It looks wonderful! I love how peaceful your videos are! If you're looking for ideas of how to affix the eyes, all that has worked for me is putting stitches both across the inner wires of the little circles at the bottom of the eye, and, across them where each single wire curves up to form the eye itself. Even then, I don't always get it the way I wanv🙄
@@ankanyofficial I hope it works for yous I could not see well enough; do you already spread the stitches out around the tiny holes, like petals on a flower? (That can help too)
@@ankanyofficial perhaps try both putting stitches across both "middle wires"(each end of the loop), and individually, for possibly even more control. Sometimes I put two or three stitches, like crosspieces on a ladder, going up toward the center (wire bend) of the loop, leaving just enough space for the hook to get through.
@@catherinejustcatherine1778 Does it work well with only letting space for the hook? I thought about it, but was worried that I might get tangled with the hook and it gets more likely to tear thread off.
Oh good heavens, the spaghetti patterns - that's a far in the distance 'someday' project. The mock-up is perfection. You nailed the proportions. So well done. Your solution with the sleeve tuck is a very 1930's approach (gosh, those women could sew a sleeve...) - the paper patterns are something to behold. The waistband solution is lovely. The lace is amazing - I'm assuming you did one of your 'hoover up the internet and teach the skill to yourself' things to learn... (By-the-by - your sheers are amazing; great investment, start thinking in terms of who'll you be passing these onto when you hit your 90's. Also - are you studying up on filming and editing; beautiful work on this one.) For button hole openings - I've seen people place a needle perpendicular to the line they need to cut for the buttonhole. That way, if the seam ripper slips, it has something to stop it. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Once one has figured marked the one line in the spaghetti pattern one needs, it is actually not that difficult anymore. I just recommend naming the patterns extracted from it the same as in the original. Then it's easier to find again. Thank you! I really love the sleeves of the 1930s, so that's a future project. :) In this case, I had a two-day crash course by my mum, teaching me the basics of bobbin lace. But for the rest, yes, I relied on the internet and books. The sheers were a gift, so I love the idea of passing them on some day! Yes, I'm trying with each video to incorporate something I have learned along the way or via tutorials. It makes me really happy that it seems to pay off. :) I will definitely try the method with the needle the next time! Have a great day!
@@ankanyofficial Thanks so much Anakay. You have a great day too. Yes, absolutely, all your work and study are really something to behold. Well done. It's a trick they don't tell you about in middle age - deciding when and to who to pass things onto. No idea if they'll survive time, but you give the things you love a best future home you can come up with... Those sheers will, some day I have no doubt, become very, very old... Enjoy.
You're very welcome! Your kind words make me smile! It's indeed a special feeling to pass on cherished items, I will keep it in mind for the time to come and in the meantime I will take good care of them.
cutting buttonhole scares me too! What has helped me is taking an awl and poking a hole at each end of the button hole opening so there's a gap, it helps me not feel like I am about to cut the button hole threads when I am using a seam ripper.
I see how this would work. But I think I stick to the pins at the end of the buttonhole, as you have seen in my other video. Thanks for commenting over there, too. 😊
If you place a pin across the inner end of your buttonholes you remove the risk of accidentally cutting into your fabric while cutting the buttonhole open. There are few things more frustrating than ruining your garment while opening the very last buttonhole!
It looks wonderful!

I will try your recommendation for the hooks and eyes. I'm glad for any idea how to make them sit better.
@@ankanyofficial I hope it works for yous

@@catherinejustcatherine1778 Yes, or at least I try. But I haven't sewn them on the middle wires as you suggested before. Only at the outsides.

It's lovely! You look wonderful in this blouse, really looking forward flower 2
Thank you so much! Part 2 is in the making. :D
Love your work!
Thank you so much! 😊
I also love how the last mock up turned out, I would even wear this😍
I briefly thought about doing that, too. But I don't like the fabric. But it is certainly not the last time I will use this pattern.
