The little nick gives a great opportunity to put on a tiny applique spider.
Or a 🦇 bat. 🎃😀
Hahahah! Indeed!
I actually did this project exactly a year ago as a birthday gift for a close friend (that I'd watched Our Flag Means Death with). His favorite color is pink so I made it out of 100% cotton pink fabric and a pink and purple butterfly print. I drafted my own pattern from his measurements after looking at online examples. I'd stumbled on the B&T video and decided to go with their method of construction (machine sewn on my surger). When I got to the "turning portion," it was mind bending, and I think I watched that portion of the video something like 6 times as I was going through the steps. I do feel like it saved me a lot of effort in the long run, but wow - it's hard to keep track of the steps when you are used to modern "bagging" techniques!
I used that same pattern again later, as he'd commissioned me to make another robe for him to wear to the Mexico City PRIDE parade, out of an embroidered floral net material. I only used a single layer of the fabric (unlined) and used bias binding tape on the outer edges to finish and stabilize it. This also came out great and the love the way this pattern hangs.
I have yet to make one for myself... but I have plans to!
I'm in the midst of Halloween costume making. My son wanted to be a Jedi and he decided we should all be Jedi. His costume is done, I'm struggling with motivation to get mine and my husband's done, but I'm cautiously optimistic!
You can totally do it!❤❤
Every robe I have ever purchased has left me just a bit disappointed. My mom made one for me in 1970 that I loved and wore until I wore it out. It was perfection. I made one in 1980 that was almost perfectly satisfying. You have inspired me to make one again. I love yours. It is just what a robe should be. Robe/wrapper/whatever! Thanks.
I love the swishy sound of silk on silk. There’s nothing quite like it!
Agreed!
Yes!!
That lining method actually seems super cool, I want to try that at some point.
It worked really well!!
I love it. The color is to die for. Very elegant. I hope you have a wonderful trip.
I don't know where the little snip in the fabric ended up on the garment but it can be a fun excuse for a bit of embroidery. A small feather 🪶, butterfly 🦋 or bumblebee can be a cute cover for a little fabric oops. I've even done it over a stain that refused to budge. 😊
I hope you have a great time seeing P!nk !! I love her and am totally jealous except I'd die in a crowd. I'll live vicariously through you 😊
Good idea to create a small decorative accent to cover the snip.
Great way to build up your sewjo! I’m starting a tablecloth with some Kaffe.
Sounds great!
I am now addicted to Jane's Journey. Not a plug, just an admssion.
• My heart felt for ya about that tiny hole cut into the copper, but agree it will likely be unnoticeable.
Regarding your questions at the end:
• I’m currently making a vegetarian potato and corn chowder (and missing adding ham or sausage -so M can eat it.
• This month, we’re mostly watching a movie from our giant list of Halloween movies. Last night, M & I watched Dr. Dream (The Shinning’s sequel). Also, Loki and The Golden Bachelor and Survivor…
• I mostly listen to scary/spooky/paranormal story compilations, such as those from Mr. Ballen.
• I’m mostly reading my iNews feed and am still deciding what new book to read. Prolly gonna me a period haunted murder mystery something. 😉
Lastly, hope you have a great time at Pink!! 💚
That shot copper and black looked great together.
I hope these 'quickie' projects are serving as a 'pick-me-up' for you.
My foster fail cat has left little holes in the shoulder areas of many of my shirts. I watched a few vids on how to repair them. Yeah.... I noped out of that reeeeeal quick, lol. It is what it is.
Looks great! I love those tricky techniques. My grandmother used to tell me how she never had a sewing machine and did all her mending by hand. She would say how a stitch in time meant less work later. She always checked her kids clothing when she washed them,also by hand. She used to say “wash you smalls in the sink at night and they will be ready to wear again the next day. She had lots of those sneaky tricks that blow your mind because you never would have thought of doing it that way. Now I know a good way to make any kind of robe or dressing gown so everything is enclosed on the inside.
I wash a lot of my lingerie at home, strung a line across my shower & a fan overnight. They definitely seem to last longer this way !
What a cute dressing gown, and colors look great on you. Can’t wait to see the finished ball gown. Have fun!
Thank you! 😊
If the sewists of yore had the tech of today you can bet theyd take advantage of it
Heck yeah they would!
turning things for bag lining always seems like magic to me. I envy the mind of the people that came up with how to turn things this way. My brain hurts trying to comprehend XD
mental blocks are different for everyone. nothing wrong with a cut and paste, just follow the directions, kind of project. i get that way with my cooking.
i don't personally know anyone does historical costuming, in fact most of the sewing in my community is quilts, so i never feel bad about using my machine. i'm a beginner who is teaching herself and some of the hand stitches just don't make sense to me.
