My aunt is a seamstress and she always uses bar soap scraps to trace patterns onto fabric. Does anyone else do this because I think it's a pretty awesome way to reduce waste and of course it washes out because it's soap.
"Sorry Bernadette" hehe I found your channel through Bernadette's so that made me laugh for sure.
Okay, but can we just talk for a second about how beautiful the fit of this gown is?!? Like, how many bazillion mockups have you done to fine-tune that pattern, cuz dayum
"I thought red and green [socks] would be too on the nose". NOTHING was too on the nose for medieval nobility! lol. This turned out beautifully!
“I’m using something vaguely whip stitch like” is honestly such a mood
I love how Cristine has saturated the internet. Anyone want to see simplysewlogical debut?
As someone who regularly watches video essays, I find it funny that a 33 minute video is "extra long" in other YT spaces lol
I got a SimplyNailogical and Bernadette Banner reference in one video! Im ecstatic!
You are adorable at the end of this video! "Your branches are looking very twiggy today." "Waah!" "Ah, yes. A random path in the woods. Let's see where this goes...That's never how horror movies begin."
Wow. So beautiful, you and the gown. Never, ever be afeared of the "narcissistic montage". I LIVE for that. After all the work you put in, it's only right to wallow in the glamour and the glory that you've created.
I love the ongoing gag throughout all of CosTube- “Sorry Bernadette” every time something isn’t hand finished, and “Sorry Bernadette and Karolina” very time something isn’t historically “accurate”.
I really appreciated your tip for avoiding sagging when seams are on the bias. For most garments that don't allow for stitching straight grain to bias grain I usually just let the garment hang for a few days before hemming. That usually solves the problem.
..."I would like to reduce the number of pins currently being held hostage..." !! Oh, you made me spit my tea! :)
The "sorry Bernadette" had me dying! 😂😂😂
"Dab dab dab" I started to continue the phrase in my head and you did it for me. Always nice to find a SimplyNailogical reference in something non-nail related. Thank you for this tutorial!
So I don't know if you've ever covered this in a video before but a good tip for evenly pinning in sleeves is to pin the middle-top to the shoulder seam then pin the middle-bottom to the armpit seam. So you are pinning top, bottom, side, side and in between. It is super helpful in avoiding puckering/unwanted pleating!
Welp. This made the kirtle SO much easier to understand! I’ve been battling this pattern for about three years now, and each time it’s a huge frustration. You’re completely right, doubling up on the steps and repeating same information over and over helped, especially for those of us who don’t yet have a “routine” for all these important steps!!!
The effigy of the black prince that you showed (its the gilded knight) has an actual extant garment tied to it. It's a jupon and he did wear it (although almost certainly as court dress not into actual battle as the effigy would suggest.
I really appreciate that you kept in the mistakes you made, especially the sleeve-setting mishaps. I ALWAYS get pleats my first time around no matter how careful I am, and it gives me massive impostor syndrome. It's comforting to see that even an exceptionally talented seamstress, one I admire quite a lot, can sometimes make the same small mistakes I do.
Oh my goodness! So happy I found your Channel!
