@Tina06019 3 года назад

My problem with hand sewing: needing to take apart a hand sewn seam when I have sewn the wrong pieces together. Argh! (And unlike Miss Bernadette, my hand stitching is only about 6 stitches per inch, not 12+ stitches per inch!) My love of hand sewing: finishing projects in the car on long drives. I have found that hand sewing a long construction seam results in a beautifully strong and supple seam, but I simply cannot sit still long enough to sew that way.

@goldengryphon 3 года назад

@@Tina06019 Most of my hand sewing is some form of "I'll finish it in the car!" While we're on our way to a RenFaire or SCA event. Or I'm doing a super quick invisible hem for karate uniforms. Or sewing on patches, ornamentation, buttons, skirt hooks, hook and eyes (The tapes are much easier, though I get a thrill out of sewing a row of hook and eye fastenings. ), or some other small thing. I use crochet to keep my hands busy in the car - it's much easier to frog a few rows than to take a seam ripper to a painstakingly sewn seam. Much less frustration and anger, too.

@angelicraver 3 года назад

I am a Native American seamstress and this skirt is EXTREMELY similar to the Apache and Navajo camp dresses! Every single technique you highlighted in this video is very much alive and well in the Native American community. I was actually surprised to hear that this took so long to make, we can usually knock out a skirt like this in about 5 hours. BUT I do want to point out a couple of differences, we don't move the needle in our hand, we move the fabric and we throw the fabric on a taught thread to spread the gathers and it's all muscle memory to figure out how wide to make the stitches. SOME of the older fashioned Pueblo tribes use a double needle technique that just spreads gathers like nothing else. it's so Gorgeous! I use it in my O'odham clothing when I decide to gather. Hmmm... Now I wonder if I should use my skillshare account to figure out how to film the Indigenous twists on old Victorian techniques and put it on youtube??

@TheAwesomeNatta 3 года назад

Past generations were just as inspired by the past like we are - for example, in the medieval times they were very interested in the ancient greek and roman culture, especially their art. The victorians themselves had a special fixation, I'm pretty sure, but I can't remember what it was. Edit: I don't remember every parallell between medieval and ancient greek/roman stuff but look for example at their siluettes, easiest with women - flowy skirts, empire style busts, etc.

@maggie1711 3 года назад

Well I can't remember if it was the Victorian's or the Edwardian's but I know one of the eras unearthed some ancient Egyptian tombs and then there became a huge fasination with ancient Egyptian fashion and culture. Sometimes they would even throw parties with real mummies so they could show them off and examine them. (Definitely not cool nowadays) but just goes to show as people we are always curious as to how others did things. 😊 Edited after some quick research it was the Victorian's and from what I gathered its called "Egyptomania" I believe.

So many American crafters have trouble with Mathematics imho because the unit of measurement which has been inflicted upon you is ridiculously archaic, requiring the frequent conversion of irregular fractions; whereas The Metric System requires only simple arithmetic (as v few fields require measurements of less than 1mm & even then, they're in decimal). Everyone, & not just creatives, would have a far easier time if "the old white men, afraid of change" had adopted The Metric System with the rest of the planet over 50 years ago.

It is soooooo much easier to do sewing math in the metric system.

But- only if it’s whole numbers, and usually only because I’m following an American set of instructions and I can’t be bothered to convert it over. I am very grateful that we teach metric to children. It makes so much more sense and is so much easier! It’s also much more precise (not surprisingly, a millimetre is much more precise than an 1/8th of an inch), and so where precision matters, even Americans use metric- like NASA. So why they haven’t all converted to the far superior and easier system, I just don’t know. The poor things are torturing themselves with maths that is much more difficult than it needs to be!

In high school home ec(1988), when we had to hand sew cuffs to our homemade sweatshirts, I remember taking my sewn on cuff to the teacher for inspection.

It's OK for men to learn how to sew. I had a male student in one of my classes. He built a beautiful bed for his wife and wanted a quilt for it. When he asked her to make one, she basically said not a chance. So he came into the shop and asked how to make a quilt, I invited him to take one of my classes. I mean he even wanted to know what kind of sewing machine he'd need. Long story short he took on the project, and him being a wood worker was used to precision, made his quilt in record time which made it seem like he had done it all before. He was very gifted. All it takes is desire and determination. Give it a thought, you might enjoy the challenge.

Was the garment made with 5 different types of thread because she was too ill to leave the house, because there was no thread to be had, because she had lost her mind, because she had a lazy personality type, or because this was a growing trend among makers in this decade? This is why historical accuracy is never entirely accurate 😭.

Edited to add- if the measurements must be precise, American departments like NASA do actually use the metric system. Because 1 millimetre is much more precise than 1/8th of an inch, after all. And it’s all so lovely and easy for conversions up. 10 millimetres in a centimetre. 100 centimetres in a metre. 1000 metres in a kilometre (and all of the words mean what they say too- centi meaning hundred, kilo meaning 1000). The same cannot be said for imperial measurements. I have no idea how many inches to a foot, how many feet to a yard, how many yards to a mile. Because none of them make sense! I will always die on this hill- metric is by far the superior measurement system, and also much easier to use!
