This is a rather short week because I want to get back to uploading mid-week. This week I hit 10,000 followers here on UA-cam, so this video contains a giveaway! (***GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED***) Additionally, I make a wearable mock-up of my ballgown skirt and it doesn't go quite as planned, but I learned a lot this week!
The Pattern is Truly Victorian TV294
I hope you enjoy!

Congrats on 10K I’ve been subscribed a while, I didn’t introduce myself initially, depressed introverts are extra shy. I’ve bugged you on Instagram, I’m Alba Malum Feline 02 over there. Le sigh, I was recommended your channel after a binge watching session over at Bernadette’s channel brought me to Ladies Sherlock, and, Watson.
Oh hi!! 👋🏻👋🏻
Costuming Drama I have The bonnet pattern in my possession now... Once I remake my regency stays I can get my regency bonnet game on🥰
Hi there!! I have the pleasure of letting you know that the first winner never contacted me back, so I did another random draw and you won the book!! I already have your address because of Patreon so I will ship that out to you so very soon! I'm very glad that this worked out in your favor!
Costuming Drama wow... thank you
@@Rotten_Ralph Way to go, RR!
I love how you *have* to iterate that you can still make the outfit with the green fabric to go with the striped top later.
And this ladies and gentlemen is why you have a fabric stash.
If I don’t, people will yell at me in the comments like it has somehow vanished from existence!! 🤣😂🤣
It's tough when kitties are sick. They're supposed to live forever!
Congratulations on 10K!!!!!! Woo woo!!!!! Everyone’s hopping on the CostumingDrama train!!! 🚂
Woo woo!!
I mean this in the nicest way: you remind me of my granny; she is a wonderful story teller. Most days she writes a journal entry (the trick to a daily journal is never to try to catch up if you fall behind, just start from today) and sends it out as an email to basically everyone she has ever met. She has long since retired and lives mostly at home so her life isn’t super varied but because she is such a good story teller it’s always nice to read about her plans for the day, often she includes what is essentially the historical version of a recipe: ‘tonight I’m going to spatchcock a chicken, oil and root veg strewn about the pan, shoving garlic cloves and rosemary under the skin and into knife pokes through the beast. I think we’ll have cheesecake for dessert or maybe a danish’. No measurements, no oven temps, and very little in the way of specifics. She just assumes you know how to spatchcock a chicken and that you want to start the potatoes after the carrots if you want super soft carrots or the other way if you want more crisp one and that of course you need onions and could add whole heads of garlic to the pan to cook etc. she isn’t always imparting vast wisdom but it’s pleasant to have her chat at me.
It is pleasant to have you chat at me, the wisdom, experience and sewing inspiration is also lovely when it crops up.
I take that in the very best way possible! 💖💖💖thank you! What a wonderful woman to be compared to!
Congrats on 10k! I found your channel through Bernadette, when you were making lady Sherlock and Watson. I hang around sewing channels hoping to some day find enough courage, time and space to try to learn sewing myself. Mainly for every day use, maybe historybounding, not sure yet...
I like watching your videos, to see the behind the scenes kind of thing. It, watching you and other historical sewing, has given me an other understanding of the way clothes can be constructed to function.
So, thank you for sharing, and inspiring!
I'm the same! Working up the courage to start with a regency shift and work my way out so I can live my Jane Austen/Bath fantasies hahaha...
Everything you said is me! Found her from Bernadette at the same time all the way down to the thank you. 😁😁
Oh I’m so glad that you are enjoying it! Do try it sometime! It’s not that hard and is totally worth it!!
DO IT! That one, especially, is very easy!!
Congrats on 10k! I thought I would introduce myself. I am a physics teacher and hobby sewist(sp?). I started my downward spiral into historical sewing/costuming when my daughter suggested that I follow Bernadette in 2018. Since then I have truly enjoyed following all of you in the CosTube community. I am also on a journey to lose enough weight to fit into the more historical silhouettes. I have tried to make a corset “from scratch” but I just can’t get that shape. Anyway... Thank you for sharing your journey with us!
