Love your sewing patterns so much ❤ Would you ever consider doing a vintage hair tutorial for long hair btw? They tend to be tailored more towards short, and yours is just perfect 😍
Just discovered the machine that was my MIL's (Miss ya Mama Betty! RIP) is from 1963. I absolutely can't wait to start my new sewing adventure on a vintage machine (once we get it serviced because it hasn't been used since the 90s). I don't leave the house without a corset, and I've been wanting to make one specifically for me since I've just been buying off the rack, so this is a good place to start! Perfect timing!
I’ve made a few Victorian corsets and can’t wait to try the waist cincher. I’m thinking it can be modified to have a front busk. I like the ease of getting in and out front opening stays.
I love the fact that you have foundation garments!!! I can't wait to get started on them!! I do have a question though - How do you stretch out the Bohin pin cushion wrist band? I have had mine for 2 years, and it is so tight I can't wear it! It's a shame too, because it is quite lovely!
I think it’s the hairstyle reminding me of your Bettie bangs but you look so old-school-blog-Gertie in this video! ❤ Love the new Foundation patterns!!
I'm pretty sure the primary difference is going to be sizing/measurements. The original pattern was published with Butterick's sizing which doesn't extend as far as Charm's does.
Thanks for asking! The new Foundations Waist Cincher is in Charm's full size range (2-34) and is designed to fit with the appropriate amount of negative ease. Butterick's block is very different from Charm's, and they added extra ease (which means the B6643 won't cinch in the way that the Foundations Waist Cincher is designed to. The design of the Foundations Petticoat has a yoke plus 4 tiers, and each tier is designed for organza or chiffon. The B5630 petticoat only has 2 tiers, designed with tulle or nylon net in mind. There's a few other minor details, but if you're looking for real vintage-style fluff, the Foundations Petticoat will deliver!
This is such a great tutorial. Is there any reason you can't use the burrito method to sandwich the seam allowances when adding the second side panel and the back panels?
I wish I could wear waist cinchers! I have a rib deformity that makes them flare out at the bottom, so I can't really get much if any compression of my midsection around them. Beautiful work!
I know I'm really late to the party, but 💚❤I love all the movies that you are looking at for fashions at Christmas/ in Christmas movies I just wish they had more movies with fashions like these and also patterns of these clothes. Sorry but I am really in love 1930's-1950's ❄🎄❄Thank you for sharing all these🤶
Love your videos! I'm attempting this project today, thank you! Only thing Id add is the finished product, I look forward to it, to match my project with yours to see if it looks similar 😂
Omigods! I just bought your books, and I'm so excited to get sewing, but also TERRIFIED. The only sewing machine we have is my MIL's (RIP, Mama Betty) old Singer and it is in dire need of servicing. So, I have to hand stitch. That's fine, it's just slower. I've done that before. But, I'm plus-sized, which means, of course nothing off-the-rack looks good on me. (And, I want to get away from fast fashion.) I guess I'm scared everything will still look terrible since my skill is so low, even though this time period is fantastic for my curves. (My corsets don't hurt.) I'm just saying, you inspire me to at least try. You make it feel achievable and uplifting. You project so much "You Got This" when you talk, and that's so comforting. Thank you so much!
Just finished this dress after taking a haitus from sewing for many years. This video made it so easy to make a beautiful and professional dress. I learned about so many new sewing techniques. I cannot wait to make more Maria dresses! :D
I know this is an older video, but I wanted to vocalize how much I appreciate your videos and the calmness of them. I also appreciate that there is no additional music, I can clearly hear you. The silence is welcoming in between directions. Thank you for not cramming noise in just for the sake of noise. Also, I've been searching RU-vid for a year for a sewing educational series that is sufficient for my learning style. I found you a week ago and putting your tips, instructions, and practices into place had already had visible impacts for the better on my sewing. Thank you for what you do ❤
On making the skirt, cutting the skirt out shoulders be done so that the skirt is hanging with the warp of the fabric, NOT the weft. It will hang much better and not "poof" out.
Thank you Gertie for a great & honest video. Really enjoyed it & was very educated. My Gran used to say if you want to look glamorous on the outside don't worry about the underneath just wear the underwear that works.. In the UK we call big knickers "apple catchers" . Always made me laugh but it's so true 😂
gorgeous!! THANK YOU for modeling the finished dress! i really wanted to see how it turned out in that beautiful print fabric, and the dress does not disappoint!
I have 3 of your books. I bought them for myself for my bday. I’m almost ready to get started. A few questions…. 1. I am 2 seperate sizes so an 18/20 on top but a 4-6 on the bottom. How would o do this? Separates, that’s east to figure, but I want the whole cute dress. How would I do that.. 2. How do I determine how mmuch material to buy? 2. Can you make a video on making the undergarments? I’d love to make my self things to fit.
