The artistry in this video is unreal. The shirt construction is so inspiring & meticulous. The shots & editing & writing is delightful. All of your video offerings are such a treat, and something I look forward to seeing!! Thank you for sharing.
It is a treasure. This Video. I sew and I love hand stitching . It make my garment so special for me. I don't need make thousands pieces to cloth myself . You made me happy. Greetings from Germany.
I love the quietness and the humor of this. I love process videos. Forty hours is more than I want to spend on a shirt but the anatomy and the new to me techniques (dot dash rolled hem!) is interesting and a bit exciting.
All of your videos makes me super emotional because you really go deep into the connection with the craft and what is means in the history and that's just really not v present on this website. You really are so generous i feel so lucky to have found your channel
This is such a high quality video that I watched it completely amazed. Amazing choice of words, expressions, camera angles, truly everything.... I felt like I was watching the art not only of a garment, but also of the mind. Thank you so much, I'm a fan of yours from now on!
Lined vests have surprisingly interesting construction techniques given how simple they look. I can imagine you having fun with textile choices, welted pockets, and the topological fuckery of attaching the shell and lining. Not to mention the different looks you’d put together✨
Omg I loved this short film, the color grading reminded me of Martin Scorsese’s “Made in Milan” and the references to Sofia were chef’s kiss. You’ve captured my imagination.
Finished making my first yoked button down a few days ago and this has made me feel so proud of myself :,) people forget that all clothes are handmade!!!
Beautiful video! I love the amount of history and research that you shared with us. I'd love to see classic trousers next! There is so much that goes into them.
You exemplify what a true craftsperson is like. I deeply admire how you're able to take us along in this journey through history, what these garments mean to you and the development of your craft 💮
You put such love and care into everything you create. Your shirt looks fabulous. I love your trick for the rolled hem. I love watching anything you decide to make. ❤😊
Lovely. And so very satisfying. I’m a novice sewer. I’ve done odd projects by hand through the years, but only recently obtained an old 1970’s Husqvarna sewing machine from my mother in law and decided it was long past time for me to learn how to make my own clothes. I had some old flannel sheets at hand and decided to make a button down shirt from one. I guess it was a case of ignorance making one fearless lol. I had no real idea how many highly technical aspects there were to a button down shirt. I have to say, even though I am now an expert seam ripper (😂), I learned soooo much. From felled seams to plackets to collar drafting and construction, the in’s and out’s of yolks and darts …. It’s a tad wonky here and there, but all in all, I am really proud of it. Funny how in our modern times, the highest compliment people give you is to say, “Wow! YOU made that? I thought it was store bought.” I did some details by hand as well, which I also enjoyed. It was nice to take the time to do the button holes by hand and I, personally, prefer the look of hand sewn button holes. I’m hooked now. I want to make many more and continue to learn and improve my skills. I’d love to be able to tailor make the shirts for all the people in my family. I’ve never been a terribly patient person and have always been the corner cutter type. But I didn’t with this project and I found the whole process a kind of workout for the soul and mind in the best possible way. A mediation on patience and detail. Subscribed in anticipation of more in the series ❤
Incredible ! Your love for craftsmanship and fabric and garments really shows in your videos and it is contagious haha Now i want to make myself a shirt as well I've done some already but i'll gladly try your process for a change
I'm currently learning how to draft and construct suits and it's a test of patience. Seeing you make a button up shirt with hand stitching instead of machine makes every step feel more intentional and like an act of love
What timing! I am finishing my first sewn shirt with just buttons to go. Mine is less classically tailored and more feminine, and a lot less professionally finished! But I am happy with it and enjoyed the finicky details. (I love sewing plackets!! So neat!)
Such a beautiful doc on making a shirt. I’ve been wanting to know more of the techniques that set apart a high end shirt. And am advanced enough to put into practice based on this beautifully shot and edited video. Award winning stuff right here.
So happy to find your video, great quality and content! I used to sew couture pieces but sadly had given up, though i do miss all the hand sewing work. Thank you for reignite my hobby!
You are amazing!❤ love your editing style, I’d steal your shoes if I were a woman, and your voice is so soothing. Redingote could be a nice one to try with your twist of course. Hugs, Adrien
I was so excited to see this pop up in my notifications - you didn't disappoint, as usual. 😊 (The music was great in this one.) I LOVE shirts. I've only been sewing for 3 years, but they are my favorite item to make (and wear). I love the oversized look you achieved - I'm still on the hunt for the perfect oversized fit (I'm proportionately petite at 5'1" but full-figured, so it's such a struggle not to be swallowed by fabric or look like a tent😭). Classic garment? Anything you'd decide on would be a pleasure to watch. Can't wait for the next one! 😊
Beautifully done!!! Do you have any pointers or insight for button up shirts for women with large busts? I seem the have the issue where there more stretch needed in that area so you end up seeing through the buttons
Lovely video as always! I prefer to finish felled hems by hand vs French seams. Since the second line of stitching in French seams is the one that takes the strain, I would recommend stitching more finely, with a running backstitch or backstitch if this is something you plan to wear hard. Also when sewing buttonholes I find it helpful to whipstitch around the cut edge with fine thread before doing the buttonhole stitch with silk buttonhole twist or pearl cotton thread. With tall sleeve caps I like to baste the sleeve in by hand first rather than use pins and the machine right away. I find that it helps to control volume and exact placement so that the seams do line up where I want. I haven’t seen a seam finish like yours before on the armscye, it looks really nice and I want to try it out now!
Absolutely beautiful work! Subbed within 30 secs and looking forward to this series. I've been obsessing over trousers recently, so would naturally love to see your take on a pair at some point :)
i don't know if it applies to any type of clothes but i resewn my old pair of trousers by hand, cut all the machined thread, take all the parts, then handsewn them back. when it's done, i wear it and to my surprise it was noticeably more comfortable.
I didn't use detergent because the potential added residue might cause irritation with the hands/fingers in the sewing process. i also have eczema on my hands so I have to be careful. without it, it's like a simple gentle cleanse that looses up all the dirty and chemicals on it. Hope that answers your question!
Wow Victoria, I love love love your work. So pleased to have found your channel. I can't wait to see what you do next. In a world of fast fashion, you are an inspiration.💫
Let me know what classic garment you'd like to see me tackle next!
I've been thinking a lot about kilts lately!
@@dodgethis_ omg yes
Slip dress?! Loved the video! Such a treat when you upload!
Shirt Dress :) And how to get from Shirt to the Shirt Dress