DAYBROK3 I have looked it up and I was going to try one out but my waist is 55” wide currently. I’m still too new to figure out how to grade the patterns that much.
Hello! I love physics!! I’m so glad that you enjoy costube! And may I suggest something that sounds crazy to those of us who are always trying to be thinner? The ideal shape is whatever shape you are! I don’t actually corset down at all as my middle isn’t squishy. The clothes do most of the illusion work for you, so it might just be worth making something simple and cotton up just to see. I’m always astounded At how different the clothes make my body look (honestly, it’s most of the reason I do it!!)
Costuming Drama thank you for the encouragement! I will dive in then.
"I should really stop buying books" she said displaying yet another book. Love that, girl after my own heart lol.
Every. Time. Literally there’s already more in my house....
HELL YESS, I need a Costuming Drama Patreon to support!!
(Thank you for all the kitten warnings!)
That French fan skirt is one of my favourite patterns ever, I had one in black tafetta for the longest time and I actually wore it out! I really want to make myself another. The Butterfly bustle looks amazing over it.
Did yours drape well in the front? Please tell me that taking the tarlatan out will make it amazing!! 🤣😂🤣
@@Costuming_Drama I did not flatline or use tarlatan, I only faced the hem with some crinoline as my tafetta was crisp enough to hold the pleats. It really did hang beautifully. I even made it in tartan for a New Year party and once again I just faced the hem. I realised pretty quickly that the draping at the front would look too stiff if I flatlined, even with thin cotton.
Thanks! That tells me that I am on the right path!!
Hi, I'm fairly new to the whole costube thing. I'm a fibre crafter and not that much into sewing, but watching other people sew stuff is amazing.
That so many people seem to hate sleeves is also very fun.
When I make sleeved garments I refuse to do anything but raglan, dropped shoulder, cap, and circular yoke.
Welcome to costube! I’m so glad that you are enjoying it!!
Congrats on reaching 10K! You absolutely deserve it! That red taffeta is beautiful - I was actually thinking it would have made great trim for Crowley, so I was hoping you were going to make the skirt in the green! Have fun with Zack over the weekend, that treasure hunt sounds like great fun!
Thank you!!
*"Might take that down a notch, and just make it chill out"* ha, ha, ha lol! The butt-bow tamer. Congratulations on 10K, how very exciting!!! 👏👏👏
Congrats on 10k!!! I've finally started actually sewing (as in, with a plan, and some attention to detail) and it's going well :D It's helped I just started and finished season 5 of the great British sewing bee. That show gives me so much stress, but I jumped over from the pottery one so in contrast it's pretty chill.
Sad to hear about your cats problems, I heard from the previous vlogs about it, but my memory is basically a sack of potatoes. My cat's pushing 17, so it's really cat worries all round :/
In some good news, I've just found out that the Faculty of Music at Melbourne University has a Ball!!! I start first year in about a month, but damn if I'm no going Hard and making something extra af.
Hope you have a great time with your guest!!!
Ooooo please share what you make when you are done! I would love to see!!
I recently found myself down the costube rabbit hole, although I don’t do historical sewing of my own. I like sewing/quilting/making, and I like history, and nerdy stuffs, but work and life keep me from making all the pretty, non-practical things like Edwardian costumes. So I live vicariously through you, Cathy, Bernadette, Murica, Morgan and the like. All of you have inspired me to take the time to do some hand finishing with the clothing I do make, and appreciate the little touches to step up my game.
I have learned the hard way that getting all your frustrations and hiccups out of the way on a mock-up is WORTH IT. It makes the final make much more enjoyable, and you don’t end up with resentful feelings and the exasperated “get it done” mentality at the end.
Yesssss mock-ups seems at once annoying because more time and fabric, but also good cuz you get it all sorted before you do it for real!
Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I'm confident this is only the beginning, this amazing channel will surely continue to grow. Good luck going forwards, and again - congratulations
Aww thank you!!
