It is most certainly NOT sad that your idea of fun is going to a museum. I just went to Ireland for a week and a half and the only thing I did was go see monasteries, medieval castles, megalithic cairns, museums, and churches. Why? Because it's more fun than going to pubs and getting drunk every night. Believe me, I've experienced the fun of drinking till you don't know where you are, and it gets old, fast. This is much more intellectually stimulating and interesting.
Agreed. I seriously judge anyone who goes somewhere and doesn't go to museums... people who go to Paris to eat macarons at laduree and go to starbucks literally disgust me.
I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. Your videos always simultaneously sooth, relax, inspire and excite me. Thank you for that.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video! You need to come to England, we have such beautiful old buildings with lots of history to them. You are such an inspiration that I have dusted off my dressmaking equipment and dived back into it. I was shopping for a pattern for a dress I want to make and came across your dress pattern. Can you imagine a 53yr young grandmother shouting out "I've watched that on UA-cam! I love her channel!" Let's just say the staff were looking at me a little weird. Well back to pinning......
it doesn't matter the content, I see one of your videos, I watch it, plain and simple
Hannah, me too!
you look so so cute in your outfit and also, stand out. standing out, without looking odd... and also how many people that do think they are standing out are just wearing what everyone else is wearing! You look well worth a second look, because of your vintage look.
I'm so glad you got to go to the Versailles exhibit at the Met. I went back in the spring and loved all of the incredible embroidery. The floral designs on the men's suits blew my mind.
I really enjoy this Vlogging format. I like the way you talk about everything that happened afterwards. It's very easy to get lost in the moment and forget to take a perspective of what is happening. I also love hearing about what you thought of everything after taking it all in
This was so dang fun! I was amazed by the exhibit. How could anyone not enjoy this? Today I was able to travel with you to destinations I might never experience. Thank you so very much. :)
Totally not sad! In fact, this made me want to go to the museum myself.
We don’t have anything as grande that’s fashion history related here in Berlin, but at least one can look at the pretty paintings, right?
Also, it’s cool in Museums, and we‘re looking at another 4 days of excruciating heat, before temperatures will finally go down some. Perfect plan!
The overall construction as well as the details of these garments is just breathtaking. I‘m glad, you showed some of it. Usually, when they show something on TV about these exhibitions, they just never show the dresses up close *facepalm*
Very nice Vlog 👍
And glad, you got such a good deal on fabrics. With the amounts you use, the cost per garment must be painful! I always take advantage of end of season sales myself - I luckily have a decent amount of storage space in my workroom.
Love your OOTD! And the added variety of your vlogging style. I think many successful channel evolve - perhaps just as much to keep the content fresh for the creator as the viewer. Keep up the hard work and thanks!
Because of this video my family and I visited the cloisters while in NYC this weekend. We all had so much fun! It was one of the best parts of the trip. Thank you so much!
Forgive me if you've done this already, but a beginner's guide to the garment district would be really nice. I've always wanted to go, but I'm very intimidated.
katieintraining she has one here: ua-cam.com/video/13kxxq7f6g4/v-deo.html
Enjoy!
Hexx What thank you so much!
It is not sad to like going to museums! I think it’s sad that any one would think that’s sad!
Thank you! I´m in Portugal so a glipse of the museum was a great treat.
I loved this! Thanks for sharing the beautiful museum footage and of course, your fun shopping trips! 🤗
Firstly, I think you need to refer to it as the "Bolt Vault" because.... that amuses me.
Secondly, you should consider making a swatch folder - taking a 2x2 swatch of all of your fabrics that haven't been assigned to a project and putting it all in a folder to take with you to the garment store. This way you can easily check a tempting fabric against what you have in your supply to see if you already have something that matches. It might save you from purchasing those "three or four other fabrics" each time.
I know I’m watching these years later but this one is so up my alley...I love museums so very much. Thank you for sharing.
So much fabric! I'm so fascinated of the quantity and diverity of fabrics there is in shops when I watch youtubers from another country. Nearly two years ago when I went to one of my local fabric shops (the biggest one) to buy some wool I had maybe six or seven different options. That's not that many if one have a very specific colour or texture in mind. (I live in a very cold country, so wool is my favourite material).
I enjoyed this type of content. Everyting vintage or historical or sewing related is enjoying to me. Especially with your comments on things. Your outfits were beautiful and I hope we will see more outfits it the fututre, because I love your style.
Love your videos!
