An extensive breakdown of Claire's skirts in Outlander season one, and a tutorial to make your own replica/reproduction.
THE FACEBOOK GROUP
Here is a link to the page: groups/17747... (The mods of the facebook group asked me to let you know that they've had a huge amount of people request to join, but not answer the questions. They said you can mention me in the question box, and ignore the rest. 😊) (Let me know if you're interested in getting in on a custom Mist weaving at some point.)
ALSO if you have the same run of tweed as me and you have any leftover after you make your skirt, hit me up! I want to make a vintage-inspired dress from my remnant, but I need another 1-1.5 yd.

Story of the patchwork skirt: most everything we were wearing in those clips is mine, but that skirt isn't. It belongs to their sister. It was made from a quilt their dad bought in Mexico, I believe. It was very old, faded, and ripped, and he was going to throw it out, so my friend brought it to my house and we made it into a skirt, inspired by Millie's quilt skirt in 7 Brides for 7 Brothers. It's extremely simple, just cut into one huge circle with a placket and a waistband, closing with hooks and eyes. She fixed up the rips and that was all! So I won't be making a video on it, but it was very simple to make, if you can find an old lightweight quilt to sacrifice.
The thread I used is coats & clark cotton all-purpose #8360 (summer brown, I think).

"I feel like I just won a game that, like, nobody else was playing... or cares about... or knows exists..., but I'm happy!" This speaks to so much of my life!

@user-vp1nh8xk1s 2 года назад

This is such an amazing marriage of mathematics, logic, and art. I’m always truly impressed by your exceptional attention to detail and appreciation of your craft. Well done.

@lickthismiff 2 года назад

Winning the game that no one is playing is the best feeling in the world. I can't count the number of times I've shouted, "ha! In your face!" at a sewing or craft project because I figured something out. I don't know whose face it's in, or why I'm so glad to have beaten them, but it makes me feel good all the same. The skirt is so beautiful, it truly is the most magical fabric and your dedication to getting it spot on is incredible!

@talithacrow7530 2 года назад

The way this swishes and the shape is perfect for my everyday skirt I'm dreaming of making when I can afford the fabric. Unfortunately good wool is currently out of my budget and I don't want to ruin the skirt for me by making one out of a cheaper fabric, and then I'll forever associate it with my cheap version

@sks17873 2 года назад

If you don’t need the skirt for warmth, try using cotton flannel and line it with cotton. Flannel has tons of plaid patterns and you can find it for only about 6-7 dollars per yard, and lining it would give it more weight.

@MariahPattie 2 года назад

i understand what you mean. For me the thrill of making it is in solving the puzzle, and I rarely have the motivation to remake an item once I've figured it out.

@bonniecolleenpappin8807 2 года назад

You could make one now to work out the process and call it a wearable toile.

Pleat math does my head in. Matching it to the stripes in the tartan is just so simple and so brilliant!

@chevronlily 2 года назад

I'd love to see your take on a solid colour skirt! It would be interesting to see how you work out the pleats without stripes.

@meamela9820 2 года назад

I learned so much about both skirt drape and pleating patterns in this video. Definently using that knowledge in some future project. It's so interesting when you go into all the little details that makes big differences in the end result.

@valleriejoy 2 года назад

I love the way you thoroughly explain your trip from beginning to end, I guess trip is the wrong word, I should say process. I am not a historical costume maker but, I absolutely love watching you fantastic bloggers who can really show us your process and dare I say make us excited to follow through, no matter what you’re making. By the way, you’re one of my favorites next to Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner. I’d take a costume making class with any of you.

@ABC1701A 2 года назад

One small point. Some years back archaeologists dug up a fragment of cloth in Scotland which they initially assumed was a modern cloth because it was dyed using bright, really bright, colours (including I think pink but it's been decades since I read the article). But further investigation showed the really bright - as in as bright or brighter than modern dyes - woven fabric was from around the 15thC. I knew an archaeologist here in Ireland whose specialty was textiles and she had a book, British Museum publication, which included a reference to this particular find and a photo. So while tartans are a relatively modern invention (including my own which is Craig) ones like McLeod of Lewis may actually have existed as far as the colours go even if the designs were different.

@gigiw.7650 2 года назад

@elainebye9090 2 года назад

I have no intention to try recreating Outlander clothing, per sae*. However I watched this video avidly for several reasons: 1. I am another if us odd ducks who love geometry. 😜 2. I find your meticulous observation and deductions intriguing and satisfying! 3. Who could possibly not love to watch luscious wool fabrics being sewn up?! 4. I definitely learn from your sewing techniques. Great job! Beautiful results. *I did create a version of the knitted shawl because I LOVE the esthetic.

@mariosblago94 2 года назад

I don't sew, and have no intent to, but just looking at someone be so pationate about their craft is so fulfilling.

@DanielleThompson23 2 года назад

AHHH!!. Once I get organized from a move I'm going to dive in to this; as I only have 5 yards I think I will flip it and do three selvage to selvage panels. The pattern will be wrong but I'd (in theory, if I do a thinner hem and slightly less volume at the waist) have enough for a mostly-screen-accurate-ish full-length, as well as a can-wear-in-modern-society length. Then if that re-weave were to happen in the future I'd want to try for a proper screen accurate version. Thank you so much for this! The time you put in is greatly appreciated!