I’m glad you’re trying to get back to midweek uploads! It gives me something to watch when work is slow, which is pretty often.
Congratulations on 10k! I've never introduced myself so hello there. I'm a university student from the UK who knows nobody in the costuming community and watches your wonderful videos for inspiration and company.❤️
Hello! So very lovely to meet you!! I’m so glad that you are here! 💖
hey, I'm a student in the UK too and also have no friends in the community! I just bore all the ones I've got with it 😂 I would love to get in touch? xx
Leah Jasmine int he UK too. Would love to get in touch with you and Lizi and see how we can help each other.
@@LizzieMcClarence Aaah, I'm sorry I didn't see this until now. I'd love to! ❤️
@@ladydunraven Yess great idea :)
Congratulations for reaching 10k! That’s wonderful! My name is Cristina and I live in Maine. I’ve been sewing since high school, so about 25 years. Over the years I’ve made clothes, costumes for my kids, and quilts. But I’ve never made a historical costume as it always seemed too hard. I’m very excited to start now though and watching all the Costubers has really inspired me! I love watching your vlogs and seeing all the fun you get up to. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us. ❤️
Nope! It’s not hard at all. It takes more time than current fashion, but it’s the same amount of difficulty! You should take it out for a spin and see what you think!!
I just purchased three patterns from Folkwear and need to buy the fabric now. I’m starting with the chemise pattern as it seems the easiest to me. In the past I have chosen to make “easier” looking modern clothes. But I’m ready for a challenge now!
Degas era ballet dresses were made from tarleton too. Congrats on the 10k!!
Oh neat! Maybe kiddo needs a tarleton Degas dress to twirl around in....just not near any lime lights...Thanks for the idea!
@@CaroMary07 thanks!
I like watching your vlogs when i'm sewing. It's like you're keeping me company, and when I not sewing your vlogs inspire me to do it :)
Congrats on 10k !!!! That's brilliant. I noticed it on my screen moments before you mentioned it :D
Congratulations on your first ten thousand subscribers. You have worked very hard and I have enjoyed getting to know you. I am a 68 year old who hates to sew. The thought of setting up my sewing machine causes me to break out in a cold sweat. I do know how to sew and have made many garments over the years I just don’t enjoy it. Why am I telling you this? I love to hand sew and finding you (and others like you) has sparked an interest in me. Will I make a period piece, perhaps but I will use my hand sewing skills to make a simple garment. Thank you for being part of my journey.
Awww thank you for having me on your journey! 💖
I figured it was about time I introduced myself. I joined your vlog a couple of months ago. I currently live in Alaska. I lived in Stockton, ÇA until 20 yes ago (born an raised, moved to AK at 43). Will be moving back down to Fallon, NV in the spring. Loved making renaissance clothing for the CA faire. Now I am anxiouse to make Victorian clothing to wear all the time because I love it. Because of you, I am dying to go to CC. My son lives in Sac, sis in Dunsmuir, and bro in Stockton. Daughter, grands, & gt grands in NV. Would love to meet you after the move, Keep up the great vlogs. I also suffer from "no butt itis" as well. Lol. Congrats on reaching 10k sub's. I'm not surprised.😊
I hope your move goes well and that you come to coco!! If you do, come say hi!!
It’s so nice to see someone and their hard work be showed off and shared for others!!! God, I love your channel
I can’t wait to see the good omens dress! Such a wonderful idea. Congratulations on 10K- you deserve it!
Glad I'm not the only women who is the handy lady of the house 🤣🤣
I have not intruduced myself yet thought I have been a subscriber for over a year. I am 21 and discovering my likings toward sewing. My mother taught me basic skills when I was like 8 and over the years I have improved myself but still discovering what kind of sewing I prefer and what kind of clothing. I am enjoying handsewing at the moment. It takes long, but it is sooo calming.
I like your videos and that you share your thought process with us!
