  • In this video I make a dress loosely based off of 14th century dresses worn be common folks. I thought this would be a fun short video on how simple some medieval garments actually are to make. They were usually constructed of fairly basic shapes such as rectangles, triangles and squares. You really only need your measurements and some basic sewing knowledge in order to make a medieval chemise and some medieval gowns. I'd like to think its pretty easy and I hope this video might inspire some beginner sewists!

    Your advice at the end was so good - “don’t be a perfectionist so you can get stuff done” 🤓😂 Thanks for such an awesome video!!

      I stopped being a perfectionist when I saw this 6yo kid sew real good, but cut stuff like a kid. And realising that seam allowances are a thing

    4:49 omg 😭 thank you… I’m new to sewing and until now I feel like _no one_ has said “the curves on the front and back won’t match up” and I’ve been going through mock up after mock-up driving myself nuts

    If anyone wants it’s fitted at the front but doesn’t know how to draft a pattern for it, do it with the rectangles then put it on inside out and make it’s fitted near the waist and super tight under the bust (gives it some bust support) and then the front lacing too. You can change how tight it is. Also embroidery thread makes doing the eyelets so much quicker!

    You explained this so well and made it feel really approachable, even for a beginner! It looks gorgeous! I also appreciate the reminder to just try things, even if they aren't perfect. To me, the feeling of a garment I made myself is far superior to anything I could buy. And the quality is almost always better than fast fashion.
    If you do eyelets again, try an awl instead of a seam ripper. It will part the threads instead of breaking them, leading to stronger and neater looking eyelets. I'm still working on getting them pretty too. They're just so much cooler looking and feeling than metal eyelets, even if they aren't perfect!

    OMG! I had been driving myself crazy over how to dress up the ren fair chemise I just bought! Thanks to your simple rectangle/triangle simplifications, I'm going to make a little "overdress " from an AMAZING fabric remnant I found! Your instructions helped me so much! I've already cut out a muslin rough draft, once I tweak it, I'll make my garment. I have so much confidence to tackle it because of this video! I will post a picture when it's finished!! 😃 BTW, I haven't sewn anything since home-economics class back in the 80s... that's how confident I'm feeling after watching this!

    I love this! New to sewing and this is really helpful and now I'm gonna give it a try! And your advise in the end is something I just realized a week or two ago because I'm bad at being scared of messing up and end up not doing anything. So hearing you say that just kinda reassured me.

    • @ariadne0w1
      @ariadne0w1 Рік тому

      If you can, use an awl instead of a seam-ripper to poke the holes for the eyelets. This will mainly part the threads around a hole instead of cutting them, which will make it stronger and less likely to rip. If you're worried about the structural integrity of your fabric, baste a strong ribbon like cotton tape underneath each side of the lacing seam, then make the eyelets through both layers.

      The undergarment look pretty simple so I think they had some extra undergarment and matching with different overgarment..i have seen sleeveless overgarment so that's very easy to make..but for sure there was no overconsumption on clothing back then 😄

    • @ironrose888
      @ironrose888 10 місяців тому

      From what she says, you take your measurements and make your own pattern. I use wrapping paper left over from Christmas or birthdays. It has grid lines or dots that are one inch apart. Draw out the pattern pieces and use some cheap fabric to test the pattern. I used to have a friend and we would measure each other. Draw out the pattern and help each other out. I don’t know of anyone close to where I live that I could team up with. I’m in Wichita Kansas.

    I have a question, did you use 3 or 4 of the triangle thingys? In your sketch it says 3 but you said later in the video you added one to the front as well. I my mind the one in the front would be kind of hard to do in combination with the lacing? Or does it stop a bit below that?

    • @raiastravaganza2
      @raiastravaganza2 Рік тому +1

      Hey she did 4 gores. You can see the front one 5:58min. I think it stops at the waist a bit below the lacing slit.
