Thank you for including your mistakes and how you corrected them.
You're welcome! 🙂
The forlorn cat meow at 6:50 haha
😺 He was so sad the door was closed.
I'm so glad to see that other people make mistakes. I'm desperately frustrated with sewing. It helps to know that even experienced sewists sometimes have glitches, too..
I've also made this skirt! It falls so nicely when lined! I might have to make annother someday.
Also: I love the way I can hear your smile in your voice, even when I look down at my sewing and not up at you. :)
🙂 I'm definitely going to make it again.
Jimminey Cricket is awesome!!!
Those pieces are huge!!!
It looks lovely!!!
Skipping steps makes more work.
Some days are mix up days.
I hope the stitching scars aren’t noticeable.
It’s pretty put together!!!
Yay!!! She’s done!!!
Pockets are Awesome!!! Great work!!!
Thank you so much! ♥️
I love your fabric choice, it catches the light wonderfully
Thank you! I like it too!
I'm halfway through this pattern and it's a disaster. This is a big help. Thank you!
You're welcome! Good luck!
Love the fabric and color choice. It looks really nice. I love to see these sort of costuming made. It makes me smile.
Thank you for posting this. Makes me want to get back to costuming. I had given up on making stuff for myself. You help remind me to have fun with it, not just sew for everyone else. Thanks again and good luck on your next project!
Thank you! Yes, it should be fun! Go make all the things! ♥️
Adorable! I can hardly wait for the vest!!
Thank you! ♥️
@@PocketFullofPoseys No. Thank YOU! What you do is meaningful.
That new dress form is a boon!! 👍
Definitely!
I think it’s so cool that you chose a Disney character other than a princess. Jiminy is a favorite of mine! I’d love to see an Edwardian Donald Duck, too, but I’m weird. Beautiful skirt, and can’t wait to see the rest! Be well, sweetie!
Thank you! I love Jiminy, especially "When You Wish Upon a Star".
I will not be happy until I have seen an Edwardian Donald Duck. Research commences, I will draw him somehow.
Now I need Edwardian Donald Duck!
(Hmm... wonder what an Edwardian Goofy would look like? Would he still be goofy all cleaned up?)
You made a gorgeuos skirt. You are really cute in this costume.
Thank you so much! ♥️
I love this skirt. This is the first historical dress pattern that I bought and I've just got to finish the hem now. I was amazed at the amount of material that went into the back panels - especially as I did flat line it. Luckily it was only the lining I had to piece!
It's a lovely pattern!
Yeah! I can hardly wait for part 2!
😺 Thanks!
This skirt looks so elegant. Lovely fabric choice!
Thank you!
It flows so lovely in the back. Well done. 👍😊
Thank you!
The fabric you used for this is BEAUTIFUL!!! I don't have that pattern yet, but I might have to do it next, since it looked so nice on you!
You should! Thank you!
I can not count how many times I’ve dug myself deeper into a hole just so as not to have to seam rip open a whole line of stitching only to have twice as much to undo in order to fix my mistake!
Always...
Such a gorgeous piece, im sooo excited to see the rest of the ensemble!
Thanks! I'm excited about it too!
I was debating on this pattern, but I think I will get it. You made it look so lovely! And, mistakes are not mistakes, they help you learn, and besides, it looks so very lovely on you. As someone else said, you can hear your smile in your voice. Keep moving forward! I cannot wait to see the vest!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love the shine and fit of this skirt. Great job!
I'm so glad I found your channel. I might want to make that skirt someday. I'm still very much a newbie but working on my first historical garments. You have a lovely smile by the way.
Welcome! Thank you! ♥️
Rebecca - that is a very good fit - very smooth lines, side seams sit well straight down the sides and its a well balanced skirt! Well done. Anything that has to be upsied is a mental challenge and requires skill and experience. And i love how neat the hem is! Wow. and Im jealous of the colour....not a colour we can get here in Aust really easily - just beautiful!
Thank you! I really like the color too!
I have made this one. It is one of my 2 fav patterns for elegance and comfort when wearing. I really enjoyed watching you. Thank you. I am looking forward to seeing the whole concept when you are done.
Thank you! It's coming together! My vest video will be up on Friday.
I have this same pattern, it's always nice to see someone else do it first!
🙂 It went together pretty easily.
I think I’m gonna make one of these. Though I think I’ll need to use a good deal more fabric in the back. I’ve noticed with larger people like us it takes extra fabric to make everything drape in a proportionally equivalent manner. And frankly if we’re talking about gowns or skirts to me there’s no such think as too much fabric. As long as the silhouette and drape feel “right” (balanced? Whatever? lol) that is.
Yeah, I needed more in the hip area. Should have done a mock-up, but was lazy. 😺
Pocket Full of Poseys Always do the mockuuuupppss!! Lol
They are so important! But I hate them too!! They feel counterintuitive even if they aren’t!❤️
Super cute and very flattering!
Thank you!
You are gorgeous and so talented! I really liked that you just showed your mistakes as well it makes you so relatable!
Lots of love from germany!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely love it! Well done!
