My go to when I lived in a cold place were wool dance tights. I believe they're Capezio.

I know this is an older video, but I just found you. I've been wanting to start making drawstring nightgowns and this gave me a good base to work from. Thank you!

The thing about pregnancy is that it’s a phase and it’s different from one pregnancy to another. One thing I learned is that if you want 4 kids, for example, is to get them all done quick, successively.. 😅 It will be hard, imperfect and stressful years full of juggling, but you work smart by having them all toddlers at roughly the same time, so managing them would be the same, and they grow up about the same time rather than that process drags out over many years, with schooling etc. I am glad my kids are all grown up and the last kid is soon to college. I am free now even to do whatever I want to focus on. All I can say is that you’ll be looking back at this video and will have fond memories of your early years, trust me.

Mariah Can you give us an update? I have really enjoyed your channel. I hope you are well 😻

Hi Mariah I am very interested in your linen bloomers. Would it be possible to purchase the pattern? Thank you!

It makes me so sad to hear people say they hate cat's... they seriously can be the best pet's of all. They are unique from any other kind of pet, and so entertaining, and can be so rewarding in so many way's. Ya, the litter box sucks... but that is usually the only downside. I understand cat's quite well, so I know how to speak their language, and that is *definitely* important to making them the "best cat ever". You *have* to speak with funny voices, always calling their name, training them to come to you, and make sure you play with them constantly! Otherwise they will become somewhat 'deaf' to your human world and will just expect food from you.

This by far is the most beautiful piece of sewing information that I’ve seen,thanks for taking the time to make this very detailed video.😊 I subscribed 🎉

I hope everything went well and the 3 of you are enjoying each other. Things will work out - have faith and enjoy the journey - each stage ends too soon. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I go back to some of them as they were full of valuable information.

Thank you! Interesting and very helpful! 🌹

clear elastic is the solution for your sewing'

You are lovely. I am thinking you deserve all the grace you can get... If I was near you, I would try to take some of the pressure off you.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby!!! Saw the photos on Instagram ❤❤❤❤❤

Hope you had a safe delivery in recent days.

It's okay to feel however you feel, you are allowed to feel whatever you need to feel. But don't think that this moment, which in all fairness is completely out of your hands to "deal with" as it is more than likely 100% hormonal, is in any way indicative of the kind of person you are or the kind of mother you now are. You ARE strong and you CAN do it the way you dreamt you would, it's just a matter of getting there and remembering to be kind to yourself. Not everything can be powered through.

I hope you and your family are doing good.

I started doing something similar with my full circle skirt pattern. Instead of 8 even patern pieces, I use 10: 4 in front and 6 in back. It's always swishy and draped

Your audience is thinking of you. Hope you are doing well 💕

You are a great mom and person, give yourself a big hug. You are worth it and love you.

Remembered this video today and just wanted to encourage you in motherhood. Praying everything went OK with the birth and encouraging your family through the difficulty of post partum. The depression can be very real, so don't downplay it. Lean into God, your husband, and whomever around y'all that you need to. Don't be afraid to ask for help. It absolutely gets better, but it took us a while after our first to feel fully joyful about parenthood.

I made a flannel and a Heavy wool Fabric. To make a petticoat underneath my skirt.And that kept me warm. This winter. I got the heavy wool fabric at amazon.

too much math

Part of being a mother is learning to receive help from others. I hope you have a good doctor and is guiding you on supplements. A very important one is iron. That has a huge impact on your mental health. Just having a period depletes it and you’re making a whole person! I know you’re probably a mom by now. You’re in my prayers Mariah❤

Love and prayers. Please find a midwife to help you through this time. Homebirth midwives are great during a rough pregnancy.

Girl, don't feel bad. I am 2 months post partum from my 7th child. I hated every minute of every pregnancy, but motherhood, that's the stuff! My kids are cool, smart, and funny and such a joy (most of the time). Try not to beat yourself up. By the time I'm watching this, you've already had the baby, but there's a whole lot of guilt that can show up after they're born, too. Love the baby, do your best. Give yourself grace and get some rest! This, too, shall pass.

Hi from 2024! Would you consider doing a similar video for the new Nosferatu movie that’s coming out? I’ve been looking at some of the costumes and they look incredible, and Robert Eggers is known for trying to be as historically accurate as possible. And I feel like we don’t have a ton of 1840s period films so I’m really excited to see what this looks like!

