I LOVE this outfit! From my perspective the jumper is extremely flattering on you! However, if it feels off to you, then that's that. If I saw you out in public wearing this, I would be so charmed by how adorable you looked!

@AngelaClaytonCostumery 4 года назад

@gigirivers1447 4 года назад

I would be interested in the bone storage. Also everything else. Not to mention as horrible as it sounds it's good to know someone as amazing as you has those days. You could make a video about how you overcome those issues and keep yourself motivated!

@JoiIsakYT 4 года назад

Gigi Jordan same I also like seeing how things can commonly go wrong so the rest of us novices or self taught beginning sewers can avoid mistakes and learn things and also not feel so bad when we mess up or things don't turn out like our shiny Pinterest dreams make us think they will.

I'm early in the video where you are talking about fails. I hope you eventually include the fails in future videos (when you remake those items) or as a series. I think it's good for those of us who are seamstresses to see and learn from the fails as well as from the successes. I watch your channel because I enjoy all of your content but also because I learn a lot from your projects. Just wanted to throw that out there. :-)

@rockinrileys5678 4 года назад

I agree. Until I started watching you I had never even heard of a French seam, now I do them all the time, especially with my daughter's solo costumes - lots of silky materials. Thank you for showing the steps and when it goes wrong for you, you come across so positive when it does then I ever am.

@hannahvanert2398 4 года назад

Same! As someone that is learning the “theory” behind the construction of garments, having someone work through how they deal with experimentation and finding the correct fits and silhouettes would be so helpful!!

@samiuseliina 4 года назад

Yes this please

@AngelaClaytonCostumery 4 года назад

I definitely will, at least for some of them! I just finished my second attempt at the hoopskirt and I plan on sharing what went wrong and what I did differently the second time around. I think talking about how to resolve, or get past mistakes is really important because everyone makes them! Sometimes though, it's just better to cut your losses. Spending a few days on something that ends up unwearable can be really discouraging - and then devoting more time into editing a video about the project can feel really unproductive. Even if people would watch it.

@amandahutchison5360 4 года назад

I think both garments are beautiful, that dress looks beautiful on your figure

@merindymorgenson3184 4 года назад

I’d like to see the boning storage bag. I mean, since you have the footage anyway. . . . . Also, when you said, “I hate floppy facings!” I muttered, “hmmm, indeed!” I apparently still have minor hang ups about home made garments from when I was a child, even though I didn’t have many home made garments as a child, because when I recently made little A line shirts for my daughters, I finished the pocket inside edges, as well as tacking down the inner facings as I clearly remember the annoyance of having a facing fly up in my face and trying to find items in my pocket and everything in my pocket getting caught on the frayed inside edges of my pocket. Anyway, so many things I don’t remember from my childhood and that’s what sticks?! Anyway, your blouse and jumper are amazing! And even more amazing given the lack of quality in the instructions. Well done and educational, as always!

Dear Angela, Your voiceover of the trials and tribulations you have been going through with your projects this month was absolute everything I needed to hear this morning as I am equally stressed about the multiple batches of cupcakes I am making for a party this afternoon, including a vegan and a gluten-free batch. Not that you need to know that. But really, I love your energy and spirit of perseverance.

@gerileemakes 4 года назад

I almost died laughing when you talked about making a sequin corset. Aesthetically it sounds like a great idea but also like a nightmare to construct. The only ways I think it could be done is either by using a sequined fashion fabric on top of the corset or adding the sequins on by hand after construction. I hope we can see these "fails" in a video some day.

@AngelaClaytonCostumery 4 года назад

Even aesthetically it's a bad idea. I worked SO HARD to create a pattern with interesting lines and it's completely covered by the density of sequins in the fabric. And everything in my sewing room is covered with sequin shards. It's worse than glitter. I'm too deep in to stop now but I hate it so much lol!

@danitzasews 4 года назад

I really like the jumper. I think it looks awesome on your figure. Maybe add a thin red belt? I do see the problem with the bust area though. And I love the little lady detail on the lapel. The big red buttons really do something extra for it

@olifrijoli5380 4 года назад

I'm in love with this outfit...This has to be my favorite dress jumper EVER so far! You look GORGEOUS! As for the waist, it might be a hit or miss, but maybe a thin denim belt would help with cinching it to your liking without it being too distracting to the jumper...for the bust, slap on a padded bra and go out to a lovely night on the town! Thanks a MILLION for another great video and tutorial! ❤

Love both pieces. The shirt fabric could not be more perfect. Absolutely charming.

