"kudos to those who wrote these.... They're probably dead now.....but they did a good job!" That made me laugh😂😂

@belindacoba5158 5 лет назад

You don't think you are as pretty as the pictures?... You are even prettier and so talented!! Don't ever think otherwise.

@fozsolaim2751 5 лет назад

right thanks

@ewright8661 5 лет назад

That's what I was thinking when she said that.

@shannonpopesco6704 5 лет назад

I agree

@emarier1 5 лет назад

You sound like you're smiling through a lot of your narration and it's really nice to listen to. I love watching you sew, and the videos where you show your muslin/fitting process have helped me figure out that that's where I get stuck- things don't fit right away and I don't know how to fix it so I give up. I love this series and your channel, love the exploration of older patterns and techniques.

@davidhutchison3343 5 лет назад

The difference between mediocrity and excellence may be as little as 10%. Re-doing the pocket so that the stripes match, whilst only a little step in itself, takes the quality of the blouse to a whole new level.

@SeanMcGuire92 5 лет назад

This is the best visual explanation I’ve ever seen for bound buttonholes! I had a lightbulb moment watching you do it. Thank you for inadvertently teaching me this!

@jaykneegarner2479 5 лет назад

Angela you are drop dead gorgeous both inside and out! You have to stop putting yourself down, even in a joking way! The magic you create with your sewing machine’s has inspired so many people me included! Keep up the good work! Would love to see where the Vogue sewing pattern cabinet landed! Hint, hint!

2 uploads in one week? What did we do to deserve this?

@cheskydivision 5 лет назад

I love how a shirt from 70 years ago can still look in fashion now.. I hope you make an effort to wear this shirt its really nice, style and color wise.

@lizcademy4809 5 лет назад

Saved! For the best bound buttonhole instructions I've seen ... even better than my vintage sewing books.

@k1tkat-kate 5 лет назад

I love this blouse! As much as I love the colours and pattern, I understand it could be hard to match other pieces too. But it looks so great with the slacks and dark lipstick!!!!! Gives off a very military vibe 👌👌👌

@Katerima1 5 лет назад

Yours hair with this hat look amazing! 👌

@pennytennermann1904 5 лет назад

I’m very impressed with your bound buttonholes. Even with many years of sewing experience I tend to avoid those like the plague.

@iggyreilly2463 5 лет назад

As awestruck as I am watching you create these garments, I really appreciate it when you break down the steps and add your own tips and explanations why you do things certain ways. Great blouse, great fabric! You look fabulous.

@kathrynjones848 4 года назад

All of us came into our own at our own place at different times ‼️. Kiddo you have come into your own. You’re talented and cute.💐💐

@skullgryd 5 лет назад

The pattern is lovely and your execution of it was great. I can now see why the bow was added to the design. I could totally see this style of shirt in a light pastel floral print with small or overly large flowers (with ivory buttons with gold accents for some reason lol) Hope you go at this again with the bow for a spring ensemble 😊

Angela every time I watch your videos I learned so much more than I ever thought I could

@angeliccow 5 лет назад

Who gave this a thumbs down? What is there not to like? You inspire me to do better at my sewing.

@amyshort5625 4 года назад

You look like you stepped out of a time machine at the end! Absolutely beautiful!

@ambrosiata 5 лет назад

This is my favorite of all of your blouses so far.

@ABC1701A 2 года назад

I totally agree with you about the pocket, it looks much better with the stripes matching. The only possible alternative would have been the pocket done across the stripes to match the collar and cuffs. Very nice blouse.

@susanlein7849 5 лет назад

Thanks for the video! Made my evening!! I think this blouse would look so pretty and read so differently in a soft, small floral print.

@katecroy 5 лет назад

That fabric is just ... WOW! Love the colors and stripes!

@sinswept 5 лет назад

Absolutely love the full look with the trousers and the blouse together! It looks great on you. I do not quite have the figure for it, but darnit I wish I did..

@emilyallen6657 5 лет назад

Ugh I love this series so much. I’ve watched the 1908 skirt video at least 12 times for reference!

@TheMaYsSA2 5 лет назад

i don't know how to sew and i have no idea what you're saying most of the time but you're so charming and talented i can't stop watching your videos and honestly, you made me so curious about sewing and I'm actually considering taking some lessons now.

@gaylevanesler3970 5 лет назад

You are adorable and a pretty accomplished seamstress which is lovely and inspiring to see in your generation. I didn't read all the comments so I hope I don't repeat something that has already been mentioned, but I only saw one real inaccuracy: you didn't press your pants and blouse. Especially that front pleat down the leg of the pants. Pressing makes the fit look so sharp and was definitely period-accurate! Great job.