This is the respect and reverence we should have for ALL the things we make from the Earth's resources.
Amazing!
this might be the best video out there, like actually. i'm pretty sure anything you'll upload next will be a delight!
wow thank you so much
Strangely satisfying video. I could watch it just to relax. It feels like meditation.
come on cinematographyyyyy
looking forward to the next episode of the anatomy of a garment. this one was so good!
Omg I loved this short film, the color grading reminded me of Martin Scorsese’s “Made in Milan” and the references to Sofia were chef’s kiss. You’ve captured my imagination.

Wtaf, one of the absolute best videos I’ve seen on RUclips. An absolute feast for the eyes, really looking forward to the next one 😊😊😊
As far as another garment to tackle is concerned, I'd be intrigued to see your take on a bomber jacket !

I Love All The Handwork!! Thank You
You put such love and care into everything you create. Your shirt looks fabulous. I love your trick for the rolled hem. I love watching anything you decide to make. ❤😊
thank you so much
Inspired by your patience and encouraged to give my unfinished pants another try!
All that handwork is amazing! ✨
A feast in every manner possible. You are an inspiration! Respect, from another Victoria. 🌿❤🌿

It's stunning and a work of art - thank you for pulling all of us into your fabulous art process

Astonishing! Beautiful work. Well done!!
Amazing process! And great result. Bravo

OBSESSED WITH YOU!!! thank you so much for this!
all the hand stitching details are impressive!

sleeve plackets are the OCD person's dream ahah
Insane and this is gonna be a great series! Really bringing the magic that is to light

What a lovely calming video! I am aspiring to sew more like this.
You are amazing!❤ love your editing style, I’d steal your shoes if I were a woman, and your voice is so soothing. Redingote could be a nice one to try with your twist of course. Hugs, Adrien
your work is so criminally underrated. can not wait for more xx
Watching this video was a beautiful experience! Thank you ✨

this is phenomenal, makes me wanna pick up the thread and needle again
Beautifully done!!! Do you have any pointers or insight for button up shirts for women with large busts? I seem the have the issue where there more stretch needed in that area so you end up seeing through the buttons
Oh I’m in for a treat
You are so talented ❤ I get excited with every video you post.
Do you have a link to the pattern you used?
Stunning and eloquent!

Nice video! Where did you get the pattern?
Hi writing this while watching.. thank you ☺️
Why no detergent?
I didn't use detergent because the potential added residue might cause irritation with the hands/fingers in the sewing process. i also have eczema on my hands so I have to be careful. without it, it's like a simple gentle cleanse that looses up all the dirty and chemicals on it. Hope that answers your question!
If you want to build a raincoat (canvas? Linen? Wool?) I would be very interested.
This video was amazing. Would you consider posting one without music?
I feel so bad about how I make a shirt now 😂
Great video, music is too distracting.
Wow Victoria, I love love love your work. So pleased to have found your channel.
I can't wait to see what you do next.
In a world of fast fashion, you are an inspiration.💫
Very nice