Thank you! ♥️
It looks lovely, glad to see Freya in action.
She's working hard! 😺
You are so cute! I love that color taffeta!
Thank you! I really like the color too!
Well done the skirt looks great!
Love the shape! Love the fabric!!!
I can’t wait to see it finished! Such a cute idea 😊
Thank you!
It looks great! Can't wait to see the whole outfit
Thank you!
Beautiful! I love the colour!
Thank you!
I loooove this fabric!!!
I like it as well! It's a fairly cheap poly taffeta.
It's so helpful to see you make this! I am just now finishing up mine. Can't wait to see the rest of this series!
Yay! I know yours will be lovely!
So excited to see the vest!!! I love the shape, color, and texture of this skirt!!
Thanks so much!
VERY nice!
Thank you!
Ohhh the fabric looks so prettyyyy moving! Also he’s my fav! Love Pinocchio. 😊 excited to see the rest of the outfit!!
It does have a pretty sheen! Thanks!
looks great! love the color you chose! the Jiminy Cricket idea is awesome ! im so looking forward to the rest.
Thank you!
Lovely!
Thank you!
I really loved the photo's and video footage of the reveal at the end. I can tell that this skirt makes you feel beautiful! That gorgeous smile says it all!
Thank you! It's definitely a fun twirling skirt. 🙂
I came out nice! I love the fan tail!
Thank you!
It looks awesome.
Thank you!
I definitely like that pattern
I liked it too!
Good recovery. Looks fine and yes, lining would be a good addition for next time. I really like that pattern. You wear it well!
Thank you!
looks great!! Im making this pattern soon and this really helped ^^
I'm so glad! Thank you!
I love it!
Thank you!
I am watchong this on my way to my best friend, who is a MAJOR Jiminy Cricket fan. So I'll definitely make her watch this 😂
As always, love the video, and I look forward to a "when you wish upon a star" singalong (I did sing along to the last ones!) 🥰
Yay! I will be making a sing along for this one too. 🙂
❤
The sequence about the two front pieces not being seen correctly reminded me of the time I was making my candy pink dress.based from the one from the film The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. I thought I could make the skirt just by gathering it and sewing it to the bodice and not have to cut skirt panels. If I wasn't so tall it would of worked but since I was tall the dress stoped at my ankles. It's my favorite costume but when I see photos of it in full length I stil cringe. Not sure if it's because of the skirt or the ugly shoes I tried to make work with the gown.
Luckily every mistake is a learning experience, right? ♥️
@@PocketFullofPoseys very true
Great result ! I have also used this pattern before and I thought it was REALLY good (even tho I had to downsize by 2 inches the waist size haha), especially the instructions were very clear. I have never did a placket like that before and it turned out perfect tbh
Thank you! I enjoyed using this pattern too.
Fab shape on you!
Looking at that, and thinking I could make something which channels late Victorian skirts by adding extra panel(s) in the back of my favourite maxi skirt pattern (the panels are all basically the same shape, although some of the pieces cut on the fold, and some don't, the grainline falls the same way on each).
Thank you! Neat idea!
I would have absolutely made the same "Oh, I'll make a french seam of it" -mistake. Actually :D I was even thinking that at the point when you said that you sew them wrong side out: "Well, maybe she can avoid unpicking if she makes french seam of it" :D I hate unpicking.
Same. Unpicking is the worst!
I just finished the mockup of this same pattern! Starting the final one tomorrow!
I should have done a mock-up...cheers to you being a responsible sewist! I'm sure it will be beautiful!
@@PocketFullofPoseys I'm using the mockup for the petticoat. I didn't add the hook and eyes, interfacing etc etc. So I cheated a wee bit
Yes, I am watching these out of order :)
I really love the way that this drapes in the back. How do you like the new dress form. Does it match you well enough so that you can tell how the fit is? I am thinking about this dress form and my figure is a lot like yours.
Yes, the dress form is working out well! I used an old corset to cinch her down to my corseted waist measurement. The bust is not perfect, but it's close enough to get a decent fit before I fit it on myself.
Love the video! This may be really obvious to people who are more knowledgable on this, but I'm just really curious, what is the different between a Victorian fan skirt and a walking skirt?
There really isn't any difference. The Fan Skirt pattern I used had fewer gores than the walking skirt I made, but I don't know that that is true of every fan skirt pattern. The name refers to the pleats in the back, and walking skirt refers to the walking length of the skirt. So, a fan skirt can also be a walking skirt.
hello, I have a question for you: about the hem and the fantail: if one was not going to wear a bum roll, would it look OK if you hemmed it all the same length???? I was thinking I could wear this skirt as a regular "everyday skirt" , so I wouldn't wear a bun roll....
I didn't wear a bustle pad in the video. I need to make a smaller one. The back isn't a lot longer than the front, so you could probably have it the same length as the front.
I followed the link and it says the pattern is no longer available. 🙁
☹️ A lot of her pdf patterns don't seem to be available right now. The printed ones are, I think.
Is this silk?
No, it's poly taffeta.
