Jump to minute 10:07 if you'd like to skip the pattern drafting explanation! In case any of you are only here for sewing, AKA close up's of the Singer 99K ;)
This has so much of a lovely Bob Ross feel to it. You can draw a rectangle, I have faith in you! It doesn't have to be exact, just round off the top there for your neck. All of sewing is just happy accidents, that's what makes our garments unique
"Fencing duel, swashbuckling, seduce a maiden or whatever..." Well consider this maiden seduced :P Like, I normally hate yellow, but your extremely dramatic eyeshadow game here kicks butt! Between that and the vest and blouse, you look like the world's most dazzling pirate
You folks are helping me to develop my own style, if it can be called that. I am fat, nothing in the store is wide enough or long enough or easy enough to put on, and I hate being squeezed. Now I have a dress pattern I like and I made a couple of short dresses for under the outside dress for winter or sleeping in.
That's awesome that you're learning how to make your own clothes! Especially clothes that fit right and feel comfortable. 🥰 I honestly feel like nothing in stores is made to fit anyone. Blegh! I have an extremely short torso, so my ribs almost meet with my hip bone. Meaning that every shirt I will ever try on will turn me into a short little square. 🟦😑 ¡Viva la Revolución de Ropa! Let's all rock the boat with clothes we love that fit right, feel right, and aren't fast fashion! 🏴☠️
I get quite nostalgic seeing your vintage sewing machine. I first learned to use a singer treadle machine when I was about eight. I was so excited when Mum bought an electric sewing machine. Thanks for this video. Although I learned to sew early and made a lot of my own clothes for many years, I haven’t had time for sewing since about 1994 when I had our eighth child. I am now retired and need to relearn a lot. Particularly drafting and adjusting patterns and the order of assembly. I also watch some other you tube sewers and am amazed they draft directly on the fabric and never a pin in sight.
I'm literally waiting for some fabric to arrive so I can make a new peasant blouse and now I'm definitely going to use this tutorial cause this is simpler than the ones I've made in the past, but looks way better and there's no gussets hooray!
I've never been into the more stereotypical peasant blouse type outfits, but you sure make that thing work. Love, how elegant/dramatic it looks the way you style it.
The creaking in the background made me uncomfortable, but I have the opposite reaction to ASMR type sounds (it gives me anxiety instead of pleasure). I do appreciate that she experimented though.
THANK YOU! I am self-drafting a Garibaldi-style blouse (think 1860's) and every person that I saw making something similar just talked about the pattern and never showed how they drafted the pattern, themselves. 🤦🏻♀️ So. A huge thank you. I can now go make my sleeves. *Bows deeply*
I am in love with this blouse. I must immediately make one in every colour and then find a reason to wear them with my black velvet corset. Also, I am here for more spooky season costumey stuff.
Hell yeah upcoming costumey videos! Tbh I'd probably watch you make stuff from any era/style. Fun fact: the way you sew on the sleeves here is how you sew sleeves on Barbie-sized clothes. May or may not be thinking of making little pirate blouses for dolls now
After sewing for 50 years, 40 of which I was an independant professional, making only custom, one-of-a-kind, garments, all period clothing & accessories, I was happy to find an easier & much faster way to make seam binding. Of course, for the past 2 years, I have dedicated myself to maling my own wardrobe, finally, and now having 52 ensembales dating from Roman/Trojan jumping to Medieval thru to the Gay 90's, mostly I am an early 18th century pirate. I have only 2 garments to make neither requiring seambinding, but I have a dozen Corsets & Bustiers, most of which need theif cheap & throughly useless plastic boning replaced with spring steel boning, & that means new seambinding throughout, so Yeah!
Yes a billion times yes. I’ve been on the hunt for a few days to find a good peasant blouse pattern. I have some nice purple cotton fabric and I’ve been so scared to mess it up. If this one will work good I’ll make one or five in different colors and have a full fall wardrobe of them to pair with my 18th century stays and the new corset I intend to buy. And your sewing machine is beautiful I love it and that shadow paired with the vest was chefs kiss.
YES! I was just watching your other video in prep for making one of these! So glad you've made a separate video on it! I'm utilizing the chill in the air (and those Joann's sales) to make one in black flannel of all things. Between you and Bernadette Banner, I'll have poofy shirts for days!
I always find it amazing how much variation is possible with simple shapes and imagination to make clothes.somtimes I think we just make clothing overcomplicated .thank you for those of us that like simple easy to put together clothes that we can personalise.
I'm so jealous of the way you sew over your pins! I swear my machine knows when I've left my pins in and is determined to punish me! I love your blouse!
I know this is not a current video, but I had to comment. Thank you!!! I do so appreciate your clear directions and explanations of how and why. I really wanted a pirate shirt. I had not found any in the local thrift stores. Can't afford online shopping. (Once you open that door it so almost impossible to close it. ) I have several old sheets in appropriate colors that are going to soon be pirate shirts. They will go so nicely with a walking skirt type skirt and a sun hat for the extremely warm weather this summer. 🤗
Thank you for showing the drafting. I'm just starting to learning more intermediate sewing like sleeves and darts through you tube and this is very clear.
I like these peasant blouses much better than the contemporary patterns, which are almost all off shoulder or looks bad with shoulders covered. I don't think you're a lazy sewer. You think out your projects before getting started. I've yet to see you run out of fabric during the layout or cutting, which leads to a wonky garment. You finish the seams and do a good job of construction. Some of these vloggers who have all kinds of sponsorship and create patterns for one of the big four. Short on fabric that creates a wonky layout, unfinished seams, garment not draping on the body as it should and just overall shoddy workmanship. Your videos are fun because the end result is a garment done right and I enjoy them immensely.
as a beginner sewer your way of describing things is soo incredibly informative and really nice to follow. thanks for this video, definitely inspired to try and sew one of these myself! xx
First of all, you are so freaking gorgeous! Second, I really wish that I could pause the video to take notes without UA-cam covering half the screen. They really need to fix that. Third, thank you for this video!!! This is my next project and I really didn’t want to deal with some of the other patterns I’ve found. You made this so simple!!! I love what you do and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skill with us!!
I see you've moved on from treating your new sewing machine gently and gone back to your default living on the edge style of sewing straight over the pins 😂 you are braver than me, love this blouse and your makeup btw, beautiful!
The more videos I watch, the more I want to bring my vintage singer up out of the basement and get it working. My husband's grandfather gave it to me. It was his late wife's. She got it as a wedding present in '54 and used it once.
So I went and got a notebook and pen, got my tape measure, took all my measurements, followed the instructions exactly - aaand it turns out my pattern is identical to yours. Good to know in the future I can just copy your measurements without all the fussing around! 🤣
YAY! You inspire me to sew more amazing things and be more creative than I thought possible. Thank you for being you! Sending endless blessings and well wishes xo
I thought way too long and hard on my ren faire outfit when I should have just come here lol I watched this before but it didnt occur to me that I could just lengthen it into a dress like you mentioned. I'll be here for a while haha thank you for this!
Your tutorials/videos are so helpful and descriptive. You make drafting feel way less complicated. Also, you're a delight. Thanks for the outfit goals! I was tempted by the white blouse version, but now I'm absolutely in love with the black. Plus that gold vest!
You don't need a screwdriver to lower the presser foot pressure on a 99K. The knob at the top of the presser foot (the one on the back part of the nose) is what controls it and all you have to do is turn it counter clockwise to lower the pressure. If it won't budge, try dripping a little sewing machine oil in there.
By far the most comprehensive tutorial for this kind of top! So happy you made this. My only problem was that it was hard to see with the black on black. But you verbalized what you were doing so I still knew what was going on. Saving this so I can make it on a later date 😁😍
Silk is the worst. Whenever I am afraid to clip 'aggressively' into a seam allowance or corner because the fabric is a pain, I fuse a small square of light interfacing to that spot to reinforce it and then clip without fear. Love your eyeshadow and big sleeves.
That blouse is to die for!!!! It is so amazing!!! And as always you look gorgeous! !! When its safe to go out into the world again you are gonna rock it!!!!
I haven't even gotten more than a minute into the video and already: 1. you are so talented and skilled; 2. you have a fantastic eye for makeup; & 3. you're so pretty!
I love this video! I love a billowy sleeve and the epic music accompaniment. I absolutely adore your eye makeup as well. 🤞I hope we can get a makeup tutorial vid in future.
thank you for simplifying the pattern drafting for this style, Bianca. I have wanted to make the short sleeved version of the peasant blouse for a while now :)
About clipping silk or flimsy fabrics, I have used a thin line of Fray Check which really helps although the suggestion made by another viewer of pressing in a thin square of interfacing might be a terrific idea. Your instructions were very clear and a great help. That shirt is beautiful! Thanks for tweeking the light so we could see what you were doing much better. Very nice fashion show at the end! Best of health to you and your's!🐱👩🌾🌱🛶🍂🍁🌲🎃☕

