💃🏻Thank you to Native for sponsoring this video! 3 deodorants are normally $36 dollars, but if you use my link bit.ly/nativeabbycox and code ABBYCOX you’ll get them for $24 that’s 33% off! With my code, you can also get 20% off any body wash or toothpaste! Thank you all for the kind words about my corset! I'll be discussing it a bit in next week's video, but in the meantime, the pattern I used is this one: www.etsy.com/listing/899746617/fixed-size-the-ballerina-victorian?ref=shop_home_active_4&crt=1 😍
I am making an 1865 ballgown and I was wondering you could help me. I recently got stuck with something called piping its supposed to support the neck and arm holes. Can you please do a video on how to that if you don't have a zipper foot on the sewi g machine
@@samanthasolveson625 cut the strips on the bias, and stitch the piping in place using running stitches. Please also see my antique clothing haul video playlist - I have a couple of 1860 dresses and earlier that show piping: ruclips.net/p/PLAzJJkH_MerpZRPLBCueHwWLFL43Vzdu3
@Edwin Mohammed It is disgusting that you would do that. If she doesn't want you to see it, leave it alone. Clearly you must not trust her, so why are you dating her? I hope she sees this and decides she doesn't need to be dating someone who doesn't respect her privacy and doesn't trust her.
Who else thought totally started pictured Lizzo in some Mutton Chop sleeves when Abby started breaking down those lyrics? Oh yeah Lizzo in rocking out in 1890s clothes would be totally badass.
"This petticoat will never be washed" despite me knowing this is logical and its silk and it doesnt really touch skin much or outside dirt.....this still stresses me out
Making mistakes and working through them is part of the journey with sewing - as frustrating as it can feel, it's such a crucial part of the process. :)
We all make mistakes! I was doing french seams the other night and did it wrong. I took the seam out took a break went back and did it wrong again!! Muttered a lot of bad words and went to bed!! Which is what I should have done after the first time. Sometimes you can say “yeah I meant to do that” other times you rip it out. Depending what it is and if anyone will see it. Don’t get too frustrated we all do it even after years of sewing!!
It is so encouraging, right? Seeing someone who is good at it and has stunning results fuck it up and how they correct it takes so much pressure of a beginner who thinks they just cant sew and better stop trying.
So I'm not a sewist (I LOVE hand sewing, but have never learned any proper techniques, and never made clothes before), I'm not a historical costumer, and I don't understand more than half of the technical terms Abby uses, but I LOVE her channel! I love history in general, and I love watching her content. I'm learning about sewing, and it makes me feel creative. Also, Abby's personality is amazing! She's funny, knowledgeable, and talented.
On the subject of the old drafting manuals needing an editor: the long running Charles A. Stone's drafting system, most of the editions of menswear being available on Internet Archive, routinely use "breast" to refer to both the entire chest measurement as well as half the chest measurement. They also sometimes sneak in a "breast net", unqualified and unexplained. If you're not careful you end up with sack coats that are 6 feet around. The diagrams are more accurate than the instructions, and the first section on "the proportionate figure" is pretty useful, though.
"A black petticoat is more practical" Yeah *sure* it is but being dramatic is way more fun! That is why I made a blue and white striped petticoat. I don't care if I'm the only one who sees it *I'm happy!*
My petticoats are made from this absolutely atrocious floral polyester "satin" from the 70s that I believe was supposed to have been used for pajamas. I got it from an estate sale - it was almost 10 yards of that fabric!! I don't know how in the world someone thought buying that much of that material was a good idea but it was a great practice fabric and "underpinning" material
I hear and deeply empathize with your exasperation on hemming the ruffles. I handmade my first ruffled petticoat and when my non-sewing friends were all "you have been working on that for a while there Deb", I did the math and I realized that the petticoat had involved over 70ft of hemming. I feel for you, so deeply.
