Popping in here to let you know that I’ll be on a little 2-week hiatus from regular Saturday uploads, as I’m headed back to England in December! Which means that the next two weeks will be focused on finishing up sewing projects and filming lots of things to take with me so that hopefully we can keep on schedule whilst my attention is momentarily fractured across projects for the next two months. :)

@fionakaiser9870 4 года назад

Bernadette Banner perhaps you can do more small vlog stuff. Perhaps do more stuff like the american duchess hair styling. Or perhaps some Shopping? Be sure to bring books!! I find that one can always finish at least one book on a long flight. Or perhaps if you wanted to sew, get some audiobooks. The app overdrive or hoopla is connected to libraries and you can check a few out at a time. Many people think that audiobooks are cheating, but as a librarian I say it’s not. One is still putting the time into the book all while often doing other productive things.

@EeeDee1 4 года назад

Do you have a link to where you bought those beautiful torchiere lamps? I would Yelp a handy man and have him use a circular saw to trim the two pieces of tabletop to fit. Another idea is to replace the dresser knobs (at least the visible ones) with ones that are Victorian-ish such as these www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SBBS4/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_Q3t2DbZD950XP

That sounds wonderful! I sincerely hope you manage to do all that you set out to in those two weeks Since you obviously like Terry Pratchett, I must ask; have you, or are you planning to read Good Omens? I think you would really enjoy it! You could most likely find a copy quite easily while you're in England, since it is an entirely British book. Maybe have a look around for it if you're interested!

@historysquirrel 4 года назад

Hi there! I'm actually in the middle of this video, but had to immediately pause it when you got to the historial booklets you have stored in plastic bags! I used to work in an archive for a castle that had a LOT of historical books, and you must never ever store them in plastic because it can create its own little atmosphere in the bag which causes moisture and mold. Store them in a box made of acid-free white card. This allows them to 'breathe'. Don't want those beautiful pieces to be spoiled. They're wonderful!

My passion for cleaned out glasses (changes if they are from jam, smoothies or pizza sauce) goes so far that I even keep those which are full of dried paint because I use them as water containers when they're still clean and pretty. I like the effect dried watercolors give on their rim. And I always feel like a strange person for loving old books and being passionate about medieval handwritten manuscripts. I study German and literature in general and I am so proud about our wide history when it comes to the roots of our language and culture. When I was in London earlier this year and stopped by at the British Museum I spent little eternities in front of medieval manuscripts, astounded by the craftsmanship.

Dear Bernadette, congratulations on your sewing room! I've been watching your channel in envy for quite a while now and while I am in no way a creative person, you've inspired me to make my very own clothing item: a simple circle skirt. I do not own a sewing table, a dress form, measuring tape, patterning paper, a sewing machine or even an iron (basically: I own nothing crafts related). I used some historical techniques explained by you to get around these barriers. I bought some cheap fabric, some needles, many pins and some thread and just went for it. My skirt is definately more mock-up quality than a socially aceptable project, but I am nontheless very pround of myself. Thank you for giving me the motivation to produce at least one item of clothing for myself rather than just buying everyting. This project would not have happened without you! And yes: it has pockets :)

@@christinevr7698 I would advice you to plan a small project (such as a circle skirt or a cushion or something) and figure out what you would need. When you figure out the measurements just go to a fabric store or fabric market and look around. You don't even have to buy anything if you don't feel inspired enough. If you have your materials just don't overdo it. Never spent more than a couple of hours a day, because you will get sore and frustrated. Also remind yourself that your first project is suposed to be 'ugly' so keep going to make sure your first project contains most of your beginner mistakes.

Another fun fact: There's a muscle that runs diagonally across the front of your thigh, from the outside of your pelvis down to the inside of the knee. It's one of the muscles that moves your leg into position to sit cross-legged. It's called the sartorius muscle, from the Latin "sartor", which means "tailor".
