- Trying to make summer things even though my brain is still stuck in shiny retrofuture mode! I was exited to put this cool tropical rayon poplin fabric to use though, and this will be a great summer set for me on the hottest of days.

Thank you for watching!
I just realized what the Closet Historian reminds me of: she’s like the Bob Ross of sewing.
Instead of adding “happy little trees,” she adds “happy little darts.”
At least in my head, I will hear her say that.
Yes! This is her exactly!
OMG that's brilliant
I finally took the plunge and drafted myself a block because of your videos!Never going back to commercial patterns and totally making one of these sets in the next few weeks
aaah I always want to do that, but I am so afraid of it, because I would have to go through a lot of fitting
@@happytofu5 get yourself a sloper pattern commercially done
"my body is never very straight anyway. at all. Happy Pride month"
I was listening and was thinking you were going to say because you're so curvy. 😂 Happy Pride Month to you too!!🎉🎉
Jaiden animations released a video about aro ace, and it made me think of you. ❤
❤️❤️🌈❤️❤️🏳️🌈❤️❤️
🌺🥰💕yesss
That was a good video :)
So I watched goodfellas for the first time recently, and you are giving vague gangsters wife on vacation vibes. Exactly the same as regular vacation vibes, but with a lil bit of danger
Love this!!! So true
Thank you! Trying to figure out a dangerous edge to summer is difficult to I appreciate this 😂✨
The more kittens the merrier is the attitude I like to hear! 😁 Kittens are amazing balls of energy.
What a lovely set! Just as an aside, our four cats range in age from three to sixteen and we still always have toys all over the floor. Haven't ever convinced a kitty to pick up the toys and put them back in the baskets So before guests come over we do what we call the "Field Mice Bop" in which we scurry around the house scooping up all the mouse toys (yes, that was a reference to Little Bunny Foo Foo). They do, of course, have great fun pulling the toys back out of the baskets and strewing them about the house after guests leave . Enjoy your babies!
Thank you! All the mice and crinkle pom poms everywhere in our house now 😅✨
That would have been a rather saucy outfit back in the 40's. The kittens were quite adorable, they look like they are going to be a mischievous addition to your family. Thanks for the video.
I'm about to go under anesthesia... so knowing I have this to watch in bed later while I recover makes very happy. Looks like a gem already! Thank you, B! 🖤
Good luck, speedy recovery!
Hope you mend quickly!
Hi, sending prayers for a quick recovery, 💖
All the best, hope you get well soon!
I hope you are doing well Leah!! ❤️
This is amazing!! Reminding me of bringing home my old duo - Dad approved one new cat and two came home. Dad claimed dibs to the extra very quickly.
"in my world, the more kittens the merrier." can't agree more! we must live in the same world :D
"My body is never straight - happy Pride everyone!" Same and also ❤ 😅
your new kittens are adorable. I don;t think I could live without the company of kitty cats.
I love the story of the kittens. Long ago, my mother's dog died. A month later, my mother told me that the house was too quiet. We found a puppy that needed a home from a breeder (note I now adopt rescues only, but not then). We visited the puppy and agreed to take her. A few days, the breeder called to mention another puppy, a half-sister of the first. My mother wanted to go see her; all the way there we talked about how she shouldn't adopt 2 dogs. Well, one look at this new puppy, after she was placed in my mother's lap, Mama said, "of course, we want her". and that was that. I wish you all the best with the new babies. Wonderful!
Thank you Andrew! Got to have all the fur friends 😂❤️
I’m so sorry that you lost your kitty babies. Love never dies … Thank you for sharing such a hard part of your life.
Thank you ❤️
I recently got a new kitten too. I've always liked cats but I forgot how much. She treats everyone as her own private couch and I'm more than happy to oblige 😸
She sounds most excellent!
When I buy a new iron, my main goal is to get the longest cord. That extra foot matters when you are ironing a giant quilt top :) my favorite part of kittens is the day they get too heavy to defy gravity while running up your leg and they dig in with those kitten claws. In my experience, it was usually during shorts season :( Smashing outfit! I hope you get to wear it somewhere fun 🤞🤞🤞
LOVE is ETERNITY peeking thru the tick tick tick of passing time. and today's project- regal colors for a regal Lady!
Thank you Marcco 💜
Pipe cleaners are an excellent cat toy! I coil it around my finger so it looks like a spring and it bounces around all different ways and they love it!
I also have a cat named Sophie! I adopted her and her sister when they were a few weeks old and she would cuddle with me and lick my shirt 😻 she still does it once in a while. Cats are the best!
You were speaking about your kittens, and, your past cats, I got a little sad but my hero of cat town the cat we call Jayne was sleeping next to me. I started petting him and he became the little needy man who wanted all the pets, and wasn’t afraid to head butt me to get them. It became an impromptu cuddle time with my adult cat. Who has been feeling a little neglected since the kitten that appeared into the backyard became the 3rd cat in our house.
Beautiful set. I must rewatch because I was distracted by Jayne for more than half.
Enjoy your kitten time.
