Angela ,Sorry to hear that Gwen has passed away ,I hope you're new little puppy will be well and happy xx
"Fulfill its rightful purpose" - YES! That's exactly how I feel when I cut into an unused pattern from 60+ years ago. These are utilitarian objects and not museum pieces.
I feel like those old patterns want us to use them.
Love vintage patterns. Although I do prefer to make a duplicate of the original and alter as needed. We do like our muslins.
@@sharonrimsza7960 I agree... I always alter the pattern to fit my modern body (I have a bigger bust, smaller hip-spring, usually), so why cut up the original, which might be over a hundred years old, and which is itself a record of the styles and shapes of its time? Instead, I trace it to new paper, make my alterations on the new paper, and go from there.
H
.
Vintage patterns do the most and least with instructions "Be sure to do 1/8” pleats or the fit will be altered" ... do them where?!
“Finish in the usual way”
But what is the usual way? I have no idea.
@@katherinemorelle7115 THIS ONE!
my edwardian patterns be like I'm gonna tell you so much about how to cut your fabric but then I will be all like 'assemble everything, finish your seams and you are done' like ?????
@@eleonore59830 my "favorite" patterns are the ones that look extremely straight forward but include one pattern piece with zero explanation and it's not until the mock up has been completed that you're like "Ohhhhh that's what that weird and vague instruction was about."
@@MuseAndDionysus Also love when antique patterns don't have a size/size chart on them AT ALL. Like dude I know this is probably an XS but tell me at least the waist size for that skirt.
The thumbnail coat is giving me Queen Elizabeth vibes!
I love bold wool coats.
I feel like it could go well with 1960s more "mod" styles too
Especially with the color blocking.
Yes! It absolutely does! I grew up and learned to sew in the late 60s and 70s.
Even the calicos and ginghams had wild electric shades and color combos.
But polyester double knit RULED!
EASY to wash and NO ironing required.
My grandparents have a 'yearbook' from the 60s, covering the events of the year, scientific discoveries, fashion, who died, so on and so forth, but in the fashion section, there is a photo of the latest fashions of the mod sixties, from the 1920s!
Indeed! The 60's took a lot of inspiration from the late 1920's. Very cool to see the parallels. An example of how very inspired the 60's by it was, you'll find quite a bit of pictures from that decade hiding in the authentic 20's pictures on Pinterest especially.
angela: makes a coat without a mockup
me: bold
You see this is the type of pattern I'd love them to re-issue not yet another identical 50s dress.
Thank you.
There are companies, like Wearing History, Mrs. Depew and Lady Marlowe, that do indeed make reproductions similar to this. But also, the larger companies tend to not reproduce line for line, but adjust to a more modern block then reproduce. I actually dove into the big 4’s reproductions and why they aren’t the best.
All I can hear in my head is “kermit the coat” over and over looking at this green beauty. 🐸💚
Despite recent adversity you've still managed to make a beautiful coat. I have a love/hate with the 1920s silhouette as well, but I thought it looked great, especially with the plaid and lighter green accent wool. Also, dinosaurs.
DUDE, that collar is so DRAMATIC and AWESOME. It looks AMAZING, and you are occasionally WAY too hard on yourself. That coat is love, and I bet it's hella warm. Beautiful job!!
The color choices here are amazing oh my goodness. Adore this arsenic green and that plaiiiiiidddd!!! Ah love
I learned way back in my one sewing class, that you should cut out the lining and the top fabric, together, it s much faster and accurate, it truly is,..! Happy Holidays, Angela.
Personally I believe 1920s fashions only look really good on tall, thin people. That said, I LOVE this coat. I think it looks great for the style. Well done!
So sorry about losing your dog, I know how hard it is. I loved the coat, and the top stitching looked fine to me. Great video!
I'm not usually a 20's person either, but I LOVE this coat and you look SO good in it!!
I don't care what 'quality' your videos are. Life happens and you need to take care of you first. It's just delightful seeing your work again though. It's always a pleasure to be invited into your sewing room and watch you wrestle through the challenges, hear you reflect and evaluate, and enjoy the successes with you. I'm certainly looking forward to the further installments of Coatmas. Thank you, Angela.