I start working for the first time in 10 years in 2 weeks 😳
So I'm frantically sewing bat wings and letting out 18th century breeches for kids' Halloween costume.
And also working on work clothes... and knitting a sweater... and trying to clean my house.
Audiobooks wise... I'm doing a comfort reread of Ken Follett's Kingsbridge series and the Century Trilogy.
Simple easy, I like it. extravagant use of fabric. I have been learning stitches, patches and darning my older gear but a proper hand stitch for knit fabrics as I'm making a long t-shirt towel/turban for wash days because I have no sewjo. and do not have the energy to drag out a zig zag machine.
In the next month I'll be making a carriage driving apron for Montpelier Hunt Cup races to keep my legs warm while driving a golf cart full of Jockeys and a lap quilt for an elderly neighbor
Very cool 😎
I am knitting like crazy. I have several crochet projects to start/finish. Then I bite the bullet and warp my loom for the first time. In my spare time, I am putting my craft room (formerly junk room) together.
Commenting for the algorithm. It’s cool and rainy in Oaxaca, I’m binge watching the six seasons of Northern Exposure. Hope you all are doing well!
Oooo Northern Exposure! I loved that show!
i'm cross stitching little mini Christmas ornaments and fridge magnets, because they are as close to instant gratification as cross stitch can get.
Wow, that weird turn worked!
1) Even though I've been knitting for 20(!!!) years now, sometimes I let Jesus take the wheel and I will knit a plain sweater from someone else's pattern because my brain doesn't always want to work.
2) Piecing is historically accurate.
3) I love how the dressing gown turned out and it really suits you.
3) My flu and C-19 jabs are kicking my arse right now so I'm on a go-slow with my crafting. Interview with a Vampire is available on the iPlayer so I'm going to treat myself to that this weekend.
Painting my house ! Reading 1984., packing as we are moving. Glad you are back.
I am still watching The Prethericks convent kitchen floor go down. I am still watching Yanxi Palace, learning Chinese is coming along. I need to be sewing though.
I love this robe! A double-sided sash ought to cover every eventuality! I REALLY hope you'll share pictures from the underwear event!
In London today learning how to use the embroidery unit on my new Bernina
She's GORGEOUS! definitely need to make myself a dressing gown. I have one sad flannel robe for winter that i didn’t even finish the seams on. Also it has raglan sleeves and I hate them 😂 Absolutely nothing wrong wrong with being gentle on yourself when you need to. I'm being extra compassionate with myself because we had to do a hard thing today and it's going to take me a while to process...
Yes, I understand about brain function being off. The carbon monoxide leak from the water heater affected mine, but I increased my Benfotiamine vitamin B1 and feel better. I started taking Benfotiamine after being prescribed Metformin which causes subclinical Thiamine deficiency. So Thiamine Benfotiamine has helped my blood glucose control and my brain fog. I don't take antidiabetic meds anymore. I also have Celiac disease which lots if diabetics have concurrently. Up to 90 percent of diabetics have thiamine deficiency and doctors aren't aware. Benfotiamine and Allithiamine have helped me. Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs have explained subclinical Thiamine deficiency in their book. Hope you feel better, too.
So simple yet elegant! As for the little nick in the fabric, a great opportunity to make a surprise feature. How about an embroidered butterfly/dragonfly/frog/bee? Yes! bee it should bee! Thanks for sharing.
Hope you had a great time seeing Pink. I know I did when I saw her last Saturday. 🎉
Now that the rush is over, may I suggest that a teeny little embroidered or applique bat or black cat would be the perfect patch over that snip?
Love the coppery colour! Glad to see you're back to sewing and being kind to yourself by not being overly hard on yourself. Do you feel you have your sew-jo back?
I love the shotz orange and green. It gives a nice dimension to the wrapper.
Thank you!
Spooky Season is here! Nice to see the celebrations start early!
This turned out so beautiful! I want one now. But first I have to finish sewing 5 costumes for Mary Poppins and my four kids’ Halloween costumes…and my kids are all being Zelda: BOTW characters and they look amazing, we’ve decided we need to go to a con to show them off (especially since they have helped making them).