Hero of Cat-ton! Tell him hello from me ✨
Can't help but notice the sketch in the corner while you were drafting the skirt- can't wait for that video!!
Alas it was a patreon one from last month 😅
Outfit is lovely and you look great in it. I'm so happy that you have kittens. Enjoy them every second you can. My 4 are 2 years old now. I found 4 kittens abandoned in a parking lot. They were only 5 weeks old. I kept all four. They make us laugh every day and bring comfort and calm when there is upset.. You got love them.
Thank you! I wouldn't have been able to leave them behind either ❤️
this is such a cute set!
my first iron was a hand-me-down from my grandma, and it came from a time when they did not have auto shut off. boy, do i regret getting rid of that iron, and not cherishing the hassle-free time that it gave me.
Thank you!
As soon as you mentioned 'kittens'...I had to stop watching this video and went to look at the video ofthem. They are adorable and I love them. But I came right back and finished watching here. Don't know how I missed their video, but glad you shared. Hope they bring you loads of joy and kitty love, and hope to see more of them here.
PS. Maybe an embriodered kitty brooh???Pleeeeasssee😍😍😍
Thank you Andrea! 🐈🐈⬛
Kitties are joyful.
Very cute set. I'd wear that in black on black rose print in a second.
Completely understand about photos of your babies. I lost mine 7 months and 1 day apart from each other - first my kitty 4 June, 2020 and then my doggy 5 January, 2021. Absolutely destroyed me and I still cry for them. Looking at their photos is incredibly difficult and I often just can't. I can't imagine having more babies because I know I can't handle that loss again. I'm so glad you were able to take your 3 precious kitties in and love them.
You sound so contented, and that's so lovely. YAY for kittens!
It's super pretty!
As a person who never gave up crop tops, I'd throw on some jeans with that top. And the skirt would look great with a semi-sheer, plain white blouse
Thank you!
A beautiful set, love the gold and purple. I'm seriously considering bringing home a kitten without consulting the fam. Both Jonah and Pippa passed this year and Cocoa and I are lonely. The house seems so empty.
Thank you Natalie! I hope you get another fur baby to love soon!
Hearing you talk about your kitty's was so wholesome ❤️ sorry to hear about the loss of your first fur baby's. But 3 kittens, Omg you and your family will have your hands full.
I worked for a chelter for cats once and had 14 kitten to foster 😬😺 kept one and the rest got to go to lovely homes❤️😻. Loved the video! Love from the Netherlands
I'm so glad you got kittens!
I love this outfit it's very tropical and I am glad you got new kitties to cheer yourselves up
Thank you Trudi!
Love the project. So happy for you about the kittens can hear in your voice you are happier.
Excellent. And happy pride to everyone. And kittens are always the best !!!
that purple look so lovely on you... grats on another fabulous look... hugs from dallas...
Happy Pride. The new babies are adorable
Such a cute outfit 🌈 Happy Pride!
Thank you!
I don't sew...am fabric impaired... But Love watching you create such creative clothing . Enjoy your channel 💖
Thank you!
I have been enjoying the kitty spam on instagram. They all seem like sweeties and Sophie is especially pretty with her tortie coloring. I'm so happy for you!
Thank you Katherine!
Happy Pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤
You look stunning as always! 😍
Thank you Rebecca!
As always, a wonderful video about manipulating a pattern. I love how you seem nonchalant about adding to a pattern, it makes one of the most intimating aspects of pattern-making amusing. You are an inspiration!
Thank you Meaghan!
you look absolutely fabulous in that outfit.
whenever you do one of your story productions again you should include this outfit.
Fabulous, dahhhling!!! I’d totally wear this grocery shopping in the summer and well, just about everywhere!
Thank you!
I’m afraid I fell in love with the two-colored version of this top in the inspiration images...
my two month old kitten Thor sat on my keyboard and restarted your video, so i guess i'm watching it again
THAT IS SO STINKIN' CUTE!
Also, shoulder parrot kitties are best kitties.
Thank you Danielle!
Love it ! I live for 1940’s clothing styles .. do more please !
I can literally just listen to your videos all day. You have the best voice and ur such a good teacher!
Thank you!!
Happy Pride! I'm loving the baby kitty content ;-D This a a really cute set. The print is very old school 40s jungle girl.
Thank you! 💜🐈⬛🐈
You look fabulous. Lost so much weight 💯. And your designs I just ❤️!!
We had a kitten pass recently, the first my son has been old enough to consider and I was a wreck trying to discuss death in an age appropriate way while crying because I loved that little dude. I've always been surrounded by cats and it never gets any easier. We settled on snuggling the kitties who are still here when we feel sad about the one we miss, so the original love can grow and be shared.
I'm so sorry you (and your son) had to go through that, it sounds devastating ❤️
Bianca, you are so pin-up girl worthy in this! Love it!
Cathy from Alabama 🥰🥰👍👍
Love watching you cut & tape paper into submission. The results are always so beautiful.
xoxo's Sandie
Thank you Sandie!
This set is adorable. You look lovely and cool in it. I just might have to try to make me a set. I love the wrap skirt! Thank you for the kitten update. They are so cute. I'm glad they are bringing you joy!
