      Stop! One minute! - I'm always happy to watch your movies and admire your projects, but I have to refer to what you showed in the last part of this movie, how you planned the cuts of the fabric - the latter in stripes :) This is wool as far as I remember. all materials, except those with a plain weave - they cannot be used to cut parts of one garment in two different directions. On fabrics such as velvet, it is obvious, but in the case of cloth or fabrics made of worsted wool, the hair always runs in one direction. If you ignore this rule, it may be that the two different parts of the skirt or jacket will have a different shade depending on the lighting. To check this, place or hang the material so that you can see it in natural light "both ways", next to you. It would be a pity such high-quality fabric. Best regards, I am second to all your projects

They took that feedback and had us make the SAME AMOUNT of projects but moved some of the deadlines to an *earlier* date.

      @@KM-rt5jj No. Fashion then was not just some new trends that many people like. Fashion was an analogue of decency, so that no woman who belonged to a decent society could ignore it.
      And if in the 1850s everyone wore crinolines, in the 1870s-1880s bustles, then the debutantes did the same. And I only mentioned two periods, but in fact in the 19th century in each decade there was a different silhouette of dresses and different fashion.

    Bernadette: "Starting 7 projects at once is probably not a wise decision"
    Me: *both laughing and crying under my pile of crochet projects, embroidery and cross-stitch, and sewing projects* I bought 13 skeins of yarn yesterday. Some of it was mulberry silk and expensive. Is this what insanity feels like? Because I keep looking at Ravelry patterns.

I'm trying to get as much done while this wave of interest is still strong, just so I can say I finished things for once!

      Ravelry is an amazing resource, a real example of the best uses for the Internet. But goodness, it's sooo easy to get lost in the possibilities...my ravelry favourites list of things I'd like to try making is at least a mile long! Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

      @@PonderingStudent It IS an amazing resource. I always get so excited looking through all of the vintage patterns. The fact that they are still accessible and useable. The oldest pattern that I've used so far was from 1915, and I've been eyeballing a ladies' yoke cape from 1904 for a long while.

    I love how spacious your new place is. That dark stripe for the 3 piece suit is great. I am so excited to see your new projects come into fruition. I love have 1/2 a dozen projects of more in the works. As I come to a snag on one, I can move onto the next one and so on. Glad to see I am not the only one who must do all the projects in my head at one time. Going to be a lovely, productive summer.

    Keep coming back to this vid during my own sewing escapades. Very lovely to see that I’m not the only one who has this many projects going at once. Currently on my back on the cold floor because cutting out the hat I’m working on has done in my crooked lower back, and the anemia isn’t helping. Thank you for giving me the most wondrous distraction yet again!

    Your filming and editing skills have evolved in a new direction in this vlog - I love it! Also, could you please not tell my monkey brain to start all the projects I desperately try to keep for later because there is so much to do right now? Thank you XD PS: I got my patterns of fashion 5 book yesterday - possibly the only one in Germany on sale - and was so thrilled to see the detailed documentation of garments.

      You absolutely can! I admired Bernadette for a long time and I recently bit the bullet and acquired an antique sewing machine (absolutely not necessary) and decided on a project for myself. I have never sewn anything in my life besides non-medical face masks. I’m currently in the process of stitching some lace on my Victorian chemise by hand. Do the thing! I believe I’m your abilities!

      @Rebecca E. Webber I live in Ireland, and a lot of girls' schools wear kilts, or plaid skirts. I don't know if it's a proper kilt so to speak, but it fastens with buckles and safety pins, so it might be? My school did recently switch to skirts in the same fabric, but a lot of people still wear the kilt.

    "laying my pattern pieces on top of the yardage" Sometimes that is the only way to figure out what will work. In my checkered past, I constructed quite a few garments as an SCA seamstress where the patterns were created by looking at artwork from the desired period. The laying out of the pattern pieces was always the process. I absolutely LOVE the in the workroom VLOGS!

      Indeed it is. Just because the area is large enough doesn’t guarantee that it will work out geometrically. The only way to find out _that_ is to try it.

    I love the work room videos. I learned to sew from ladies who were born in the Edwardian Era. And they were taught by ladies sewing in the Victorian Era. My grandmother posed for photos in the 1880s and 1890s. Beautiful inset lace blouses and black walking skirts. And perhaps some split skirts as she drove to work in her personal single hitch trap. A beautiful lady who blessed her daughters and grand daughters with thick brunette hair and lovely complexions. And she was an accomplished seamstress by hand and with an 1890s treadle. In the 1950s, I learned to sew on a similar treadle. As I watch your videos. I see so many skills I learned between ages 5 and 10. I love your content!!!!!
