Thank you for watching!
Dearest Bianca, I’ve seen your post on Patreon and know you driving back to a sad & difficult situation. Sending love & hugs. ♥️♥️♥️
Although i don't know rhe situation, I'm sorry to read this.
+1 same.
@@kathyjohnson2043 her cat Cleo passed while she's was on her trip.
@@waterbitten Thank you for letting us know.🕊🕊🕊
Thank you Alice ❤
The etymology of "yoke" (in several languages) means "to join". Probably mostly known (in its noun form) as the wooden bracket that connects working/draft animals - I wonder if the clothing use of yoke comes from this (as it joins other pattern pieces around the neck and shoulders) or if just takes its definition from the general "to join"?
Thanks for another great tutorial! I think I'm finally brave enough to draft my own bodice pattern.
Good on ye! May your endeavours be blessed!
It could also come from the yoke as in "a wooden crosspiece that is fastened over the necks of two animals and attached to the plough or cart that they are to pull." given that a yoke in garments is normally at the neck or top of the garment.
Thank you! and do it!!
There are also yokes that you put over your shoulders that have buckets/loads hanging off each end. They probably land right on the same spot as the shirt yoke.
So sorry, Bianca, for your loss. I know that it's not much but please know that we're thinking of you in this hardship.
The blouse turned out very pretty, hope you managed to wear it and enjoy it in your trip, and find in that some solace.
Thank you Andrea ❤
I am so sorry to hear about your cat. We have buried or cremated many of our family animal members, never easy. I trust that someone was lovingly caring for her while you were gone.
Thank you for a great vid, I enjoy them immensely.
Have a wonderful week!!
Thank you ❤ And yes my mom was with her every minute until the end while I was away.
@@TheClosetHistorian That at least was a comfort!! Very good. :+)
I'm so sorry to hear that Cleo is gone. Just know I and all your other viewers are thinking of you.
Thank you ❤
I love the dad jokes, I think bad puns are ace culture 💜
Even the Romans had puns!
This could explain a lot.
I feel the same about topstitching, I think it makes things look nice and finished
So sorry to hear about Cleo. I think they sometimes wait for their person to leave. One of my husband's cats waited until he was out of state to go. It is hard that the price we pay for loving them is usually out living them. Sending peace your way.
Thank you ❤
Are you a radio host? Your voice sounds like the most beautiful voice of a soothing midnight radio show.🥇
Thank you Franzi!
I bet you were the best dressed person on your trip!!!! And I was sorry that you didn't make it home for your fur baby!!! I know how that feels having lost five of mine since the beginning of the year. They were all the same age range. I hope you enjoyed your trip for the most part.
Thank you Sarah ❤ I'm sorry for your losses as well, I cannot imagine!
What a cute little blouse.
I'm sorry to hear what some of your viewers shared about your cat. Sending you much love and support.
Thank you ❤
A yoke is the wooden piece that goes across the shoulders of working ox or horses from which the rest of the harness connects. A yoke in a blouse also goes over the shoulders so maybe that’s where it’s from?
I lost a cat in early spring and my dog also passed away in late spring. Both were quite old but I miss them deeply. I feel for you! I hope that your trip was a good distraction.
I'm sorry for your losses, I cannot imagine losing them so close together like that ❤
The eras you've smashed together all sort of refer to each other anyway, so it works!
I really like this fabric and I think it's been perfect for the projects that you made out of it.
Thank you Rob!
That top is really nice, love the goth touches.
Thank you!
What a lovely top, the black lace really made it look special. Hope you had a safe journey home and are ready for spooky 👻 season. Best wishes xx
Thank you Heather! 🧡🎃
Love a good dad joke , no yoke : )
I like the idea of button back blouses, but I always avoided them because I'm worried that I wouldn't be able to do them up by myself. But skipping the hard-to-reach part and just having a button on the collar is a perfect solution to that! Thank you, I will have to come up with some ideas for fabric in my stash.
