I'm Caitlin! I'm a seamstress and costumer who loves cottagecore, vintage, thrifting, and making my own clothes! Join me for some sewing, costuming and other miscellaneous adventures! I upload every other Monday!
Thank you so much! I used seed beads for the netting and goldwork bullion thread for the sun rays! If you want to know more about it @amazoniancosplay has a great video on goldwork!
For winter dresses my preference is for a fully lined bodice ... warmer and the facing always stays in place. I do this by cutting the entire bodice out in the lining , for corduroy I would use a smooth fabric lining .
I enjoyed this so much I only wish you’d stretched out the crochet quietly more! I loved crocheting along with you on my Claire from Outlanders shawl lol! Glad I found your channel
Having done some natural dyeing, I’ve learned that it’s so important to properly mordant your fabric. For cotton, you need alum acetate. Silks almost always produce a more saturated color, use alum mordant on silk and wool. Also, you need a specific amount of mordant for how much fabric. It’s a percentage of the WOF (weight of fiber). Done properly, you can achieve beautiful results! And colors can be shifted after dyeing. I shifted red cabbage fabrics to teal as well as a nice purple using vinegar bath for one, baking soda bath for the other. There is so much on the internet, if you decide this is something you want to explore more . Have fun!
Hi! The fabric I was using was actually mordanted with alum already! I've also experimented with other types of mordant like soda ash. I just didn't include it in the video cause it was sort of boring visually! Have a good one!
Hello! I discuss how I pattern the basic beret more in my Autumn berets video and I would just add extra pieces of felt on top for syrup and butter! Hope that’s helpful!
Hi! This is a vlog style video and is not a tutorial. I'd be happy to talk anyone through what I did but my video wasn't intended to teach anything. Hope that helps!
Я не понимаю по англискому языку. Но я поняла только слово по русскому языку - это кокошник. Кокошник - это русский женский головной убор. Спасибо Вам что уважаете Русскую народную одежду
Would you ever be willing to make one of these for a paying customer? I am trying to dress my 8 year old as Samantha for Halloween and cannot find this dress anywhere!
I'm new to sewing, I have made a few things but how do we know what you are cutting or what your doing, cutting this for the hem?? cutting this for the collar, I mean we just have to guess what your doing. I would like to learn from you but this is making hard to follow along.
USE YOUR FREE ARM for that inner seam, girl! This is where the free arm comes in soooo handy and is often overlooked. ANY tight curves, make use of this!
So fun! I love your colors! I just finished my first patchwork skirt this week and it was so fun. I am not an exact person either tho and new to sewing so it turned out messy but I loved it! I'm going to do a purple one next I think. :)
Is there a reason you pull up the roots? I'm in the UK and have always cut the leaves which means the plant can keep growing. Is it invasive to Michigan?
Hi! I pulled them up for taste mostly! I used them sort of like cloves of garlic. They were on my family's property and I was the first one to harvest them maybe ever honestly. It grows extremely prevalently in that area and I pulled them up very spread out and only in super thick patches to ensure that the ecosystem was not affected and there's plenty of them for next year! In areas with more than just a single person foraging and fewer plants present, I would've just taken the leaves!
@@CaitlinAnderson ahhh! Somehow I didn't expect the roots to be like garlic too. (Duh!) Thanks! I love using wild garlic. This year we chopped it fine and froze it in Tablespoon size chunks and my husband also did a big kilner jar of lacto-ferment to preserve it.
This is amazing!! Samantha was my absolute favorite. I loved everything about her era plus I looked just like her, bangs and all. As a girl in the late 80s, there were only the 3 historical dolls in the catalog. I begged for Samantha but only got her books. When I told my husband the story, he surprised me with Samantha for Christmas one year. Now my two daughters are into AG so of course we had to get them original pleasant company Kirsten and Felicity. We’ve started collecting their outfits and I’ve thought about putting together outfits inspired by their collections. Your dress is next level! When I was a kid, you could order outfits to match your doll. It was amazing. Wish AG still did this.
Thank you so much! I wish they still did the matching outfits as well! I had a matching set of pjs with one of my dolls and it was the most exciting thing ever to me!