@rtboothby3053 2 года назад

Wait, did I hear you tell your dad that you made a purse out of soda cans?!? I would love to see that. I’m not interested in an Outlander skirt for myself, but I watch these videos because, among other things, I love watching you work with that thick, gorgeous wool. I wish I could find that quality of wool (or ANY 100% wool) in my local fabric store, preferably at a price that wouldn’t take my breath away.

@babar86 2 года назад

Oh, the hours spent figuring out the pleats....! I work with norwegian national costumes (bunad) and the struggle is real! Add sun faded fabric and costumers who gained a few pounds and you have a few hours of fun trying to follow the bunad rules at the same time as you try to hide the different colors... Great job with the skirt!

Hi Mariah .. I have just found your channel and so glad I have …. I am astounded at the amount of research you have done just to make this skirt and love how you have talked and explained it all to us rather than just showing how to make the skirt, I am rather new to making clothes so finding a lot of useful information in your video (some went way way over my head though but was super interesting ) I also love how at the end of your video you tell us what you love about your make , what you didn’t like about it and what you learnt from making it and any changes you would make …. Superb video and the skirt is amazing, your whole outfit is just beautiful… thank you for sharing ❤️ Tina

I really enjoyed this episode. I have been a fan of the outlander series books as well as TV show and I often enjoy how interesting the costumes are. I personally have no clue what would be historically correct in terms of looks and production but i enjoy the aestetics of clothing in historical and fantasy shows. It was quite inspiring to see you investigating how things might have been put together and watching mistakes and success and how joyful you went about it.

@missmatti 2 года назад

Wow, Mariah! What a thorough job you did! 😍 I joined the Facebook group because I have planned to recreate some Outlander costumes for ages. I think I will take the time and make myself Claire's 1940s coat (feels like a doable start 😜) from season 1 listening to the new Outlander book once that one is out later this month.

@killamoosdraree730 2 года назад

I think you could just rotate the fabric so that your horizontal stipes and vertical stripes are the way you want them (cross grain vs. on grain is usually not a big difference on a gathered or pleated skirt as far as drape goes). All of the math for pleating is way more work than I would do, but your end result turned out quite eye-catching. I think I would just eyeball the pleating sections using my waistband strip as a guide using more of a pattern matching technique (line up the pleats so that the stripes in the waistband meet up with the visible stripes of the pleats - if that makes sense). All of your efforts really paid off though! Props to you and thanks for sharing this with us!!

@aly_b 2 года назад

Amazing!

@roxannlegg750 2 года назад

I have now bought the mist and stone fabric - and all the issues you had with the math work out and suddenly make sense when you do rotate the pieces. The darkest double line does go vertical, the ivory double lines go horizontally, on the upperside of the double brown stripe. I have 6 yards - and im not sure i need that much - but i probably will given my waist size. It def needs to run the other direction! But your info on th epleats was amazing! Thankyou!

@roxannlegg750 2 года назад

Great job with the pleat maths. But trust me, there is a limit to adjusting "the same number of pleats"...it wont scale up to a 45" waist. Those of us who are GENUINE plus size, just cope. (if youre a size 12, DONT try and convince someone whos a size 24 that you are ALSO plus size!). WE just accept we have to make it according to what WOULD have been done. I may be Mrs Fitz's waist size...but Im also taller than Catriona - so us plus sizers just do what works! Totally wonderful video...I hope it gets heavily monetised!

@MariahPattie 2 года назад

You’re probably right. I have very little experience with plus-size sewing. In that case I’d recommend using more yardage and adding more pleats wherever one feels they look best.

@roxannlegg750 2 года назад

@@MariahPattie Yeah - a friend and I have played around with it all - she is making the red tartan wedding gown. If I made this gown I would be adding a second box pleat at the backand front to "fill in" the circumference. With the side pleats being as you have outlined. In all truth - I truely hope you never have to have lots of personal experience with this type of sizing...its hard enough, and wouldnt wish it on any one. we dont choose it, want it and if we could do something about it we would. That said - I was close to your size at your age - but i am taller and larger build (coming from good German stock!) Most of us have complex health issues that have caused it...me i have mobility and pain issues, spinal issues and incurable medical conditions where weight gain is the normal side effect of medication. So, I hope ppl read this and get an understanding that real plus sizers struggle with a lot in trying to recreate screen costumes. Its hard to feel included a lot when 95% of the high grossing youtubers are normal to petite size. But I AM in awe of your analytical skills...almost as obsessive as me :-)

Everyone looks so beautiful in their outfits. It looks like the costumes might have been weathered or distressed in some way. I'm sure you don't want to add extra wear to your skirts. It looks like they might have removed some of the stiffening.

I absolutely loved this video and I love all the care and research that went into the making of this skirt. Huzza for twirly skirts! At the end the magpie in me saw your friend's patchwork (tatterdamilian?) skirt. Is that by any chance your work? If it is I'd love to see a video on the process of that skirt.

Etude In your blouse-in your skirt in classic romance, Your experience tears in the silk of your shawl, Your tone in the waving manners of your skirt, Flooding muliebrity in moral beauty. Your source is cozy warmth in your heart, Your sea basin with accompanying passion, Swishing your gliding walk in posture, In length of waterfall flooding the depth. Surrounded by protection of current of your sea, By timeless feature of cordial attitude, It’s color with hot storm roaring embrace, Enchanting infinity in the world of your loyalty. It’s material in salient charm of your bosoms, In changing relation in windy occasion, Feeling your custom evokes you in several ways, In humble romance of your profound beauty.
