- An Adventure In Making an 1896 Outfit pt. 1 Underwear
I started my 1896 Project on my 1896 Sewing Machine! First step is this Pair of Victorian Combinations! (Victorian undergarments) I am absolutely in love with Combinations, they are so frilly, lacy and funky!
This month has been incredibly busy, I do however have a few projects lined up in this adventure in making an 1896 outfit, as well as this Victorian underwear I will be making a Victorian corset and i'll be making a Victorian dress. So if you enjoy historical costume making or costume history, I'd love for you to come along with me on this journey.
Combinations were a garment which combined a chemise and drawers into one. They were worn between the skin and the stays or corset for comfort, and as corsets and stays are difficult to wash. They provided the convenience of a washable layer.

Tried a slightly longer format for this one, let me know what you think!
I am so exited to make this Victorian project, the next part will be the corset!
I enjoy both long and short (sorry not helpful lol.) The lace sewing is so aesthetic, so I think this kind of project is very satisfying in long format.
@@ReinaElizondo I think i’ll aim for shorter for faster paced projects & longer for cinematicy ones ☺️☺️

"I'll burn that bridge when I get to it" is the story of my life XD
These look so good, I'm in awe of all your patient lace sewing!
It is such a mood!
Thank you! It was sooooo many tiny lil stitches!
Fjällräven bag and moomin cup? I feel so represented ❤️
You are too awesome!! Love your style and dedicated homage to this Era!
The ink really ties the seen 🥀
Your hair is perfect. Looks like Alexander of Paris has cut them
"I'll burn that bridge when I get to it. Sorry, Maggie." 😂😂😂
You've got ungodly patience, but it really makes your projects unique. Looks super cute!
Thank you, my patience sometimes waivers but the thought of cool item of clothing makes me persist 😂
'7 hours later', LOL. That was incredibly funny. Nice work. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
THE STROBES
Great video! Can't wait to see the rest
Thank you Malcolm!
My best haircuts have been after midnight with dollar tree scissors. Looks like that works for you as well!
Thanks, I might save some coins on haircuts after this😂
Very sensible to check for fit as most of us are above the average height at the time the book was published. Really good machine work, the hand cranked machines are easier to use if you are left handed.
Birdy
Thank you! I had to go back in and shorten the top after I made it as I’m actually quite short,
I can imagine controlling the fabric if you’re left Handed would be easier!
btw subs will be edited asap!!
they are now edited!
I love the little inside jokes in the close captioning!
I'm so glad I discovered your channel! More longer videos please! They're so relaxing.
Thank you! I'm aiming to make the rest of this series (corset, blouse, skirt, jacket) about the same length each!
Wow! I love your workspace, it looks so light and workable. The combinations came out beautifully, too. Can't wait to see the corset and the rest of it!
Thank you! I have taken over the living room table haha
Beautiful video and Victorian underwear Lilja! I love your Moomin mug too 😊 When I lived in Iceland, everyone had one from iittala haha. I find it very funny we both featured the Authentic Victorian Dressmaking Techniques book in our videos, what a great coincidence. P.S. The lovely comment you left on my resources video unfortunately got deleted by RUclips because of the link (even though you spaced the sections out) so I couldn't reply sadly, but I appreciate it greatly nonetheless!
Wait, you've lived in Iceland? when? I lived there too!
the Dressmaking Techniques Book is sooo helpful!
Aw at least you got to see it before it dissappered!
I did! I lived in Reykjavík from 2016, up until last year when I moved to the U.K. (2020). How about you? Talarðu íslensku?
@@VBirchwood I am half Icelandic & lived there 2016/17! We would have been there at the same time! Já ég tala íslensku! Samt er ekki nóg góð að nota henni 😂
@@LiljaHusmo Hahaha this is all so bizarre. Maybe we saw eachother on the street somewhere, and had no idea even. Hahaha æðisleg! Ég lærði íslensku og gleymdi mikið núna.
@@VBirchwood Probably! Reykjavik is a small town! Efa þú vantar einhvern tíl að tala með, er ég alltaf tíl i að spjalla!
There's just something about sewing on a machine that's over 100 years old.
Well done with all the lovely work. And good for you for experimenting with video formats. It's a good fit for you.

Thanks, Cathy! It’s really special getting to sew on it ☺️
@@LiljaHusmo I have a modern machine (mostly metal, pre-computers). And honestly I sew thinking that I'm always about to break something. Plus I'm not great with the foot control.
It's a bit hard on the arm after a while, but I much prefer the hand-crank speed.
@@stevezytveld6585 i love the hand crank, but you’re right it gets a bit tiering after a while ☺️
I like the longer format. These are very nice. I'm still not brave enough to tackle insertion lace.
Thank you, the insertion lace took sooooo long but i really love the effect 🌻
Oh they’re so pretty!! Well done!
Thank you! ☺️
Very lovely
Thank you
Thank you!
@@LiljaHusmo you are welcome.
It looks stunning! The whole videos is very beautiful. Just one thing: I would appreciate it, if you could show the combinations as a whole for one shot (standing, for example). Otherwise great work. You have gained a subscriber.
Thank you! I will try to include a full shot of it for the next step in my project ☺️
Another excellent video. I approve.
As too do I.
@@duncancanny4963 No waaaay so do I.
Thank you mr bear 🐻
Soo pretty! Great job!
Thank you!
These look so wonderful! I adore all the lace and gathers, you did a marvellous job!
Thank you!
Very cool that you got the Singer working so well for your first project with it. Looks like it runs so smoothly!
I’m so happy with it! Though sometimes the bobbin thread gets stuck & pulls the fabric
@@LiljaHusmo Oh no! The combinations still came out great though! Hopefully you can fix it somehow.
@@sws113 hopefully! Thanks ☺️
These looks beautiful!
(Ps. Thank you for the comprehensive and hilarious subs)
thank you 🥰
I love longer videos. Where did you get your thimble? The combinations are beautiful. Think you did a great job with your hair. Especially since it was 11:00 at night! Love hou!
Thank you! I think the thimble is an ergonomic Prym one, they're sold at most fabric/sewing shops 😊
" We'll burn that bridge when we get to it." Fellow PPC fan?
sorry to reply like a week later hahaha, I went off to google what PPC was haha though I couldn't find out what? "We'll burn that bridge when we get to it" I think I got from a Tumblr post about Malaphors (mixed methaphors) back in the day 😂
Can you explain why you decided not to use the combination pattern that’s given?
I wanted a more gathered top piece than the combination pattern that was in the book so it would look closer to the reference I wanted 😊
@@LiljaHusmo Thanks 😊 I’ve just finished the knickerbockers and am going to try the combinations next. I was just checking that you didn’t have any issues with the pattern shown.
@@lilymcghee8363 i didn't have any issues, but I would always double check that the waist measurement is enough as some of the patterns are youth sized 😊 the combination pattern from the book would make a lovely one-piece style combination! I might have to try it sometime to make a more everyday combination
