That photoshop trick to make your own pattern is crazy! I love this I wish there was more historical embroidery content, I always thought black work was kinda boring and this totally changed my mind
Thank you. Very interesting and well done. Just a thought for future--since a few people are red/green colour blind, perhaps a different choice of contrast colours might be helpful to differentiate your threads. Thanks gain for your instructive video.
Yeeeeees. I love everything about this. Esp the bits about burr and Jefferson and Eliza, and about how it doesn't matter about the intention just the result. So the whole video yes 😂 Would totally watch more media analysis if the mood strikes you again!
Ps the company putting on Hamilton in Germany have been putting up little trailers of all the songs, they bring me so much joy so thought you might appreciate too if you haven't seen them ru-vid.com
I had always wanted to do this but had struggled to pinpoint an exact period. I thought it was the tudor era and i assumed ocarina was renaissance but his helped alot.
Bruh this helped me out with a lesson plan on color theory and how it can tell stories. Tazewell (the costume designer), on interviews, has said the color choices were all deliberate and many were influenced by the performances and historical analysis.
I am taking apart a designer skirt I got from my mom. It is nice, but cut in a way that makes it very little compatible with the rest of my waredrobe so I almost never ever wear it, but it got a nice fabric so I am makeing a simple pleated skirt out of it. Plain, no longer fancy and special but way more practical and it will actualy see use that way. Also the cahange allowes for pockets ^^
You seemed to enjoy this new set up so much more. I am with you about not wanting to cover up good skin with foundation make-up and 'good grief!' dealing with perspiration when doing your make-up in the heat!!
My coworkers convinced me to watch this high and I immediately noticed the colors green and purple, so I had to watch this video to make sure I wasn’t losing it lol
I just found you thru Nicole's Secret Santa video and so glad I did. I am beginning to love hand sewing again after many years of hand quilting. I think in these trying times we all need to slow down and breathe. Thank you for your lovely video!
This was a fantastic panel to listen to. I am the mother of an LGBTQ child. I encourage her all of the time and make all of her costumes. She has friends who identify as pan, bi, ace and cis. We love them all and wish that everyone could be a part of a such a loving and accepting community. I hope that one day people will just feel comfortable enough to just understand that we all want to be who we are and be accepted. Thank you all for your insight and wonderful conversation.
** feeling totally called out ** I made sure to get the drawing tablet ( under $50 that has to attach to an android/ netbook) that came with **2** pink/ ring finger/ thumb gloves for my 12 year old for Christmas.
This is the video I have been searching! I know how to hand sew but i have these long curtains to make a hem and a friend borrow me her extra sewing machine. And I still dont want to use it: I will fix my curtains by hand.

This was very informative, and you delivered it very well! My only critique is that you should add examples of what youre explaining so we can get a better picture of it. But awesome job!
Brilliant thumb measuring guide! nice pony breaks, understand the delays, frustrations well! Nice music selections - and I didn't have to keep adjusting the volume.
excerpt from Lady Roxanne's Blackwork Article "Blackwork is black, except when itís not. Blackwork is reversible, except when itís not. Blackwork is a counted thread technique, except when itís not. Blackwork is called ďblackwork,Ē except (you guessed it) when itís not." ...🤣 Your opening description of blackwork reminds me of that quote 👆 Thanks for the introduction to blackwork and a peek into your creative process. I’m just now trying my hand at blackwork - I’m an avid embroider (lots of interest from basic needlepoint to elaborate to crewel embroidery and the art of drawn and pulled threads... I can say that while I agree to some extent that you can “eye” the work, as hard as it is to imagine, there are those of us who work counted stitches on high count linens and yes... really count each stitch out. I think it’d be almost impossible to have a consistent fabric at the end of a project of one didn’t actually count counted work... I really think it depends on the design and expected outcome of the fabric in question.
Very insightful! Would you do a follow up video regarding the contrast of Hamilton’s green suit and Maria Reynolds’ red dress? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
fun colour fact to add another layer when you have a think about Jefferson being put in head to toe purple and also the fact that he becomes the President. In Elizabethan time Queen Elizabeth I banned people who were not of nobility and who had noble titles lower than Earl from wearing the colour Purple. she saw purple as a noble regal colour. she literally fined people just for wearing like one purple clothing item. i just think that's another interesting layer to putt on. and especially as the show featured an actual member of British royalty but they dress him in red.
thank you for this post. This discussion was very meaningful to me. it would take a long comment to detail it out, so I won't, but thank you for the post.
In Norwegian, “blackwork” is always done in a single contrasting colour, but not always black. Black counted thread embroidery on black fabric is considered “whitework” because embroidery in the same colour as the fabric is traditionally most often white on white.
I don’t know how I’ve just found this but wow! I’m super hyped to watch this, there definitely needs to be more discussions about transness in historical costuming and just general crafty communities. Lots of love to you all
Lady Stardust is a fabulous name!!! She should meet my cat, Queen Alice. : D / One thing I tend to say when I'm talking about clothes, whether historical or modern is the phrase "stereo-typically used by..." it helps as a visual reference but you get the idea that is not only used by them. I have a channel about transgender bodies and transition, so sometimes I feel is necessary to say they were/are used in a specific manner, specially for those starting transition, cause we tend to go from one extreme to the other. Trying to find what fits us better, and when something is labelled "male" and we want to "look male" then the label helps us feel more masculine. But at the same time I don't want to go saying "male clothes" cause clothes have no gender. =M=
