In the novel, Holmes is described as wearing an Ulster coat not an Inverness. The differences are subtle. An Inverness has a longer cape and usually does not have sleeves. It depends on the decade whether it has sleeves or a full cape. Your choice of sleeves, then, is appropriate

I think he also only wears it, like the hat mostly, when he's going out of London. When he's in town he mostly wears a regular hat and coat (or whatever disguise he's going for in the story). I have a hat and I wear it all the time with my pink check rain trench coat.

@shinobi-no-bueno Год назад

Actually, Holmes only wore the deerstalker in Hound of the Baskervilles, when he was on the moor, and never wore country wear in town. The whole inverness and deerstalker were a creation of the actor who first portrayed him on stage. If you look at the original illustrations of Holmes, he wore typical suits and top hats like every other man of the era. :) Not that it matters in the slightest, as your costuming is lovely.

If I remember correctly, he was described as quite the dandy, so his dress would likely have been suited properly to the venue he was attending. It would have been considered quite boorish to wear one's hunting garb about town, even if one was commonly acknowledged as a bit of an eccentric. It would be like attending the opera in one's smoking jacket. Scandal of scandals.

@ArcherAmara098 4 года назад

This is going to be a bit random, but thank you so much for posting these videos! I have to say, honestly, that I was not the least bit interested in getting into sewing before I saw your videos. Watching these made me realize that a lot of the fears and inhibitions I faced when looking at sewing things were all things that could be challenged and faced. Watching you solve problems in your work with a happy sort of patience made me feel a lot better about beginning something that seemed daughtingly difficult. Not owning a working sewing machine had also stopped me from getting into this, before I saw you work on your projects with just a hand sewing needle. It inspired me to really, truly, try my hardest with a couple of projects. Now I teach my own sewing classes at a local fabric store, where I get the chance to inspire other people into tumbling down the rabbit hole of problem solving, creativity, and patient hours of calming work. You deeply inspire me and I wanted to let you know, and to thank you for being so amazing and just having fun with what gives you joy ^.^

@lukerobson609 4 года назад

I think the confusion about whether or not the coat should have sleeves or not is whether you were using an Inverness or Ulster pattern. My understanding is that the Ulster coat has sleeves, whereas the Inverness cape does not. It is the Inverness that Sherlock Holmes is commonly depicted as wearing, yet I beleive in the novels Sir Arthur Conan Doyle puts him in an Ulster. As in the novels Holmes is a man who appreciates fashion and dressing appropriately for the situation, a dark coloured Ulster over his morning coat would be more appropriate than the Inverness he was depicted in, which was fundamentally a countryside garment.

@FeannaFey 4 года назад

This agrees with what I stumbled across recently. Though apparently it gets even more complicated, because the cape for the non-sleeve version isn't acutally a full cape but actually basically very wide sleeves attached to the back of the coat and not closed up: thereshesews.blogspot.com/2018/11/inverness-coat-part-1.html

My immediate thought was to when my mother weighed one of her ATS belly dance outfits in its entirety one time but the bulk of the weight of that is worn around the hips not shoulders.

@Thetasigmaalpha 3 года назад

@mndlessdrwer 3 года назад

Armorers and clothiers have similar concerns with weight distribution sometimes. Particularly with outerwear or structural garments, which frequently either need to distribute the load of other garments or are heavy enough, themselves, that the placement of their weight becomes a legitimate concern. In the case of armor, the majority of the main armor pieces are heavy enough that their load requires consideration toward its support on or against the body.

Lovely coat! Congratulations on finishing! On the sleeve issue, I remember that the sleeveless version assumes that you'll be wearing a coat/jacket underneath the Inverness/Ulster so that would act as the sleeves.

My mother one year for Halloween made me a fire engine red, courderoy, hooded cape....I was to be "little red riding hood"....long story short, I wore that thing long after Halloween and into the next few falls....I really liked how comfortable and warm it kept me....it was a sad day for me when I outgrew it....so my aunt made me a knitted poncho with fringed tassel's, for this was in fashion in the 70's....love how this lovely coat/cape came out....learn so much from you Bernadette, I particularly appreciate your even hand stitching!!!....hate using a sewing machine with a passion, too out of control for me....

I absolutely love the sound of really sharp dressmaking shears cutting through cloth ❤ Does that make me weird?😂😂 Does anyone else love that sound?