I tend to get motion sickness from camera movements, so usually I can't watch vlogs for very long, but I really appreciated how you broke it up into segments with stationary "in studio" reflections in between, that really helped. I don't live near any major museums and would probably never have gotten to see those exhibits without your footage. Thanks for going through the awkwardness of filming in public for us ❤️
I loved this! It’s interesting to see your process in choosing fabrics and if it’s sad to find museums interesting then I must be tragic because I donate three days a week to working in the registrar's office at a local museum doing glorified data entry, and I LOVE it! Also when you said your battery was running out right before you went into the Versailles exhibit, I think I nearly had a stroke.... it was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Lol. Do more vlogs when you can... I’ll definitely be watching.
I grew up on the opposite side if NYC (Bergen County, NJ) and never took advantage of all that The City had to offer. Now that I’m 300+ miles away I miss it! Thanks for taking us along on your day in New York.
I love the print on your shirt when you're in the museum!! That's, like, my dream floral.
Angela, Don't ever think what you like is sad. I love going to museums and fabric stores. Chin up! 😊
I'd have loved more time spent on the cloister outfits. They were beautiful but I would've loved to be able to have looked at them in detail, as I live in Australia and not likely to ever see them in real life and love to look at details
I enjoy going round galleries, museums, historical buildings as you find a lot of history. History repeats itself in modern days fashion - it's good resource. So no your not sad or tragic...
I LOVE this style of content from you. Thanks so much for filming and sharing!
I took a trip to the cloisters on a similar day last summer, I was absolutely melted by the time I made it uptown and then hiked up to the museum.
I love seeing the scenery change too. I live way up north (near Saratoga & Lake George, if those are familiar to you), so taking the train down to the city we go from mountains & farms to valleys to small cities to the big city. "Or some very thin bodies" LMAO! Shame about the poor layout of the exhibit. Maybe they were hoping to squeeze more money out of people by forcing them to return multiple times to see the full thing. RIP Pigeon Fabric. I definitely see the clown noses...I can also see a dog, like a big shaggy fluffy dog wearing a clown nose. Like something out of Alice in Wonderland.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us! I will never be able to visit those places and thoroughly enjoyed your adventure.
The only thing that could have possibly made this video more fun was getting to meet your Mom! I love hearing how your parents have helped to forward all you do, like your Dad taking some of the photos of you in your dresses or building something for your sewing room!
I now would like to take you to Germany and France and take a tour of a ton of old churches and buildings. :) It's so refreshing to have someone be happy and positive about these old buildings.
When you were in the 1st museum I thought for a second of all the summers I spend in France in old church buildings. :D
I desperately wanted to make a trip to see Heavenly Bodies and Visitors to Versailles, but it never came to fruition. The Cloisters is part of The Met that I've yet to see as well. Thank you for documenting your trip. I'm an aspiring museum curator and this video is right up my alley. Your channel is wonderful; I hope to consult some of your videos in my upcoming forays into sewing. Historical costume is a great love of mine, though I've yet to try my hand at making some.
Can't even thread the sewing machine I bought but as ever I find your passion inspiring and your videos always are filled with a human warmth that makes this crusty grump smile for a change
Even your boxes and shelves are cute. Life goals.
Thanks so much for taking us on a mini tour of some of my favourite parts of NYC! The exhibitions looked amazing. And here in New Zealand we can only dream of such fabric stores!! Can't wait to see what you make from your purchases!
Thank you for sharing... I went to New York for the first time this year and it wasn't what I had hoped for due to not getting to see the things I had planned to. But watching this vlog makes me want to try visiting again but with only my mom and me, not as a big group as it was this time. Lessons learned. 🤷🏽♀️.
i really enjoyed this! i like museums they give me inspiration too, and i love watching people shop for project/art supplies gets me excited that youre excited and motivates me to work on my projects too.
Museums are not sad. They're awesome. You're awesome. Thanks for sharing! I love fabric shopping vicariously through you since the garment district is definitely not available to me!
my grandmother used to take me to those same stores. There are a lot of memories in those isles of fabric and the button stores as well.
The tapestry at 6:27 is very well known, and was the cover of my history book in elementary! Love all the Cloister surrounding with retty gardens. Nice fabric haul. The flashy green that you were given looked like raw silk.
Honestly, I loved this! And frankly museums are interesting and fun! Especially places like the Metropolitan, and The Cloisters looked amazing as well.
I LOVE the romper outfit! Looks so cute on you and this is a great trip, thanks for taking us!
Greetings from Germany!
Great blog, Angela! It was wonderful to see these exhibits through the eyes of someone who appreciates stitching details and craftsmanship. I find when I’m in a museum, looking at a painting, like you I’m zooming in on the way the lace is ruffled or how the fabric drapes. Anyway, you may already know this but Kent State University has a wonderful Fashion Museum on campus with fascinating exhibits. Right now, they have the costumes of Katherine Hepburn on display, among other things. If you find yourself in Northeast Ohio (as one does!), you must check it out!!