And then there’s me, hemming 8+ yards of ruffles by hand - and actually enjoying it😅😂 (And is now hand stitching an entire dress, just to see how much I actually enjoy it)
Abby, thank you for leaving in bits like the pins you left in your hair, no makeup days, and voiced frustration with parts of projects you dislike. It reminds us you are real, and gives us "permission" to be real too! 🥰🥰
I love it! That silhouette is 👌🏻!!! The underskirt and petticoat are truly lovely, and have gotten me very excited for the next few weeks, for sure. But...THAT CORSET! 🤩😍🤩 Be still my heart. It is so close to the corset I dream of making, someday, right down to the trim. Doesn’t hurt that it looks utterly phenomenal on you, either. Seriously, my friend, OOH LA LA! Love and light, and see you next week.❤️
Abby, I just want to thank you for being so open minded with your sponsors! I’ve been searching for an aluminum-free deodorant for almost a decade and none that I’ve tried worked, but hearing you talk about sweating and that you sweat like a ‘normal person’ (I only say that because all natural deodorant only seems to work for people who don’t sweat), you really pushed me to try Native. I really hope it works for me! ❤️
I was skeptical too because I sweat a lot but I found a mini travel size of native to test before binging on the more expensive full size ones and I am a believer! Check your local wal mart or similar and grab a mini if you're unsure!
I like native, but be aware that it is made with baking soda which can cause chemical burns if you are a contrasting pH to the deodorant. I can't remember which is acidic and which is alkaline (high or low), but I do know that baking soda is alkaline. So just be careful. I haven't had issues and I stopped using regular deodorant like secret or degree, because it was burning my underarms and I hated it.
Welcome!!! The 1890s are a great starting point, the shapes and styles work well for 2021 and there is *a lot* of great information out there from the time period on how to pattern and make pieces from the period! I've had a lot of fun in this decade so far! :D
You've helped me so much i recently acquired a pair of edwardian non-split crotch drawers and I couldn't for the life of me understand why they had a hole in the waistband at the center front considering they are in immaculate condition I had a theory it had something to do with the corset waist hook and when you mention they put a hole in the front so they wouldn't spin or move about, and they had to be taken down as they are non-split crotch the whole thing made sense thank you for helping me with my little mystery
I love ruffles on my clothes but sewing them on when the back seam is closed has always been a pain. So I love your idea of sewig on the ruffles when the garment is still flat, and then finish up the back seam later. Definitely going to try it next time I'm sewing a skirt with ruffles! Also I really love the colourful finished petticoat!
@@AbbyCox yesyesyes! Not quite the same but I knitted some 1940s "step-ins" from the WW2 patterns that the V&A have up for free as an experiment and they've been so good (especially in summer). I really want to give a full union suit a go now, although it's a heck of a lot more stitches than basic step-ins. Might get one done for next winter 🤷♀️
That pink petticoat, though!!! 😍😍😍 As someone who's currently making a full 1897 toilette, I absolutely love to see this as it serves as both inspiration and useful information! Thank you 😘❤
Thank you for the tip about leaving the back open! I've been putting off making more petticoats because wrestling the ruffles on the circular shape was so frustrating. Your way seems much easier!
I love your videos, not only for the sewing adventures, but for comic relief! You keep me smiling with your rambling, your “so who really cares?” and just your silly ways! I love you! You’re about my granddaughter’s age, so I’m not being weird! I just really look forward to my evenings watching the ones I’ve missed or repeat watching…
The unexpected North & South scene! 😍😍😍 Here for it. Also that pink silk would have made my 12 year old self cry with longing. (Lbr it's still making me cry a bit from how gorgeous it is.)
I love how your videos reflect you as a real person. I started watching because of your passion for the topic. I always enjoy your willingness to allow the normal slips to stay in your videos and your gracious acceptance of them.
I’m commenting because I love your video. You’re doing a great job… I love the combination of historical and academic and… Ah hell they did it... I’ll do it too... You are just fun to hang out with.
im just getting into sewing, and creating as authentic as possible period pieces and let me just say your channel has been a godsend! obviously i have a ways to go but youve helped my understanding tremendously!