Top stitching and Dad jokes. Two of my all time favorites!
This top is lovely and I wish you a lovely trip as well as your cat being healthy
Her cat passed away recently, I think this video was pre-recorded.
@@maliora Oh no
Thank you Emily ❤
"spiderweb on circular yoke" well guess what's stuck in my brain now :) I have GOT to figure out this magic of darts...
Loose long light colored light wool are best in the desert for the hot sun. The hot room, short sleeves down to no sleaved loose cotton. The room with a hot man, maybe even less. Lol. I do love this top.
I'm delighted every time I see you post a video. You make gorgeous clothing and I'm so inspired by your work.
Thank you so much Grace! ❤
I like the fabric and the top is fun. I am still amazed at how you move those darts around and pull it all together :)
Thank you!
Here for the sewing dad jokes. 😂😂we will be giggling along with you! Loveee this top
Thank you Laura!
Wonderful way to use up every little bit of this lovely fabric. The little bit of black lace along the yoke is perfect.
Thinking of you, knowing you're going home to a sad situation.
Thank you Flynn ❤
your makeup looks are always so rad 😭💕 you've inspired me to wear some heavy eyeshadow inspired looks myself! thanks for the wonderful video! stay safe out there!
Thank you! My eyes are really sensitive to it now (they never used to be 😩) but I sparkle through the pain anyways 😅
This was fun to watch come together! Looking forward to October :D
Thank you Rebecca! 🧡🎃🦇
I look forward to seeing the footage from your travels. Thanks for the video.
Yes! It's god to hear I'm not the only one who thinks topstitching is a nice detail. I thought maybe I was just being lazy since it's often easier. 😄
I love the fabric! I also love the stream of consciousness way you explain your decisions. I was sorry to hear about your fur baby. It's never easy to lose them, they're such a significant part of life
Thank you Lorna ❤
First, I absolutely love this fabric and I am so glad I have a Hancock supplier now since you gave us the link. Our Florida Hancock's all closed a couple of years ago. I love this little top and I hope you had a fabulous vacation. You deserve it. I love your style. You have a great eye for design and fabric choices.
Thank you Denise!
Adorable top! I hope it’s as comfortable as it looks. Since I live on the always-hot border with Mexico, I always appreciate seeing hot-weather clothes.
Thank you! I was able to wear this in Calico and Las Vegas quite comfortably luckily ❤
The top is lovely.
Thank you Lèlani!
okay you're really starting to tempt me into using some quilting cotton again for the first time since i started sewing, such a cute top!!
edit: with your safari aesthetic I think something troop beverly hills inspired would be great for you! merging the two camps if you will.
Thank you Ryan! Wait for my safai outfit I wore to Bryce Canyon 😂
This is pretty! I love almost everything you make, but most of it I wouldn't personally wear because it's not my style, but this I would happily wear every week!
Really flattering and it fit the goth-like look you were going for. The make-up as well. Congrats!
Thank you Peggy!
your posting of this coincided with me needing something to watch while making the flats for an edwardian collection for my CAD class, so funny!
wishing you safe travels, and thanks for the great videos as always!
Thank you Lewin!
Very unique design and a great inspiration on how you can use left over fabric 😃👍
Thank you!
This is my aesthetic 100%
Even my Hawaiian shirts are either black and white or dark colours
Dark colored Hawaiian shirts so so good though ❤🖤❤
That turned out absolutely adorable 😍
Thank you!
Very nice. Thank you for sharing the process with us.
I love the style and the fabric. The colour really suits you. Happy exploring!!!! X
Thank you Frankie! ❤
The fabric is really nice, Bianca; the sort I would choose. A lovely blouse. One I will definitely try. Hope the trip went well!
Thank you!
Ohhhhh my ! I love this ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
I LOVE the fabric!💖💖💖
Thank you Joanna! Me too 😎
I love how it came out! A mix of victoriana meets prairie goth, I picture this in a ghost town where some kids end up and you're not really sure which era it is supposed to be, like Over the garden wall, but make it wild west?