I am sorry to hear about your cat :( hugs and kisses for her!
Anddd I love the red fabric :)
It’s very nice to meet you! And thank you for your kind words about Dakota!! 💖💖💖
Congrats on 10k! Also I'm in love with that red colour. Dark reddish burgundy is my favourite colour anyway but something about that stripy pink and green just speaks to me you know? Those too fabrics just go really well together
It’s my fav color too! And yes, that striped pink and green will get used at some
Point soon because I’m obsessed with it!!
Hi Noelle. I am glad that more people are subscribing to your channel as it is refreshing to see unedited (ish) sewing endeavors. It is very encouraging to see people who have been sewing for quite a while still learning, making mistakes and coming against a roadblocks, particularly for someone like me who is still new to sewing.
I believe that you saw the book on undergarments on Redthreaded (hope I spelled it correctly) IG feed. I saved a screenshot from her stories where she recommended it to put the book on my wishlist later. :) I do hope you will keep buying more sewing related books because I selfishly enjoy your recommendations and, as there aren't many good bookshops where I live, it allows me to see the inside of the book and assess its value to me.
Thank you for your time and effort that you spend filming and editing your sewing endeavors, I would get burned out after just few weeks of doing it. Don't know how you keep up. :) Best wishes, L.
Awww you are so sweet! And I’m so glad showing the struggle is so good for so many of you! It’s important to know that we are all learning and growing and trying and we can do it together!!
Congratulations on the 10k!! So excited for you😊
Thank you!!
Congratulations! 10 K. That is awesome😎 . And thank you for the update on your kitty, Dakota. It’s amazing how our animals can crawl to our hearts.
Congratulations 🎊 on 10K!
I'd be interested in Patreon as long as you have a tier around $5/month
Oh yes! For sure!
Very exciting news about this channel! More clothing like this, and less sweatpants with "juicy" emblazoned on the rear, is a good thing! I'm in love with all things Victorian and some early 1900's shows. Such as the Walton's. I felt the desire to have pretty housewife dresses like Olivia, so my stay at home mom self could saunter about this house full of boys a little more dignified. I immediately knew those dresses and aprons don't come ready on the local Meijer racks, and I would need to learn to sew my own wardrobe. That's where you came in, during my research and happy discovery of your treasure trove of videos! Thank you for teaching the world all that you know, and for dazzling us all with your fun personality! I look forward to seeing what this next year will bring, and wish you all the luck and tons of fun. ♡
That’s awesome!! I hope you live your housewife dreams!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻💖
Had it been me I would have unpicked the top of the front of the skirt and dipped or swabbed the lining in Woolite/warm water to soften the drape-y part of the skirt but kept the shape of the bottom to match the back.
...but it’s not my skirt!
(Was that kind?!)
Hahaha sure! Actually the bottom of the skirt is kind of annoying me too, so I’ll pull it all out and see and maybe add some horsehair braid to give it some body!
Yay! 10K. I find your vlogs really inspirational, that when I don't get as much sewing done as I had planned it's okay. So thank you!
Yay for 10k!!! 😍💖😍💖 Congrats
Thank you!!
Hello! Lenore from Sweden here. I'm into the styles from the late 1800 hundreds early 1900 hundreds. I'm learning to sew myself so I can wear my favorite time period for every day life. I'm building my own home with things and furniture from the same time. I'm also experimenting with cooking food from the same time period. ( hoping to be able to write a book eventually ) Love to sit and sew, crochet or knit while looking at your videos! Haven't got any friends that's into these kind of things so it's nice to watch you and your friends. Thank you for your lovely videos and exiting adventures! Love from Sweden ❤️❤️❤️
Love right back at you from California! There’s several of your from Sweden here, you all should chat and see if you are anywhere near each other!!
I read the rules in the description, it says the contest ends Jan 12 2020! I think you meant Feb? Congratulations on 10k! I think I've been here since 3 or 4k 😁
Totally good catch! I’ll fix it!
No worries, got your back!