Also happily back with the pirate crew of the Revenge, and thinking I need a dressing gown like the one Ed wears in season 1 ❤
PBS had a three part documentary of Frida Kahlo . It's a interesting insight of a artist. Who lived her live without apology. That's what I've been watching lately . As a artistic person I recommend it . 🎨
Am just making my first corset while I wait for some velvet in a parrotty pattern for a OFMD wrapper, and am listening, for the second time in a week(!), to the latest Richard Osman book, The Last Devil to Die, in the Thursday Murder Club series. AWESOME BOOK, awesome series.
What the sh!@#!!t? What sorcery is that?? Turned out fantastic, and I love the pumpkin color. Very seasonal!!
For the very first time ever, you and I were working on the same thing! I am making mine out of a beautiful medium weight blue linen, and I had decided to make it a summer robe and not line it. But I wanted a super fancy version made of silk. Now I have a great reference for when I line it!
It looks fantastic on you. I'm really glad you are back. Self care is super important, and taking time for yourself is as well. Take good care.
I'm watching Physical (mostly because I miss GLOW) and knitting a long sleeved shirt
I've been wanting to make myself something like this for ages. I think even my sewing skills could make this - thanks.
I love the Halloween turn on this wrapping gown. I might give making this a go, after I find suitably wacky fabric. Maybe I'll try another shirt first.
I enjoyed Loki and new episodes of Great British Bake Off, and am looking at new comics to read. Good to see you, as always!
Wow, what amazing witchy magic turning fabric into a dressing gown! It hurt my brain, but it looks oh so wonderful!
This flip trick is like a very cool topology problem, or one of those metal puzzles with multiple things linked together. That would be a pretty cool crossover video, I wonder if any of the math RUclipsrs I follow would be interested...just going to send this video to some people.
It's okay to off load brain function to a pattern, especially when you're working on getting a lot done and getting your brain behaving again. Never feel bad for it.
Also, have fun! (or I hope you had fun, whichever is correct).
I'm reading The First Bright Thing and it's very good. I got it at the library but I added it to my wishlist to get a physical copy even though I'm only about 1/5th in. It's about a fantastical circus traveling the US in the mid-1920s and also the Great War era in NYC and how the lives of people were changed by something that became known as 'spark' affected them and how 2 people in particular seem to be at the nexus of the matter...and also about trying to stop another great war. Very good. Tomorrow, I shall read more ^^ (reading physical books is quite a bit more taxing on body energy than audio books [same for ebooks, too, which is weird, or maybe it makes sense, not sure] so it takes a lot longer to do so, so the books have to be really catching).
I have a plan that should give me me-sewing time in November. I'm hopeful for it. I am happy about the commissions I've gotten, but I want me-crafty time, y'know ;)
i am absolutely gonna check out that book! Thanks!
I have also been watching our flag means death and loki. I have been meaning to start season two of wheel of time
The costumes in wheel of time this season are so good!!
Feeling pretty bleh also currently. But I've been working my way through my sewing repairs and alterations pile and hoping to get that done soon. I haven't allowed myself to start anything new project wise as the repairs pile was massive. I do all those for my sister and her family (husband and two kids) plus my mother, my partner, and myself of course, so it piles up quickly. But getting back at diminishing that pile feels good. Though there's a few rather tricky things I've been putting off: my partner accidentally let my bunny into our closet and she ate holes in 2 of my original 1950's kilts. I've fixed holes in things before by recreating warp and weft with thread (victorian style!) but with the patterned fabric I'm a little hesitant. Though repairs are period acurate! We've been watching (the sometimes bad) 1930's-50's black and white films. Most recently 12 Angry Men 1957.
Hope you get your so-jo back!!
Oh that is excellent!! I want one now! I love that you used the pattern because now I feel like I can just do that too!! I have seen Pink in concert twice with my daughter (she skipped her senior Prom to go with her mom-she’s a very great kid!) I hope you had a great time.
ah im not the only one who rabbit holes similar videos when i'm planning a project lol
also why do i feel i would want a hood if i made this...
gorgeous wrapping gown. I did something mad when I made my husband's without any instructions. I bound the outer and inner fabrics together with bias binding tape. Worked pretty good.
I like rewatching older series so I just finished Petit Murders (the second season, set in the early 60s) which was a lot of fun. I also have tickets for the opera that I got suuuper discounted, I could never afford the actual price, and I have to finish sewing the dress I want to wear there. I'm also really scared that I get sick and have to miss the opera so I'm drinking a lot of tea and try to get all the vitamins my body needs.
I really like how your dressing gown turned out, the copper looks great against the black!
