How cool that you received not one, but TWO different fabric parcels for your dream projects! That is so cool! I love how kind people are in this community ❤️
I’m super late to the party, but I started screaming when you lifted up the boarding suit fabric! That is my DREAM project. I can’t wait to see you make it! ✨
OMG! I can’t wait to see you make Rose’s boarding dress. That fabric is gorgeous! I’m teaching myself to knit and would like to start making vintage sweaters. That’s my goal for this year. Fingers crossed for all of us 😊
This was completely entertaining. Thank you for showing us what picked up and for persevering through filming it a second time. If you hadn't said anything we would have never known *she whispers* 😂
I'm amazed, not just by the things you make, but also by how many things you finish within a time span. I'm great at starting things and terrible at finishing them. 😅
Ugh I wanna go to the L. A. Fabric district lol I'm also super jealous of how quick you can make things. As a truck driver I'm gone for 4 weeks and then home for 1 week so it takes me all year to make one garment 😂🙃
@@LadyRebeccaFashions it's been hard finding something large enough to last 4 weeks but not so large that there isnt any room. I've supplemented sewing with cross stitching while I'm out lol
I think it's super cool that you are sewing Rose's clothes! I loved that movie and all things related. I have often wanted to buy the doll and her wardrobe of outfits, though the price can be pretty high. I sew mostly doll clothes and have almost finished two Raggedy Ann's for my grand daughters. Currently I am knitting pumpkins but sewing will most likely always be my favorite. I enjoy your enthusiastic videos and am amazed at the projects you tackle and conquer!
Crazily enough, when you mentioned an American Girl cosplay, I immediately thought of Kirsten's outfit! I couldn't believe when you said that's what you want to make! I'm excited by all your projects and SO looking forward to seeing the videos to come!
I’m so excited for the projects you have planned, especially the Titanic coat and Rose’s boarding dress 🥰🤤😍. If I was going to make a dress from that movie it would be that one. I’m also really looking forward to the two other outfits for the Victorian festival. I just finished my first corset and only my third historical garment so far. I bought the 1880s corset kit and pattern from redthreaded. It was easy enough for a novice like me to figure out. Next on the agenda is a petticoat (I’ll reference a video of yours because I bought a sheet from the thrift store). Following this will be late Victorian chemise and drawers. Still trying to figure out what the skirt and shirtwaist will look like and will throw in a bustle pad or a lobster tail depending on which direction I take. I’m creating these clothes for historical dress purposes rather than a costuming angle so am looking at practicality rather than the lovely high fashion costumes you create. You’re such an inspiration and a wonderful educator. Thanks for all you do ❤.
Good luck with your upcoming projects. I don't know how many of you are familiar with video game characters, but that purple fabric looks to be the same color as Waluigi's hat and shirt. I can imagine someone making a Waluigi-related outfit with fabric in that color.
As usual, this year's wish list is actually learning to use the sewing machine Mum gave me that is way more complicated than her one! I have made progress! I've found someone with experience teaching people to sew who said she would teach me on my machine if I bring it over to her house. Sadly, unexpected kidney surgery got in the way (my kidneys are attention ******) but once that's long gone I'll call her up and arrange an actual time to start. First project I want to do will be one of those aprons where the ties cross over the back ^.^
Woot on Titanic fabric!!! I have still been looking - glad it has been acquired. I got the turquoise HM fabric and a coordinating fabric- now I need a plan. Meanwhile finishing a fall wrap/poncho from a madras cotton from the local re-craft store. Hey its below 90F today here. Excited for cooler weather. Several great projects on your list.
I'm doing my first costume project this new year! I'm making 1840's dresses for myself and my child, a chimney sweep costume for my son, and a kilt, frock coat, and shirt for my husband. (Both kids are adult.) These are all for the Dickens Fair in San Francisco next December.
I just finished my daughter's jumper dress with the pegasus constellation. It's in memory of her father and my husband. He loved horses and has a star in the pegasus constellation
That's so awesome that you can make your dream projects. I'm currently trying to finish a completely hand sewn quilt top I had to set aside last year to make stuff for a friend. Then life got in the way. I don't have any pictures of it yet but will once I finish it.