I wait with anticipation for a chemise tutorial. I have bought patterns and everything!!!!
Love your channel
I loved your video, thanks for sharing your trip to the cloisters and museum as well as the garment district.
Loved this video. I'm getting to it in 2021... but I loved your fabric choices. I would not have passed up those sales either. And I would think going to a museum was exciting. So would my children. So you go girl.
I saw the Heavenly Bodies exhibit around a week and a half ago...I usually take some pictures and buy a couple postcards to commemorate my visit but it's awesome to have your blog footage to remember it by too!
Tip: Take pictures of the signs (and sometimes their accompanying pictures, statues, etc. so you don’t get confused) while you’re at the museum and then read them later when you’re reviewing your pictures and video clips at home.
I usually space bag fabric that puffs out but I also do it to keep one project together and labeled with some notes of concept or direction I want to go with it that way when I come back I'll know if I want to still do that or not. It also allows the amount of fabric to be condensed in space but I have used that as an excuse to store more projects together in tubs. It's also good to have cedar with them even space bagged to prevent moths. I usually get the space bags from the dollar tree but only the med to small since the larger ones tend to fail more. I get the larger ones from walmart for fabric that really needs to be condensed and is too large. That being said there are only a couple of fabrics I'd hang especially after ironing or steaming them. I hope that helps ^.^
"She is the youtube one" 😂 loved the vlog, would love to see more in a similar style!
I love the whole stopping the video and zooming in that is going on! Let's us see it better~
Also garment district is goals!!
Really like that vlogy kind of video! Hope you'll do more in the future since you seemed to enjoy it~
THANK YOU I loved this because you have taken me to places I would never be able to visit and view for myself.
Girl, I love going to museums!! it's not sad you enjoy it
Museums are always the best, my family vacations usually include at least two or historical sites. They are in the least bit boring, it's for the refined taste of culture.
I saw the recreation of the unicorn tapestries in Scotland at Stirling Castle. I would totally go and look at the originals. Your video inspired me to check out the arts and crafts museum in my hometown Berlin. I have wanted to go for years. I love a good trip to the museum . And I even prefer going alone, because when I go with someone who is not that interested, there is always the need to hurry on.
An Angela vlog - something I knew I wanted but didn't know I needed.
I got to go to the Cloisters in May, the day of the Met Gala and I didn't know the clothes would be there either. Your video made me want to go back! I loved it!
How fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Great video. I would love to see more.
26:35 It has to be the most delicate and goregous fabric I've ever seen in my entire life!
That was so cute when they recognized you ❤️
Seeing all those greens makes me think you should do a victorian arsenic or absinthe inspired outfit! I completely understand having the need to stock up during closing sales, the fabric shop I worked in just closed down and I had to go buy more storage for my sewing room for what I bought. I would love to be close to somewhere like the garment district, seeing all those laces and silks makes me die with longing. Going to museums is not sad! What's sad is when I go around the exhibits pretending I'm shopping....
As someone who works in a museum, I think museum vlogs are super interesting!
I honestly love this style of video! If you do more, I will watch every single one of them.
I am sure I would love your garment district. We have a dirge of fabric stores here in New Zealand. Any trip that I go on overseas I head for the fabric store - much to the distress of my husband. My biggest problem is that I get totally confused the minute I walk into the store - what do I really want, what am I going to make, how much do I need - even if I have "things sorted in my mind before I head out". Love the way you confidently just BUY!!! I think I will have to adopt that philosophy next time!!
Totally absorbing with a refreshing narration style. Real and engaging that sets it apart from TV production.
Museums get us close to the era or period depicted glimpsing into what was in an intimate way.
More of these, yes when you feel it’s time. It’s best when you’re feeling the motivation rather than a blogging need.
Those fabric emporia were a treat. To have access to them relatively easily. Ours here are far apart though plentiful.
I love watching vlogs, so this was a nice surprise! I love going to museums so this made me quite jealous.
I'm also reminded of my study art history and how clothing is actually one of the areas that our teachers said that people were needed. It's so fascinating that those clothes have survived so many years.
Omg! I went to the garment district recently with my boss and we went to that store at 23:00. She got a lot of fabrics for the show we are costuming for from there! I also got some purple stretch velvet because the color was calling to me.
