Soooo glad someone is bringing up the gatekeeping. Intentional or not, insisting on "accuracy" and downplaying someone elses methods is a clear point of privilege. And true historical accuracy wouldve been doing what you could with what you had, NOT buying 20 yards of silk and having plenty of scraps. At the end of the day, this is supposed to be for us individuals. Speaking out, watching you do this has been such a beautiful project, and I am now inspired to sew partly by hand and partly on my modern machine, a shirt very similar, since you shown it so well, and that's the point of this community. Thank you so much for being a part of bringing the community together and forward, and making it inclusive
thank you so much for taking the time to write this out ❤️ I really appreciate it
Not everything is about privilege
What a beautiful blouse, and I love that you did it by hand . I personally love hand sewing, I find it relaxing . I mostly sew by machine because there’s usually someone waiting for what I’ve made but I love any time I get to sit and stitch by hand even if it’s only a nice invisible hem. I’m inspired bythis lovely project of yours to make something for myself by hand, it looks so satisfying…thanks so much for sharing! 🥰
Love this! I think often people can forget that someone might not have the finances or might be disabled so are unable to make things historically accurate. I love hand sewing but my hands can't handle it for too long so I have to use the machine.
I'm all for sewing however you can
While sourcing one certainly isn't particularly easy or inexpensive, you can still find antique wheel or treadle sewing machines for use in crafting historically accurate garments. If you can't swing one of those, then the next best thing is to adjust the sewing machine you do have to use tighter stitches. Antique sewing machines use very fine and close stitch placement, which leads to sturdier garment construction. Many historical fabrics are also a significantly tighter and denser weave than modern versions, particularly for garments intended to be worn regularly.
Whichever crafting method works for you. As long as you're happy with the outcome then it's valid.
Love the shirt and how you talk on how not everyone can het through a project like this. I personally love sewing but half the time half way through the project i loose motivation or realise i cant get all the supplies i need and i feel seen when you talked on that.
❤️❤️
This was so lovely! The cinematography, the voiceover... and the neat little stitches were so beautiful. An excellent video-viewing experience!
thank you so much!!
Your hand sewing was on point!🔥
The ending message 💯
tysm❤️
That turned out so lovely!! I always feel more connected to a project when I have put in a fair amount of hand sewing. That is me. My sisters hate hand sewing and don’t feel the love. All are perfect views.
yes!
This is delightfully pretty & delicate!
Thank you!
Completely agreeing with your words (and yes, the realisation that someone lives in another paradigm entirely can be somewhat crushing), and I will actually also add : creativity. If we stick to what is "correct" (whatever that entails) and don't allow creative thinking into our designs, choices and solutions around the diverse questions and problems of any production of clothing (or anything really)... we kill the possibly most underlaying important thing about it : the fun. The freedom.
Aaaahhhhh, I love it! The top is gorgeous. I refuse to give up on improving my sewing so that I can possibly, one day, create vintage era clothing. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills.
What a wonderful video! I loved the narration along with the music and peaceful handsewing images...
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a beautiful blouse/shirt waist. Congratulations on creating something so beautiful.
Such a beautiful blouse/shirtwaist
Such a delightful & well made video;
full of useful information
and clear & interesting images.
I appreciate your self awareness.
Beautiful fabric, lovely outcome, stunning mindfulness. 😍
❤️❤️
The fabric choice is lovely. It almost looks like micro-pleats from a distance. Very interesting and chic.
The difference between historical costuming and historical garment recreation, as I see it, is the degree to which the creator is able or willing to embrace historical accuracy during the process of crafting the garment. If you just want to use modern methods to recreate the 'look' of historical garments, then that's costuming. If you want or are able to do the research, craft your own historically accurate patterns, and hand-sew or use antique mechanical sewing machines to craft your garments in a way that is appropriate for the period of the garment, then that is historical garment recreation. Both are valid.
Something to remember when wearing this shirtwaist is that there would have inevitably been a thin white or cream colored undergarment, similar to a camisole, worn underneath. A corset would also have likely been worn overtop of this garment, with another sheer undergarment layered on top before the shirtwaist was worn, in order to thoroughly obfuscate any possibility of seeing the wearer's body through the sheer shirtwaist. If you want to skip all of these steps and just wear it without those undergarments, then the easiest solution is to just line it with an extremely thin lining fabric, preferably silk. Just fell it down along the existing seams and it'll make it sufficiently opaque while still maintaining the airy look of the outer fabric through the shadowing effect of the two layered together.
new style of video what do you think?
I liked it, had a more serious tone, personally i would have enjoyed a few lighter moment if that make sense
something to break up the serious stuff a little, yeah that makes sense
This was absolutely stunning!! Your video is beautiful as it is thank you for speaking out against gatekeeping.
Loving this, but whatever works for you we're happy to see
A beautiful blouse and a beautiful message. Thank you.