@user-ri2qn4qo4k 4 года назад

I've definitely had my fair share of cursed projects - even multiple cursed projects in a row that really shook my faith in my own abilities. One thing I always do to try and shake it off is sewing something really basic that I know I could do in my sleep - usually something like a gathered skirt. Completing a project you know you can do and feel good about can help break the run of bad luck, at least in my experience. I loved this video, by the way! You did a great job, even with those wonky instructions - they would've driven me up the wall and had me pulling my hair out! Good for you for finding solutions to the confusion and lack of information! And that fabric from Joann's is gorgeous as well - once again, it makes me wish I could pop over the border to do some fabric shopping. 😂 Keep your chin up, Angela. ❤

@biancasciocchetti2728 4 года назад

It's so relieving to hear you talk about all your fails. As I am getting better at sewing I'm trying out more complicated pieces. However, I feel like they have all turned out horrible and it's really making me not want to sew. You saying that helped me see that sometimes projects don't work out and you need to keep pushing through it all. Also thank you for introducing me to the simplicity vintage I'm truly addicted.

@kimreisinger 4 года назад

@teresacoffman5529 4 года назад

@tammymasson2343 4 года назад

Oh Angela! You look so lovely in this! I'm really glad you detailed what you don't like about it AND how you would go about fixing it. It is so easy for some of us to think taking it up in the shoulder seams will fix it, then wonder why it doesn't work. I agree with some other comments suggesting you find a bra that helps fill it out more so you can enjoy wearing your project as made. I really love the deep V neck on the back, as well as the button details. And in my opinion, your waist looked remarkably lovely in this outfit! Happy sewing!

@hollyw5328 4 года назад

Just a note about the pattern with the bloomers that might look like a diaper. I just made it but from a reproduction, size-scaled pattern from Reconstructing History! It's a 1954 bathing suit pattern. Mine didn't come out as poofy as the picture made it seem (I chose linen with a power mesh lining), and it is actually pretty flattering, definitely not diaper-like (despite having that potential). It has hope yet :) (side note: I may sing a different tune when I try to use it in water, but for the time-being this is what I've found.) As always, it is a pleasure watching your progress through your projects. And watching your videos has honestly helped me to get my butt in gear and start making things again, following my vintage dreams.

@KarsynMacenna 4 года назад

It produces a constant flow of steam which is great

Great job! Alot of those old patterns assumed that a person already knew how to sew, and I mean sew with talent and skill, not just making a pillowcase as a home-ec project! In the 1940's, almost every girl was taught how to sew, either by her mother, or in school, and they were taught how to read a pattern and how to complete a garment construction! My mother was one of those who was blessed to learn to sew like that....both in school, from her mother, and in 4-H. She could take a new pattern out of the envelope and NEVER read the pattern instructions, and totally complete a garment to look beautiful. I didn't take home-ec because in my little town, the only girls who took those classes were the losers with poor grades, illegitimate pregnancies, drug users, etc. I did not want to be identified with them. So, I learned from my mother....not everything but enough to get by. Everything else, I learned on my own and through some very credible sewing books and on tv through Nancy Zeiman and Sandra Betzina. The people who write pattern instructions are, as you said, morons. They write poorly, leave out steps and instructions, and ought to be schooled on how to do it the correct way! But, I digress. Your sewing is very nice, and you are to be commended! Congrats!

The jumper is flattering is dies fit you waist beautifully. And if only you'd lift the neck line tapering to the shoulder it would fix the beck gapping when you relax your shoulders. I had the same problem with my friends wedding dress and this technique fixed it and I didn't have to slash and close it this would of distorted the garment. I'm a couture pattern cutter and Fashion Designer from the UK and I was taught by one of the UK's top fashion tutor's he taught and wrote the sylibus for the degree course at the London school of fashion. Also with a 5/8 inch 1.5cm seam allowance you never add to the seam for French seams there is enough there in the allowance.for this , Ive done more french seams than I care to remember successfully. And please stop beating you self up your incredibly talented. And I love watching you on RU-vid. Well done

@honeykat1 4 года назад

off topic, but I loved the Gwennie clip at the end!!! And your jumper DOES look super flattering on.

Angela, I personally learn more watching sewing vids where things DON'T go well, because things go wrong for me all the darned time, and it helps me immensely to see how really expert people recover. Please don't think everything needs to be perfect for every vid, because it's your process, no matter what stumbling blocks happen, that keeps us coming back. Also, I would love to see how you store the boning. Oh, and I think a denim jumper is an excellent choice; you'll get so much wear out of it.

So happy to see your new video! I don’t really sew, but you make it look like fun. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed watching this video. I am thrilled to know about the new Simplicity fabric. Your insights are priceless. The idea of a mock-up for the jumper, to help alleviate the gaping in the front, I agree with what you said. It would have been done with a lighter fabric and would not likely have shown the need for removal of the extra couple of inches. Do not beat yourself up. I NEVER do mock-ups (I’m too lazy). I’m so impressed with your very thorough processes.

I've been watching your videos and I made me realize something. I love your vintage clothing but I am never going to attempt them tbh BUT my grandma had a shop in the 70s and she has loads of buttoms, threads, needles and other stuff from back them and I think some people might be interested in buying them hahaha. So if anyone is interested.... I'm here lol