The coat is beautiful and so sorry about your loss, you are such an inspiration to us all.
That wool looks amazing. And the two colours look so good together. What a lovely coat!
My grandmother was 31 in 1925, with 3 young children (my dad was 3!) and she sewed most of her family's clothing. I like to think that she would have made a coat similar to this one in an effort to he stylish and save money. Thank you for sharing. Hoping for the best for your dog in the fight against cancer. 2020 has certainly been a tough year on so many levels. Stay encouraged.
Persephone is adorable!!! I love the coat, it's beautiful!
No, shhhhh, it's really cute! The silhouette is perfect for the period!
I love that you’re bringing life to these old patterns. It would take someone with as much knowledge about sewing as you to do them justice. Only you will know the irregularities with the top stitching. No one else will even see it and if they do, they’re too close! My daughter likes to watch these videos with me, and when you showed your new dog, she said, “cute!”
The coat is stunning and looks so wonderful on you! You look so cozy!! I wear 20s stuff when i feel bloated because it just hangs from the shoulders instead of focusing on my waist lol. Its the perfect thanksgiving wear 🤣
I think the coat looks amazing on you, especially with the cloche and your green hair it is such a look! Also, I'm sure I've commented this on your videos before, but I always appreciate that you show when things aren't going well with your projects as well. You're a much more skilled seamstress than me so it makes me feel better knowing that even you will get confused by instructions or make dumb mistakes sometimes too hahaha! Also, so sorry to hear about Guin passing away & Posie's health issues. Sending love and I hope you are doing alright!
I'm seriously impressed. You did a wonderful job on the coat. I love the colors.
This is an adorable coat, and you did a lovely job constructing it! You always pick such unique, bold colors and I love it!
So glad to see you acknowledge that creators are expected (and expect themselves) to adore everything they make but as humans we can't live up to perfection. Take your time to grieve and grow, and you don't need to apologize for it!
That is a good looking coat. Its "vintage" and new at the same time. Dino christmas sweater FTW!
Love the 3 lines of top stitching. That is a fabulous coat Angela!
"i was really bitter and i basically threw this in the corner for like a week " that is so relatable lmao im glad its not just me who does that with projects
I love how you wing it when you get something wrong. It helps me to know that I don’t have to expect perfection from my own sewing. 💗💗💗
I have a picture of my grandmother wearing a similar coat she probably made herself. It was a very interesting and informative video. Love the colors.
Love your December look! The red+green of your intro outfit goes so well with the pastel blues and pinks in your room.
That plaid fabric is gorgeous! 💚 I love how bright green it is.
yay--coatmas!!!!! i never clicked on a video so fast! i love how the coat turned out, and i'm obsessed with all the greens. the hat is adorable!
Love this coat. You look great and I’m in awe of your talent!
I am so very very sorry for your loss. Little Gwen was a gentle soul and you were clearly her world, and it was lovely to see how to she was pampered in the best possible way. Gwen was born a dog, but died a princess.
It looks fantastic! I agree on 1920's fashion. If you have Wide hips and broad shoulders and you look like a block instead of an elegant waif. It fits so few body types. I love it. I would love to have seen that contrasting fabric on the hem so that the chartreuse color was through the whole garment. But there is no reason to be disappointed by the final product. It is another fantastic job!
So I'm a complete newbie when it comes to sewing, especially clothing, but listening to those instructions made my eyes go crossed 😣. It amazes me how you navigate through them.
I'm so sorry about your loss 😢
Deepest sympathies on losing your dog! My prayers will be for your new pup to make a complete recovery. You, your coat and video are all beautiful!
A black and white portrait would show you; that this is simply amazing. Start your time machine; you're dressed appropriately for shopping in downtown old Detroit . 💚💚💚💚💚💚💛💛💛💛💛
I think the coat looked very flattering on you. I really liked the style of it.
Your hair! Your makeup! Your T Rex Christmas sweater! Amazing.