I currently working on an 1890s historical cosplay of a character from Howls moving castle for dragoncon. After that I will work on a 1890s corset and a regency dress (ill switch between them depending on how i feel)
I just got 11 skeins of green wool yarn for 90% off at an indoor flea market. I am going to crochet a capelet (a goal project for myself); and I am currently finishing a new dark blue 1890s capelet inspired poncho. It has been a long time since I made one, and I've built my crochet skills up in the past few years.
I love buying from small business fabric/sewing stores! Joann’s and I had a spat today… we live in rural Louisiana and I drove over an hour to our nearest Joann’s and for the first time I was told that they no longer price-match their own website’s prices😢 I just don’t feel it’s fair that I should have to pay 40%-60% more because I like to go and look at and pick out my items. Most of my fabric stash is from Nature’s Fabrics, but I got a lot of my sewing supplies from Joann’s and I’m too salty to order online, because we shouldn’t have to! Rant over 😅
I'm so excited for the spooky season make! I work in a place that's crazy and touristy for Halloween. We've officially entered Septober, so I expect Halloween themed things to start showing up any day. I just won't have much time to get my own project done. Hand sewing is slow. I'll just have to enjoy yours instead!
For Sewing it's going to be a lot of basic clothes, project bags and easy stuff. For Knitting and Crochet clothes, I oringally plan to make my First Fair Isles Sweater and the Pattern I picked was harder and complex and I had never done Fair Isles either so I am going to use up some of my Fiber and make a Sweater from my current stash and the Crochet Project that I am Spinning for is Hermione's Room of Requirement Sweater that I am make from Homespun Shetland Yarn and I need the Dark Brown yet. Good News I am close on being done with my Fall Dress or at least one of them.
The red and turquoise fabrics looks stunning. They scream Christmas to me so it will be interesting to see what you make from them. If I could ad something to your maybe one day list is the American doll coat you picked up recently with the pompoms on the cords. It's so damn cute.
@@LadyRebeccaFashions no worries. I know you have a plan. Just thought I’d suggest the Pom Pom coat just in case. Or to add way way way down on the list
This makes me want to get back to a couple of projects that got derailed last year. I hope you find your blue fabric. What sort of luck can you wish upon sewing without accidentally cursing it? Whatever it is, I wish it upon you!
I have a slew of projects lined up. Number one are fantasy costumes for an event in 2 weeks on Saturday and if I have time, I want to make an 1870s day dress for that Sunday. I want it regardless, but ideally for the 17th. Then I want to make myself a new Elizabethan shift, an Elizabethan shirt for my husband. I'd like to finish his double I started before the plague. I bought fabric for a new California enaguas (petticoat). There are other things but that's enough
Currently mid strawberry regency dress project. With an adorable strawberry gingham print spencer which will be nice and fun coming into spring and hoping to wear in a few weeks when the cherry blossoms come out. Up next is my bat regency dress because I found this stunning fabric and would be nice to have something for spooky season. November-feb builds I've got Ai from oshi no ko, Elliot from stardew valley and Janet from the good place. Ai is a skirt, vest with a collar and puffy sleeves so not going to take me too long to make. Janet I just need to remake a vest as it was an abandoned 2020 project. Elliot is going to be a bigger build. But it's mainly pants, coat and a tie for him. On top of making something for a friend for the holidays. and that's assuming I don't get sidetracked making a robe when OFMD comes back because that might happen.
G'day Rebecca, I wonder, would a quilting style cotton fabric work for the blue doll's dress?, if so maybe somewhere like Jordan Fabrics in Grants Pass Oregon, might be worth a squizz? They often carry a range of americana and vintage-print style fabrics that Donna uses for some of her RUclips quilting tutorials, maybe there might be something in one of those ranges that could work, and they have online shopping...ijat... Btw, I'm "as jealous as an outhouse rat with a gold tooth" over those gorgeous silks, and at a tenner a go, they're a steal... you lucky duck, getting to go to such an Aladdin's cave of foldy yumminess...🥴 I'm really looking forward to seeing all the projects come to life ☺️ 🙃🐨🇦🇺
@@LadyRebeccaFashions oh well, it's always worth having a squizz...as my nan used to say, "the worst they can say is 'no', and you're no worse off"... plus you can file the info away for future reference...😉 🙃🐨🇦🇺
Even since you showed that orange taffeta gown with lace on your 1860's video I've been dreaming about it... I'm finishing my natural form dress and then I'm starting all the undergarments, corset and elliptical crinoline to then start working on it ❤ hopefully it will be done next year 😂😂
@@LadyRebeccaFashions yes, orange taffeta and an overdress with black lace! The one you showed was striped lace but there is another fashion plate with floral motif lace, that's my favourite... As I have the 1865 elliptical crinoline here to assemble I'm thinking of adapting it to the fashions of that era! ☺️
i am going to be starting my first garment sewing in year thats not just a "quick - no fitting or adjustments" costime. i bought the hinterlands dress pattern from sew liberated and have a great brushed flannel plaid fabric. wish me luck!
