Absolutely lovely, i feel like many of these wild historical styles lend themselves well to improvised altercations as they have so much already going on, adding anything more on looks natural, like the lovely sleeve ribbons
I love the sleeves!!! They look like little unripe pumpkins or pool floaties like any other 1830s gown sleeve. That's a compliment not an insult!!
I had to laugh because the pouf sleeves reminded me of the window treatment valances we loved in the 1980's. The poufier the better, we stuffed them with tissue paper. haha
these are adorable!!! and i am very impressed that you didnt rage quit on these sleeves. the broken needle would have put me off for a couple of days
The bodice is so cute! I'm looking forward to seeing the full ensemble!
I have a challenge for you... and I think you'll like it!
There is one "historic" dress I've always loved. I think it's perfect for you to make.
It's the 1906? Pepsi Girl dress from advertising trays and posters. It's the one with the highly embellished, blue dress with gold beads and lace.
She even looks like you!
Please think about it.
Love your work!
that is a beautiful dress and she even has a great hat and if i can gather anything from her videos, Angela loves hats!
@@xxjuiciixx I think Angela even looks like the Pepsi Girl 🥰
Awesome!
Re: breaking needles & tension problems - if you haven't already done so 1) clean the bobbin holder / needle plate from fluff buildup and 2) get some rubbing alcohol on a thin piece of fabric, fold it double and drag it between the tension plates a couple of times to remove any debris that is messing with your tension. It won't make the sleeves suck less but it may go some way toward lessening the amount of peripheral shenanigans.
Thanks for the tip…!
I was just complaining about 18th century sleeves and saw this video....I can definitely relate but yours looks more elaborate
Love the matching nail polish! also like the sleevil choice. if one must be persecuted by sleevils, at least one can feel better about it with a fabulous outcome!
I have desperately been waiting for the conclusion of this dress! I love your affinity for pattern matching
I really appreciate the matching green nails.
I think this video showed a point in historically sewing we most times forget. Sometimes it is just working the way around struggles and making it look good and functioning.
Even though I don't understand most of your tailor and sewing language; but watching and listening to yore processes both teach, and sooth me! Thank you!!
I don’t even sew I just find your videos and talent fascinating and now I want sleeves that are bigger than my head. 🪡
I am in awe of your dedication to sewing on all those sequins. It's looking spectacular at this stage, It's going to be phenominal with the skirt added!
Your pattern making skills are truly awesome!.. you looked at a fashion plate and patterned a dress! Bravo!
I can’t wait to see the entire look all together!! That combo of those shades of green in the fabric is to die for!!
Thank you for walking us through your problem-solving for the fit of the sleeves/getting them on and off. When I've had a sleeve that was too tight at the wrists I usually either chop it off or cut a whole new sleeve (or the whole thing ends up in the the UFO pile). Now I've got two new ideas!
I love 1830s fashion, those people went so hard with designs, they really had fun :D Your sleeves look wonderful!
I know you hate making sleeves, but these are beautiful~ loving the green 💚
Beautiful sleeves. I like the gold bows on the cuffs.
My favorite gathering technique is “put the tension one number higher and set to the longest stitch on your machine.” method
You're a very hard worker.
oh my goodness!! it looks absoulutly gorgeous! And kudos for not quitting in the midst of making it. :D
The gold bows at the wrists are so cute!!
Those sleeves are a work of art. Bravo!
YOU ARE EXTREAMLY TALENTED 😱😱👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Oh! Nice cost-cutting with the muslin. Bravo! Very Nice!
This is just stunning!
Wow. This is turning out magnificently.
I’m sure all the sequining took ages but it is so worth it for the final look of the bodice 😊
As usual, your work is amazing
You are INSANE! How? This is so beautiful omg ~
Very nice. It is great to see you making videos
i always love your special embellishments !!! so pretty!!!!!
You always do such Beautiful Work..A Joy to Watch..!
You do such a good job! I love the bright fun colors you do! 💚🍀💚
Omg! I'm sorry it was so difficult, but it's sooooooooooo beautiful! Just gorgeous! I love it soooo much!
Wow! So cool! Love it!
They look gorgeous!
I love the trim with the pearls.
I like your new ironing board cover.
I cannot wait to see the finished dress and to see the Bonnet making process😍😍😍
Part 2!!! Hooray!!..your patience for these fiddly designs is well rewarded with gorgeous outcomes, those looks awesome.
Looks awesome!
Just beautiful
Your work always amazes me. So intricate and then all the embellishment! Beautiful work. And all with a wicked giggle barely veiled in the narration!
Sewing boo-boo = sprinkle sequins = all better! Sweet bodice!
just beautiful
Wow! Lovely! I learned something!
Super super and superb design my dear friend 💗💗💗 have a blessed day 💗💗💗
Cute!!!!
I find it easier to machine so a small cough if it’s turned inside out
I love it just beautiful Thank you for charing Angela see you soon 🌷 💖
You are amazing. You have so much talent. Reminds me the bouffant culotte from the 1400s? that you made. So many steps.
I don’t like plaids as a rule, but this is magnificent!!!
I love ridiculous sleeves and shoulder decoration 🥰🥰
Why does the description of the sleeves at the start of the video make that saying "I hate to see you leave but I love to watch you walk away" pop in my head? 😂😂😂
It's so pretty 😍😍😍
Very lovely
Fun fun!
For gathering, have you ever used elastic thread in your bobbin and regular thread for the top thread? I have and it works well. It's much easier to adjust to the width you need and if you wish to pull out the elastic thread at the end, it comes out easily.
Wow! Very tedious to say the least! Your hands had to be sore, but did turn out great!
I miss your videos, I hope you're doing well!
Wow!
Nice
I saw the title and hit it immediately 😆
I fkn hate sleeves, and I'm not even doing anything pretty!!
Where do you drink from for your fountain of patience?! I neeeeed~
Girl, dang! That's too much stress! I'd have screamed and set it on fire 😅
Wow. just Wow.
Personally not a fan of the 1830’s. But you always make any project fun to watch.
wow!!!!!
Will the skirt have hidden pockets?
sorry if youve answered this before, but do you have a wardrobe or something where you keep all the clothes you make? i'd think that all these large history dresses would take up just so much room!
As a designer of 38 years who knows how to sew and pattern are, your work is good.i would have done a couple of things differently but that comes with experience. The only thing I would suggest is that you talk a little slower for those who might not have the knowledge and experience you do. Keep it up!!
Hon, get yourself a cleaned/restored Singer 15, or another all metal vintage machine.
The bodice is chef’s kiss. Oh and *collars are the absolute worst* .
Emerald city vibes.
The leprechaun dress now has clover sleeves, if you bend your elbow do they look like 3 leaf clovers? ☘️
The silk looks like bugee wrapping paper or ribbon

Sleeves are my bane.
My question is... Why not use a single full piece of muslin that fit you as your overall guide..as the lining? The cutting step with the ribbon would have been avoided if you already fit your lower arm. Even if you decide to replace that lining for other, its a great guide for both the full replacement lining and placement of exterior pieces.
Why use an anachronistic fabric with lurex threads?
the sleeves look like smoke signals. . .
