  • The process of making my green velvet Regency Spencer jacket. Based in the 19th century, the era of Jane Austen. I hand sewed this historical costuming jacket piece.

    Hi, first time here, really enjoyed your video.. Lots of ideas now spring to mind.. my only small comment, is the music, a little loud, i could not hear you. You have a nice clear voice..

      Thank you! And yes, I was struggling with figuring out volume of music to voice back on this video, sorry about that! I've since gotten it figured out thankfully, and I hope to keep improving my editing skills

    It's super cute! Love the green velvet, the interfacing worked so well to negate the stretch! I was gifted a bunch of panné velvet but it's not really something I wear any longer but now I think I could use it with this technique!

      @AbiSueCostumes  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you! Yeah, it really worked out, I love this jacket! The interfacing makes it easier to handle for sure

    where do you look for matching coloured gloves? what are your gloves made from?

    • @AbiSueCostumes
      @AbiSueCostumes  2 роки тому +1

      These ones are leather that I made, I bought the leather on eBay, it's lambskin. I have a video for the gloves: ua-cam.com/video/ibjYb-JnfDU/v-deo.html

    how did you avoid crushing the velvet when pressing? it doesn't look like you were using a needle board or similar

    • @AbiSueCostumes
      @AbiSueCostumes  3 роки тому +2

      I didn't use a needle board, the pile is pretty short so it doesn't bother it to press like this. I don't iron from the outside ever, I would use a press cloth for that. But really, it's stretch velvet, ironing or pressing it doesn't crush it, I've tested it before. I'm sure the heavier velvets would not be the same.

    it's interesting to see with the regency era being so heavily influenced by classical greek/roman they're also taking inspiration from italian renaissance with those sleeves

    • @AbiSueCostumes
      @AbiSueCostumes  3 роки тому +1

      Yes! There's so much inspiration from past fashion in the Regency era, I love it! I've actually started research into Italian Renaissance haha, I really want to make one of those now!