"Delicate Silk Situation" is my prog folk band name. It's HEAVILY flute based.
I so want to hear that now, i picture people in billowing shirts dancing in a field LOL
I love this comment XD
drop the bandcamp when you have it please
The ribbon/elastic cuff trick was ingenious and I never would have thought of that. I'm definitely going to use that on future projects.
Thank you!
This has so much of a lovely Bob Ross feel to it. You can draw a rectangle, I have faith in you! It doesn't have to be exact, just round off the top there for your neck. All of sewing is just happy accidents, that's what makes our garments unique
a vest that matches my eyeshaddow SO BRIGHTLY is definitely a goal and something I realise is lacking from my wardrobe
"Fencing duel, swashbuckling, seduce a maiden or whatever..."
Well consider this maiden seduced :P
Like, I normally hate yellow, but your extremely dramatic eyeshadow game here kicks butt! Between that and the vest and blouse, you look like the world's most dazzling pirate
Marinary Can I apply for that Maiden position? I am sure there are many applicants.
epic musical cue!
Down with the unisex clothing! What would this look like a a dress?
Thank you Marinary!
I think it would work great as a dress!
You folks are helping me to develop my own style, if it can be called that. I am fat, nothing in the store is wide enough or long enough or easy enough to put on, and I hate being squeezed.