The stripes are a great fabric. I can't wait to see what you make out of that. The red though, for the ball, ohhhh delicious.
Well done on reaching 10k!!. I want to get into historical costuming but I don't know where to focus in on first.
Pick your favorite era and go for it (regency is the easiest though!)
Congratulations on 10 thousand. This channel has very quickly become one of my favourite channels.
I love watching your blogs so much, and am really enjoying your work ethic of just trying things and seeing how they go (and giving yourself a break if they don’t work out quite how you thought!) We all spend so much time beating ourselves up if a project doesn’t go to plan, but these are the things that actually hold us back and make us fearful of trying new things! Nobody is an expert at something the very first time they try it. I’m not even a sewer, I just mean in every aspect of life!
Loving the colour of the material for your mock up. Dark red is my literal jam. So sorry to hear about your cat’s health issues, but what a lucky cat to live with you and your husband, given so much love.
So happy you’ve hit 10k - well deserved! You have a natural charm and friendliness that sparkles through the screen. Cannot WAIT to see the final costume for the May ball in Bath - and all the other costumes and people there, it will be so exciting to watch. And it helps that I happen to adore Good Omens. X
Awww what a delightful and thoughtful comment! 💖💖 I’m so glad you are liking my experiments!! ( truth be told, this one may fail out and I may just make a big old bustle and not make this skirt for the call. We shall see!!)
Hi! I'm Melanie. I am not sure exactly how I found you except that I sew (mostly clothes for me, purses, and the occasional quilt) and like to watch vlogs about sewing and I think you popped up on my recommended list. I have enjoyed watching your processes (sewing and internal thought!) Love to watch these costumes come to life. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, my name is Dawn and I live in Missouri. I just finished binge watching your videos. I don’t really know much about sewing, but I love history and historical clothes. Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching the process of costume making and your travel videos!
Hey Noel! Love your channel! I'm in Denver and fell into a historical dress worm hole one night and have been obsessed ever since. I started with Bernadette's channel, but when I found yours I thought, "she's my size and she makes awesome clothes too! OMG I might be able to do this!" I've been a sewing fiend ever since. Thank you for being my muse!
Of course you can do this!!
I think what I love most about your videos is watching you figure out all the things I am currently stuck on! It's so encouraging to learn with you. Keep up the good work!!
It's always so nice to have these vlogs for some company when hand sewing! I'm always looking forward to some nice catch-ups, be it on a weekday or weekend :)
Congratulations on reaching 10K subscribers. Love watching you when I'm in the kitchen.
I love getting to snuggle my cat and watch your videos, I'm cutting out patterns for all my new projects! Congrats on 10 million!
Found you via Bernadette's channel. Love watching you chat away like we are right there with you. Congratulations on the 10,000 follows. So amazing.
Holy guacamole!!! Would love to have that book!! I still love your chatty content. And I love all the stuff you show us too. Can’t wait to see your dress.
I have been sewing since I was 11 or 12, almost 50 years, but your videos have inspired me to at least think about making costumes and finding ways to wear them in real life. Thank you.
DOOOO ITTTTTT! 🤣🤣
10k is major! And well deserved. I started sewing 18th century clothes in 2018. Loved history and historical clothing all my life.
Whoo! 10.000 padawans and growing~ 😁 can't wait to see the gorgeous good omens gowns you and Morgan are going to create 😱😎
I started to follow you a month or so ago. I fell down the rabbit hole with Cathy Hay and Bernadette Banner. Then I was very happy to find you. My 12 year old daughter and I love to watch your videos together. I know that you guys are safe for her to watch. She is into sewing and loves to see what your making. I love the fact that you keep it real, you show that people can and do make mistakes. That there is nothing wrong with that. I was in a reenacting group for a few years. But got burnt out by all the BS. I love how you say if it makes you happy then fine, you do you. All of you that I have found have been amazing and I am very glad that I found you. Also since I am a Disney lover, I enjoy your Disney videos as well. Thanks again.