I am all about the 1920s right now. I think this coat and hat look fabulous. What a great way to brighten up a drab winter day than with a splash of bright green.
My condolences about Guin and I hope new doggo gets well soon! Look after yourself, grieving a pet is rough so don't pressure yourself to feel better before you do! My husband and I grieved for six months after our 12 year old cat died and still get upset sometimes seven years later. As for the coat... It's adorable! That chartreuse wool!!! Drool! Lime green is my favourite colour and I love wool!
I am looking forward to more Coatmas videos! There is no need to apologize for your energy levels or your posting schedule. Your videos are always a treat, but your health and well being are way more important than my entertainment.
All your tallents and passion is expresses in your totorials! Very well done!
The hat was the BEST , creatively matching and pulled the 1920 look together very well!
! Thank-you for the link for obtaining a 1920's hat !
Thank-you for your passion in Vintage and sewing/tailoring !
I purchased a 1920's Flapper coat pattern of size 12 ( for my pre-teenager Granddaughter, Olivia ) and so glad for your success with a matching hat.. I will surely too.🪡🧵
Keep up the excellent work. 🎉

The topstitching was such a lovely extra detail!
Every time you do decorative topstitching on wool it looks SO incredible!!! What a great touch to thecoat
The color scheme reminds me of the froggy chair :D it's so cute!
It is the perfect silhouette for the era it is from. Those sleeves eased amazingly well.
The hat is adorable!
Sorry to hear news of your dogs 😥. You are the right person for your new dog even though she is sick because you will give her an abundance of love, care, and comfort on her last days, she will leave full of love. As for the coat, the colors are a great choice. No belt is best, the top button should be a little lower, looks too high. I enjoyed the video! 😊
It’s ok, you’re allowed to have a bad month. You don’t have to be super enthusiastic for every video. Life happens!
I actually liked this coat a lot. I’m not much into the 1920’s, as fashions seem rather shapeless. But I am learning that there were many interesting fabrics and embellishments that I was unaware of. Your wool was perfect for this project; the coat hung beautifully. The colors were well chosen, and the appliqué on the hat was perfection. 👌🏻
So many things to say, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet
1 - You do AMAZING work, and are truly inspiring -- each and every single time
2 - It's nice to see what it's really like behind the scenes sewing and putting something together, rather than all the tutorials showing perfection each time
3 - I hope you are feeling the love from everyone -- I couldn't help but feel the need to comment today. I actually searched your channel, and would you believe that under "Angela C" you are top 3?!! So cool!
4 - I'm sorry to hear that things have been rough...and praying, hoping, and wishing for the best for you
5 - That coat you made looks soo good on you, ---- you look beautiful wearing it, you are totally rocking it.
Keep on keeping on :)
Oh my gosh! you look like the McCalls paper doll in this coat, you look adorable! very cute!
Angela, I'm so sorry about your dogs! Losing a fur baby is heart-breaking. I hope your new dog recovers. Love!
I love how this turned out. Really appreciate and enjoy your process. Thank you!
Oh my, i love this, i love that you had the creativity to make it. I collect vintage patterns now because you inpired this 50+ year old to collect and sewvintage patterns with 're purposed fabric. Keep inspiring.
Love the coat and hat. The color is awesome. I’m so sorry for your loss.
The coat turned out lovely, and such a powerful colour choice!
So sorry about Gwin, and about Posey's diagnosis. Here's to all the love you will surely give her and the beautiful life she will have with you 💕💕
Oh wow! It looks amazing. I love the colours.
The fabric is beautiful and you did an amazing job-looks great! And the cloche pulls it all together. Can’t wait to see the next coat!
Love love love the colors! Adorable!!!
Glad you’re back 🥰 the coat is fab and looks so good, and I love the hat too
Love love love the fabric choices! The final coat & hat remind me of early Disney animations of dancing flowers. Bravo!
It’s just really elegant and I love the top stitching too.
I’m sorry to hear about your doggies ❤️ thinking of you 💕
The thing about being out of practice, means you are actually good enough to have been in practice. I was really sad to hear about Guinevere, my condolences. And then on top of that finding out Posie has cancer must be incredibly tough for you. She's very lucky to have you as her new mom though. Lots of love!
