@Traci_Websinger Год назад

Life goals...I have a quilt wall hanging that I want to hand sew in linen. The design is off of a 14th c. Italian tryptic, The Death of the Virgin. The pattern of her bier is a square within a square, done in red, white and either black or navy. Probably black, or at least that's my first choice. I just have to find my pattern, because I worked out a fairly elaborate quilting design. Hopefully in this lifetime. 🤓

@a_whole_season Год назад

@@Traci_Websinger honestly, that sounds like it'd be a lot of work but also very enjoyable. The quilt I'm doing is a t-shirt quilt of all the blood donor t-shirts I've gotten for donating blood over the years, and despite absolutely shredding my hands on my pins, it's been a soothing and pleasantly monotonous project. The hand quilting goes faster than you'd think, and the hardest part so far has been trying to math out the widths and lengths of fabric for sashing. I use an embroidery frame to hold the fabric and just watch TV or listen to RU-vid and I got 7 large squares sewn together and quilted in under 2 weeks. I'm sure that whenever you decide to start on your project, it'll be very fulfilling to finish and it'll look great when it's done!

@flightlessphoenix77 Год назад

I was given a maxi length (on me) linen dress by a friend and its immediately become my lounging around the house staple. This is a timely reminder that I can wear it with my full length velvet cardigan for extra drama Your skills are impeccable and I love this finished robe

@amyelliott6565 Год назад

Ok, this has to be my favorite so far! 1) I have the same clasp 2) I do the medieval 10 gore dresses 3) the nap always goes up 4) the demonic chanting for slippery linings 5) piecing is indeed period 6) it's so lovely 7) the silly ending for Nord VPN You made my day! Thank you

"As unnecessarily dramatic as possible" is absolutely the aesthetic I go for when I have the spoons to make/wear anything more complicated than pajama bottoms xD

@BattleGn0me 3 месяца назад

As a child I was bullied incessantly for my hidden velvet panels being misaligned. I grew up in a tough, albeit fashion conscious, neighborhood.

@KcKctea Год назад

The amount of magic, aesthetic and drama in every second of your videos makes them an artpiece for sure - each and every one. I can swear you ride a Pegasus, a unicorn, or a Cerberus when riding on your daily errands (and "historically" true versions, for sure :) You definitely can summon each or all of them in that gorgeous ethereal robe.

Oh my goodness, this robe speaks to me. I'm now on the hunt for some dark red/burgundy cotton velvet to match the burgundy cotton sateen I have in my stash. Maybe add some decrotive embroidery to the edging of the bodice down to the hem. Oh goodness the possibilities of extraness for this type of robe are endless. My extra witchy heart thanks ye for stiring it's creativeness. Now only to get my bank account to stop hissing at me for wanting to make a new garment.

She DOES provide a link to the fabric she uses in the video description. Quite pricey !

@samh.3421 Год назад

No one does sponsor segments like Bernadette. Fantastic. I'm sold. Also, fantabulous dressing gown, I found a couple second hand dressing gowns at a thrift store that are velvet, one red, one green, and I can also attest to just how elegant and ephemeral one feels in said dressing gowns. Highly recommend.

@mariahhusted3274 Год назад

I love the red coat she put on at the end it really made me think of Carmen Sandiego. Like “ with Nord VPN where in the world is Carmen Sandiego viewing her content from?”

@tamssnazzystuff Год назад

Lol Bernadette, that ad spot was something else! It was so cute I can believe you rolled across the floor like that, it was Bert Maclin good. 👍👍🤗

@battlebear437 Год назад

It made me think of Sophronia (The Wicker Chicken) from The Finishing School by Gail Carriger.

@christelsmit9223 Год назад

Watching the old Singer do its thing is like watching magic. So elegant and at the same time engineering to be appreciated (especially for it's time). Beautiful 👌🏻 I get the same wonderous/amazed feeling watching it work as I had seeing the inventions in Willy Wonka's factory.

@elizabethclaiborne6461 Год назад

I had completely impressed every kid in the neighborhood by going to the grocery store in McGonagall robe; now I need to up my game having seen what better materials do. Horsehair is impressive stuff. Thank you, Bernadette!

A woman after my own heart. Overly fancy housewear is so much my thing. Also, those _sunglasses_ are amazing, and I am envious.

@tesswi9113 Год назад

Marvel after credit videos has *nothing* on Bernadette! Nord VPN should pay double sponsorship money for this! 😆❤️

@sierratofelt3408 Год назад

Holy whoa, this and she is gorgeous. The loose hair is perfect with the comfy-at-home vibe. And I intensely appreciate that even the great Bernadette can make a rookie mistake like forgetting about ease. Thank you for keeping that in the final edit.

@GrainneMhaol Год назад

And it's an underappreciated teaching tool. For novices like moi, it's incredibly relieving to see that experienced seamstresses can make small errors too

@leslieholland7843 Год назад

I may have to appropriate Holy woah! Trying to quit cursing after my USMC hubby of 20 years passed away and my new sweetie doesn't swear...at all, EVER. It's harder than I thought! Oh my Gosh just doesn't have the impact I am looking for!