Awww I’m so glad that you enjoy the videos!! There’s more and more of us every day too!! I’m so happy to see this community grow and become something so much more!!
I have been watching for a few months now and you make me wanna to get back into sewing. Congratulations on hitting 10k subscribers. I wish you well on your list of projects and I hope you well on everything else. I love your videos and i love how entertaining they are.
Omg I am so excited that you are at 10000!!!! I started historical sewing because of you! I am currently working on binding the tabs of my 1770s stays. Lots of hand stitching. So much hand stitching. Your vlogs have been my only solace through this thing!
Hahahahaha been there! Just keep stitching! 🤣💖
Wonderful to hear of the 10K. Love your channel and it is always inspiring me to sew more. And that brooch was way sparkly.
Congrats!! on reaching 10K followers! :) Don't think I've ever mentioned how much I enjoy your sewing room. The artwork, books, etc. add so much to the general ambiance of your workspace. Hope to have a similar space in my home one day! :) I made a skirt very similar to this one (based on a 1960s McCalls pattern) when I was a senior in high school. My dad worked as a research chemist for a company that developed fabrics, etc. He found some discarded sample fabric on the floor one day and brought it home for me to play with. It was similar to ?velour?, ?velvet? ..... so, needless to say, the skirt is not historically accurate, but I had fun wearing it over the years. It's still hanging in the closet...a little worse for wear! ;)
Sending lots of positive, healing energy for your sweet Dakota!
Oh that’s awesome and even more so that you have it still!!
Congrats on 10k. I am a hobby sewer, just getting back into sewing. My mom designed her own patterns and taught me to sew. Basically I have been sewing for over 40 years. My main sewing has been quilts. My favorite was a scrap quilt made out of the scraps from the clothes my mom made for me. I am also an addicted knitter.
I live in the SF. Bay Area
Love your videos.
Thanks! And quilting is a precision sport!! Good on ya!! 💖
The color on that skirt is drool-worthy! So pretty! Hope you can take a little video of that city-hunt thing you are doing. Sounds like so much fun! Congrats on the 10K, Noelle!
Thanks for showing us the insides of the new books you have in your collection. Additionally your book shelf tour was great! It helps me really see if it’s a book is needed in my collection. I have one couture book, so if I am chosen that would be useful. Greatly enjoy your channel, congrats on 10k on UA-cam. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing all your information and the journey in recreating these patterns. You're learning is refreshing for those of us who are balanced on the precipice of actually doing this. We don't have to know everything or be perfect at the doing. We've seen the magnificent work you do...and yet you make mistakes; you learn as you go. Hopefully, some of us will just go ahead and jump into this, following your lead, m'am! I'd love to have the book, by the way! Thank you for that!
Please do jump in! We’re all in it together!!! 💖
I am so in love with that red fabric! And I can't wait to see the Crowley and Aziraphale inspired dresses
Congratulations on 10k!! I recently found your channel via a costume college vlog and very excited. Longer videos are the best to sew along to and your vlogs are perfect!
Woo Hoo and Congratulations on 10,000 followers. That's so wonderful! I am so happy for you!! Girl power.... FEARLESS!!
That red colour is so beautiful 😍 I get procrastinating about something your unsure about, if I try to do something new, whatever it may be, my flat always is clean, because I do housework instead of the other thing. Well, I guess at least it's something I have to do anyway 😂
Congratulations! I love watching your vlogs, as you learn how to do things, so do I. I’ve been sewing for a little over a year and a half and I’d like to thank you for introducing me to aspects of making garments that I’ve never heard of. Although I haven’t forayed into costuming yet, I have a fond appreciation for sewing patterns from the 1950s and 1960s. (Mainly cause my grandma gave me all her patterns lol)
Oh what a lovely treasure to get from her!!!
Gosh, that color is GORGEOUS! I know it's a wearable mock up and that's a good thing because it is soooooo pretty! - drooooool!