That fabric looks like such a classic staple, I am astonished not to find it. I think you have an embroidery machine? Are the motifs widely enough spaced that, when sized up to human size, you could embroider them in time on to a plain cotton? Ooooh! Paint or stencil?!
Hello Lady Rebecca. I am a huge fan of your videos and your talent is amazing. I have a question for you regarding a project of mine I am obsessed with, I love to recreate iconic movie costumes and so far I have recreated Scarlett's Burgundy velvet dress, from GWTW. Judy Garlands blue tassel dress from Meet Me In St Louis, well a very close representation of it. But my next dream project is to recreate Mary Astor's White finale dress from Meet Me In St Louis. I know the dress is made of Silk Mull and the bunches of grapes are white bridal buttons in different sizes but I am wondering if you can tell me how the grape leaves and the vines were done. Would appreciate any ideas. Again, a huge, huge fan! Thank you, John.😊
This might be too much sand for a nickle, but I thought it would not hurt to mention it. If you enlarge the motif from the American Girl fabric to the scale for a real girl, you can take it to an office supply store (I use a small independent one, so I can't vouch for the big box type) and order a rubber stamp of it. If I was doing the multicoloured motif you show, I would have one made for each colour. (Stamp the lightest color. Over stamp the other colours. Overstamp that with the darkest/outline colour. With my local store, they cannot/will not colour separate for me. I have to give over the design for each colour. These stamps are usually under $10 each. As I said, it might be way too much involvement when it is always possible that the right fabric will burst upon the scene at any moment. But, it is do-able. (I don't own a crikit or whatever machine, so this is just the way I have stamps made. Possibly someone with a 3-d printer could make it even more simply/cheaply.)
I saw a blue fabric with red and pale pink flowers that is similar to the doll's dress, but the site is in the UK. It is called Fabric Love. I don't know if that helps you or not.
It's not that unpractical to have a long coat. Mine is to ancles and never had issues. It's a oversized I think 80's try to look 40's one I think from the cut on it. Second hand find. The lining is falling apart on it so should really start cut that out and try remake the lining for it as a prodject. Also need to start my thrloskirt of wool. Going to try make a long skirt in felted wool to use as thermo skirt when live in cold sweden
i need frieds like you and melissa. i also need frieds that would woop my boody and help me get my sewing area cleaned so that i could actually do some sewing.

Whew! I am exhausted learning of all your coming projects with all the lovely fabrics. 🥴🤯 You go Girl! If anyone can, you can. Excited to watch! 😎
🖤💚congratulations on the fabric, so looking forward to the boarding dress.
I'm amazed, not just by the things you make, but also by how many things you finish within a time span. I'm great at starting things and terrible at finishing them. 😅
I try to keep myself on task, and don't tend to start a second project till I've finished the first. I think I only have maybe 3-4 UFOs?
SnappyDragon did a series recreating her great grandmother's dress and it was cotton print from a historical design.

As an amature costumer the only solution I know of is doing your own batik, which is very intensive
Looking forward to your projects!
Wow that's a list! All the fabric is so beautiful and the ideas are lovely! The seaside stripped dress is perfect for the fabric.
I just finished my daughter's jumper dress with the pegasus constellation. It's in memory of her father and my husband. He loved horses and has a star in the pegasus constellation

Oh gosh, I have no idea, but it sounds like an amazing project! I hope you're able to figure it out!
This might be too much sand for a nickle, but I thought it would not hurt to mention it. If you enlarge the motif from the American Girl fabric to the scale for a real girl, you can take it to an office supply store (I use a small independent one, so I can't vouch for the big box type) and order a rubber stamp of it. If I was doing the multicoloured motif you show, I would have one made for each colour. (Stamp the lightest color. Over stamp the other colours. Overstamp that with the darkest/outline colour.
