It turned out so lovely! I really like the idea of adding a transparent layer behing your inset lace fabric, it still keeps the delicate see through look without feeling quite so exposed.
If you ever do another sewing project in a day you should make an Edwardian night gown, as they strayed from a chemise no one ever mentions what people wore to bed when combinations were worn, Beautiful job on the blouse, it looks very clean and cool for the summer months!
You are a breathe of fresh air. You explain so well, and your voice is so calm and relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you make this beautiful blouse. I’m a beginner and since moving two years ago all I’m doing is decorating and renovating from top to bottom. I cannot wait until I have my very own sewing area so I can start making my own clothes. In the meantime I’ll have to carry on watching your wonderful channel to help me get the buzz I crave. Thank you so much for spending time showing us, it was wonderful. 💖💖💖
Honestly the clean up at the end was just so super therapeutic to me. When I sew at home the project isn't officially done until I've cleaned up and that extra bit of closure just
I was watching a video about good sewing habits to install. I decided one I wanted to establish was cleaning after each project was completed. I now clean my area and my sewing machine, since I discovered how quickly it fills with lint.
I thought the blouse was beautiful. I am partial to lace and pintucks, so this blouse will definitely be in my future! I just bought a pattern from that company but haven't read through it yet and I was wondering what you thought of their directions in terms of clarity. Thank you for sharing this with us. Yes, I would like to see other one day makes, but only if you really want to do that. Please don't pressure yourself over our wants. Stay safe!
I think for the most part the directions were fairly clear. There were 1 or 2 points that I had to reread a few times, but once the garments was in my hand it made more sense 🙂
Very enjoyable video!! Love the lace details. As a tall person myself, it's always a pain to find clothing where the sleeves are long enough. Nice to see there are patterns out there that accommodate us taller folk. Awesome to see you're in the Historically Adequate group in June's journey with Bernadette, Morgan and Rachel. I guess it's like a Costube group, I love it so many of you are friends. Nice community.
Isn't that a great pattern! I've made two of these Armistice blouses from Folkwear and love them! I like how you did the lace too - so pretty and feminine. I really like how you started and ended the video, Marika. It kind of helps tell the story. Wonderfully done!
Oh my goodness, that was amazing!! I am brand new to this community and to advanced sewing, so I still struggle sometimes with the vocabulary (German to English). But this is most definitely an enormous help. Thank you so much.
It’s one of those garments that doesn’t have much hanger appeal but looks marvellous on. I was getting worried that you weren’t going to show it being worn.
I've been eyeing this pattern for a while. Folkwear didn't used to have a particularly extensive size range but is working to extend their sizes. As I am not sylphlike like the model shown on their website I had concerns as to how the blouse looked on a figure with a larger bust line. I was so pleased when this video came up and with your finished product. You look lovely and I am confident in trying this pattern now!
This is wonderful! I've been yearning to make this, and now you've shown me how to do it! You're such an inspiration -- I love how you showed the cleaning up stage; it's just what I needed. I'm also inspired by the fact that your body shape is closer to mine than to some of the more waif-like historical costumers on RUclips! Thank you.
A lovely blouse and it looks great on you. The sleeves are a very nice length for you. Thank you for the video. I can't believe that you were able to get it done in one day. Once I get too tried, everything goes to hell and I must stop sewing.
Your version of the blouse is amazing and I’m so impressed that you got it done in less than 12 hours. I’m the idiot who decided to make it in a Liberty print fabric and due to pattern matching it took me about as long as that just to cut it out. When I got it finished the detail of the blouse can’t be seen because of the pattern matching 🙄. I love it in white though, it looks so classy and the pintucks and lace insertions are the icing on the cake. I, too, found the sleeves long, and I have relatively skinny wrists. I found that making the cuffs slightly longer but narrower in order to avoid the cuff falling over my wrist resulted in a gorgeous sleeve shape. The pattern does come up short in the body; you’ve reminded me that if I make another I’ll need to account for that. Also I don’t have much of a waist so I left the gathers and waist tape off and straightened the bottom hem. Your blouse is magnificent and beautifully finished. Thank you for sharing the process. I hope your husband made you a lovely, well-deserved dinner at the end of it all.