Okay, my imagination took me places. Sending you all the hugs for Cleo
But...now I just want "across the rusted rails" where two sisters fall into a mile shaft or something and it's the imaginary cute but weird west ❤
I really like yoked tops like this and I hope you make more in the future because this one is really nice :)
Chef kiss, as usual. 😍💙
I agree on the top stitching too. I use a blind hem foot to guide me & make very narrow top stitches.
This top is so flattering. If I ever get through all the ideas I have for my granddaughters, I may try making one food myself.
Thank you April!
Love this, thank you so much for sharing this top pattern. Hope you had a great time on your trip and that your fur baby is doing well.
Thank you ❤
This was very interesting. Hope your trip was fun!!
Thank you Michelle!
Ooooh is a very pretty top!
I waaaaant this! I have this idea of creating a goth type wardrobe that is based on very dark brown rather than black
I think dark brown or shades of brown in general plus goth is a very good aesthetic 😍🖤
I JUST finished making the all in one bodice using your video and was wondering what I should make so thank you this is so pretty!!
If you ever decided to sell the patterns you make and use, I'm certain they would be explosively popular. :)
Thank you! 😅 If money were no object I'd do it!
I hope you have a fabulous time in the desert. I hope Shields date farm, Sunnylands garden tour, Sherman’s deli and all of the resale shops are your stop. I’m going to keep my eyes open. Maybe I’ll spot you out and about! I love your videos. You inspire me and make me feel more confident in my sewing
Thank you Barbara!
I hope you had a good time, I worry about my cats when I am gone too, so hope she greeted you back with energy.
This top is amazing! Thanks for the tip about button arrangement on the back, I love the way button back blouses look but I can't remember the last time I've been able to touch my hands together in between my shoulder blades haha.
Yes, I can't reach behind my back but I can't do buttons up anyway,😅, but the blouse is so pretty.
Thank you Shelby!
Hi Bianca!! Love how the top turned out.. Love the fabric too.. I agree with you about top stitching.. Hope you had a safe journey & back home.. Hope your as ready as I am for this spooky season….
💜💜💜🧵🧵🧵
Thank you Deana! Thank goodness it's spooky season!! 🖤🦇🎃
What a cute top!! I really love watching and hearing how you make decisions while pattern drafting. Your videos have inspired me to to fit a bodice block so that I can these drafting techniques to design exactly the clothes I want to wear! ❤
Thank you Terri! It's worth the work for sure!!
I like the fabric. It's typical for the times. You would buy what is on sale or what you could get for a bargain. Since fabric is so expensive (what the hell happened there?) You would use what you had. The style is perfect.
Thank you Elizabeth!
Holy Guacamole!! Absolutely gorgeous makeup!! 😍
Thank you Lisa!
Beautiful blouse, hope you enjoyed your holiday.💖
Thank you Lesley!
❤🧡❤
Can we dub this makeup look Zombie Chic?
I love the waistband! This is very timely as I’ve just made a blouse and am not happy with the little gap at the waist. Thx!
Love it. And love the fabric
Thank you Lauren!
I hope your trip goes well
I hope you are had a marvellous holiday!!
Your blouse is so pretty and the fabric is gorgeous
Thank you Diane!
Yet again, AWESOME eyes. You really are such a beautiful person in every sense.
Thank you Mandy! 🖤
I love the shape of this top!
Wrow love the make up!! The whole look turned out so cool :D very inspiring
Thank you!
Love this blouse.
Would love to make this for myself because I once dad a similar blouse with the yoke. But instead of buttons in the back it had a slim keyhole style neckline that tied in the front. Also was slightly gathered with elastic at the back hem.
I've been keeping this memory because I wanted to recreate it at some point before I forget altogether. I didn't have a clue about the yoke. Now I do.
I love the yolk and lace details!
Thank you Avery!