12:12 *YES!* I have had this problem, and it is one's inclination to assume that you missed or misread something, but after thd fourth readthru, it is so not your fault!
3:29 Me: low on Native deo Abby: I have a solution for you *Le cleeck* ordered new offerings and a mini. Yaaay! Native has been my Goldilocks deo for several years! Thank ye kindly, lady😊
I'm a cross stitcher. I can backstitch because of that, although my cross stitch backstitching is very different to sewing backstitching mostly to save floss. So I can sew a hem if I need to, and I do use my skills to fix things when I need to, and I can sew a button on, that's actually pretty easy.
I adore your color pallet and had a joyful squee moment when you chose that velveteen for your bias tape! I appreciate you and always look forward to your content 🎉❤
I always wondered if static was a thing, and then I paused the video at 14:25. Abby answering questions that she didn't know had been asked. EXCELLENT video!
Dangit Abby! I wound up going down a rabbit hole because the front page of that book says "Used in School for Girls, Agricultural Department of State University of Minnesota and James Industrial Training Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota. And my brain went, "Oooh! I wonder which college/university that is now!"
As close as I can figure right now it's referring to the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. I need to be on campus of my local U of M to be able to really do a search in the archives.
Great job. I love how if you do enough research, you can justify ALL your decisions. Historically speaking, I’m sure there was a lot of get sh*t done, and you prove how they did it. Thanks for a wonderful video.
I did, just finished, along with finishing up a "UFO". Congratulations on your work, thank you for sharing tips & process. I completely agree with ruffles or trim is so much on flat, *plus*, do the last little bit of them *after* the final sewing into a "round" (not flat). I hope folks are doing well enough. Best hopes for easily achievable success to you all!🙂
Just looked back at a few of your videos and realised i haven’t seen anything of yours pop up in my feed! have changed that so should see all your videos as they pop up
This video could not have come at a more perfect time. I just bought a hand crank singer machine from 1890 and want to make petticoats and skirts! Thanks Abby ☺️
I enjoyed this alot. I never understood the idea of an underskirt versus a petticoat and now I do! Thank you for all the work you did to share with us.
Don't mind me, just here in the corner going ' ooo plackets.' Always here for placket content. They justbreak my brain a little bit whenever I do them so I live vicariously 😂
Such great content! I mean the sewing content btw. With it without the corset content. I’m here for sewing and love all the tips, tricks and facts! I hope you keep em coming. Dog content is pretty great too.
Maybe it's extra of me, but I really appreciate the whole showing mistakes bits. It's very easy to fall into this hole of thinking that I'm straight garbage at sewing when compared to perfect images on Instagram, or social media in general. Very easy to feel like "no one makes this mistake but me" mid hissy fit..... Ahem. Edges don't perfectly line up? Cut pieces too big somehow? It's normal, and talking about it is so comforting. Thank you for being willing to show all the process!
I love how the dress in that “power sleeve” fashion plate you threw up there just happens to perfectly match your sweater in colour and embellishments.
All your color choices make my eyes happy! Great tutorial and tips. My tip when sewing is to watch other sewist videos to remind me that mishaps happen to us all and commiseration lessens sewing tizzy fits by 98 percent. Thank you!

Don't think of using your pinking shears as 'cheating': think of them as using 'an authentic, time-saving & historical technique'.
there is such thing as an antique hand-crank pinking cutter :)
I want to let you know that telling us how much Victorians pinked seams eases my anxiety over new projects. Thank you!
Preach! 😂
"You need a serger to finish seams"
"No you don't, stop gatekeeping" - me in almost all my sewing groups on facebook other than the historical one lol
well, you can't ignore the fact that fabric was woven much, much tighter back then

@@h0rriphic i don’t know about anyone else but I have a SUPER hairy dog lol So I wash my couch covers about 4-5 times a year too :)
Real pattern weights are the mark of someone with an adequate budget for fabric. I use some glass tea light holders I got from Goodwill for like $3.
