So cool to get to join you for a week and see what you've been up to! 👀

@saritshull3909 Год назад

It's not likely that I'm going to make a radical career change, since i quite enjoy engineering, but i really do love learning about this field as a hobby. And everyone's videos are amazing to watch whilst I sew or embroider along.

@goldogwolly Год назад

I'm looking into doing a PhD in dress history in the UK, this was very inspiring!

@noran.7376 Год назад

So interesting!! Thank you for the "a week in your life." As you had said in your video, I would think that you would spend most of your life teaching but as someone who works in an American High School, I know that is not the case. Your life is fascinating!!

Found your channel through Bernadette Banner’s post earlier today. Your specialty is of much interest to me.

My sister and i inherited a treadle sewing machine dating from 1913 that we are trying to get back in working order. I have a healthy amount of respect for anyone who can sew using them, as those thing have only one speed: FAST.

@alibabafurball Год назад

I own several Singer treadles and they are as fast as your feet....lol A good practice is to not thread the machine and to sew over the lines in a piece of paper and then try to make perforated stamps. Accuracy is helped by trying to do a line and control is keeping the line. IF you set the belt right, it will sew the right way when you start as you want.

@em8742 Год назад

It's not a singer; it's a white family rotary. Do you know if that makes a difference?

@alibabafurball Год назад

@@em8742 Not for what i was describing, but there is one thing, the Rotary made by White SMC has the hand wheel rotate away from the user rather than towards the operator like a Singer.

What was the podcast called? Ah the traveling sisterhood of Art historians

@ruthboon18 Год назад

I'd love to see what you're term-time week looks like too.

A meeting with Bernadette Banner! 🤩 Wow!

@leilasimon2057 Год назад

An jealous! I went to Snowshill Manor about 10 years ago and went all the way around the house before discovering that the historical dress collection wasn't houses there anymore. Is that a typical amount of out of office time for you, or was it a particularly adventurous week?

@SerenaDyer Год назад

It depends on the time of year/stage in a research project really. Some weeks are a lot more in the classroom/glued to my desk!

@alibabafurball Год назад

I wish i could find information on what the earliest examples of oversg. and zigzag at the moment. Have found the early Singer machines that can do this from Victorian era.

@shevaunhandley1543 Год назад

Sounds like you have my dream job. How did you become a dress historian? What courses did you study to get there?

@SerenaDyer Год назад

My degrees and PhD are all in History or Art History, but there are lots of different ways of becoming a dress historian. Maybe the topic for a future video!

@shevaunhandley1543 Год назад

@@SerenaDyer that would be a fantastic video for those who are interested.

@imaginegigi6001 Год назад

I agree

@moniaqua_on_youtube Год назад

Curious me spots some instrument at 16.24 (and would love to hear it at one point). As a harp can be seen earlier in the video, that instrument in the background at 16.24 is some kind of harp, too?

@SerenaDyer Год назад

Yes! One is a medieval bray harp and the other is a modern lever harp 🎵

@@SerenaDyer Thank you :)

I think an interesting thing a dress historian could do is research where fashion will be in the 23rd or 24th century and use sci fi films and programmes like star trek and star wars as a reference point