WOW!!! Love this! Love your color choices.
I've been looking forward to your videos 😁 glad to see again and your lovely sewing.
The sleeves 😍! Thanks for going into detail with your saga of the sleeves. I have those kinds of turbulent relationships with pattern instructions too.
I enjoyed this so much. Thanks for bringing back coatmas.
Yay coatmas!!! Please be kind to yourself. It was really cool seeing you with the other costumers on among us. I can imagine it might be nerve-wracking so I appreciate the effort. It was a buzz to see you with others that I watch.
It's so hard when our furbabies pass or are unwell. Sending you both much love and healing energy 🙏💖✨ xx
Amazing results, the colors work well together!!
Coatmas! Hooray! I love watching you make coats, thanks for sharing! 😊
lovely to have you back. Hope you are able to enjoy your Christmas.
The coat and hat look adorable!love the 1920’s style💚
So many hugs for your dog and for you! I love your videos and hope you can continue during a tough time. This one triggered a memory from many, many years ago when I convinced my mom to buy an expensive duffle coat that I would wear "for years" > the selling point. It was lined with a wool plaid that stuck to whatever I had on and would crawl up my back within minutes of wearing it. Forcing me to continually pull it back down while I had it on. Super unflattering and irritating, leaving me with coat lining anxiety, I guess.
Thank you for the blog - always interesting and informative; good luck with Puppie!
I love this idea of taking early day patterns and giving the garment they make a chance to shine. I would love to see more of these projects with vintage and antique patterns it's just so amazing seeing you sew them.
The coat turned out beautifully. I'm so sorry to hear about your dogs...it's so hard being a pet parent. Hugs to you. Never apologize for being human.
I think it looks phenomenal on you! The lines of the coat are really elegant, and the colour is so bright and fun.
Absolutely beautiful work!!! I love Petunia!
I love this coat and your dedication to your craft. Thanks for keeping it real. Please accept my condolences on the passing of your pet. I hope all goes well with your new dog and any treatment. Merry Christmas, Angela.
I love it, to my surprise! I learned a lot through your mistakes, or your detours. Thanks for leaving them in. So sorry to hear about your fur babies, it is heartbreaking. 2020 has been a really tough year.
The whole colour palette present in this video was stunning! Also fun seeing your nail colour change throughout :)
The coat looks great in your video. Just so stunningly presented!
This turned out so wonderful. I love the daring choices you make with fabrics and your green coats always turn out to be my favorite. Giiiirl you need to be less hard on your self. We are always going to be mean to our selves but you really deserve all of the praise you get and your sewing skills are hot fire.
It is just lovely and looks wonderful on you. The color is dreamy.
I love this coat! That green and plaid is wicked cool!
I am in love with your dinosaur sweater!
Love the styles and colors. Wonderful. Studying interfacing might take you to the next level.
So glad to see you, and seeing you making coats. I have a dream coat project I finally, hopefully, getting started on and seeing you also making coats are inspiring me to get on with mine! (Have not made a coat before so there are many things that are new to me.)
I love your 1920's coat, it's rather lovely! I really love how you work out a fix for pretty much any sewing problem you come across with a pattern. Somethimes when I'm sewing something which isn't going well I take inspiration from your ways of making something work... so thank you for your help & inspiration! Best wishes to you & your family for the holidays.
Beautiful coat! I enjoyed watching your process of figuring out this pattern. When I work with patterns like this with very little clear instruction, I usually pull out my vintage dressmaking books to figure out how to do it. You make it look easy!
I love this coat! So colorful and beautiful! And you nailed the 1920s silhouette - which can be tricky but adorable when done right.
I LOVE it - 1920's are my favourite fashion period and this tickles my fantasy brilliantly
very cool! to me you wear this style perfectly; the hat is great. you captured the '20s look!
This is one of my favorite things you ever made. Wonderful. And sorry about your pups!
Have a nice 3. Advent. I missed you. You are awesome. Thank you for sharing.
