@Sikizu 6 месяцев назад

For really Thicck (tm) seams, I've used a sail palm! They're usually used for canvas work (hence "sail") and therefore canvas/leather needles, but they've saved my fingers on SO many occasions. Also an awl for when I really mess up and just need ONE thread to get through ONE place that's through several layers of thick fabric. I would not be surprised if they were used every once and a while historically either. If you have a tool for it, why not use it?

@benzaiten933 6 месяцев назад

be it back in the days or today, people will use what works and what they have on hand!

@foamer443 6 месяцев назад

Having worked the industrial leather industry I can attest to having used awls.

@danielleboon1543 6 месяцев назад

Just a thought for dealing with that bulk: what if you hammered your seams? You do that in modern sewing, particularly with blue jeans, as the fabric is so dense and so many seams get felled. Most modern home sewing machines really struggle with seeing through upwards of a dozen layers of denim. Idk if there’s any historical record of that kind of practice. With denim, you can chalk it up to part of the distressing, a bit of crushed fabric just adds to the appeal. With wool, the fibres would felt together and it probably wouldn’t have a measurable effect on the durability

This is such a rich video!

@susanhoch2677 6 месяцев назад

@caraleegates2872 6 месяцев назад

Such a cool project. My 4 year old daughter was sitting with me watching this video. As you were cutting the fabric I explained what you were doing and that you were making a cape...her eyes lit up amd said, "oh a cape, is it for me, I want a little cape. Can we travel to visit her and she can make me a cape!" She proceeds to get her shoes on. Bless her heart, she is now very sad to not be traveling your way. Lol. I guess the girl needs a cape. Love it.

@DawnDavidson 6 месяцев назад

Fortunately, a cape for a little one can be made quite easily with very little fabric! I even made one for my daughter (when she was little) out of offcuts from a tunic I’d made years earlier from polar fleece. I overlapped the seams - rather than putting them back to back as usual - and sewed them flat with a fancy stitch to avoid bulk. It had the advantage of making the whole cape reversible, too! My ex - her dad - also used to make cloaks out of blankets that required no sewing whatsoever. A fleece lap blanket from the local Dollar Tree or 5 Below might make an excellent, inexpensive choice for a quick kid-cape. I hope your kid gets her cape, even if you won’t be flying over to have Bernadette make it anytime soon!

@leagaillard4085 6 месяцев назад

You know what, now I don't feel that bad for making the same mistake of buying some heavy wool when I made my cloak last year 😂. Last autumn I decided to make a glorious and very dramatic ankle length 3/4 circle cape (for maximum swooshiness) toped with a capelet and a big hood. I ended up making it out of around 9 meters of a heavy black wool fabric and even though fulling lining it wasn't a bad idea 😅 Needless to say I ended up with a very heavy cloak (4.5 kg to be exact). I ended up having to insert some shoulder pads just so the weight would be better distributed on my shoulder. Anyway it's still one of my favorite piece in my wardrobe and the weight of it definitely hasn't stopped me from wearing it hahaha. I'm planing on making another shorter cape this season and I just love your design 😍 so thank you so much for making this pattern available for us! Hopefully this time I will be a little wiser in my fabric choices 🤞🏻

Being a seamstress is a superpower. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

That is stunning! It's a beautiful pattern. The back yoke is so lovely the velvet stands out beautifully! I'm so adding this pattern to my Christmas wish list!

oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, that is so wonderful. Love the braid, the velvet underlining idea ... I love. What a wonderful Journey.

An absolutely gorgeous cape, love the back yoke details and using the velver pieces enhances it so much better

Oh my goodness, the bag! I've been in love with Beara Beara ever since I saw them in one of your earlier videos, and it's super awesome that you're doing a colab with them! The cape is also amazing, of course!

OK, call me mad, but around 6:01 I actually got a little teary-eyed. This is just so beautiful to watch. :')

The satchel is do beautiful 19:51 Will certainly check it out. Love all Victorian fashion style. I'm still a baby with sewing but I made my goal to make a full Victorian witch outfit next year after learning all the basics

This is great. It's amazing how Bernadette's videos always make me fantasize about complicated garments I could create, although my actual skills are barely enough to make a skirt!

i would absolutely love a witchy cape but we are heading into summer here in Australia and it usually lasts about 6 months, so i imagine ill be back around april or so when i can wear capes without becoming a soup