Very interesting but being very dyslexic I will stick to bag lining things.
I am about the start a project for my son-in-law, 17th century musketeer outfit for his fencing persona. I have the fabric for the shirt. My stash is mostly exotic silks which he doesn't want and I agree, it will get dirty and roughed up when fighting. My viking costume worked well and was comfortable for the event last weekend.
I am just rereading old murder mysteries. And building a shed.
You may want to take 2 sets of measurements for his fencing outfit !?
One "at rest" & two after a work out and in the most extreme body movements!
I fenced a bit, maybe a half a years worth before my wrists said, "HELL, NO!"
I found it surprising how INTENSE fencing is, and in a very short period of time, you are sweating & your muscles are "bulked out"!
Anything that might feel fine, at rest, might feel VERY restrictive once fencing !
Also, be aware if he is doing actual competition. Modern fencing competition requires wires & gizmos !
It is a sport I wish I still could do, but I couldn't even unlock my car door some nights as my wrists (ganglion in each wrist) were SO painful !
@@m.maclellan7147 thanks for the suggestions. This is not modern fencing. He has been rattan heavy combat fighter for years but due to some issues with his back he is switching to fencing with the blessings of his physiotherapist. So going from Norman to early musketeer.
I tried fencing when I was a lot younger but my wrists weren't up to it and the fencing mask made feel like I wasn't on the ground. All those little squares made my eyes and brain go squirrelly.
Nicely done and thanks for sharing your sewing journey. It is nice to see what others are working on and to get ideas. It would have driven me nuts to have to piece that bottom. Sometimes it can't be helped. If all fabric could be 62" width lol.
I thought of a red velvet robe with the same pattern and a black satin lining. Some decorative stitching here and there too.
Am on a hiatus from reading right now. Nothing is interesting to me. I do some news and such but that's it. I don't feel like rereading anything either. I burned out on Pride and Prejudice variations and sequels. Oh well.
My own sewing projects are just sitting there as I've taken in mending and alteration work. Sometimes the customer has bizarre ideas about what should be done and to do it would make the garment way beyond ugly. I won't work on dirty clothes for mending and really have to put my foot down about it. The upside is that I will be able to the projects dancing in my head sooner.
Watched The Lost Boys last night and it was a nostalgia trip. I think that tonight will be a Dark Shadows marathon.
I wish that I could go see the Winchester Mystery House again but I'm 1,800 miles away.
Gonna buy this pattern. Looks like a great brain break project.
Ooo one in flannel and one in linen would be awesome! 💜
Best tape! (yes I'm watching too closely?)
Still not doing much of anything. Trying to work on me I guess I'm making headway. It's hard. Case in point it was bed time but I saw that you had a video out so like a kid I'm watching this way past my bedtime. I really need to get better at that. I'm also waiting to hear how family members are doing. It doesn't look good for two of them the third is waiting on test results. I hate waiting! All my joes have left and there's so much stuff to do!
Looks good, Noel.
Thanks!
I love the colors!!!! It looks like such a nice garment.
Thank you!
Also cram sewing for the Ball, and need to cut out my wrapper for the tea, so this was extremely well timed!
That's a sweet robe. Quite the cool turning trick. I hope you had a wonderful time at the Pink concert. I'd love to see her. Just finished watching Ahsoka and Loki is next on the agenda. Take care.
Oh my, the color of this robe looks amazing on you! You did a good job explaining the pattern, once I saw you start doing it, I understood. An interesting technique! Watching Loki, rewatching season 2 of Wheel of Time and immersed in Halloween and Fall cross stitching! Have fun at the Ball!
It looks amazing!!!!! The colors remind me of a silk kimono my grandma (or maybe great-grandma) brought back from a trip to Japan many years ago…stunning!!!
That turned out really well! I am doing all of the Burnley and Trowbridge sew alongs, but I haven't gotten to the wrapping gown yet. I have my material already, though. It's helpful to see someone go through the process in advance.
I am excited about new Our Flag Means Death, too. I think more episodes are being released today, so yay!
I didn't even know about more OFMD episodes!! Oh that makes me happy!
