Tonight, I was watching a re-run of Murdoch Mysteries; one of the first things that caught my eye was a crisp black and white version of your BERNADETTE SHOE , elegantly worn by our talented Canadian Comedic Actress: Geri Hall (born in Oakville, Ontario), playing the part of a "femme fatale" on a Trans Atlantic Crossing -- DRAMA. Part of the enjoyment of watching "Murdoch Mysteries" for so many years, and also the "Frankie Drake Mysteries", has been the excellent recreations of the Costumes of the period. I have donated several pieces of actual 1890's -- 1903 clothing to the Royal Ontario Museum, and can attest to the fine workmanship, of the clothing from this special era. 🍁

You just helped me justify buying these shoes by talking about the heel placement and how comfortable they are. I have terrible back problems and have no reason to waste money on heel I can’t wear but now I can justify these shoes.

Shoes with those beautifully shaped heels had another day in the sun. In the mid 1950's, Capezio came out with ladies dress shoes with them. I loved 'em! Comfortable, stylish, and something besides the very high heeled pumps so popular back then. My grandmother would have loved American Duchess shoes! Shoes in the later part of the 19th Century were not made for left and right feet. Both shoes were the same and your feet either adapted or else. Her feet showed the "adapting" for the rest of her life. As to pockets in skirts: I thought I was the only one who insisted a skirt/dress needed pockets. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

@regrettablemuffin9186 3 года назад

The fact that Bernadette does almost all of her work by hand has inspired me to be able to sew. I have a crippling fear of needles to the point where I can’t even use a sewing machine so I always felt like sewing wasn’t something I can do, but if Bernadette can make incredible garments without using a sewing machine then there’s hope after all

@Janne_Mai 3 года назад

Yeah you can do it! It takes longer (maybe don't try to make curtains lol) but it can be very meditative, especially if you're working with stiffer/more solid fabrics like this woven wool and taffeta.

@user-hf9sj2jv1w 3 года назад

If you use a thimble and start slow to get used to not accidentally poking your fingers you should be fine. Sewing needles are nowhere near as sharp as medical needles so if it wouldn't trigger you to much you could maybe touch the tip of the needle to show yourself that it isn't as bad.

@emmafarrington6612 3 года назад

Start with something simple, like one of those embroidery kits, so you can get used to using a needle. I found that pillows are the easiest project to make as it's literally sewing 3.75 straight sides (right sides together) flipping it inside out, stuffing the pillow and then sewing the last 1/4 edge.

My favourite scenes in your videos are you chalking, pinning and cutting the material. I don't know if ANYBODY else ever saw them because I've never actually met anybody that has, but when I was young, one of my favourite movies was from the Beatrix Potter series - The Tailor of Gloucester. I used to watch it over and over, and the way they animated the cloths and him cutting bits and pieces away has stuck with me for years and years. Bernadette's videos transport me back to being 6 years old watching the movie on VHS for the 3rd time in an afternoon because I just loved the story. I don't think content ever gets more wholesome than this channel. Love the cape too! ❤️

I've ordered a pair of the Bernadette shoe in the black and cognac and I can't stinkin' wait to wear them! I'm so happy that I've found your channel and other historical/vintage fashion RU-vidrs. For some reason it never occurred to me that there would be vintage and antique fashion sewing channels on such a modern site and that I was just a weirdo for wanting to sew all of these clothes. Now that you and other RU-vidrs have reawakened my sewing spirit, I have started a sewing journey to make my entire closet vintage and historical fashion based. This passed summer I made 2 dresses and a blouse from the 1950s, I would have gotten many more pieces done this summer during quarantine but I am a teacher and was LITERALLY NEVER left alone the entire summer by my superiors demanding I do hundreds of zoom meetings and professional developments in case my job changed this year (it did not and never would have, my school board is literally stupid) just to find that nothing they claimed they set up for this school year to all fail miserably in the first few weeks back. I plan to start learning how to draft since I'm fairly mathematically inclined and should have at least a good go of it. Thanks for all of the cool stuff you do.

I like sewing by hand, and agree that it feels like you have more control over the result than with machine stitching. I enjoy your videos, and always stay till the end. I watch them while I knit and crochet sweaters for my new winter wardrobe--my most recent endeavors-- and appreciate your company. You are a very pleasant companion.