I see you, Mercedes Lackey books! 🥰 I came across this pattern today and then, almost immediately, the sewing gods saw it fit to nudge me in the direction of your video. Your shirt turned out beautifully! I’m definitely going to give this one a try - with shorter sleeves, per your suggestion!
I have this blouse as a work in progress. I used white 100% cotton imperial batiste, which isn’t as see-through as voile, but is nice and light for the humid sub-tropical area I live in. Instead of drawnwork or pintucks, I used my embroidery machine to decorate the vestee and collar. I’m just at the point of attaching the vestee, and haven’t done the sleeves yet (as I know I will have to do some seam ripping - I can’t set a sleeve right the first time after 40 years of sewing). Mine will be the short sleeved version, and I did cut the body longer, as it looked short to me when I was cutting it out. Also, I plan on making the Folkwear # 209 walking skirt out of lightweight navy wool serge to go with it.
The blouse is lovely and I'd like to give it a try! I like the fact that you endeavor to keep your sewing area tidy so you don't lose things. I also like that you clean up when you are done! Blessings on you and your family and friends. 🕊🙏🖖
@@EnchantedRoseCostumes I think that's true of most living areas, inside or outside. After I finish the lawn I get to re-think my livingroom. New-to-me 29 gallon fish tank! My brain is going to hurt! I hope the sewing and tailoring fairys help pick up your sewing room when you are very busy! And thank you for reminding me about Folkwear Patterns. I used to sew some of their patterns back in the seventies. Have a blessed week!
Beautiful blouse; I am now inspired to make this for my self. So thank you very much to all the Marika. I love Edwardian blouse, I have been faffing around saying I should make a pattern, but I really love this one so again THANKS:)
Your Armistice blouse looks so lovely. Great job! I'm sooo in love with these Armistice blouses that if I had a crystal ball to look into ... I'd for sure see a whole collection in my future wardrobe. Even seen a dress in a similar style on Pinterest, that would be also very lovely for a summer dress in the near future.
I'm actually going to be making the petticoat and corset cover from folkwear patterns soon. I'm excited and I've had the pattern for a decade at least.
Well, the Missouri Riverboatman' shirt was a great fave (love the squares/rectangles and gussets) currently tho it 's the Egyptian shirt - to which I add collar and cuffs!! I have a few of the ladies ones, just to look at...
Even with your experience you had a few whoopsies where you did a bit of ripping and resewing. Your honesty is appreciated. I'll do more research before I decide if this pattern is for me.
A seam ripper is something I use during every single project 😅 I think it is a tool that can help to improve sewing, because if you care enough to redo a seam, you will end up with a garment that will be cherished 💗
Oh, that pattern has been on my wish list for a while now! I’m excited to see how you make it. Oh, and it’s amazing how fast you finished all that. It takes me about that long to make a simple tank top for my kids.
So excited you're doing the armistice blouse. I wanna make this beauty one day. Yours turned out absolutely gorgeous, I love the details you added to it you added to make it your own. 💙😍💙 Thread drawing is so pretty!
This is stunning! I love the potential of it! You can make all sorts of variations of it, with different laces in different places.. Oh dear! I'll have to try it!
Really nice. Looks fabulous with the skirt. I am trying to copy my great aunt's high neck lace blouse but I may try to make this one because while I like the look of the high neck I am not sure I can wear it more than a minute.
Me: Wow, that blouse is so pretty. I would love to have something like that in my wardrobe. Also Me: Has stains and poorly darned holes on pretty much every t-shirt, because I am a klutz.
This is in my Etsy cart. I’ll have an under layer for modesty but I want as much lace as the Gibson blouses but I don’t think that cut will be flattering on me. I’ve considered sewing in some pastel lawn behind the lace as well. I’ll see.
I think I need to do this blouse, and then tweak it to be a bungalow dress as well. Small point - the "stitch or two" at the corners is at 45 degrees, not 90.
What a lovely blouse! And its great that you could finish it on one day! You used some interesting scissors to cut down the excess fabric on the insertion lace part. May I ask how these are named? I've never seen scissors like these but they look quite handy!
Loved this video! Only problem was I got some weird voice distortion issues at some parts. Not sure if it’s just me? But it has happened on a few of your videos. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Lovely blouses. And very interesting to watch you create it. I think the sleeves are supposed to be a bit long to be puffy at the wrist. BTW I LOVE the cross stitch rose that is behind your machine. Did you do that also?
Sleeves are a bit long? Great news for someone like me that usually has yo add 1-3" to long sleeve patterns (not to mention overall length in most patterns while having to shorten the rise in pants patterns... I'm tall, long limbed & long in the torso, but have short hips. Lol)