Thank you Sherry!
I really ended up liking the tie in the back on the skirt, I think it balances the tie on the front of the top really nicely!
I love to watch you model your garments lol
I am so happy for you about these new kitties!
Hi. I really enjoy watching your videos! May you please show us how to make a 1950s swing coat next? You know, like the dramatic ones that were in Vogue? Thanks!
I'm so putting several of these on my to make list. Also, KITTENS!!!!!!!!
I've been loving your IG feed with a kitties, Xander is definitely my favorite but ofc they're all cute.
It would feel wrong to wear this in your own town....lol...definitely a vacation outfit....thanks I really love it.
Wearing the top inside out, perhaps with the sleeves cuffed so the print peaks out there and at the knot, would look great too!
im in NOCO! glad to see more seamstresses here! love your work!
Thank you!
I love love love it. I'm in the process of losing weight, soon I'll have the shape to wear it. 😁😁
So cute!!! It is an incredibly 90’s color way
Thank you Thea!
I’ve been away from UA-cam for a bit but oh gosh I miss your tutorials!! They’re so easy to follow! I hope I find the right fabric to make this before summer ends!!!
Thank you!
I could just sit and watch you sew on that antique machine. I learned to sew on my mom's 1953 Singer (it was the first gift Dad gave her after they married) and watching you brings back wonderful memories of watching her sew.
I have 6 cats. Pretty much fell into every one of them, just like your mum! Ranging in age from 2 to 18!
This sounds wonderful 😍
Looking forward to using all your tutorials on myself. Many THX
Sooo pretty! Now u need to go to Hawaii!
You look stunning in this outfit!
Thank you Christine!
I know your kitties loved you just as much as you loved them. There's nothing quite like a cats love, huh
Thank you Sam ❤️ They are the purest wonderful little beings
This outfit is so cute!
Thank you Michelle!
Can't sew a stitch but just love watching your videos!! I've been trying to jumpstart my own youtube channel, so have missed a bunch..I need to catch up!!! Much ado for your wrap outfit..it looks smashingly good on you!!!
Thank you!
Happy Pride, everyone 🤣
Gorgeous fabric
I, too, purchased a CHI iron and shortly after I started using it, it started to leak when it was sitting unused. I watched the video by Just Get It Done Quilts on "8 Ways to Prevent Water Leaking From Your Steam Iron". After following her suggestions, my iron no longer leaks! I highly suggest you watch her video when you get a chance---it has a lot of useful information in it.
Love the set, you look great in it! Loving the news about your new fur babies and looking forward to seeing them on your UA-cam channel. Thank you fot another fab video! x x x
Thank you Ann!
OMG! I just got that same iron recently. LOL this makes me really happy for some reason.
Love it! Great material choice and outfit looks lovely on you.xx
Thank you!
Looks fab, Bianca! Thanks for sharing x
Thank you Mara!
You have such a lovely voice. Love the outfit, too!
Thank you!
Oh that came out great! Love the print!
Thank you!
I'm giving this a go in the next to days, graduate school for costume design didn't teach me anything on drafting, just drawing and rendering clothing. I have the skirt done, but need to test the top. I'm quite busty, so things look wonky and less straight. But that's okay! Thank you for your instructional videos! They are so inspiring! Have blocks, WILL PATTERN!
Thank you Rhaeya!
Happy Pride 🏳🌈!! I can definitely appreciate not having a very straight body for I am the same😄
Love the way the set came out, and the pattern is gorgeous 💖
Thank you Michelle! 💜
This turned out adorable!
Thank you Monica!
I hope what you meant to say at the end was "I'll be back here with more sewing, vintage fashion, costuming, crafting and kittens real soon".
you are so glamorous and creative! i love it, i am defiantly making this a few times for the summer.
Thank you Fawn!
I love your ace eyeshadow!!! And the top and skirt set (purple and gold - as the main colours - are such a good colour pairing) but I got very excited about the eyeshadow! Happy Pride!!
love the colors and design.
love this, thank you Bianca!
Thanks Kaz!
I am so happy that you have new fur babies to play with and love on. And this outfit is darling! It looks so comfortable as well
Thank you Corey!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I like this set a lot :) looks so great on you as well. I'm feeling Inspired✨✨✨
Thank you Rosalie!
I LOVE that fabric, dark yet summery! Perfect! And the finished product is really cute...and I'm tempted to make myself one since I love the idea of bra avoidance.... Once I've dialed in my darted block that I reverse-engineered from a princess seam block thanks to watching you do it the other way :D
Thank you!
Great matching set! Love it and might sew one. So sorry about your cats 😿
Thank you Lea ❤️
So cute!
The 'not very straight' comment made me snort laugh! 😂😂 Happy Pride, Loves! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
So freaking cute!
Thank you Bailey!
I actually just picked up a tiki looking fabric set at the thrift store and I wanted to make this style. So, great timing!! Not sure if I have enough fabric to do that style skirt though. It is cute!!
Casually gorgeous xxxxxxxx
