I love your videos! You toss so much information at me in each one that I need to watch them multiple times. Maybe I should take notes. Or I could just come hang out with you for six months to a year and watch. Joking although if you lived closer to me I would love to spend the odd afternoon picking your brain. Keep up the great work. We sewing nerds are a specialised tribe.
I am making clothes by hand this year (modern styles including knit fabrics) though also including a wrapping gown with box lining. I love it and it is my current dressing gown. It is great to watch your technique, as I am self taught. I have been using running stitch, running back stitch, French and flat fell seams and herringbone stitch. Sometimes I do a running stitch then do the same in the opposite direction in the gaps between stitches 12:53 which creates a continuous seam. I am not sure if this is a bad thing to do, but it seems to work well!!
My pleasure. I think Ironwork is one of the great mysteries of tailored clothing and I've made it my mission to help people learn. It is essential for the fit of these historical clothes.
Quick query: When you are doing each stitch, and you woooooooHIP your hand up before going-in for the next one, do you make a sound effect? 🎶trahhhlahLAH! 🎵ahhhhhhhleeOOP! ?
Во второй половине 1970 годов я училась на портного мужской верхней одежде и вот именно так нас учили выстёгивать подборт и применять влажно тепловую обработке борта.
Thank YOU for sharing.
Wow, you are right, it all comes alive. They must have been paid a lot back then. Artists !

Your explanation of ironwork was eye-opening. I have done that in small ways not realizing what I was doing. Wow! Just wow!
That is my feeling about it as well. Every time I use it to refine the shape of a garment, I'm just blown away...and I've been doing it for decades!
Excellent detail in your videos. The tailoring techniques for stretching and curving using ironwork are particularly useful. Thank you