I have serious envy of your book collection. So very happy that you hit 10k! Thank you for bringing us all along on your costuming adventures. Your videos always brighten my day.
I love your book recommendations! I've been sewing since I was a little child and have been getting more and more into historical dress and love seeing all of your creations
Historical sewing has fascinated me for decades.....as an observer. I think I might start making costumes for my granddaughter's 18-inch dolls. Could be challenging!
Ah,it's lovely to come home from school and have the notification for a new video of Costuming drama. Also congratulations for hitting 10k subscriber's.
Congratulations on the 10.000 :D It sure picked up since CoCo last year !! YAY!!!
Oh my hubby is the same ... he is a physicist but lo and behold something comes off or needs repairs .... then I have to come to the rescue and fix it.
I'm sorry about your kitteh, you know when to let her go, enjoy each other's company until then.
Hi! I'm a newer follower. I found you through the costuber Christmas gift swap videos. I think one of them must've been in my recommended feed. I fell down a rabbit hole and watched all of them and subscribed to the people who's video styles I enjoyed. I like that you do vlogs, travel, and sewing videos on your channel. I've been enjoying your content for the past month or so. I have dreams of making some historical clothing for myself but haven't dipped my toes in yet. In the meantime I've picked embroidery back up and have been enjoying watching yours and others sewing videos while I do that.
Hi! Lovely to meet you!! I need to dip my toe into embroidery soon too!
I love the pattern choices you made as well as the fabric options you had for the mock up.
Thanks for showing us your mock-ups, the things that aren't quite right and how you plan to change it, I find that very useful. 🙂
Congrats on 10K, well-earned. Sending supportive vibes to you and your kitty. Wishing you good news. I'm a recent import from Bernadette's page. I was into historical costuming when I was younger and in the Society for Creative Anachronism. I'm retired with time to sew again, but no real outlet for it. So I'm living vicariously through you and your fellow costumers. Thank you for taking me places and showing me things I can only dream about. HUGS
Hugs right back! 💖
Yay for 10K! Congrats! I've been watching you for a good while now - since before last Costume College- and I really enjoy tagging along on your sewing endeavours. Your work is very inspiring and I often just listen while I sew or game. As sewing and gaming are the things happening up here on the northern cap of the world during winter darkness.
I'm always happy to see a new video by you, whether it is posted during the week or on the weekend and I was very eager to get home after work to watch it today! Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers! The deep red fabric for the fan skirt is a beautiful choice and I hope that the front drape hangs better once the tarlatan situation is figured out. No new listens yet and no concrete projects to share at rhe moment. I babbled enough though. Sending loving thoughts your way!
Congrats on your 10k milestone! I have been following you for a while now and you have inspired me to finish some plain sewing projects. I need more time in a day though...maybe retirement will help with that. Thank you for all the time you devote to this channel and taking us along on the journey.
Hahahaha! I can tell you, retirement doesn’t help with that! Somehow I am busier than I ever was while working!
Congratulations on getting 10,000! So excited for you. Keeping my fingers crossed for the book. You are very generous.
I am so happy that you have made it to 10k!! I have followed you recently but have seriously spent so much time trying to catch all your videos!! They are so much fun to watch and I often have your videos playing in the background when i sew! You have inspired me to try sewing historical costumes!!!
Oh that’s so wonderful! Thank you for telling me!!
Hello Noelle, lovely to see you again. A magazine of underneath-ness. Cool. Oh…the sparkly brooch. Gorgeous! 10,0000!! You have levelled up. Love books. Books are marvelous. The ball shall be taken over by a murder of crow(ley)s 😁 Not a coward, just cautious. A good quality for a seamstress. Love the burgundy dotted situation. The pale green stripes are lovely, but I'm always partial to more jewel toned shades. Pockets are essential. Where else would one keep their Chapstick? Loved loved LOVED The Night Circus. I'll have to pick up The Starless Sea, for sure. Hope all is well with the unexpected medical thing. *hugs* about Dakota. Good luck with mock-up #2. The SF Treasure Hunt sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing and take care of you.
