    My name is Lucy, I'm a Dutchwoman here to offer an alternative approach to beauty.
    On this channel I do mostly hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies, tv shows or history and I regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!
    I really enjoy diving into history to find out how women went about their beauty and dressing rituals in days past. Vintage and history-themed videos are my little passion project.
    You'll find a bit of lifestyle content here as well, ranging from cozy chats over a cup of tea (my beloved Tea Time videos) to personal vlogs and home & interior videos.
    Enjoy browsing!

    What a cute cape style! I only have longer-style capes in my wardrobe, but I love the silhouette you are getting with this shorter version. Might have to add this one to my to-sew list 🙂

  • @valerie4918

    Pro tip: iron every seam after sewing it, it makes everything neat and easier to sew.
    Lots of love from Russia ❤️

    That is my dream item, always wanted to have such a thing in my wardrobe. It turned out absolutely adorable. Also, your videos are so calm. Maybe you’ll do one about how you style capelet? I’d love to see that!

    • @alexaa9453
      @alexaa9453 3 года назад +2

      Yes! When she mentioned making the collar, I thought oh jeeze, collars are ridiculously complex. She did a good job without all the extra bits used in Bernadette's video

  • @argusfleibeit1165
    @argusfleibeit1165 3 года назад

    So darned cute! And we can tell that you are not only delighted, but surprised at how much you liked the way it turned out. Being surprised that I like something I make is a familiar, if infrequent, outcome of my sewing attempts. It's like you are gingerly trying to ice skate across a pond, and amazed you got through it without falling on your behind.

  • @saramartin7368
    @saramartin7368 3 года назад +1

    This is really cuteee❤️ I actually own something like that but to stay indoors. The fabric is really soft, almost like a blanquet, and i wear it when i'm using the computer or working, because it keeps me warm and it is really comfortable. It also has a hood and looks supernice. Maybe you don't want something like that, but it's what has reminded me of 🤣

  • @shesaysdisco
    @shesaysdisco 3 года назад

    The button placement is so perfect! I can see them in the closer shots of the finished capelet, but from farther away I couldn’t even tell where they were!

  • @AshleyRJones8
    @AshleyRJones8 3 года назад

    Wow, that turned out well! I made a wool cape for my Mom for Christmas and top stitched the edges of the cape and around the collar. It really made it look much tidier, more professional, and less poofy.

  • @xelezy
    @xelezy 3 года назад +1

    This looks super adorable! One way to improve yourself would be to iron your seams with steam after every step :)

  • @BlackRavenD
    @BlackRavenD 3 года назад +1

    it looks so good! I would love to live in a cold country so I could use this kind of clothing.. If you still want to reduce a little more of the bulk, try top stiching all the edges.

  • @templarknight1119
    @templarknight1119 2 года назад

    @Loepsie
    These are great for formal/dressy events if you don't want to wear a bra or cami with your gown/cocktail dress! You can keep your chest area covered and look super classy at the same time!

    You can also add another top stitch along the edges and seams to smooth it out more

  • @planningtolive_thebestlife453
    @planningtolive_thebestlife453 3 года назад

    It’s so nice! If you ever do want it less poofy looking you could always do a quick top stitch all around it. Although it’s quite cozy🥰🥰

    Oh god! A cape/capelet is also on my project list. Luckily I don't mind having the form of a traffic cone, although I recently saw a cape with like holes for a belt under the arms/around the waist, as to give it a more fitted look? We'll see :) Thanks so much for the video!

  • @Millenialknitting
    @Millenialknitting 3 года назад +1

  • @jennifergrove2368
    @jennifergrove2368 3 года назад

    At first i thought that the pants you made and were wearing during the end was a skirt you made! That would be such a cute A line skirt idea, with the buttons on the side like that in that grey colour. I wish I were more motivated to take up sewing!!

    @alittlebitofkatie 3 года назад

    A way to help deal with the "ploofy"ness is to understich the lining and undercollar. It'll help the seams lay flatter.

She just did a capelet pattern on her patreon and it was awesome, definitely a great gal to follow, if you like 50s and 60s fashion :) fun that this idea has originated in at least two different places on youtube! Capelets are coming back, I guess :D

    I've recently started sewing again after doing a bit with my great aunt as a kid (she's 90 now and an amazing seamstress who worked in a clothing factor in the 40s and 50s!). I have the WORST spatial awareness when it comes to patterns and how everything fits together....... Putting the sleeves in my dress today took way longer than it needed to and gave my aunt a good laugh! I just don't get it!

    @katherinemorelle7115 3 года назад

    I’m surprised you didn’t decide to join the #ADCapeCult. That cape would have definitely kept definition at the waist, without making it any shorter. Also, I just love the design, and I’d love to make one for myself. Though I’ve heard that bustier people do have to mock it up quite a bit to have it fit properly.

    • @Loepsie
      @Loepsie  3 года назад +2

      I considered it, but figured I probably didn't have enough fabric for that one. I'd definitely like to make it in the future!

    Would making the arm coverings longer throw off the look you were going for with the waistline?
    Great work.

    • @planningtolive_thebestlife453
      @planningtolive_thebestlife453 3 года назад +1

      I think that’s a nice idea! Even doing a high-low cape would work well in my opinion. More warmth for the arms but still showing off the waistline detail of the outfit underneath. I suppose though it would look not ideal from the back. Hmm I still think it’d be nice.

    @srslyawkward3095 3 года назад

    I love this capelet! It actually reminded me of a vintage pattern I saw on Reddit just now. The pattern is basically a circle skirt, but it is drafted in a way that has very little waist. Reddit - sewing - Interesting near-zero-waste Russian circle skirt pattern (1960): anyone made this, or able to help translate the instructions? www.reddit.com/r/sewing/comments/g2il98/interesting_nearzerowaste_russian_circle_skirt/ I don't have the body for this type of skirt any more, but it would be adorable on someone like you, and I think it would be an interesting thing to make.