@doublelightangel 11 месяцев назад

Yes, and I have no idea why 😂 also the tartan ribbon on the scissors ✂️❤

@scorchedrosearts7821 5 месяцев назад

Seriously, sharp shears on fabric is one of the best sounds in the world. People should make it into ASMR or something.

@jaytee2642 4 года назад

Wow. Just wow! I have no idea who you are, or why this video was in my recommended list, but I am SOOOO impressed! This is a labor of love and a work of art. ❤ Ok, I just took a quick scan through your videos and I must say, you have an AMAZING channel. Your skill and creativity is mindboggling. Even though these projects are not something that I would ever attempt myself, I so admire your talent. 👍🏻❤

Oh goodness, what a gorgeous piece! I am absolute trash for wool winter coats (and infamously collect them in every possible colour); I dream one day of having the time to make a beauty such as this. Amazing job!

@carpentervintage_t3a514 3 года назад

I loved watching this and my two kittens couldn't take their eyes off! Especially fascinated by you cutting out, I think it was the piano music and the shiny scissors that caught their attention :D

Beautiful. My ex made an Inverness coat a couple of years ago, and he was fuming over the number of layers where the collar meets the coat meets the cape!

@charlotteroberts 4 года назад

What a beautiful coat. So happy to hear you're pleased with it; tremendous work.

The sequence at 15:22 was truly a blessing to the senses. My soul left my body and was transported into a different plane. Anyway, all of the Lady Sherlock projects look amazing but seeing the work and love that has been put into them was an absolutely wonderful experience. I can't thank you enough for this wonder you have released upon our world.

@MeSoyCapitan 4 года назад

I've never even been slightly interested in tailoring, but after 5 minutes of watching your eloquent, passionate and joyful love of it, I want to make all the clothes. Can't wait to see more of your videos, thanks for making them.

@Luxxen101 3 года назад

When alone hint: mark 2" squares on mockup where you cannot reach when worn, then put it on and take pictures. I've found it quite useful, since you can literally digitally "zoom in" on the problem fitting areas and the squares define exactly where.

@julied.8277 4 года назад

Beautiful! Thank you so much for going through the entire project. Your work is gorgeous as always. I'd watch you hemming hankies!

@forced2makethisbloodyaccou355 4 года назад

I was always under the impression that the cape was an addition to the jacket, as an extra layer of warmth if needed. I looked in my closet of older clothing from a bygone era. My jacket has small buttons around the collar to attach the cape to the nape of the neck. The cape has button holes for attachment and a small flap around the "collar" of the cape to both shield the buttons, but also to double as a collar if the cape was worn without the jacket. I have no idea if this was historically accurate, or if this is a fancy re-creation, as this was worn for the outdoor theatres and stage shows from roughly the 1950's for context. Please let me know if this is either incorrect or possibly correct.

I don’t know but it’s a good question. It kinda reminds me of how we’ll have detachable hoods on a lot of jackets today. Maybe I’ll see if I can look into it.

@Gazelle1583 4 года назад

OMG! I'm self-taught and I never realized that I have been using the chalk wrong my whole sewing life. Thank you! This is going to save me so much time using that scissors trick to soften the fine edges of the chalk. I've been leaning into the fabric for years only to get a thin and not very visible line from that those blasted chalk squares!

@Jessamineann 4 года назад

My six year old daughter immediately grabbed a piece of leftover green felt cabbage and safety pinned it at the top to make her own cape and called herself Daughter Sherlock. I wish I could show you the picture! Thanks for being a youtuber we can share!

@HomeWithMyBookshelf 4 года назад

Such tartan-y goodness! And OF COURSE we must have THE RED 😝 You make me smile with your videos, and this ensemble has been delightful to follow from concept to final form 😊 I can't wait for what you do next, and for your costume college vlog (I hope). Also, that cutting sequence was a work of art! Well done on editing and sound production!

@HomeWithMyBookshelf 4 года назад

For when I inevitably want to revisit that sequence, it's at 15:22

@tinajohnston8139 4 года назад

I love watching your original practice work. I have already learned a much faster way to do backstitch, and this time I learned how to sharpen my tailor’s chalk!

@stephaniejohnson583 4 года назад

The wearing of this set and your partners in crime - Watson and Moriarity - was my favorite part of the Costume College video.