@hayleystellabrowne7626 4 года назад

Thanks for showing how to do those backed button holes - I will be trying this out on a future project. I'm a super new sewer (although have worn and collected vintage for years, so I have an appreciation of construction) Really found it useful to see a different process of button holes on a 'historic' blouse! x

@stacyedelprete5477 4 года назад

I've never seen it done, and I don't know if this is a common thing, but I love the fact that you bind with lace. It's the cutest thing.

@thetrapdoor6194 4 года назад

Love the whole look, absolutely stunning. You look like a fabulous detective or reporter.

@ryw6712 5 лет назад

Ah! I loved this video, especially your humorous comments. When you cut the fabric I thought to myself - "isn't she going to fussy cut it?" and THEN later you said it bothered you and so you re-did it to match (both the pockets and the cuffs) LOL. we think the same way. And I think you would look like the pictures if you style your hair that way!

@lunamorte155 5 лет назад

Aahhh I've been waiting for this shirt since the pants video!!

@missladyhawke 5 лет назад

Your blouse would look really cute with a green skirt. Keep up the great work. Loving the videos.

@rosemaryreyes836 5 лет назад

I use weights to hold pattern pieces in place. No damaging holes & tears to my patterns anymore. Try it. Wherever do you find your vintage patterns? I live your tenacity for sewing & recreating history. Keep up the great work!

@suzyqc7607able 5 лет назад

Miss Angela You Are every bit as pretty as Any movie star that ever was. Classic, poised, modest & charmingly beautiful. & It's just a thought, but, you know how many things, like undergarments & all the different pieces of wardrobe bits you've covered? well. There are some I've not noticed you address for example, The pretty blouse you made in this video, you might get more use out of, considering your tastes, if you make a few Detachable Collars, Scarves & Brown, Kacky and linen sashes, bows and vests. Although I am not of that era, My Penn. State Grandmother was 20-40 years old then & Along with the cute bits and pieces you do have like she, there are other things women used to almost "fool" one into thinking one had many more outfits than one actually had..lol And another thing too is that many Many ladies instead of wearing a lined garment were wearing Camisoles very much like the "tank tops" we wear today.. or I do anyhow under some things. Just a thought though not a criticizing correction. I was really just wondering if you'd thought of making pieces like the detachable collars and such.. Thank you for all your whit & charming blog/tutorials. I enjoy them thoroughly.

@ArcherOO78 5 лет назад

That's a very good paring with the pants, in ww2 women sometimes took there husbands pants because of rationing and tailored them to fit in the spirit of mend and make do era .. spot on ! love your work learning more about tailoring

@BrambleBlossom 5 лет назад

Your unicorns are so magical. That explains how you manage to take us on a trip through time without a Tardis. I loved this series and look forward for what's next. Thanks for all your hard work. It comes through in the finished garments. Beautiful!

@christinesteele5716 5 лет назад

The blouse turned out great!! Again you did a wonderful job!

@Braz3nRav1n 5 лет назад

You elected not to put the bow at the neck. You could make a removable one and I think you would find that you use the top more since it would fit your aesthetic a little better.

@LikeFreelySnowflakes 5 лет назад

I absolutely love the style of this blouse, way more then planned. It looks old-fashioned in a very charming way. And they fit you nicely. The series never fails to lift my mood and I' always learning something.

Try adding a removable black and gold beaded Peter pan collar, it will really add a bit of femininity to the outfit

@KlingonPrincess 5 лет назад

Oh! Wear it! You look amazing and elegant in this outfit! You've inspired me to try something more tailored with all the button holes, shoulder pads, etc. Stripes matching so nicely. That whole process would have terrified me. A string of pearls would look lovely. Thank you for all you excellent videos.

@mod-planet 5 лет назад

I applaud you for being able to follow the instructions and actually complete these vintage patterns. I attempted to make a 1940's 2 pc. swimsuit. Got the top completed but then when I got to the skirted bottom I got so confused at one point...I think I redid the sewing on the crotch area 4 times before I just finally gave up - I think there were several pieces of fabric coming together at this point and I just could not wrap my head around it...lol! One day I will revisit this project. I sooooooo wanted a 40's swimsuit! Really enjoying your videos. You have a wonderful ability to choose appropriate fabrics which I find most difficult to do and oftentimes this can either make or break your project! Keep up the good work.