@florenna 5 месяцев назад

Ah, I most definitely need a housecoat like that!! Love everything Medieval & Victorian. Only, as I hand-sew everything (no sewing machine), I'd probably make it out of something other than velvet, to save myself from going crazy ;)

@RJMetcalfAuthor Год назад

Oh how I wish where I lived was cold enough for such elegant loungewear!

@danaondrackova3431 Год назад

Me: "why cant you just rotate the fabric?" Bernadette explaining it in a second why you can but not with this fabric I am satisfied with my learning 🙂

@kunegund9690 Год назад

Fun fact! I know this is 19th C, but based on a medieval styling. Medieval people did not give a damn which way the velvet went and completely *would* cut their pieces so it zigzaged up and down. Whether you want to is up to you, but that would create a really cool effect too.

@sylvieodstrcilova5783 Год назад

An example of an ingenious solution of this problem was found in Prague Castle: In the burial garment of Jan Zhořelecký (+1396), all the front pieces were cut in one way and all the back pieces in the other way. As a result, the difference in direction of the velvet fabric was visible only in side view.

@TheP1x3l Год назад

I’m loving all the tailoring techniques involved in the construction of this. Those themselves feel like a ritual when one does them. Invoking powerful thread magics!

@adiposeNarnian Год назад

As a witch who sews, I have never seen sewing as magic, which is peculiar, because it is certainly ritual

@THandP_org Год назад

@@adiposeNarnian imagine my discovery as a parent when my witchling child informed me they saw the magic in crochet and sewing... and felt safer and stronger wearing/sleeping under the clothes and blankets I made. Magic is all around us, if we slow down and notice, I guess?

@dimitriavanleeuwen9758 Год назад

What you think about and feel while you hand stitch definitely goes into the garment :)

@Traci_Websinger Год назад

I agree with all of you, and why I love fiber so much. I primarily crochet and design quilts (maybe some day I'll actually finish one), but love learning everything I can about playing with fibers. So much of yourself goes in to your work. And I love how your child picks up on it.

Always exquisite, and getting better with time

@bartolomeothesatyr Год назад

The sumptuous verdant velvet, the ornate lunate clasp, the flowing sleeves, the potential for dramatically flouncing one's hemline... I must say, that is an unforgettable housecoat. Eccentric and exquisite and elegant as a Pre-Raphaelite painting.

@floraposteschild4184 Год назад

That's what I thought. I can see this robe in a Millais painting.

@leslieholland7843 Год назад

Beautifully eloquent. This English major thanks you.

@thandontantiso3744 Год назад

That robe looks really good.

@Nightingale2023 8 месяцев назад

I am, unashamedly, undoubtedly, wholeheartedly, in agreement with you, Bernadette. The more unnecessarily dramatic, the better! You have been an inspiration for me discovering my own personal style, which is very similar, and learning how to sew and mend. I now basically only thrift clothes, and am starting my journey of learning how to alter, sew, and mend clothes! So, thank you for the entertainment and inspiration.❤❤❤

@DodonaWind Год назад

I absolutely LOVE the unnecessary, but necessary drama you have created with this robe! It's stunning!

@HeatherPhetish Год назад

I made a velvet gown and forgot about directional fabric. The back panels are now dark grey. 😂😩🤦🏼‍♀️ Lesson learnt: don’t try be cheap on fabric to cut corners. This is gorgeousssss 😍🧡

@aprildriesslein5034 Год назад

Curtains can be a good source for velvet, and are especially cheap if they're second hand. I've been making a *very extra* gnome cosplay from a gold Ikea curtain I got in the bargain bin, and it was some of the best $15 I've ever spent! 😄

@dees3179 Год назад

I have a spotted dress with one back panel in the skirt the wrong way up for the same reason. Drives me mad.

@bigbelgianbabe Год назад

Also look for curtains, material at resale shops

@raraavis7782 Год назад

Make sure, to look very carefully at the fabric (in good daylight!) before commiting to buying used curtains, though. Constant UV exposure can really do a number on the dyes and also make (natural fibers especially) very brittle. I've had large window fronts all my life and have some experience with that effect.

@KilikinaIoi79 Год назад

I feel like dressing gowns should be making a comeback with so many people wfh at least part time. I made a few for zoom calls so that I can look like a professional while also wearing my pjs and I was surprised that I use them so much.

@dees3179 Год назад

Last winter we very quickly got to the stage that people were wearing woolly hats in zoom calls. It’s been a bit warmer this year so hopefully we can make it to November before we resort to that. You know your industry is in trouble when the boss is wearing an old leather and fur flying jacket in meeting….non of us can afford heating! The velvet housecoat looks like a much nicer idea.

@ZannaMint Год назад
