Sewing is not a cheap hobby when we factor in our hourly rate. 😉 Loved the bias cut yoke tip (if you can spare the fabric) and history lesson. Congrats on making the perfect tailored shirt and opening your Patreon account. Both wonderful accomplishments.
Thank you for the kind words. I find myself often asking "but why is it done this way" when I make things and so I'm doing more research with makes lately. I am glad that this interest is translating as appreciated information.
I made a track suit all hand sewn… with all the work done worth 1500$ haha…. And recently made a waxed cotton canvas coat… easily another 1000 if not 2000$… it feels nice to be able to afford custom clothes hehe… ;)
@@CorneliusQuiring very wealthy bunch hehe… yeah it is kind of fun and sometimes even more gratifying to hand sew clothes for yourself… I also made a safari jacket also hand sewn I have the videos on my channel if you want to have a look and judge the quality haha… ;)
I may be a smidge biased here, but I think I've got a great logo / label going. Tehehe. Thanks for watching and for the kind words. Let's inspire each other :)
Watching your videos reminds me why i gave up sewing garments but also why proper fit is so important. You make me see its workable and maybe ill try again.
Your task organization skills are inspiring and I am in awe of your knowledge of the functional and aesthetic properties of garment construction. Your shirts look "store bought." Well done!!
Thank you. I've been making more of a conscious effort to share the aspects of sewing and clothes that are of interest to me, so I'm happy to hear that it's translating.
Really like the bias cut yoke. I also very much like your shirt design/cut, although I deeply don’t like too curved seams on the sleeve/armhole. As in, while I also like when it hangs nicely, it also oftentimes restricts your movement. I am working on my own patterns at the moment (finally getting there, you are a big boost of motivation for me) and adding a lot of gussets everywhere, in every joint, to keep my full range of motion just like I have in a close fitting knit baselayer. Then again, therein lies the true beauty of bespoke work, either contract or diy based. You always get what you want, and you can improve the work incrementally in this process.
Amen! The beautiful thing about making clothes is that we can each customize to our own desires! What you're doing sounds unique and interesting and comfortable! I unfortunately design my clothes with my eyes first. I always have a look I'm going for :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts and watching the video.
Amazing shirts! Love the tag, really nice touch! One tip, and you probably figured this out by now but you're not really supposed to use those cones of thread like a spool - they're too heavy and don't turn smoothly, so unwinding the thread will have inconsistent tension, and you'll have to readjust tension between different threads more. Cones are meant to be used with a thread stand like on your server where they unwind upwards, and this should minimize twisting too. You can use (or make) a thread stand for your home machines, just skip the spool holder. Or use one on your server and put it close to your lockstitch.
Nice shirt! Very useful exercise to do for everyone who makes things, or wants to buy handmade items. Also an excellent perspective on what clothes actually cost.
Indeed. We live in a world where it's become so easy to manufacture things that we can take for granted the effort that can be required (and what it's worth). Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.
@@CorneliusQuiringYes people do take for granted the effort, skill, and time required to make things by hand. I know, I crochet and people think they can buy my doilies for $2,99. They forget that to sell handmade items a person should follow the formula of pricing. Take the amount you spend on supplies, and triple it; take the time you spend on the item and figure an hourly wage comprable to job rates; add up amounts and multiply by 10 .percent for the skill, 10 percent for talent, and then 10 percent for passion. By the time I do that, the $15 I charge doesn 't seem like such a bad deal. People just don't underdtand.
Loving this! I've been wanting to make my own button-ups, because like 99% of off the rack one's never fit right. So inspirational! Been doing Medieval style tunic based shirts so far. Looking forward to drafting my own top soon!
I've never had much luck with the bias yoke using modern patterns -- it seems like the seam at the bottom of the yoke sits at the place I most need the extra stretch -- and the seam, obviously, doesn't stretch at all! Then the pleat offers ease down low where I don't really need it. I have tried making an extra-tall yoke, that ends closer to my armpits -- and that is very comfortable in terms of range of motion, but it's not exactly a classic look.
Interesting. Well thank for sharing your experiences. There really is no one size fits all solution in this world. :) I am brainstorming here: what if you made the bottom of the yoke one large chevron? That mnight give you a bit of leeway. Another thought is using a zig-zag stitch on the bottom seam of the yoke. I use that around my t-shirt collars as it offers more give as I pull it over my head. Either way, I hope you eventually solve this problem for yourself.
Great video and nice job on the shirt. I quibble with your economics as you are comparing apples (your web designer rates) to oranges (garment rates (either hourly or piece work)). I imagine too that the production rates (for someone that could make this stuff with their eyes closed) are vastly different. But no matter how you figure it, the end result is something rather priceless: a sewing/fitting skill learned, and the satisfaction of having a custom-tailored shirt.
You bring up a great point about cost and a rabbit hole I went down making this video. What if I had made twice as many shirts? Does the cost come down because I'm increasing volume but not double the time. How about using a premade pattern? Or an old pattern. This video taught me how nebulous "cost" is and in the end, I just figured I'd compare apples to oranges and move on :) Thanks for sharing your thoughts, bringing up valid points and for watching. Happy Sewing.
I'm not 100% sure what you're asking, but do you mean are there 2 layers of fabric I use for the yoke? If that's the case, no, I use just the one on the bias like that.
2.12 What is this list? Love your work. Also, I like that you do your own editing. your attention to detail is also great. My problem is that once I have done something once, I never want to do another one. Time to move on. I really need to slow down and enjoy the repetition. No, really. What is the list at 2:12?