I love it! Great mashup of styles! I love a yoke.
Thank you Reina!
Love it. I think I need to make one
Do it!! ❤
Such a cute blouse ! Thank you ! 😊
Thank you! I love this one 😊
Inspiring design idea. Thanks for motivating me.
Thank you!
I can relate because I crop every top I sew. Otherwise, they're always too long and I don't need that ! I also have to lengthen the sleeves but that's another story ^^ This top is amazingly beautiful and you make it seems so easy. I have to start making my own blocks.
Thank you! It's worth the hassle to make a block because everything afterwards is so fun!! ❤
I like the fabric and the finish top.
Thank you Lettitia!
I love the fabric
Hello Bianca. As always, thank you much for sharing your knowledge with us. 🖤 Do you think this kind of bodice would work with long sleeves, or would the all in one design restrict arm movement and be unconfortable ?
If it's fitted properly there shouldn't be a problem. It's easier to fit and alter a separate sleeve, and those can be made more tight fitting than an all-in-one, but there are styles that are built as an all-in-one body and sleeves. Dolman style sleeves for instance are like that. Kimonos I think are also built like that, the entire thing built from two pieces, front and back and sewed at the shoulders, the sleeves built into the cut. And I don't know how historical it is but I've seen fantasy dresses be made from a single long piece that you fold in half then cut a head hole into, the rest of the shaping being made from the side seams and potentially a few darts. So if you want to do an all-in-one it should be fine with a bit of fiddling 👍
Thank you Odette! I have shown some long all-in-one sleeves in this dressing gown video here ua-cam.com/video/l_PhhhcLDr8/v-deo.html but I will also be doing them on a dress again soon!
I think whether topstitching makes something look homemade or well finished depends entirely on how straight and exact your top stitching is. For me, it would only look more polished if I was doing it by hand.
So pretty, have a good trip.
Thank you Shirlie!
Fabulous top.Ilove it
Love the top.
Thank you Sonja!
A yoke for people surrounds the body at the neck and shoulders.
A yoke for a working animals ( think Oxen) also surrounds the body at the neck and shoulders.
Not to be confused with Joke or poke..
I really like that blouse. It looks great on you.
Thank you Fay!
Love it!
Thank you Shannon!
As always, a great video. Does anyone know of a site that shows the making of men's period clothing? I don't think I'd look good in an Edwardian inspired top. It would most likely clash with my beard.
Take a look at Pinset Tailoring. He generally works in a period a little earlier than Bianca but tailoring is tailoring. You can also check out Nicole Rudolphs channel. She does a lot of pattern draughting and tailoring of garments (mens, womens, and mens styles for women)
@@catzkeet4860 Thank you, I'll do that.
Beautiful fabric!
Thank you Kim!
I recently bought brocade coutil and I’m making a dress form and a corset out of it. Wonderful material to work with! Here in Canada getting certain types of fabric can be really difficult and buying from the US may be cheaper but the cost of shipping is more than the items costs. But this beautiful fabric I managed to find at a place called Farthinggales in Montreal. $45/meter. Yes you heard me right lol. But it’s beautiful! I really enjoy your videos and the fact that you shaped like myself really helps. Your awesome!
Kim🇨🇦
I love the fabric, the dress, and this blouse/shirtwaist!
Thank you Kathy!
Love how this turned out can't wait to see your future projects ❤️
Also really good like these pants
And skirt lol
Thank you!
I love it!😍 it suits you 👏👏👏👏
Thank you Emma!
You're amazing! This all looks so easy and you inspire me to try changing my basic block.
Did your Calico Shirt enjoy it's ironic outing?
Thank you Kaytie! I did indeed wear the shirt to Calico, but it was a little too windy for setting up a camera well to get proper photos, I'll have a video clip though!
Wonderful as usual!
Thank you Leigh-Anne!
soooo cute. looks kinda western to me!
Thank you!
So cute!
Thank you Lynn!
