Brancaster is amazing. I love her work. Just as an aside, Minerva also gives very good drafting tutorials. Love what you are doing, you do inspire me ❤
I love the closet historian 😊. She’s amazing. She creates jewelry and handbags as well as clothes. I created my own bodice block. It took me four hours to do 😅. I’m a beginner still in sewing and math challenged 😂. I got it done and am learning how to use my bodice block. Go me! 😁. Thank you for sharing! Your friend Diane❤
Love the closest historian, been watching her for years. I’ve learned so much from her! I love to see others being g inspired by her to make their own patterns. I’m not there yet but I want to make my own block one day.
You don't have to use your sewing machine. If you use a 3- it 4- thread safety stick you can just construct with your overlocker. I'm just finishing some Hudson pants. I only used my sewing machine for the strip of fabric shopping the front pockets, just to avoid bulk. Everything else had gone through my overlocker
It is the perfect Summer top for you! Great explanations and instructions! I love watching Bianca, The Closet Historian. Even when I'm not really that interested in what she's making I love her voice and I listen to her while I'm hand-sewing or taking apart a thrifted garment.
I have not yet made my block as I'm losing weight. I'm making the Nell dress. I had to lower the bust day. I'm making my second toile. If it is correct I'm considering rotating the dart á la Bianca, just as you are. But I'm thinking of aFrench Dart at the waist
I just love how this came out Rachel! I'm just now getting a bit more comfortable hacking my patterns so this video was really helpful for me. Great job and I have a feeling we will see a few more of this top on you 😉🍋Thanks for sharing!
I just went to insert grommets into the waistband if my Hdson's and discovered i don't have the correct hole punch. Like to I'm using a bit of interesting so i can't just make a hole with an awl and force the grommet through.i was looking forward to wearing them tomorrow but now i need to wait for the punch! Your toile is looking great so far.. I'm at the point where you are feeding the cord through
Thank you Rachel, so interesting & your a great teacher. Your top looks super & goes beautifully with your skirt. Will go & check out the closest historian, sounds as if there is much to learn & not sure if I am at that level yet will give it a go. Thank you.❤
The whole time I am watching you make this top, I am thinking how cool that top will be ice dyed. I have done alot of dyeing fabric and always find it's like Christmas seeing what color etc you get. Thanks