@dragoart1105 4 года назад

I love watching her work. Passion is such a beautiful thing and this lady shows so much of it in her craftsmanship. It makes me inspired and want to pursue the kind of passion she bestows upon every one of her projects💕💕

I just love tailoring so much - especially in wool as it responds so well to steam. Just holding the iron over and area can help ease in any little wrinkles in the sleeve cap where it's fullest. Can I make a suggestion - you probably already worked this out, but when you're pressing up the seam allowance on your patch pocket, it can help save your fingertips steam burns a little to lay your pattern piece (which you handily cut from light card) on the fabric shape and fold the seam allowance over the pattern piece and press - you can get extra perfect curves if you running stitch half an inch from the raw edge and draw that up around the pattern piece you've laid on the fabric shape first before pressing.

i love watching these videos while i crochet. even if it’s a different craft, there’s something nice about watching someone work with their hands while you work with your hands. it’s like a knitting circle and a podcast in one :)

@Ikataja 4 года назад

This is absolutely stunning, your dedication and strive for historic recreation really resulted in a masterpiece in my opinion. I very much enjoyed watching this idea become reality!

@Beetle_beech 4 года назад

Such amazing work! Perfect to sit and watch for hours upon hours while procrastinating your own sewing projects.

@yoojinjeong3488 4 года назад

The pinning, marking out, and cutting of the cloth is the most aesthetically and asmr-ly satisfying thing (15:22)

@leepergrace_3046 4 года назад

These make me so splendidly happy. As a young folk I find it difficult to watch long videos, I always have to be doing something while I watch, practicing piano or sketching. However, with these I watch the entire thing without even thinking. The drafting bits are even thoroughly watched. Thank you so much for these videos! Love you lots!

@gothichinata4332 4 года назад

I am speechless! Your Lady Sherlock looks absolutely stunning and I've watched all of your videos, more than once, with great interest. You're really inspiring me to go deeper into my interest in Historical fashion(I've already handstitched an apron :D) and I'm really grateful for that. Also your videos help me a bunch learning and improving my English ^^ Lots of love from Germany

@Antonette59 4 года назад

I recently found your channel. I just started watching this particular video and it reminded me of my grandma. She used to make dresses for my mom & her sisters. She used flour sacks and cut her own patterns. My mom adored those dresses.

@Antonette59 4 года назад

I would pay a great deal, if only I had it, to have that outfit. Beautiful!

@vivrandles5179 2 года назад

This is glorious. My maternal grandmother was a tailoress, and watching you create these garments makes me wish more than ever that I’d met her, not least because she could have taught me so much wonderful stuff. Sadly, she died long before I was born. ☹️

@barbaraferron7994 Год назад

Same with my maternal great grandmother.

@ambermolina1326 4 года назад

Loved, loved, loved the conclusion to the Lady Sherlock series, there was mysteries afoot, but you are a clever one and figured each and every one out, to a beautiful concluaion. You should be so proud of all the beautiful work and! Even loved the slow close up of beautiful seam work. I am sure this project made you feel lots of different emotions and I thank you for taking us on the journey with you!

@mariaarnt4939 4 года назад

So exciting to see the wonderful conclusion of the Sherlock Holmes project. Can't wait to see what you do next! And yes, I read the descriptions. I thoroughly researched them when I was heading up to New York for a business trip and would have just a little time to visit the garment district. Since I didn't have much time, I wanted to make sure that I only visited the best - the ones you recommended!

@namikosugans 4 года назад

I remember watching the video where you announced the Lady Sherlock project and now, she and all her attendant parts are done! Thank you so much for taking us along on your journey and I can't wait to see Noelle's Lady Watson too!

@jpeterson2150 4 года назад

Yes I read the description boxes! I also read cookbooks and never make the recipes...but I know (technically) how. Lol 🤣 But oh how beautiful this is!!!! I loved every minute and every snip and every stitch. 🥰

I have nothing to do with sewing and stumbled upon this channel accidentally, but it's very inspiring to see someone being passionate about what they do and enjoying it (which is part of the reason why I now plan on watching most of your videos). Also loved that ASMR bit at 15:22.

@lindafredtrauffer8175 4 года назад

Another bonny time with Bernadette; thank you! I do hope we, your faithful followers, will get to see Lady Sherlock full length and strolling the avenues of NY, please! I would love to see a close-up of your chatelaine.