My pattern weights are big ol’ washers and nuts from Home Depot covered in fabric scraps to make them presentable 😅
Agreed, and guilty.
Good idea!
I use my biggest books 😅
I use rocks...

Watching you makes mistakes and work with it makes me feel better about sewing. It’s always so frustrating to mess up and I’m learning not to give up.

I hope folks are doing well enough. Best hopes for easily achievable success to you all!🙂
This is perfectly timed for the late Victorian funeral costume I desire to make this year!
Yea!! You must have ESP! I’m in the middle of sewing a 1890’s petticoat and these learnings are just in time!! Thank you!!
Just looked back at a few of your videos and realised i haven’t seen anything of yours pop up in my feed! have changed that so should see all your videos as they pop up
Can I just comment that her shape looks amazing! Like damn girl that corset is doing wonders for the girls.
I have a feeling I will be returning to this video many times before my project is done.
This video could not have come at a more perfect time. I just bought a hand crank singer machine from 1890 and want to make petticoats and skirts! Thanks Abby ☺️
Native is awesome!
This made our day! 💙
Wow, the skirts and the corset are so cute, the could be an outfit by themselves!
This is so cool and love the ruffles!
Also, thanks for having updated subtitles rather than auto-generated, they're much easier to read. ❤️
I kinda feel like I know what you would look like as a Can-Can dancer at the Moulin Rouge now. And I'm living for that.
This is a most welcome reward for finishing one of my final exams :)
I can't wait for the next videos!
The ruffles, the pink, the green....so pretty! Good job!
Absolutely LOVE your corset Abby 😍
That’s a really pretty corset. I love the blue on white
Yes! I'm so excited for more 1890s!!!!
I love your channel. You are such a ray of sunshine. Thank you!
Never clicked on anything so fast lol. Been on the 1890s kick too.
The pink one is soooo pretty, I kinda want it as just a skirt to wear.
I enjoyed this alot. I never understood the idea of an underskirt versus a petticoat and now I do! Thank you for all the work you did to share with us.
I NEED to know where you got that gorgeous cardigan! 😍
*I have a MIGHTY NEED*
Furiously googled it. No luck.
Those rulers tho:o. The moment i saw them my jaw just droppedXD. Im realy gonna save that link and look them up later:D.
Don't mind me, just here in the corner going ' ooo plackets.' Always here for placket content. They justbreak my brain a little bit whenever I do them so I live vicariously 😂
Such great content! I mean the sewing content btw. With it without the corset content. I’m here for sewing and love all the tips, tricks and facts! I hope you keep em coming. Dog content is pretty great too.
You make it look so easy and not at all, at the same time. I need to start making some skirts.
That corset is beautiful! Did you make it? That blue is just so dang cute! And those curves! I'm jealous
yes! I'll be talking about it and the knit combinations in next week's video!
Maybe it's extra of me, but I really appreciate the whole showing mistakes bits. It's very easy to fall into this hole of thinking that I'm straight garbage at sewing when compared to perfect images on Instagram, or social media in general. Very easy to feel like "no one makes this mistake but me" mid hissy fit..... Ahem.
Edges don't perfectly line up? Cut pieces too big somehow?
It's normal, and talking about it is so comforting. Thank you for being willing to show all the process!
I do LOVE that corset, so that isn't why the algorithm showed me this video but it also didn't hurt.
I love how the dress in that “power sleeve” fashion plate you threw up there just happens to perfectly match your sweater in colour and embellishments.
All your color choices make my eyes happy! Great tutorial and tips. My tip when sewing is to watch other sewist videos to remind me that mishaps happen to us all and commiseration lessens sewing tizzy fits by 98 percent. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the information, cutting, sewing, etc., of your underskirt and petticoat.
I love that corset.
