About the hooks and eyes on your kirtle: german and austrian Dirndl were sometimes also closed with hooks and eyes, but they were sewn interchanging so that when dancing or in other movements the women wouldn't suddenly stand in their undergarments. So it would be "hook-eye-hook" on one side and "eye-hook-eye" on the other side of the garment. Greetings from Finland😉
This is pretty smart. I think I will try this moving forward. Thanks for sharing
Oh excellent, thank you!
Interesting! I think I've seen it on 19th century folk dresses too. Fun to hear that it was used in other places too!
That is so smart! I just made a note of it that I tucked in a sewing book to remember! Thank you 👍
This is a trick I learned from a ice dance group ((Nutcracker on Ice lol). The bodices were many layers of cotton ducking rather than boning and the hooks/eyes sewn staggered. I've done this ever since on everything.
Where did you go? I miss you're sweet face and simple historical work. I hope you are well.
Hello Elin,
just writing to let you know we love your videos and would love to see more if you could share some with us.
If that's not possible, well life happens, but I'm sure people would appreciate some kind of "sign of life" from you.
Hope you're doing well, sending you hugs from Romania.
Really missing your new videos 😢
Elin, I miss you SO much please come back!!!❤
@Elin Abrahamsson we're eagerly awaiting your next video! ❤️
If you want them even sturdier, lightly tap them with a hammer. As metal is worked it becomes more hard and brittle. Which is why you can snap wire if you bend it too much. That one spot that you've bent it over and over again has become work hardened while the rest of the wire is still malleable.
Often you can "set" a shape in wire by tapping it because the purcussive shocks also work hardens it.
This also works to make hairpins and such and is a common technique in jewelry making.
I'm watching your work again and again, I hope you're doing well. Please come back!
She liked this comment sometime between November 2023 and March 2024! So that's good! I guess that means she's still alive? Hopefully? Elin, if you're reading this, please at least consider putting up a post saying whether you are ok or not, did you get injured or just need a creative break, or run out of time for RUclips? You don't have to do anything but I would like to know how you're doing.
I’ve done a little bit of fashion wire work before, but I’d never even considered making my own hooks and eyes. Thank you for making such an accessible tutorial!
I'm glad to hear it! It was the same for me, but I wonder why, it was so easy!
Hi Elin. Any chance to see you again publishing videos? I really enjoyed your work
*HELLO ELIN* - I hope we get to see a video soon...!!! I hope you are well.
"I'm just taking their instructions"
Or, hear me out here, you are translating them and adding visual aid for those who need it.
Come Back!!!!!*
*If you want of course. I really miss your videos.
Where'd she go???
I don't know! She liked a comment three months ago. There's no RUclips channel like hers. I hope she's okay. @@beccafrankenberry2510
I don't think I've seen anyone who more clearly feels like they walked directly out of the Shire in Middle-Earth to the modern world.
(Minus the big hairy feet, of course.)
Hiya, love your videos, out of interest could you do a video looking more into shoes, accessories and maybe mens clothing in the medieval period.
Whare did you go? I miss watching your videos.
Not that it would be very difficult, but this video was really insightful in that one can actually make their own hooks and eyes. 😂 This would have NEVER crossed my mind. And even if it did, would have thought they can turn out to be messy
But yours look very nice!!
Thank you for this!
In American English, those would either be called needle-nose pliers or long-nose pliers. The ones that cut wire can be called wire snips/cutters or flush cutters. America is big though, so there are probably more names for those tools than what I know.
We call them needle nose pliers in Canada too and wire cutters/snips for the others, I wonder what they call them in other English speaking places
Ah I see! Thank you for this!
@@KathrynsRavens We call them the same thing here in Australia.
Hello! I just found your channel and wow, it's so great! I don't see videos that are more current than one year ago. Have you stopped making new videos? If so, it would be such a shame for your audience. I am just wondering.
Elin, we miss yooouuuuu!!!
More content please!!
If you're struggling with your wire breaking or being too hard to bend, try annealing it by heating it with a cigarette lighter or a blowtorch. This should make it much easier to bend.
Thank you, from Wyoming, for this. It's very helpful to be able to go back and reference.
hello, when will there be something new again?
I hope you will make new videos and tutorials on how to sew historical clothes) I really like it.
You are adorable, and I loved watching you learn to make these hooks and eyes. You did so well, and this video is so easy for others to follow and learn as well! Love from southern New Jersey in the US!
Thank you! How happy that made me☺
Hola,saludos desde Argentina!👋 me gustó ver tu hermoso trabajo!!! Me inspiraste a confecionar!!!
great videos, when are you making some more?
Using 2 pliers, one in each hand, is how I do lots of wire work. One to hold and one to shape.
Watching you learn how to make the hook and eye closures was so delightful! It was so cool watching you go from unsure and nervous to confident and eager to make more!
Hahahhah that's usually how it goes😅
*IN ENGLAND* we call the pointy ones "snipe nose pliers" and the ones that cut the wire "side snips"
EDIT: a "Snipe" is a bird with a very long pointed beak that runs along the edge of the sea poking its beak into the sand for food
In the US we call them needle nose pliers & wire snips. I like snipe nosed! How fun!
I'm English, and I've only ever known them as "needle nose" - but "snipe nose" is much nicer! I'm going to adopt that from now on, lol!
In English, needle nose pliers, and wire cutters. Some people call the cutters snips.
