I have been buying napkins for drawn thread work, but there are so many pretty ones I don't pick up because I wasn't sure what to do with them, now I know. Thank you!
OMGoodness Bryce! Your petticoat turned out so beautiful. It's amazing how you took vintage linens and made them into this pretty garment. You are so talented. Blessings and take care. Mary
I started watching sewing videos to motivate myself to return to making clothes and your channel both inspires and warms my heart. The little snippets of your children bring back so many happy sewing memories of my own little ones ... especially those little fingers sneaking slowly towards the pins.
Such a lovely idea for upcycling vintage nappins. Just love the result. So feminine and delicate but so strurdy in the making. Love the machine also. Thank you for sharing.
This is a great video! I'm glad I found your comment in (I think?) Morgan Donner's comment section, I loved your pin cushion idea and I had great hope you would post more videos, I'm pleased to see that on top of posting again you improved so much in video making! Can't wait for the next one!
This is beautiful. And it's so nice to find someone who shares my interest in vintage clothing and incorporating beautiful things into real life in this plastic, disposable world.
Very nice. Love me a good up cycling video. I, too, have many black Singers and was curious as to whether you are not taking the thread from the tension spring under the "finger" for a reason? Your stitches obviously look fine, and you've been using it for many years, so I assume you are aware of how to thread it, but your tension spring is not engaging, which could cause all sorts of issues with thread tension. This is, by no means, a criticism. These machines can be quirky, which is half the fun, and the particular eccentricities of one copy over another are of interest to me. Sometimes a machine I'm servicing will only want to work if one thing or another is just so, even if it is not the "right" way. Anyway, if you, or anyone reading this is having tension issues with their Singer 99 or 66 sewing machine and you are not threading the machine in the manner described above, this could very well be your issue. Edit: Just saw another video in which it was taken under the "finger", so IGNORE ME!
Yeah, so, the “finger” is called the thread regulator in the manual, which describes threading it this way. The take-up spring broke off some time before it belonged to me, which may be why it looks “not right,” but I haven’t had any issues with how it’s sews, so I’ve never looked into aftermarket parts or trying to replace it. Great little machine. I have a few other Singers, but this is the one that I use the most. 😊
@@BryceHistorically Heh, indeed it is called the thread regulator, but I did not want to be THAT know it all about it and thought "finger" was funnier. Plus, I really see comments as something more for the algorithm and others who read them than for the content creators themselves. Like, after a certain point, ya just can't read them all. That said, it's always nice to hear back from you! Tension springs are only like $3.00, give or take, and are a breeze to replace. But, like you said, if it works the way it is, why bother? Anyway, your vids are lovely and I am always so jazzed to see people actually using these old beasts for their intended purpose and not just for decoration.
Just found your channel-what a treat!! Well made, lovely videos. And chock full of valuable info!! I have my grandmother’s tatting spool. I’m going to try it. Looking forward to more.
You know, I’m not sure what this one was. The process of threading ribbon into lace is called “beading,” so if you search for “beading lace” you should be able to find it. 😊
Beautifully done. Love your projects..

Brilliant!
Wow this is gorgeous! Inspiring me! Thanks for showing the three ways to do lace insertion, that was super helpful to see
Lovely! I have a stack of vintage linens from my mother's wedding and have been wondering what to do with them.

Skirt is stunning and you have taught me something so inspiring
What a lovely idea. 💕

This petticoat is so beautiful, I would make a slip to wear underneath it and use it as a lovely skirt. Thank you for sharing.
❤️So Lovely Thank You❤️

Stephanie Morey Thank you. 😊 Yes, there are so many beautiful things out there. It would be a shame not to enjoy and appreciate them.
And there are so many more people in YT who Love historical fashion / costuming.
It turned out really pretty! And I totally agree with you on the hand sewing. One appreciates the project so much more in the process of making it.
T.H. Andersdotter Absolutely. So many tiny details that you end up missing otherwise. 😊
Such a lovely video! I especially love those adorable bunnies 🙂

Thanks for sharing. Your vids are inspirational.
This turned out gorgeously! I love the etherealness of the petticoat!

Janeil Glazier Thank you so much. How great to have tatting heirlooms from you grandmother! Things like that add so much to an experience. 😊
Very pretty.
Thank you! 😊
Can’t believe I just found your wonderful channel, everything is so beautiful here :)
Bunny pattern weights!! 😭💕
Thanks 😁
I'm so doing this!
I love this i will have to adapt it to make a skirt! do you have/know a pattern for the lace you ran the ribbon through?

Ah! .....#Historybounding indeed!
