This skirt is so beautiful. I love the fabric and shape . I love the false button front and my favourite is that tiny floral pattern on the binding. That makes it very special. I'll add this to my list of skirts to make. The fork trick is cool . Thank you for sharing lovely ❤❤

Hi! The dress is gorgeous you did a great job and don't think about any uneven stiching, noone's gonna study it that closly to even notice! But during the reveal I just couldn't shake the thought of you in this dress but without the waist sinching channel. I think if you keep only the underbust channel you could basicly make it into an empire waisted dress. Especially this fabric colour with black ribbon in my mind gives Jane Austen vibes and I think you would look amazing in this style!

I actually did a modernized regency dress last winter! I used an 1810 pattern but adjusted it to be worn over a modern bra and made it mid-calf length. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap2XZYWqhb1kh9ksi=9ZMqZipOAIkoGQX1 But definitely a similar concept

When it comes to flaws in things generally we are much more critical of our things than we ever would be of someone else's. Ask yourself what you'd tell another person if they had made it. Go from there. It's totally good.

It's beautiful. That colour is very nice . I love the double cinched waist , it's very flattering too. I have the driftwood pattern , I know I'd like the neckline to be very modest for me too. The ruffle at the bottom looks darling. Is the linen rayon blend a soft , non scratchy blend ? It look comfortable and warm . I need to learn how to alter patterns for myself too. Thank you for sharing lovely ❤❤

This is a slightly heavier fabric that's not super soft initially, but softens up nicely within a few washes. I feel like this has become my seen sweet spot: taking pre-existing patterns and playing to see how I can use them as the base of something a bit different

The dress came out so cute!! I hope it is in fact as comfy and cozy as it looks! :D I couldn't see the stitch lines being uneven at all! Though, admittedly, during the time you talked about it I was getting yelled at by a cat (she insists she needs to sit on my arms, which are busy!) so I couldn't look especially closely!

Thanks! I think added adjustability always makes someone extra comfy. I'm trying to embrace the "3 feet" rule: if someone wouldn't notice it from three feet away, you probably don't need to stress about it!

I like souvenir earrings or pendants, I mostly go for small easily carried things. One year at the Ohio Ren Festival I bought a painting of king Arthur, it was around 2'x3'. I was lucky that I was able to pick it up on my way out. The hard part was remembering where the booth was. It was my first time there.

Lovely to see what you bought xx I sew/ hand craft heaps of items that I would love to sell at a renaisance fair, but I live in the deep south of New Zealand, and there are NO events ever. Also, just positively intended feedback, the sound quality was terrible, it was very hard to stay with you and listen.

These events are getting popular, so you never know when one might spring up! I don't have a secondary mic, so I was relying on camera audio. I do plan on getting a lav mic eventually, but little by little since I don't earn much from making videos... When I do, it typically goes straight to buying fabric 🤭

I love that color! Just a tip for anyone reading this: when cutting something out from a pillowcase, you will get much less shifting of the fabric if you iron it first. The sewn together sides seem to pull the fabric in weird directions when cutting it out.
@OdessaDenby
@OdessaDenby Ай бұрын
Yes! That's why I pinned the two layers together before cutting. I didn't talk about it in VO, but I find even if you iron it (which I didn't in this case 😅) pinning is still really helpful if it's stitched together.

Patreon has a new feature that allows you to add a pay to unlock feature for certain posts. So if you don't want to commit to a monthly subscription, but just get certain content, you can. It was my intention to set up a $1 fee for the PDF pattern pieces of this project so you could use them for reference, but apparently $3 is the minimum Patreon will allow you to charge (plus fees from the app, coming out to about $4.50 USD). My lowest Patreon tier (all tiers get all benefits) is $3, so it seemed silly to charge more for a single post. I hope you understand. If you want the pattern and other extra content, consider becoming a $3 patron for one month.

Also love love the wiliam morris fabric, I've been wanting for a while a printed fabric that would have a medieval feel to it to make the lining with a peek of a huge hood and that might be just the one I need ^^

@@OdessaDenby To be honest it was not my idea : a girl in my music theory class 5 years ago had a hooded cape lined with a fabric that had this type of vibe. When I complimented her on it, she said she sewed it herself, and I've been wanting to make one like hers ever since. Now I know a few things about how to sew, enough for such a project, and I've found the perfect fabric thanks to you: definitely will order some and do that very soon 😀

It looks amazing with the gores! Makes the black bows pop even more. I used to have a skirt that worked pretty much like this: two flat panels for front and back, and then very ample pleated gores on the sides, with the panels held together by side lacing. It was a staple of my wardrobe for years and years. Definitely recommend this kind of garment.

Haha, I am often tempted to skip mockups too, but for really fitted things, it's so good to have that opportunity to make adjustments! Stays and corsets can especially be uncomfortable if they don't fit you like a glove.