Have you considered using silver wire? I'm not sure if brass is easier to work with or other metals. Great tutorial. I'm usually not a fan of what is available locally for hooks and eyes, but I didn't think about making my own. I may be able to fix some jewelry using this, also. Thanks!
Your attention to detail makes your work so perfect! I mean, who ever thought of making their own hooks and eyes?! Elin, it means so much that you do even these teeny tiny projects to make your costumes as historically accurate as possible! Great work!
Blessings,
Emma 😊
I'm so happy to hear it! I have thought the same before about hooks and eyes, but I wonder why, it was so easy!
@@elinabrahamsson9442 You did great! They add such a nice little touch to your garment!
I love this. It was super cute in your previous video, but on replay this time even more so. I am such a fan and was so thrilled to watch this and go to your little work table with you and watch the making of these little hooks and eyes once more. So delighted by your little Viking ships, adorable analogy. I am inspired to try this. Take care and all the best for what you do next.
Thank you! This is so handy. I used the full video for this tutorial and had to skip back and forward for my pupils. This is much easier to use (by the way, the Dutch word for these pliers are 'puntbektang' for the pointy one and 'zijsnijtang' for the snippy one.)
Thank you, i didn’t know that😅
In the US, we call those “needle nose” pliers. I don’t think we have snipe birds here!
I had heard of snipes in the USA.
I Googled to be sure.
They are not common/well known in most places, but, they are still around
Wow.. really now? I bought a couple of eyes and hooks. But they're silver and shiny and so not what I was looking for. If I had known it would be so easier I would've just made it myself..
Thanks so much for sharing this. I know what I'm gonna be doing next week
Gillar dina videor, ser att du lägger ner tid på att göra edits så bra som möjligt, och resultatet är riktigt bra!
En idé för framtida projekt är empire-klänningar från tidiga 1800-talet. Dvs samma tidsepok som Jane Austen och Bridgerton lol. Vet att Bridgerton är långt ifrån historiskt korrekt, men har själv blivit besatt av vackra empire-klänningar och blir överlycklig varje gång en youtuber lägger upp en "Bridgerton dresses"-video. Med tanke på hur populära några av dessa videor är, så är jag inte ensam om denna besatthet haha.
Du skulle kunna göra flera videor på temat, en s.k. "morning dress"; långärmad klänning för fina dagsaktiviteter, accessoarer, en kortärmad balklänning, kanske en folkdräkt eller t o m en herrklädsel!
Ett marknadsföringsknep du kan ta till är att lägga upp videon i anslutning till när den tredje säsongen av Bridgerton har premiär, då kommer det vara mycket buzz och algoritmen ger dig mycket gratis. Det senaste jag hörde om nästa säsong är att den har premiär "i slutet av 2023".
Hursom, gillar det du gör, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the lovely video. I am not going to make hooks and eyes, but just so you know the video link does not work for me. In the USA. I played around with the website, but it just may no longer exist or not be available outside of SE. I think I went to Skansen, or at least thought about it, when I was in Stockholm. Lovely country.
WOW! I have just learned to make hooks and eyes from watching you! That is so amazing, Elin!! I love your videos! ~Janet in Canada
That's amazing to hear! Thank you😊
Thank you for making this it’s own video as well!!!
Thank you again! I just came back from our local fabric store where I couldn’t find any hooks and eyes. (Sold out?). Completely amazing that this was in my RUclips line up! Perfect timing. 💐🦋💐
Well done, you, for making your own hooks and eyes from scratch. Love your dedication to the total design process.
I will be coming back to this video in the future.

I love how much fun you have with your projects! And the light you have there is absolutely beautiful!
II really do! 'm happy that it shines through😊
Your facial expressions are the BEST! 😆 …and now I’m gonna try making hooks and eyes!!
Jag vill börja sy historiska kläder😊 Vars köper du tyg? (Det finns tex ingen tygbutik vars jag bor)
Needlenose are the thin pliers. Wire cutters are the cutting pliers. :)
Can’t wait for the jacket!!!
"needle nose " and the other is often called "side cutter" or "wire clipper" type pliers"...Thanks for another great video!
This looks so easy! If ever I need only a few hooks and eyes like to close a waistband, I'll for sure make my own.
Wow! I didn't realize it was that simple!
Thank you so much for the tutorial, now I'm dying to try my own!
Missing you
Love it ! Thank you making this video !
This is awesome! Which would you say is easier/more convenient; the hook & eye, or lacing, for women to be on the go and doing chores in?
Hooks and eyes are waay faster to get yourself into. However, lacing can shape in another way and also work even if the wearer changes due to age or pregnancy or other.
You have inspired me to make my own too!
I've tried making hooks and eyes, but, the wire was too soft, or something.
I was just about to look for them and couldn’t find any brass ones in my lokal store! This is so useful thank you soooo much! Loved it😊
Great! Can I repost your videos on another platform?
This is such a lovely idea. I love getting excuses to dip my toes into other crafts.
Well this is something I will start to make myself!
They look wonderfully just like the ones we bye...they still sell them 😎🤗
In the US, the long pliers would be called needle nose pliers.
In the United States they are needle nose pliers, and wire cutters.
Very informative. Thank you 😊
You give me strong Nori from Rings of Power vibes 🥰
Perfectos!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ooooh I love this!!
Thanks so much!!!!!!
Well done!
Elin❤️👌🙋♀️
👍
I'm hooked on your eyes.
You know "parallel" but not "needle-nose pliers"? lol.
I couldn't believe how perfect they looked even though you made them just freehanded, with no tiny tools or anything!
