Do you think style was popular because it accommodated pregnancy?

I love smocking.. would it be adaptable to maternity and nursing wear?

I absolutely love and adore using my leather thimbles. Not usually the coin types, unless I have hardcore needle driving. Clover and behind make great ones. I prefer these to metal and plastic because my finger doesn’t perspire in them.

Watched many times to see how you created the loop for the tip of feathers tied together. Are you sewing or just wrapping. Not sure what you are pulling? The loop?

Coming back to this video series to look at some new-to-me smocking types... Would LOVE if you did a quick walk through on that lattice-type stitch on your shirt collar! It's beautiful.

I learned embroidery from my mother, young enough that a random commercial thimble might actually have fit, but I'm guessing they never fit her either, because they definitely don't fit me as an adult. Even now I've actually having learned how to use one from a foray into leather, if it's too small it just comes off after a few stitches. So, yeah, I should probably go custom, really gives you a boost in that speedrunning! ... You're meant to do WHAT with a hammer?!

This is fabulous … the first time I have seen to melt it into the thread. I would in the past pull it through my fingers to “melt it” without much luck. It was better than nothing but this by far the best way I have seen to solve all the problems I have had with handsewing.

I love this idea. Does the wax come off the thread eventually, like in the final wash? I just like how soft the thread is when its not waxed. What kind of threads should you not wax, if any? Is silk okay?

As a tourist guide on a traditional Dutch windmill, our grainmill was built as a textile mill outside the city of Leiden. In the process of broadcloth for sailors and navy, the weaven wool garment was but in a bath with water, soap and human urine. Two men holding eachother stamped the garment. A mechanism of hamers was invented on wind force with a mill. Could not find English word but in Dutch volmolen. Because of the urine used and supplied for a few cents by textile workers, those mills were often called stinky mills and built outside the city because of that

@gailrussell9104 5 ай бұрын
I just watched another video. You're supposed to apply heat after using the beeswax, pressing between muslin cloth layers. Pull through through the fabric layers under light pressure with the iron on top.

I reproduced the Scarlett O’Hara burgundy gown for the Marietta (Atlanta) GWTW Museum. On the original gown, the feathers were 3 layered. I hand bent the shafts, as you did, after layering, then let them sit overnight to ensure they stayed. I hated using a curling iron as it damaged the tips of the feathers. As I noted from Walter Plunkett, he stroked the feathers with his hands multiple times to fluff the feathers. I did so as well using the heat and oils of my hands to give the feathers a more aged, less stiff, appearance.

What's wrong with cheap needles? I've been using needles from Michael's (and other craft stores) and never encountered an issue. But to be fair, I don't sew much. So I'm just curious why cheap needles are bad, because as a novice, it's not immediately clear.
@ThimbleAndPlume 6 ай бұрын
Great question. I am talking about some of the super cheap ones. Sometimes they have burrs, or aren't very sharp, or the eyes have extra metal in them. These are the worst when you are sewing with silk or other fine fabrics. Also, if you do hand sew often, the needles bend after a while, and I find the higher quality ones bend sooner. I have also had them snap on me. The higher quality ones also tend to slide through the fabric better. And it really isn't a big difference in price. A couple bucks at most. I do a lot of handsewing, so its worth it to me to spend more.

I think these two stitches are easy to confuse, because you "fell seams" but are actually doing a whip stitch, but a lot of tutorials mistakenly call it a fell stitch. Thanks for clarifying the two stitches and demonstrating them so clearly.
