I can't believe it took so long for the YT algorithm to recommend this channel. This is right up my alley, I am subscribed to and watch lots of historical sewing channels. But the algorithm keeps recommending things that I couldn't be less interested in.
33:50 That “FOOMP” is an amazing and comforting feeling. When everything fits and is so secure it’s a very satisfying feeling on your body. You feel good and you look good in perfect fitting clothes too.
Lol...Using a razor is pretty common in professional circles. It is much faster and I find that I have fewer accidents like I have in the past with regular claw-shaped seam rippers!
Bravo Matthew! I had forgotten that your doublet was silk-thinking it was linen- and was dreading your having to fight your arms into the sleeves of the jacket with a linen lining. I should have known you wouldn’t make such a poor judgement in construction. This garment is pure perfection and you look wonderful in it.
When the layers are made well, intentionally shaped to fit over one another, I don't have many issues with fighting to get them on. Even when it is linen against linen. Although typically, If I'm wearing a linen suit it is because it is hot outside and I likely wouldn't be wearing anything over it for the sake of staying cool. :)
It is definitely meant as a tutorial, not an advertisement. Since I've gone over many of these techniques in other videos in the past, I've opted for a more abbreviated style of editing. For a more detailed explanation of the techniques, I would look at the playlists and find The Modern Maker Workroom Season 2...where we make a 1618 doublet. It shows the steps in a much slower, more intentional way.
Beautiful, do you have a video about the doublet that you are wearing? Those cuts in the fabric, what are they called and how can they be made? Have a nice day.
Gorgeous. I made a ropilla a couple of years ago from your book, but I made it a little big. There's more room than I need around - how would you go about changing and taking it in? Side seams and back, fronts? I'm probably over-thinking it, but the padstitching took a while to make, and sort of nails most of the shape down..
I usually use a razor to cut the pad stitching threads and free up the edges of the pad stitched areas. Then I trim away what I don't want. I think many people take the measurements too loosely over the undergarments and it leads to things becoming too large. Another reason people have garments that are much too large when working from the books is that they ADD seam allowances when they don't need to. They sometimes miss the part of the book where I tell them that seam allowances are INCLUDED in the proportions. Try measuring over a tee shirt, or over plain skin and see if that keeps things from getting too big. As for the alterations, It is hard for me to make recommendations when I don't know the manner in which it is too big. There are certain things which can tell me where the extra room came from and thus, how to correct it. I can only speculate since I haven't seen it for myself. I wouldn't change center front very much, unless the collar has ended up enormous, in which case, I would reduce the width of the front from the chest up, but not below. The rest I would take in by re-shaping the side back seams. Changing center back and center front should be a last resort.
@@themodernmakermathewgnagy215 I did know seam allowances are included, but I think I just went a bit tilted and added anyway because I thought I might grow out of it. ... I don't know. I panicked?

Tout simplement magnifique ! Votre travail est admirable ! Merci pour cette superbe leçon ! Very best wishes from France!
Absolutely beautiful! Can't wait for the next!
Thank you!
Great Video, can’t tell if it were an advertisement or tutorial as it seemed very rushed. You are a beautiful peacock.

Wow 🤩
That’s some serious spalla camicia going on there. But makes sense with the wings in place.
I love the embroidered on your white coat; does it have a tutorial? Or is it a machine make? I absolutely love the way this coat is going.

Please and filling collar band?
