I have sewn all of my life. I made my own clothes back in the 70's during the polyester era when I wanted and needed cotton clothing for work. I made my daughters clothing up until I went back to work when she was 9. Then when we bought a house I made curtains, duvet covers, pillows etc. I have in the last 15 years been making quilts. I am no stranger to sewing. I just finished watching this video and I am amazed at what saw. Your sewing is absolutely beautiful . The tiny stitches. the pattern drafting. the material you used all are beyond anything I could imagine. Your work is far beyond my realm of expertise. Congratulations on a task superbly accomplished.

Salty is not just modern slang. It was also used as slang in the 1860's meaning racy, sexy. It was used to mean irritated or angry by 1920 often in the phrase "jump salty". If it was found in writing in 1860 it was probably in use in speech a long time before that. The slang meaning hasn't really changed. I often heard the word used in this way when I was a child. It has recently come into use again. It is not new slang. It is just new to you.

"These Happy Golden Years" by Laura Ingalls Wilder--quote from the preparations for her August 1885 wedding to Almanzo: "All the white sewing was quickly done on the machine. Laura brought out the dozens of yards of white thread lace that she had knitted and crocheted, and like magic the machine’s flashing needle stitched the lace edgings to the open ends of the pillow cases, the throats and wrists of the high-necked, long-sleeved nightgowns, the necks and armholes of the chemises, and the leg-bands of the drawers." Sounds like permission to machine sew undergarments in period!

@MickeyMallone. Год назад

I suppose it could be a replacement for the fact that Bernadette doesn't make her own fabric like Laura, so goes with the next best thing? Also, if her descriptions of the agony it was for her to sew weren't just childhood exaggerations, Laura hated hand-sewing- that was Mary's thing, even after she went blind.

The curved waistband is something I think we have lost in modern clothing. As a very curvy, plus sized women, I have found that straight waistbands don't lay nicely, but curved ones fit better and allow the top to sit nicely and gives way for the garment to sit nicely on the hips. Jeans truly benefit from curved waists. The leg movemen has be so interested and I'm curious how jeans and pants would work with that. I will be playing it myself for sure!

As an eco-conscious (and budget conscious) historical sewist - have you considered using used linen and cotton bed sheets as the fabric for your undergarments, or at least your mock-ups? taking them directly to a laundry service who can wash in very hot water and a very hot dryer for plague control? (because no lie, that is what the bulk of donated masks for heathcare workers were made from when the stores ran out of cotton fabric during the stay at home orders) I can't tell you how many dresses and slips my dear Grandma (who was born in 1893) and my mom made me of sheets and flour sacks when I was little.

The problem people have when it comes to doing something by hand for lack of the machine is that it takes a lot of time and effort. Modern times are so fast. Everything has to get done in spiffy without much effort and still look like quality work. Way back when it took time and effort to make something, from garments to furniture, it was done with the thought in mind that it should last for a long time too. These days everything is treated like disposable stuff, easily replaced and without much cost.

This is my second full time watching this, although some parts have been seen a bit more. I want to thank Bernadette for how she handles background music. About a third of us humans have something called Auditory Processing Disorder which makes it difficult to pull voice out of noise. Many videos have the background music up too high and watching is a struggle, sometimes rerunning parts to catch what was said and sometimes deciding, "Oh bother!", and moving on to a different video. Bernadette, though, does it perfectly, dropping the music down each time the voice over comes in. Just thought you'd like to know that she's perfect in another way that may not have occurred to you;) If you want to know more about Auditory Processing Disorder, Wikipedia has a good overview.

I began sculpting about five years ago when my health had me housebound. I never thought I would have the level of success I do now, fully satisfied for the first time in my life with the dedication to the art as never before. I feel your joy from creating Each time I started to make something I had never tried before, I poured over videos, books, examples, everything short of going to a fair where like artists would be selling. Always experimenting then practicing to my satisfaction. Recently I traded a 1 3/4" polymer clay and resin cherry pie for a real pie made from homegrown cherries. It was as wonderful as the reaction to my pie. I crimped crust, dusting it with colored chalks to show that it was baked. The pie wasn't stuffed with scrap clay or foil, it was ALL cherries! I made sure to make decorative openings to see inside and I made the pie pan to specs from a 1902 Sears catalog. I even cut out a piece of the pie, laid it on one of my 1" plates and made a working knife along with a non working fork to set the feeling in the kitchen for my friends dollhouse. I had always loved miniatures and ended up making an entire gardens worth of veggies and fruits for her Victorian Dollhouse. I even made "Heritage" creations. As this grew from making jewlery I decided everything had to be classic but a bit over the top. Beauty came first. I made her special things for the house then built a "produce stand for all the fruits and veggie's. I even made a stand for her granddaughters to play with their barbies so the jewelry the girls made could be "sold" beside grandma's stand. If you can't tell, I am in love with this aspect of the medium I was told back in highschool that I would never master. Shortly afterwards I made a replica "washing machine" from the Sears book and now there are cast iron pans and cauldrons gallor. I live in a small house so I am cramped for space but this hobby fits just right.

Most of the extant examples I've seen that still have their ribbon have the ribbon loose and tied in a bow. I imagine one might remove the silk ribbon to wash much easier that way. I image you aren't intending yours for daily wear so you probably won't be washing them as often as the victorians so it's definitely not a big deal.

@magicattic 5 лет назад

I think your cheaper lace is pretty accurate actually. It was the cheaper machine lace of the industrial revolution that allowed so many women from different circles of society to have "frilly" underthings. Previously, far from being simply a matter of preference, it was more a matter of what you could afford. The more humble garments, devoid of any decoration , would have belonged to the poorest working classes. The more frills, the more handmade lace, and therefore, the more costly the garment. The industrial revolution was the great equalizer of much of society. Many women from varied classes were dressing the same way, whether they were wealthy or not, because so much fabric and trim was available at moderate prices. The massive socio economic upheaval/change of the time was reflected so succinctly in this relatively small way.

@Kunstpost 5 лет назад

It depends which rich people you mean: you refer to the new rich not the old rich. the last one only wore lace on Sundays. modest but well made for instance handmade woven linen without knots held a lifetime. you could say that it is the difference between style and fashion. Also lacemakers were found in the underclass and could make it for themselves and it depends on their attitude and work environment when they could wear it. Industrialisation can't change that.

I so love your historical sewing projects. My grandmother was a 'dressmaker' according to the 1911 Irish census and I've been dressmaking for over 50 years. I would love to see the type of apparel she would have made and maybe try to make something from that era. Maybe you could make such a video, or point me in the direction of some reading material I could peruse!

When I was a girl, so long ago now my grandmother taught me to make little button loops with very fine thread that were tied together using the same knot that attaches boats to a deck.

I hope you teach your granddaughter to make those knots.

I love this channel with all my heart. Seeing someone talented and creative nerd out hardcore over something they are passionate about is the best part of this whole website.

I can't even sew, though I do love historical things. But i totally agree with this! I love her enthusiasm, and how incredibly smart she is. I love how she approaches it like a puzzle. I love your description "nerd out hardcore" lol!
