Building my Wardrobe | next projects, historybounding, etc 

I understand your joy. I’m a 60 yr old woman..who loves the hunt for vintage ...and history bounding..AND wearing it on a day to day. Chin chin 🥂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇨🇦

Vintage HAS become very expensive. I am so excited see what you make this year!

I'm doing the exact same thing this year! I had gastric sleeve surgery and have lost over 106 lbs in four months so I'm starting by modifying existing pieces and making a few more skirts

Don't forget scarves and shawls and jackets! Jackets can be upcycled from men's stuff, too.

I’ve found loads of fabric prowling the thrift shops by looking for curtains made with fabrics I like. I deconstruct them, wash the stuff and prep for use.

The struggle with expensive vintage wear is real! I love dressing vintage, but I have to make everything it is just way cheaper . I am looking forward to the pretty things you will make ^^

Witchy Victorian? Are we summoning Bernadette? :D

Looking forward to your future projects. I made a skirt of an 18th century style pattern, and petticoats and I wear it with ordinary modern tops/jumpers. Seriously the best skirt I own, and I made myself some tie-around pockets to wear underneath, big enough for my mobile phone and purse, leaving me hands free with allllll the pockets, and swishy comfortable skirts.

I can't believe I'm just finding your channel just now, but I'm really excited to see your journey for your new wardrobe! I actually am doing the exact same thing for myself! I too am very inspired by Rachel Maksy-shes so creative! I'm sure I will also be even more inspired by your journey as well ☺️

Vests feel very vintage to me and I've got several patterns waiting for me to see if I like them! Extra pockets, you don't need a lot of fabric, versatile, which could be a good fit for the wardrobe project. Also a prevalent staple in Rachel Maksy's wardrobe!

I enjoyed the video. I too am looking to make some vintage style clothes this year. I am drawn right now to quite a few 40’s clothes. I understand what you mean not finding my size. I am a plus size lady. Not 40’s plus size but now American plus size. I never like the way store bought fits so I’ll make my own that will fit perfectly.

My dream is to wear Victorian or Edwardian clothes I absolutely adore both styles .

I have no idea what may be the problem or how it could be fixed, but fixing the loose grate could be as simple as duct taping it down around the edges or something, for your own sanity and the relief of your viewers. We would be ever in your debt.

This is why I want to learn to sew I’m making a 1930s skirt and the video will be on my channel next week, vintage retro is so expensive so I want to make my own so I can historybound by making my own things and thrifting I am excited to see you build up your wardrobe xx

Really looking forward to see what you make. I am also working on making more vintage clothes for my wardrobe because as much as I love the hunt, it's nice to be able to make exactly what I want AND knew that it is going to fit.

I am so excited for all the projects you have coming up!

I've planned a wardrobe with bare minimum for a week use. Take in acount 3 baths a day, 2 outwear/day and 3 rewear for bottoms and 2 for tops (whith slips and removable dress guards thats quite achivable even in hot weather). Slips should be changed every 12 hours. 14 slips Shapewear (bras, bum roll, petticoats as needed) 7 Tops 5 Bottoms 2 Outerwear (24 hours rest before rewear) 2 Shoes (24 hours rest before rewear) 28 pieces + Shoes. Looks achievable. For an easy and cheap version you couls buy jersey knit 100% cotton camisole slips + cotton flanel and cotton crepe and sew you cheap and beautiful wardrobe. If you are going extra go for: Linen bias-cut slips Tops and bottons on quality fabric. My examples are for a summer country: 7 Blouses in combed cotton 300 threads percal or 400 threads egypcian cotton. Four short sleeves, two 3/4 lenght and one full lenght. 5 Skirts made out of linen or cotton. Deep zippered inseam pockets. Sew in interface at the bottoms. 1 Gauze wool overshirt 1 Cotton trench coat Maybe add a silk house robe to suit your fancy. Aprons are a good idea. A very minimalist wardrobe, double the amounts for two weeks. Realistically you would be doing laudry every 3 days. If you want to laundry every week have 2 weeks worth of clothing. It is very important that every piece is of utmost quality in order to ensure long lasting. Even if possible I wouldn't go any less than that since it would put each garment in toi much stress.

Great idea. With your weather you can wear the 1920's to 1940's in spring and summer and the Victorian and Edwardian in autumn and winter. Can't wait for the videos.

Yes to blouses! If anyone knows of a good pattern, I need one for my 8yr old

MARAVILHOSA..........INCRÍVEL...........ESPETACULAR.........

I'd like to make more of own clothes this year too. Watching you and other costuders has really inspired me to get sewing more! Thanks

I really like the look of vintage style clothing without being real ..... cause I like the modern patterns.... really like your look you remind of one of my daughters Americans girls dolls think her name is Samantha

Looking forward to seeing what you make, your enthusiasm is very infectious and great to see!

I can't wait to see what you make.

There is also a easy Victorian walking skirt pattern I found on line, from a book, that is like a panel ( across the hips and wide at the bottom) in front and a half circle in the back with a thin waist band. So it seems like a very quick sewing project for a walking skirt!

That sounds so exciting! I am just getting into the idea of historybounding myself so I can’t wait for the video on the blouses😊

Look forward to seeing it!

That's exciting news, that's how I got into sewing. I could never find vintage pieces in my size-so I started sewing my own👏. I mostly make 40's & 50's styles & incorp. Them into my modern lifestyle....you can follow along with me on Instagram if you want. I have a ton of vintage reproduction & true vintage patterns! I find while thrifting.

lovely stuff

Karolina Zebrowska also has good videos on integrating vintage into your everyday wardrobe. Best wishes to you! Have fun and wear what makes you happy! 💜

What is that super annoying clacking sound that happens randomly throughout the intro?
