Bianca I purchased a supposedly forest green coating wool from either Fashion Fabrics or Mood, mostly because it looked more like teal than forest...and it WAS teal! I'm RV camping right now (still have my sewing machine with me!) but when we get home next week I'll comment again to tell you which company I got it from. Even though it's meant to be coating it's not super thick. It's going to be a cape!

Lovely. Love the purple as well. My Mom had a skirt suit that color, sadly it wasn't there when we went through her things when she passed away. I think it was pleated though. If it was still there, and I had it I would have to send it to you. I'll keep my eyes open for a forest green pencil skirt. If you show what kind of forest green you wanted that would be great.

Fantastic pattern! A great 1940's look with modern fabrics and modern techniques. Re: attaching sleeves "on the flat" - I've been doing that for more than 50 years, ever since I noticed that clothing manufacturers used that method for attaching sleeves. I find it much easier - especially for inexperienced sewers who can be intimidated by inset sleeves - and I have never noticed any difference in the finished product. So thanks for highlighting that technique. 😊

I'm so with you on the colours of fabric available. Back when I was in high school, I tried on a berry-coloured home-sewn 1950s suit. Alas, it was s size too small for me. I was recently told that some colours' availability is affected by the auto industry, because the colorants for autos wind up being used for markers, fabric dye, and all sorts of other things.

Especially since I know what you are talking about concerning brand new pins that are dull.😺 You were speaking of taking in the side seams for a snugger fit, I noticed that top and/or dress would be adorable with a full bat wing sleeve. 💖 Keep Up the Good Work Bianca !! 💖

By the way, I made a medieval coat out of the dark green almost black wool. I love it.

I love the progression of this little series of videos, watching you work your way from a woven block to the knit top you wanted to copy 👍 The top is gorgeous, it looks like it could be quite flattering for those of us with lumps and bumps we're not thrilled about! Btw, have you encountered Gütermann's Maraflex thread? It's a stretchy thread - not like shirring elastic, like regular sewing thread that's elastic. It works exactly like regular sewing thread in the machine, you can put it in both the bobbin and top thread and off you go, not like shirring elastic that can only go in the bobbin. You can sew a regular straight stitch with it and it'll stretch with the fabric, which means you could probably sew knits on your beloved 99K. I know other big thread brands have their own versions, there's one called either Setaflex or Seraflex, I forget which.
@TheClosetHistorian

I watched this earlier ad forgot to comment but I was looking at renaissance fabrics and I remembered you mentioned wanting a red wool! They have a broadcloth that's a bit cooler toned than I think you wanted but it's pretty close to the right color. It's 85% wool and 25% nylon for $25/yd. I have some of their rose colored wool broadcloth (which I'm debating about buying more of lol) and I really love it! Idk if it's quite what you were looking for but I figured I'd mention it if you wanted to go take a look. Knits scare me but watching you play around with them is helping! I've only ever worked with wovens but now I'm thinking I may need to get a machine that can handle them (my 1892 singer treadle is lovely but she would HATE knits) and try them out sometime. Can't wait to see what you're working on next! 😄

The colour I'm having a hard time finding lately is periwinkle. Someone recently asked me to alter a periwinkle top and I just COULD NOT find matching thread, and then I realized that I haven't seen that colour in fabrics in a very long time (I went with the bluest lavender thread available.) Berry isn't usually my jam (but is delicious as jam,) but I love teal. I don't usually have an issue finding it - are you looking exclusively for wool? - because I've seen plenty in other fibers. This looks amazing - and I wonder what you could do with some stripe manipulation?

You can get ground walnut shells and emery powder on line. It's the emery powder that sharpens the point. The walnut shells help keep the pins clean of hand oils.

The Singer only does straight stitch, and I need "fancy" stretchy stitch patterns for working on stretch knit projects is all! The Singer 99k is just off screen waiting for me to get back to my woven projects ✨

Wel I’ve had my Bernina 830 for 43 years now. We’ve sown everything from baby clothes to wedding dresses together. And I know exactly how she likes it. But one thing she does not like is if I sow over pins. Once in a while I try and every time pin and needle breaks. So I’ve kind of come to just do as she want it 😏

This is why me and the Singer 99k are bffs, she doesn't mind my pins 🤣

My fav colour. Maybe, as you mentioned it, the millenials can teach gen z a sense of humour. Their lives seem so bogged down and hard done by 😂

Forest green is such a standard colour for wool? German Trachten for men are almost always made of forest green wool?

Stylemaker fabrics has your Merlot, Teal and Olive gabardine for $18.99 a yard.

Sadly it looks like their gabardines are poly/rayon blends not wool 🧵 I wish I could feel coatings in person to know if they are too thick for a skirt 😂

Short form isn't for me either. I can appreciate a 5-10 min video, but most of the RU-vid content I consume exists in the 30-75 minute range.