Congratulations on 10k subscribers! I also want to thank you for motivating me to get myself to Lacis! I have passed it so many times, and after your video with Cathy, I finally made it inside. It's fabulous. Thank you for all of the inspiration and laughs!
It really is a wonderland!!
10k, whoo hoo! Congratulations! The way I deal with too narrow fabric is to lay the fabric out single layer, no fold. Then cut one piece long enough for the length of your pattern, plus seam allowance and hem. Then put the cut piece on top of the remaining fabric, right sides together and align grain. That way you have 2 full width pieces. It can take some extra yardage to do this but it avoids unnecessary seams.
Congratulations! Your videos are lovely to listen to while I attempt to do my own sewing. I find your book reviews to be wonderful and very helpful. Your travel vlogging however, makes me jealous. Looking forward to future videos and sewing adventures. :)
Oh...and hearty congrats on you 10K! That is so awesome. You and Bernadette, and Cathy have really got me hooked! I'd love to vlog, but not sure I have enough to say that would be of any interest. Anyways...thanks for what you do!
Those books are very intriguing-so many excellent photos and resources mentioned in their articles. I must admit that I have a soft spot for Edwardian clothes, so that one quite appeals to me. Putting it on the list!
That’s a nice giveaway for people, too! That book I have already, though I haven’t done much with it yet.
Congratulations! Watching your vlogs I finished hand sewing and flossing my corset 🙂
Really enjoy your videos and attention to detail in your sewing. Looking forward to seeing what you have coming next!
An introduction I’m KathyRose. I found you and watched the Vienna, Austria, Paris, France, etc. etc.. trip. Which all came out from me looking for knitting stockings. Now I feel like one day I may even try to sew up some sort of costume 😁Thank you for the inspiration and sharing .
Hi there! So nice to meet you! Yes! Do try it! It’s super fun!!
Hi from Oregon :) Those books are fantastic, def going on my wishlist. I appreciate you talking about sizing and fitting patterns, it's something I am trying to learn about. I've seen some I adore and know would look good for my body but are too small as is, so please continue to share as you learn more.
I'm so happy for you and you're 10,000 subscribers landmark!
Brava!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Congratulations on the 10K! I can't wait to see all the ball gowns in May! You and Morgan have to incorporate feathers into your looks. Yours should go the way of when they started using whole birds on their hats in the late Victorian era, I think that's the most Crowley option.
Here I am introducing myself! I was immediately drawn to your video because I am making the 1890's walking skirt. I've got my skirt flatlined and now I need to fell the seams before I sew the waistband on. I like to repurpose material, I found this great cream and blue striped curtain made of 100% cotton, that was perfect. Of course it wasn't exactly enough, I had to horizontal the stripes for the front panel. It's actually my mock up before I make my Gibson Girl/Schoolmarm for Costume College. Came to you through the Secret Santa Videos, such a great idea for a holiday video. Good luck to you on the skirt. I look forward to your struggles, they inspire me to keep pushing through.
Hi! Nice to meet you and I’ll see you at coco!!
I am a recently new sub. My name is Janey and I'm so glad that I found your channel. I haven't sewn in many years...... kids, work, life....... but I am now getting back into the swing of things. Thanks so much for all that you bring to this wonderful youtube community!
Hello! Lovely to meet you!! 💖
Congratulations on 10K! I found your channel while watching Bernadette and following the CosTube Secret Santa trail. I enjoy listening to the rambling of people who seem like they know what they're doing and you are doing great work with sewing. You certainly have more patience with unpicking a good bit of the skirt. I would love to make my own costumes for RenFaires, but I just don't know how to start. Love what you go and good luck with your new project.
Congratulations! Excited to see your ball gown adventures!
Congratulations! Good news/bad news...sorry about your fur baby. Sending prayers for it and you for a healthy outcome on your med issue. I love your skirt fabric! It looks great so far.