I have had this pattern for upwards of 20 years and still haven’t made it. Now I’m inspired to do so. Great job!

I would love to make a frilly edwardian robe one day. I've had an extant wedding robe on my list for years 😄
Enchanted Rose Costumes that would be stunning, the list of projects never end!

I was fully expecting the sleeve complaint to be that they're too short. As a tall person long sleeves are a rare joy to find.
Honestly the clean up at the end was just so super therapeutic to me. When I sew at home the project isn't officially done until I've cleaned up and that extra bit of closure just
Watching cleaning videos are a guilty pleasure of mine 😆🤫😉
I was watching a video about good sewing habits to install. I decided one I wanted to establish was cleaning after each project was completed. I now clean my area and my sewing machine, since I discovered how quickly it fills with lint.
I love the Edwardian Era. Thanks so much - beautiful work.

Wow. I looked down at the clock when she said it was 10:22 as she started the challenge, and it was 10:22 (pm). Eerie.
Spooky😬😆
You were able to get it cut out quickly! That came out so beautifully and looks wonderful on you! Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you! Rotary cutters are amazing for speed! It also helped that there weren't that many pieces 😁

After some time you will sit there and think: "Why can't I remember what pintucks are called in German. I'm watching far to many English videos."
I find this naehtalente.de/naehbegriffe-deutsch-englisch/ quite helpful

I am amazed by our neat pencil curve-lines!
Thank you 😁 lots and lots of practice 😅

The blouse looks amazing, you did a great job in 12 hours :) I recently made one and it took me a week or more :)
That blouse is so pretty!
Completely unrelated, but I got ridiculously happy when I saw Tamora Pierce books in the background!

Great minds! I have some cotton voile that I was looking at last night thinking I should make this same blouse with. It looks great!
Beautiful blouse; I am now inspired to make this for my self. So thank you very much to all the Marika. I love Edwardian blouse, I have been faffing around saying I should make a pattern, but I really love this one so again THANKS:)
I got this pattern 2 months ago as part of my suffragette outfit goals for election day this fall. I'm glad you found it so easy to work with
I love seeing you enjoying your walkway dress. Beautiful work for.both projects!
Thank you so much!
Edwardian blouses are quite high on my to do-list at the moment, so this was just what I needed. Love the result!
Love that you wore the Walkaway Dress for this!
Your Armistice blouse looks so lovely. Great job!

Huge fan of Folkwear patterns - been using them for nearly 40 years!
What are you favourite patterns from them?
Well, the Missouri Riverboatman' shirt was a great fave (love the squares/rectangles and gussets) currently tho it 's the Egyptian shirt - to which I add collar and cuffs!! I have a few of the ladies ones, just to look at...
Beautiful blouse!! I want to make an Edwardian blouse at some point but I’m currently buried deep in a sewing project with no end in sight.... someday
I love the look of this blouse. The pin ticks and lace are lovely! Beautifully done

Arrgh...junes journey is sooooooo addicting. Im quite enjoying it.
I know right!!!! It is one of my go to things when I need a break 😁😁
I love it! Thank you for the information on how the pattern fits as well.
You have such a lovely organized space. It is inspiring!
Love it!
This is a lovely shirt! Thanks for showing this one day make!

I came across several lovely ladies on IG who were wearing this pattern with jeans and it looked fabulous.
A fantastic video! I loved how it worked out. Can't believe you made it within 12 hours.
Thank you 😊 it is amazing how quickly one can work without distractions.
The blouse looks beautiful on you. I really enjoyed the process. Thank you 🙏
Excellent, I've just put this in my basket ❤️❤️❤️

You look absolutely gorgeous 😻❤️🌺
This is such a lovely top, I wish I could wear something so delicate but I would hulk rip it t trying to climb on something
Your dress is so lovely
Such a lovely blouse, and especially for such a short amount of time! I'm definitely going to have a look at the pattern, I need more blouses!
I think it is a great pattern!
love this blouse
I think I need to do this blouse, and then tweak it to be a bungalow dress as well.
Small point - the "stitch or two" at the corners is at 45 degrees, not 90.
Thanks for the video! I have the pattern and it is on my list of makes this fall/winter
Your pin tucks are perfect.
That looks amazing! This is such a good piece for historybounding
Lovely blouse
Beautiful, well done x x x
Love this!
What a pretty bounding blouse! You really worked fast, I can make a face mask in a day, lol!
It turned out beautiful! Loved your video.
Could you do a bookshelf tour?
Beautiful work. I have that pattern and it's in my queue. May have to move it up.
Oh that looks so lovely on you!
Lovely
Thank you! Very pretty blouse!
Looks nice
Marika I am making it now with fine silk crepe NIGHTMARE. Ive been fighting with it for days 😭
What a lovely blouse! And its great that you could finish it on one day!
You used some interesting scissors to cut down the excess fabric on the insertion lace part. May I ask how these are named? I've never seen scissors like these but they look quite handy!
They are called duck bill or applique scissors 😁 I believe I put a link to them in the description
They are mainly used for applique work on quilts
Love your sewing room :)
Loved this video! Only problem was I got some weird voice distortion issues at some parts. Not sure if it’s just me? But it has happened on a few of your videos.
Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Lovely blouses. And very interesting to watch you create it. I think the sleeves are supposed to be a bit long to be puffy at the wrist. BTW I LOVE the cross stitch rose that is behind your machine. Did you do that also?

Wow, stunning. I’d love to make one like this.
Do it 😁😁
Enchanted Rose Costumes I’m only a beginner and all that lace insertion is way beyond my skills.
this blouse suites you well I think
lovely! 💕
How did you like the pattern? I have a few folkwear patterns on my list but have never made any of them..
I liked it a lot 😁
Beautiful job. I love it. btw, did you sew your dress? If so what is the pattern?
Wow! In one day! That's amazing! And it turned out so pretty! Can you recommend a site that sells vintage patterns at a fair price?😇
Thank you 😄 I don't have a site recommendation other then etsy or ebay. Most of the vintage patterns I've bought were at second hand stores.