Glad you're getting your sew-jo back! I've been in a similar situation for months. Your wrapping gown rocks thanks for the awesome video and critical tips. 🙂
Looks like a great project for an easy win! Hope you're getting your sew-jo back. I ordered some more silk on buy-one-get-two so am slowly stashing something to use when I do finally crack and make something I can't wear everyday, I think I'm up to about 12m in several browns that are hopefully complimentary... Definitely won't be until after I've had some success with either stays or a corset. I finished my shirt except for trim (which is in the heap of sewing stuff behind me on the sofa) and got the boning into a vest that wasn't sitting right, am halfway through mending two pairs of pants then once I darn some socks I'll be making a Swiss Waist to wear to an event in early November. I'm going to try to make it reversible black and purple, maybe with piping, but we'll see what I actually find in the stash once I've done a mockup with the purple canvas I'm using. as the strength layer.
I'm not watching anything except the yootoobs these days, I can't even commit to watching a movie. Blargh. I want to re-watch the Crow since it's my favourite spooky season movie but I haven't watched it in three years. Then again, if I just play the soundtrack, it pretty much plays itself in my head.
Love it. Hopefully you’ll have some time to explores some one of the neighborhoods with Halloween decorations while you are here.
Ok. So I watched your video. Then I dutifully watched B&T's. It seemed to me that yours was the clearer one. So I just watched yours again...yes. I think your explanation of how to do the flip trick is much clearer than B &T's. What is not clear to me, however, is if you just draw the pattern on your fabric from the measurements how do you get the size for the neck/collar piece? Yours turned out beautiful, so elegant! Thanks.
Oh I just measured the back of my neck! It doesn’t need to be exact, so ballparking it is fine!
i like it! i would probably not do by hand either lol...that was a cool flip thing but did send me for brain spin. tfs:).. pink in concer...so jealous, have fun
Love this! I want to make one of these so badly. I will get to it eventually. Still walking the picket line in solidarity with SAG. Watched “The Thing About Harry” & a Norwegian TV show called “Skam.” To the end.
That turned out really nice! I love the color!
Love this and definitely have to look into putting a pin in the pattern for later! Right now I’m in the middle of pinning my ponies Halloween costume for a show next weekend. I decided he’s going to go as Zero and I’ll go as Sally. And because I’m completely insane I’ll make both costumes. Oh… and I bought the fabric today lol. Wish me luck!
Thank you for this video! I have been looking for a unstructured pattern to make a warm, probably wool, "house robe" to wear this winter. Just needs a pocket.
Nice job, love the fabric!
Thank you! 😊
Bernadette Banner dropped your name in her video, so, here I is. 😂😂😂
Hand setting the boning chanels into a fashion corset. Unfortunately, my hands are not what the used to be. I'll get it done.
Slow and steady wins the race!
I love that! It’s gorgeous!!!!!❤ love the sound of it too! That color is gorgeous in you! Funny enough I’m making 2 house coats to wear here during the winter. One is already done,but I’m definitely gonna let this inspire the next one.
love, love love, beauty job Noelle
Huzzah! Progress 😊 it looked like a fun puzzle lol. Thank you for sharing
That looks amazing! 🤩
Your videos are so calming and enjoyable to watch, thank you. I'm sorry you've been feeling off lately, I feel the same way sadly, very mentally weird and having not great days, watching videos like this are very nice to have
hope you are doing well, thinking of you. Thank you for this, I always enjoy your vlogs. You are very inspiring. Now I want a lovely wrapping gown too. Thank you again
Brilliant! Well done.
✨
So cute! Thank you.
So cool to watch this video while I am making a Toga for a client, fortunate happenstance 😂
To bad the one I’m making is just plain dark blue instead of a more inspiring color 😉
Thanks!
Awww Thank you very much 💖
What level are you at in June's journey now?
I played years ago and picked it up this year starting from scratch already at level 400. 'Been playing it a lot when I have sewing productivity block.
I know this is made and done before I see it, but when i saw your addition on the sleeve I just thought "add trim/lace (like how some Victorian skirts sometimes have a band of black velvet several inches up from the hem) but turning it under works too. Also prefer your add scrap then cut shape of pattern after.
hi noelle, still watching this vid but im totally dying...you had a glove making kit and for the life of me cant find it...i gone through videos over last 6mths but dont see a link either...do you remember? its the one where you mentioned that sewed them up before the gussets added? something like that. i would like to buy a kit. thanks
honestly i think that was from a class i took where the kit was part of the class...
👗💜
🧡🦋🌠👍🎃
Okay so I know I'm a month behind here but like. Is it laziness that had you print the pattern or is it wise use of your resources so you can spend your mental energy on other things? Don't talk down about yourself, it's usually not true.
For this particular one, it actually was laziness. It literally would have taken me less time,money, and energy to draw a curve than get that pattern printed, but I just didn’t feel like it! Usually I agree with you tho!
