to social media.

Thank you for posting this great lecture! This video is has been a lifesaver for my 1830’s Californio costume project. Finding period illustrations of Californio folk costume in the early 19th century is incredibly difficult. It’s really interesting to see how these outfits borrowed from European, particularly Spanish, stylings but still had their own unique flair.

I went through a cordial making phase, the only one that I rated as a failure was the blackberry cordial. It tasted like cough medicine to me.

Yum. I love fruit in brandy.

I've watched a few of your videos now and I have to say, I really like your teaching style. Your videos are interesting without being overwhelming and I've learned a lot about sewing from you. Thank you, and I'm looking forward to learning more from you.

I really enjoyed this video. It was interesting. Thanks for that. I have a request, could you talk about cast iron cooking and care? I would like to use my cast iron more, but I'm not sure how, also I've heard that you are not supposed to wash cast iron, how then do you clean it?

the seamripper, we're doing it wrong :) and a seamgage never had heard of it.

Well apparently I've been using a seem ripper all WRONG. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something. Thank you.

What! I never knew that about the strawberry. Why didn't someone tell me this before? Excellent content. Thank you.

Scissors made like ancient swords is now a personal goal. I do love my all metal gingher scissors.

Great content keep up the good work this will be a treasure trove when you get to the sewing excellent job

I inherited my fabric scissors from my mother-in-law. They are all metal and are over 50 years old. I keep them in a leather case and they are very sharp. NO ONE uses those scissors except for me. Everyone in my house knows better than to even go in the drawer where I keep them. We have lots of other scissors they can use.

I've been costuming for over fifteen years and have never put it together that the angle of the blade in relation to the handle was different between crafting and fabric scissors. I totally just resorted my scissor drawer using this fabulous new knowledge.

Thank you. As interesting as European fashion can be, I'm more interested in what might be worn in areas I have lived, including California.

Thank you!!!!! I've been looking for this information!

Not sure how I missed this during Cocovid, but glad I found it. I really enjoyed hearing about early California history and the people who lived there. Thank you.

Wow, thank you for this couple of videos, that was really informative and interesting!

Most enjoyable! Where did you take the picture you use for your background? very clever!

300+ years later I walked through the rebuilt ]Carmel Mission's promenade and then parked across the street from the governor's mansion in Monterey. Thank you . you really filled in the blanks for me. However since I was very young, I sort 'felt' what they wore in that era. I wish I could live there in California again.

This is really interesting! Do you think that the fashion in California would have been similar to the fashion in Texas, I tried to research it but I couldn’t find anything
