History bounding in the works! this channel is meant to be a great big sewing adventure, where I will be making all kinds of different garments from different time periods, with the intent to incorporate them in to my everyday wardrobe. I will take you along with me, where you get to see all of the mistakes and all of the lucky accident and maybe learn something or get inspired along the way.

Not sure if this is the answear to your sizing problem, but if it was about the waistband, it seems the pattern expects you to wear it over corset and the waistband is already adjusted for slimmer waist under the corset
Your video was wonderful! You showed the steps clearly and explained everything so well. This is the first time I have watched your channel and I subscribed!
Without exaggeration; this is one of the best videos on RU-vid. It's not unnecessarily long, the pacing is great, the choice of music is delightful, the content is incredibly helpful and easy to follow, your demeanor is nice, not too hyper but also not too tiring *and* there's an adorable animal. Literally Perfection.✨
This video was really helpful because I’m really new to put linings in my clothes, so this project was really scary for me at first, but seeing how you did it makes me feel a little more confident. Thank u so much and your cape turned out amazing🫶
Even though these are relatively simple, they were done so precicely and thoughtfully that they look amazing. Very very well done, im going to try this method this week
Dear Marie-Louise, after having seen your video, and having the very pattern already, I so very much fancy sewing it myself! I live in NRW, Germany. Thank you so much, your skirt is fabulous! 🙏👍🌈
I love it. It seems so simpler than others I have watched.....I want that exact kind. You look wonderful in it, what a fab fit. I love doing that with the velvet on the outside. Where did you get the pattern? When you made that sound when working with the tape, I had to laugh..I do the exact same sound when getting ahead of myself, or just because...I enjoyed this.
Thank you 😊 I got the pattern on Etsy by a seller called black snails patterns. Sometimes I just get so excited about making things, that I get a step or to ahead of myself 🙈😅
Did you mark and cut the back of the leg too? I did not see you doing it while you had the plastic wrap on. But the later steps indicated that there was a cutting line as well. Sorry if the question is stupid, I try to understand how to replicate the steps.
@@TheHBSeamstress thank you, I did that too after another cut just made sense and after I watched another, similar video - it looks so fast and easy when you do it, but it indeed was a lot of try-on involved, haha - I made a mockup yesterday and next weekend I'll try with the good fabric. Fingers crossed!
I found it on Etsy, I have linked it below :) Ja! den var fantastisk :D www.etsy.com/dk-en/listing/223757931/e-pattern-edwardian-bust-improver?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=bust+improver&ref=sr_gallery-1-7&sts=1&dd=1&organic_search_click=1
The dress is so well made! It'll be just fine in polyester, will save you hours of ironing 😊 I'm also in Denmark and very encouraged by this project! I've sewn clothes from a pattern before but something always goes south 😅
A great video; the only thing that made it a little difficult for me was having to keep changing the volume! If I had it loud enough to hear you clearly when you were speaking, the music when you weren’t speaking was too loud! It may just be to do with my autism and not being good with loud noises, but if you can balance the overall volume a little better it would make your video even better 👍🏻
I'm making this exact same pattern right now and I'm so glad I have you to follow along with. I'm not quite as brave with the hand sewing but I appreciate your attention to detail.
so I googled the iron thing. apparently a lot of women had ironed but they were called "sad" irons because they were so heavy. they were heated on the stove and the handle would become a red-hot. "women's" work certainly was work, back in the day.
Hello! 😊 Your video just popped up in my RU-vid recommendations. I love sewing, too, and I make mistakes still after many, many years as well. 😅 That can be so frustrating, especially when you've sewn the same or similar thing before and it worked out just fine. Hmm, for your frayed sleeve caps: the arm holes won't become wider from this, of course, but you can at least stop the fraying by using a zigzag stitch on your seam allowance. If you use your machine for this, it will clean up the fraying quite well even on such a narrow seam allowance. I don't own a serging machine, so I use this zigzag stitch on every inner seam to clean it up, avoid fraying, and to have a second stitch line that still secures the seam IF the actual seam that holds the peices together should ever tear and get a hole. For some seams I might also use a french seam. Or, if you don't care about a "security" seam and know that your seam won't tear, then you could also fold under the seam allowances separately to each side of your running stitch and machine or hand stitch them under. So that the farbic edges can't fray. But with your very narrow seam allowance on your sleeve cap seams the zigzag stitch might now be the best option. If they keep fraying, you'll eventually get holes in the seam and then there's no intact fabric left to repair it. The problem on the inside of your cuffs is the same, I guess. You didn't secure the fabric from fraying by either using a zigzag stitch on the seams/seam allowances or folding the fabric under and going over it with a running stitch. I watched your previous video and saw how you just cut off the seam allowance on the sleeve edge's piping. I don't know the pattern you used, but maybe that tartan fabric piece that kind of covers the inside of the sleeve's piping was supposed to sit on top of the piping's edge? Uhh, I don't know if I'm making any sense here; it's hard to explain. 😅 I would have first zigzag stitched the piping edges on the inside, then used that extra flap of tartan farbic with all its edges folded under to put on top of the entire inside section of the sleeve cuffs to cover up these seam allowance edges and the piping. If you don't want the stitching from doing that to show up on the outside of the dress, then using a blind stitch by hand would probably do the job. Maybe you could try that if you have some extra fabric left from making the dress, or use a plain green or black piece of fabric. As it's on the inside, it won't be seen, anyway. 😉 Sorry for the long comment. I feel like I'm bad at explaining. But maybe it helps a little bit. In general, I think your dress looks very pretty!! 😍👍 Aaaand the puppy is adorable! 💗
Thank you for your recommendation 😊 I will keep that I mind if I ever make this dress again. 😉 And yes, I think I made the inside of the cuffs wrong as well, maybe I just didn't understand the directions and just went for it 🙈 I tend to do that. 😅 The pattern I used is from black snails patterns.
@@TheHBSeamstress I haven't heard from that pattern company. But I swear, sometimes pattern instructions are SO confusing, it's no wonder that we keep making mistakes. 😅 As for myself, I make the funniest mistakes even WHEN the directions are okay. Like, sewing a sleeve on with the seams on the outside, just because I don't pay attention or sew late at night when I'm already half asleep. 🤣
Stumbled on this channel, so awesome that you get to work at a large theater creating custom costumes. Congratulations, I hope a year later it's been fulfilling so far!