Really enjoyed this! Love the way you said you wouldn't buy anything 🙈 This made me want to go on a fabric buying trip to New York 😍😍
I loved this video. I feel like I went on the trip with you and shopping for fabric, whats not to love? I had so much fun! Its like I left the house too :)
I would love to see you make a Giselle from enchanted inspired dress. I know it would look amazing, you never disappoint!❤️
Those dresses at the exhibition were so stunning, I swear I forgot to breathe for a while
I've always loved the unicorn tapestries
Angela, thank you for blogging this! I live in AZ after living in NJ for many years. I love seeing the museum and fabric shopping.
I loved this! It was so fun to see the city!
I love your sense of humor! It pops out at the most random times, and makes me spit out my coffee! "You could fit some dresses...or some very thin bodies" 🤣🤣🤣
Haya. Lovely video. Brought back memories of when I used to live there. . . . a bunch of years ago now. Wow! look how much fabric there was. Lovely looking around the museum. Thanku for sharing. X
Loved the Versailles exhibit and wish I could have seen it. I wish there would have been more of it to see. Nice vlog ;)
Thank you for sharing with us your visit to NY. The garments were beautiful. I love seeing you also visit the garment district. Your picks are very nice and will make many great projects.
@9:00 You would like the Hurst Castle in California. Mr. Hurst made a giant mansion of old European architecture & art. You name it he had it.
I really enjoyed this video...I am looking forward to more like this. We have a very similar appreciation for art and fashion throughout the ages....(by the way,I am also from New York).🙂
Wow. Loved this video. You should do more vlogs.
I loved loved loved your video. Wow was all I could say during the first part at the museum. I love going to museums and fabric stores but I can't anymore since I damaged my knee, so It was really nice that you videoed what you got to do. I really liked seeing the skyline of New York and the architecture of the subway. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Your video was so much fun to watch and very informative. I'm a museum lover too and there's nothing bad about that! :) I think I heard you live on Long Island and I'm a Long Island girl too and love to go shopping in the garment district. One of my favorite stores is AK fabrics. Most things seem to be $8 a yard! It's on 39th as well, not far from Hamed, so maybe you'll want to give it a try if you haven't already.
Keep making these wonderful videos - they are inspiring. I may even try one of the vintage pattens I have due to your inspiration.
I loved this video Angela!!! Please do more like it!
Some of the Versailles exhibit outfits are in one of my fashion reference books. Nice to see video of them. Maybe one day I can see them in real life as well. Thanks for the video.
Great vlog Angela! Plus your outfits were so cute! Just wanted to share an organizational tip for fabric storage that has helped me. I trim a swatch from my fabrics and pin into a 5x8 binder, noting the yardage/remnant size and fibre content. It is sectioned by fabric type. My fabric inventory binder makes keeping track of what I have so easy, I don't have to rummage through drawers and bins each time I'm starting a project. It's small enough to take the whole thing with me shopping or just pull out the swatch(s) if I need to match. It's also great to look through if I need inspiration for a new project. If I use up all or just a bit, I will update new yardage or move the swatch to the back under the archive section if I've used it all up.
I love going to museums, so this was great
Ive been planning on making a Robe a la francaise and i like that you got a shot of one at the museum.
This was so fun to watch!! I loved getting to see your process of picking out fabric since that is half the fun when starting a new project- at least that is for me ☺️ I can’t wait for more of these! Excellent video thank you for posting!! ♥️♥️♥️
Something that I thought interesting was....when I use to watch (Martha Pullman) Martha’s sewing room tv show, at the end of each show she would tell, and also show, an an Heirloom garment that he and her husband Joe would find at 5a.m. In clothing districts in England. She would tell a story of the buttons, or the hem, or the pleats and tell you what they mean. Many people would send her priceless old clothing and she would put it in her museum. I don’t know where that is, but I think you would find that really interesting!❤️
I miss your fabric haul! This video was nice, but I want more :D you should do more videos in the fabric shops !
Renessance was at the late 14th century but actually 15th and 16th century....really cool vlog...go on like that...i love you're videos.
I totally understand what you mean about buying fabrics you don't have an immediate need for. I am a quilter and my fabric stash is out of control!
Hahaha, I actually love going to museums, so I don't know about others, but I had fun.
That was some amazing lace. Loved the spree :-)
I love the new videos you're uploading, and this was very exciting and interesting to watch! I loved the vlog style mixed with the fabric haul, so thanks for sharing this and keep 'em coming!
Loved this!!! I'm looking forward to more videos in this format :D
Thank you for sharing your journey ☺️
If you’re in a park, you can take as many photos you want in NYC, it’s public property. Enjoy the photo shoot!
Those sparkling netting reminds me of the regency period over skirt to the muslin dressing for evening wear.