That's my daily time tracking. I keep a log of all my work that I can do to see how efficient I am, is it worth my effort, etc ... Also, for billing clients.
Question for a beginner. Do you recommend starting with an old vintage singer machine? Say, if it were 70-100 years old. Or better to get a basic new one? Thanks, enjoying the channel 👍🙂
My criteria would be the following to decide which to get. 1. Is it sturdy / well built? 2. Does it do the basic functions well? (sew in a straight line well? Can I adjust the stitch length? Adjust the press feet pressure? Zig-zag stitch?) 3. Reasonably priced? 4. Is simple maintenance straightforward? I hope that helps you make a more informed choice. I'm still using the very first one I ever bought for $60 many years ago, based on the above.
While you may not need all the bells and whistles of a "fancy" machine, the optional accessories some offer may leave you room to grow. I just got into sewing, and snagged a mid level, hardly used, machine, and it has a few really helpful features(built in needle threading is awesome). You might look out for a local place with classes and try out a machine to see if you'd appreciate those things.
I think that more expertise and experience would bring those prices down simply because hours would be cut down (and obviously one would not spend and bill 20 hours on recording and editing a video recording of the process for a customer). I just checked pricing here in the NL and one can get an entire bespoke suite for somewhere around 1400,-
That's why professionals charge by the project (and ultimately, by the client) rather than an hourly rate. 😁 Ever hear about Paula Scher's 5-minute CitiBank logo for *$1.5m*? (In 1998 dollars.) That's 5 minutes PLUS her decades of design experience! (Also based on the company's net worth, and benefit of the rebrand for them.) Imagine if she'd charged by-the-hour! 😆 So yeah, experience and expertise should increase the price, not lower it because it takes less time.
As a comment on this video, I would like to tell you an ancient story out of my life: Many decades ago when I studied, one class was "Descriptive Geometry" (to train our spatial imagination) with a very old-fashioned professor who came to his lectures in a white smock and everything seemed like something out of old movies. As homework we had to draw geometric problems, for example a conic section. The requirement was: Use an extremely hard pencil and a soft cardboard paper of a very expensive quality! If you manage to solve the task without flaws, the result would looks very beautiful - almost a work of art! BUT: This combination of pen and paper is unforgiving - it cannot be erased - every line has to be right straight away! 😰 Of course you make mistakes and have to throw away the expensive paper ... $5 each sheet. 😱 For a student at that time, this was a catastrophe and almost financially impossible. ☠ When asked about this, this professor said: "The real exercise is not geometry. Instead, you should learn to appreciate the value of your own work! To solve the geometry problem, how many hours do you sit at the drawing board for practice drawings? What is the value of this time of your life? And then $5 material costs are too much for you to clearly draw the finished solution?" I learned a lot from it for my life! I've been sewing for some time now. Not really clothes (yes, shorten, make narrower, ...), more sails, tarps, tent repairs and other outdoor stuff. I don't skimp on good yarn and quality needles! 🪡 Of course, most of it would be cheaper if I just bought it. Why repair it when it's so cheap to buy new in China? But when I have repaired it myself, when I have sewn new things myself, it fills me with pride and gives me a joy every time I use it that money cannot buy. 😊 (even joy at having taken on the bloody job of unraveling an entire seam 😡 in order to sew it again and then properly) And yes, I am aware that all the things I sew are freakin' expensive...if I charged myself. P.S.: I like your "weird" style of videos and especially your (historical) research into why something is the way it is. 🙂
Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. It's great to get to hear from the folks, like yourself, watching my videos. That professors had great lessons to offer, it seems :)
Interesting. neat video. I think it's sorta cheating to add the filming and editing into the 'cost' for the shirt, since that was for this video, not for the shirts themselves. And now that you've got the pattern personalized for yourself, the first 3 line items would basically amortize over any further shirts you make from the pattern. Regardless of those quibbles, very nice looking shirt. Would be neat to see it in some bright jewel tones, like a nice blue or green. (This is the 2nd video I've watched of yours...)
Yeah, you bring up a fair point about adding in the video time. I was conflicted about it when I made the initial video. Thank you for watching and indeed, one in every colour and then some would be great. If only I could have 25 hrs a day :)
I agree. Overlock makes seams unnecessarily bulky and work overall slower, adds whole odd operation. Even on the more problematic fabric it's not realy neccessary to serge , except some extremely elastic or knitted ones, mainly for final side seams. In my opinion for perfect stright and narrow stitches this wide zig-zag presserfoot is not the best one option, even may be the worst one. Only the buttonholes and the buttons should be sew with other machine than simple lockstitch - talking about the shirt. Or they could be done handmade. :-) Pattern self-fitting ~good, symmetrical cuff head sometime serves enough. Collar and collar stand are makers choice, there is planty to play with.
Buy muslin...or thrift store sheets to make a mock up first. Good fabric is too expensive to make mistakes I like your style of teaching because I caan easily follow along.

French seams.

Love your work but hate your music choices...
Thanks for watching despite the music :)
@@CorneliusQuiring Thank you for your friendliness. Please excuse me being that bold in criticizing your tastes.
Actually can't wait till you get on with the coat for your capsule collection project. Hope it would turn out to be a nice padded waxed (or woolen) chore coat.
Oh wonderful. I too am very much looking forward to the coat. I am thinking it's going to be nice wool overcoat.
I love your videos, I do have difficulty hearing you, you go from a whisper to strongly projected volumne. I don't like constantly adjusting the volumne. Dramatic effect in my opinion deters from your presentation.
I am glad you like my videos and I appreciate the feedback. I will certainly consider it.
That’s called dynamic range fyi