Thank you! 😊
This shirt is a dream! 😍 I wish I could do something like that. And at the end with the whole outfit and your hair giving it a modern twist, it was just 👌😍💚
❤️❤️
There is something about your videos that one of my cats is really attracted to, and he makes watching you VERY HARD! I love this little shirtwaist! I came out very nice (I think . . . from what I could see around my cat!)
wow! I didn't know I had a feline fan❤️
Handsewing!!! I love it!
thanks!
This was such a lovely video and just the inspiration I need to start making the blouse I've had planned for weeks now! I truly loved the dancing at the end of the video. A great example of the fun and freedom and expression one can have by pursuing these kinds of projects. Thank you so much for sharing! (I know I'm a year late to this video but, hey, better late than never!)
Damn, I thought this video would have hundreds of thousands of views, but no. Definitely more people should be seeing this gem of a video.
thank you🙏
So beautifully done. The blouse is so beautiful
Thank you for those words, they are so true and a lovely reminder
💕
Oh this turned out so beautifully! I’m beginning my own hand sewn journey and it is partly from not being able to afford a sewing machine, and the other because I have the ability to. I can take the time and hand functions to create items and I know it will last far longer than the fast fashion clothes that are so prevalent in Chile. Also… to be unique. Thank you for creating this lovely video!
Same😊
Really beautiful blouse and words :)
Thanks!
You did a really good job making this message feel really heartfelt and real. It's an important one, and this video conveyed that really beautifully. You deserve to have all the success in the world.
Also, that fabric (and the resulting blouse) is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen oh my goodness where did you get it???????
Thank you so much! I got it from that Etsy seller I told you about awhile ago
So beautiful and relaxing to watch, love how it turned out 😍💜
I'm so glad!
Very beautiful video and message, your blouse is stunning !
thank you so much!
Beautiful collar on this!
Thank you!
Oh yes beautiful flowy goodness ❤
Also not being able to afford fabrics or spend time on research is sadly very true for a lot of people (coming from a sad high-school student)
thanks! you're work is gorgeous❤️
Wow ❤ Do you have a pattern for this shirt or did you draft ist yourself? I would really like to recreate this beautiful garment.
This is the same question I had
Your video and voice over are so lovely
Absolutely beautiful
So nicely done. Good job!
And u passed your goal, amazing
I love the fabric!
me too!
I personally prefer to use modern printed cottons than anything else for blouses. I think it takes the fun of making a historically shaped garment and gives it your own personal flare
I love the fabric choice, also you look elegant.
why thank you❤️
sagekenyon3125, what kind of fabric is?... Which is its commercial name?...
@@peperodriguez2926 looks like a sheer cotton/silk crêpe. Been a while since I have seen this video.
@@sagekenyon3125 thanks
Hello Ora. I really enjoyed your video and thoughts on work and perceptions. Excellent work. Also you have the same name as my mother. I’m a fashion designer looking for his second wind and your work and words are intriguing and stimulating. Cheers!
Love you hand-sewn the shirtwaist
thanks!!
Beautifully made and well told!
This is a great vid. Thank you for it.
Your a absolute legend well done
Absolutely beautiful!
❤️
IT'S SO PRETTY 😭😍
Thank you❤️
Lovely.
Gorgeous!
I’m curious about the little iron you’re using- I don’t like having to heat my big one up for small projects and, frankly, I’m scared of burning my fingers with it when doing small stuff. This one looks like it might be a more manageable size. What do you think of it?
I love it! (If you're looking for the same one I'm pretty sure you can find it soon amazon by searching "mini iron" or something simular)
I’m curious how you patterned this. I really want to make something just like this but can’t find instructions on anything similar.
I generally do my own patterning- for this one I started with a basic block pattern of a fitted bodice with a vertical dart at the bottom going up to the bust. (The dart just becomes extra ease) for the front I moved the side seams out so they slant out to the waist (very loose fitting waist) rather than slant in for a fitted waist. And other than that I just lengthened the pattern to be about hip length. The sleeve patter is a super basic sleeve that I just kind of free drafted so I’m not much help there
Exquisite, thank you 👌💕
So beautiful! 😍
Thank you!! 😊
Perfection
❤️
Lovely Blouse!
I hope you become very successful on UA-cam
thx!
Nicely done
Thanks!
Sehr süß 🌸🌸🌸
Thanks!
Where could I find patterns like this? Do did you just come up with it?
What song is playing the background?
What pattern did you use?
Bit weird question, but is possible to use instead elastic thread to use when you don't want that thight around wrists or underneath elbows?
I've never done it but I'm sure its possible! maybe using a piece of elastic rather than elastic thread would work better but honestly I'm not sure
I’m curious: what closure did you use on the back?
two hooks and thread bars at the collar and then small sew on snaps down the back
Did you use a pattern and if what kind? ❤
I started with a basic block bodice pattern (self drafted) and then slash and spread it to allow for the gathers.
Hehehe my hand sewing is still terrible....
Sewing snobbery exists too? Great ...
Unfortunately yes
