sleevils are indeed evil. I have been sewing both 16thC and 1940s sleeves for almost 10 years now, and I still struggle with then! Right now my tendency is towards making the hole at the army scye just too round, leaving me with no movement in the arm. And yes, I am also in the fake-shift camp when it comes to slashed sleeves. As I work mostly with Netherlandish 16th C garb, I know that the shift under their clothes had a tight sleeve, so any puff that is pulled through the slashes must be additional fabric. i dunno how those Italians managed to cope with a stupid amount of camica fabric PLUS the faux camica coming through the slashes!
Man, I feel this video on a deep level. I CANNOT make a garment with sleeves and not sew something backwards, inside out, or upside down. And the buttons look great!
Your work is beautiful! I discovered the world of historical costume this past summer and I wish I could eat, sleep, breathe it… Got my very first dress form set up today, actually. It’s a whole new world for me!
I haven't seen any of your posts before and I really enjoyed this one. I suspect you even have dreams (nightmares) on sleeves. It might take a while but I think you'll eventually work it out, I think your determination will get you there. Your work is beautiful and I'm envious of your skill.
Didn't they pin things together all the time, there was a huge pin making industry going in the 15th and 16th century in England, they still pull pins out of the mud in the River Thames in London. Women worked for 'pin money'. Elizabeth the first, was daily pinned into her clothes, and people still talk of their underpinning, meaning their underwear.
Yes. I just don’t like getting poked a lot, and it’s hard to pin sleeves on myself. So the choice for hooks and eyes is more practical. But in terms of it being a common practice yes. With help and lady’s maids.

I don’t know either lol. It’s quite annoying. What people have done for fashion is astounding lol

Love the enormous effort you put into your project AND this video/channel!! Super underrated
Oh those buttons are beautiful. Who knew they made them like that. We’ll done you. I must say you have the patience of a Saint
''You can overcome them, mostly by chosing something already'', and THAT is what my brain refuses to do with most things 😅👌
I recommend a dart board lol

Love your humor and personality! So wonderful. I'm laughing and moaning in sympathy at the same time if that's possible. Thank you for being you.
Вы восхитительная ❤. Очень мало людей способны настолько заморочиться. Удачи! 🌸🌸🌸