OK. I'm going to clip my curves. You have convinced me. It was the look you gave me. Now, I will. Promise.
You are the best teacher. Thanks Bianca.
"...true...epic..sleeveness" that is a true epic phrase!
That color of silk is to die for ✨
To dye for, even 😄

I've never been into the more stereotypical peasant blouse type outfits, but you sure make that thing work. Love, how elegant/dramatic it looks the way you style it.
Thank you Rara!
I'm loving the ambience sounds and music in the background while you talk, it just works so well! I find the editing of this video very relaxing
The creaking in the background made me uncomfortable, but I have the opposite reaction to ASMR type sounds (it gives me anxiety instead of pleasure). I do appreciate that she experimented though.
@@ajjones8013 that's completely understandable, there's probably a balance to be found somewhere
I think the sound in the background was rain 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you Mélissa! It was a "ship at sea" sound effect for the pirate feel during the patterning!
Love it! Gah, Bianca, you are a delight. Love the secret elastic drawstring combo, that's great!
Thank you Cait!
Those sleeves have some serious billow and the elastic in the cuffs is genius.
THANK YOU! I am self-drafting a Garibaldi-style blouse (think 1860's) and every person that I saw making something similar just talked about the pattern and never showed how they drafted the pattern, themselves. 🤦🏻♀️ So. A huge thank you. I can now go make my sleeves. *Bows deeply*

Thank you Caryn!
the shirt is amazing, but my main focus still was how perfectly your eyeshadow matches with the waistcoat!
Thank you! It's a JDGlow shimmer shadow and this is simply one of my favorite colors
Same
I'm here for the Singer 99K, amazing machine, wonderful engineering.
Hell yeah upcoming costumey videos! Tbh I'd probably watch you make stuff from any era/style.
Fun fact: the way you sew on the sleeves here is how you sew sleeves on Barbie-sized clothes. May or may not be thinking of making little pirate blouses for dolls now
Thank you Holly! Barbie sized blouses sound so cute!
I was thinking the same...1 of a kind fabric augmented dolls Pirate attire and so much more.
EVERY sewing project requires epic music! This is the Way 😆😆😆
Indeed!

Bianca! I cannot handle how beautiful your eye makeup looks! Its gorgeous!
Yes a billion times yes. I’ve been on the hunt for a few days to find a good peasant blouse pattern. I have some nice purple cotton fabric and I’ve been so scared to mess it up.

Thank you Emily!
Permission to make sleeves without gusset granted.
Thank you!!
OHHHH, I LOVE those sleeves!!! That yellow/gold vest is fantastic and thank you so much for another awesome tutorial. BTW, great shoes, too.
Thank you!
I would love to see you create costumey things! I can hardly wait :D
Thank you Sheri!
Proclivity for pyrotechnics! Love the alluring alliteration Bianca!
YES! I was just watching your other video in prep for making one of these! So glad you've made a separate video on it! I'm utilizing the chill in the air (and those Joann's sales) to make one in black flannel of all things. Between you and Bernadette Banner, I'll have poofy shirts for days!

I know I'm saying the same thing as everyone else, but I love the way you did the cuffs. How clever.
Thank you Breandan!
I'm so jealous of the way you sew over your pins! I swear my machine knows when I've left my pins in and is determined to punish me! I love your blouse!
Thank you Bettsi! My machines and I have an understanding ;)

Shhhh don't tell everyone!! ;) Thank you!
The sleeve trick with the ribbon and elastic is genius! I definitely need one of these for my wardrobe now.
Love the blouse and the pyrotechnic propensities!
Thank you!
Ah! Love your green eye make up! 💗 Very sassy!
Thank you!
Easiest peasant top I’ve seen done!!! I love it 🥰
Thank you Angela!
So grateful for this. Finally found fabric I like at the thrift store to make a few of these. Looking forward to experimenting.

Thank you Dawn!
This is the blouse of my dreams but I never knew quite how to go about it. You just made my year.
I loved the epic music! It was fun! I would love to make this as a nightgown.
I thought way too long and hard on my ren faire outfit when I should have just come here lol I watched this before but it didnt occur to me that I could just lengthen it into a dress like you mentioned. I'll be here for a while haha thank you for this!
You make it look so easy! The elastic and ribbon is awesome!
Your tutorials/videos are so helpful and descriptive. You make drafting feel way less complicated. Also, you're a delight. Thanks for the outfit goals! I was tempted by the white blouse version, but now I'm absolutely in love with the black. Plus that gold vest!
Thank you Reina!
Oh that music! And yes, doing black on black is hard. I am seam ripping black on black as I watched this.
As soon as you started the epic music I hit the like button. Love your videos.
Thank you Jayna!

I mean the fashion is fabulous as always but your eye makeup is to die for! Love that colour combo.
Thank you!
Now I wanna make 1 or 4 and a vest or 3 to go with my skirts
A capital idea! Have fun!
You have great taste and all your projects are done so well. But also, everything looks good on you.
Thank you!

Genius cuff ties. Gonna use that idea
The ribbon-elastic combo is genius! I learn so much watching your videos.
Thank you Marna!
