That looks very similar to my Mennonite grandmother's old Singer, which had probably belonged to her mother or grandmother (my grandmother was born around 1912). It was sold at action in the late 1990s, and had been in use through to at least the early 1980s. Could be the same machine for all I know!

Just because people's bathing habits were different back then, didn't necessarily mean they We're dirty or they smelled

i love your style!!!! please go ahead with your adventure!

17:58 Ooooooo, is that a Genderqueer flag face mask? 😯

I wore a medical corset for over a year. Several years later I tried on a corset and it felt wonderful.

Compared to today's American, they indeed were thinner.

i love u mamas

Thinking about buying one of those shoes instand of xxi century heels

Am I going crazy or did part one of this disappear?🙃 Decided to rewatch this series and cannot find the first video about the corset☹️

Also don't forget that they were eating fresh wholefoods and not McDonald's 😂😂😂 that's gonna make everyone a lot less stinky

Does anyone know what this lovely garment is called? I want to sew one for myself but I have no idea where to even look for reference 😢

What pattern did Bernadette use for these I really like how it worked and wanted to make a set myself

people get very alarmed when I tell them I only wash my hair about once a month -- they assume my hair is smelly and dirty and that I don't clean it at all, which is not true. I like to experiment with living history a bit & I use the method of combing your hair clean -- which works really well! -- so well, that I think my hair is as clean as if I washed it more regularly according to the modern method, and it's definitely in better condition than when I used to wash it every few days. I cannot stress enough that I do not stink

Hand stitching extraordinaire!

omg, I love the Abyssinian piggie!! 🥰

As a relative newcomer to sewing (2 years) I am finding that I am attracted to the vintage machines as opposed to the newest designs with fancy computerized options. Just yesterday I purchased a 70 year old machine from another sewing nerd...I drove 90 minutes each way just to check it out and then I handed over my $50 and subsequently brought it home & polished my new(old) friend. I'm looking forward to making beautiful things...with a deep connection to the history that has brought me on this journey. Thank you Bernadette for demonstrating this awesome machine :)

Hooray! I have been wanting to sew a linen pirate's shirt and this one is just beautiful! 😍

I swear your videos always put in me in such a calm meditative state 💕

A joke is all well and good but did she actually trick money from people?

1890s dress shirts, (if I am not mistaken in the context of the video) simply “hit different”.

The dress (obviously), your hair, the song, the camera shots, the sunlight, the setting, the props 😭 it’s so beautiful!!! 😍

I love the regency period! I’m also a fan of womens' 1920’s and 1940’s fashion. Also, the 1960’s minis and roman sandles or gogo boots and Soho everything, mocassins and fringed leather vests. All very cool!

I love how “Made in China” has a space in “made”.

I'm guessing there's a Regency outer garment project video coming our way....?

I learned to sew on a treadle and I want another so badly! I do appreciate all the features on my new singer however I miss sewing on a treadle.

this is an old video but im questioning if maybe the reason the lining wasn't as wide as the outer shell was due to the yardage of the silk being not as wide as the wool? and maybe circa 2016 bernadette just cut the panels with less width to ensure she had enough of the lining?

I was machine hemming a project as I watched this. I ran out of bobbin just in time to backstitch the last edge. So, sorry for taking your luck 🍀!

I always love how refined and beautiful you always look while sewing. Meanwhile I am a gremlin hunched over without fail. (I'm guessing that's something you are careful with though with your scoliosis?)

You should try making bobbin lace!

Your little knitted Dalek is SOOO CUTE!!! Great episode, too, btw :-)

Many thanks for that clear 3D view of the whip stitch felling, it's exactly what I've been looking for. I was getting hung up on the details of the angles the needle should be passing through the layers of fabric for a consistently neat and secure result (while feeling that I could do with a third hand, so that cushion technique might be useful, too.) If my dabbling in this aspect of history takes off and revives some medieval fashion trends I'll be sure to credit you for your help!

Hello I'm back again because I love this video and it helps with DnD World building.

I can barely sew, and I want to make some for myself! I can work up to it. This needs to come back, yes!

Hi! Love your channel. Got your book. Under the current world, i must ask if you have a position On Gaza and Palestine, as silence is less and less an option. ✌️

Bernadette, you are too funny!

To change subject. 😃 Your take on really ancient north European clothes. Pre 1 000 ad, but not Roman or ancient Greek. Archaeologists have some understanding of what people actually wore. Which is completely different from Hollywood stuff.

I've missed your videos 💖

Marvelous long hair, compliments

That mass produced thing is no glory. Your work is the glory. I love your channel and I wish you all success

I love your earring!

I really love that guinea pig just hanging out like that

This was a very informative watch. Learning about day to day history especially focused on women is so important and there’s much to learn from our ancestors we often belittle. Thank you very much. I ordered the book by Sarah Bendall and am looking forward to reading it. @Bernadette, it’s great to see new content here. You are such an inspiration.

As someone who worked on Savile Row and knows many tailors as a result, I've always understood that you can't lengthen a tailored jacket, the amount of work and cost involved that would probably result in a mess means you might as well buy a reproduction sack coat from somewhere like Darcy clothing instead.

THE ONLY THING I WANT TO KNOW IS WHAT THAT LITTLE FELLAS NAME IS!

There's many wrongdoings today, too.

I have to admit I still gasped in a 19th century male manner when I saw the skeletal deformation part

I love this episode, I’ve watched it several times over. I have recently found a retailer on Etsy that sells linen undergarments that are meant to be worn beneath modern bras (so many more sell cotton, but I’d honestly prefer linen for the odor prevention and cleanliness features). My dream is to buy these undergarments and slowly change out my wardrobe to modern versions of chemises and phase out my modern fabrics. I haven’t decided how it will look ultimately, but I’d love to avoid handwashing my bras so often!

I don’t understand the beating of the clothes with a stick while washing them, as featured at the end of this short. Can anyone explain?

You can never convince me that washing in a bowl of water can clean you 💀💀

Actually funny af. Wont watch it though