I’ve been sewing everything for my daughter and now I want to sew my own wardrobe as well. Thanks for this video!❤

❤

Wow! Brilliant video with lots of good information on..... Rules! Thank you so much, a lovely heartwarming video. I feel more organised just watching your video. X

Just a small kind reminder that you are cherished and that there is someone out there who remembers you every now and then, and that is rooting for your happiness.

Hope all is well we miss you!

Great to see that... I made it too. Plans from WoodPrix helped me a lot :)

Thank you for your story. Now let me express my gratitude for the drafting of the secret formula. It impressed my folk-dress teacher in Norway. You made THE difference. I have used it to make a pair of staies that are witout boning, as most of the folkdress staies from Norway, are without boning. I tell folks of that video so some good can come out of your- in-waiting-time. I am a stay at home mother, and allso live at a farm (sheep). So now your new life takes form. And I wish you good luck with the times you go through. DHL

Hi Mariah. I've responded to you in my mind several times, like, months ago, but never actually got something in g written. But I just thought I'd say really quickly that I'm thinking of you and hoping you're doing well. You are such a light. It's OK to rest too. Take care! ❤️

I agree with what wveryong is saying. I'm here for you, not the sewing (as mugh as I love them). I've loved the videwos of you just talking about your life, your chickens, and even your story with Caleb. As someone who had a lot of pregnacy trouble, even spending my last month in the hospital, I can relate to how rough it can be. I think we all have had those seasons. Just know were here for you, and support you in this journey.

Dedication to bloomers. ❤🎉

You mentioned the baby probably coming in late November, so I hope it's going well right now and doesnt ruin your Thanksgiving

Congratulations Mariah! I too was surprised by my first pregnancy and was really unhappy for the entire pregnancy (and my second one). I was sick the entire time for both pregnancies, and just wanted to eat. But as soon as my girls were born everything was better and being a mother is the best thing I could ever want. They are now 13 and 15 and I'm already getting sad about them going off to college. Like your other followers said, hang in there and give yourself grace. Being pregnant is hard, and it's ok to not enjoy it. Take things one day at a time, and you'll be just fine! Much love to you!

I've watched your videos before and after 2 weeks (plus lots more time I won't admit to) I am watching it again. The opening sentence had me in stitches ! Almost fell on the floor laughing! It is sooooo what is happening with me! And with all the time I've put in thus far I am not going to give up yet...those these are becoming extremely expensive knickers! Thanks again for posting :)

Hi ther can you plz tell me how to fold the fabric and how may meters

I’m so sorry love!!! I have two kids and it’s so hard!!! I also sew and I’m also a fiber artist. Being an artist and being a mom is just so hard. Your first baby of art is not getting fed. Plus people always say pregnancy is a magical beautiful time!!! But it’s not for some people. It’s hard. It’s so hard. Money and find out how to change your purchasing. But you got this and it’s ok to not to be bubbly and happy. You’re making life and sometimes that’s not what people know you as. It’s also hard for the husband because they are just as surprised as you are about the change. I hope you’re getting support!! I hope that it gets better. It is so hard to admit you can’t do the love you had set out to do. Sewing! The plus side the second is hard but you know what to expect and that’s nice. Thanks for being real. We are all there for you. Some people make it look lovely. And maybe it is. But I think they are just playing it up. Good luck!!!

this was an awesome video! I love historical clothing and this was an amazing video to get to see every little detail we can!

I love your style of merging historical clothing and make it work for modern day. I would also watch that if they are kids clothes size, or even doll size :P It gives me ideas how to incorporate historical clothing in my normal outfits and not make it obvious it's historical. I can already picture it, cute [insert historical period] clothes but make it baby/toddler appropriate :P A Vlog style would be much easier for you on the filming/editing, and would still show the sewing journey and after some time the result :) Your pattern-drawing technique of drawing a staise bodice on a circle curve is still revolutionary, I've seen it referenced in other places, mainly on Pinterest. So don't be too hard on yourself! Hang in there!

I was with you for a second. Then my brain shut off lol Hopefully it'll make sense with experience

My son, my first was in the 98th percentile but I pushed him out naturally and he seemed pretty average in all honesty. Pregnancy hormones are a hell of a thing, I hope things level out for you soon.

Hang in there Babe. I'm an old man, so I can't claim to know what you're dealing with, but I have seen many young women go through similar things. You will find your way and you will adjust. Love You. Keep going and let us see your baby when you can.

I'm a mom of 4, what i see is a woman that is going to be a great mom. It's ok to not feel happy, let it be ok to not feel happy. Be ok with feeling crap, and not do it perfectly how you wanted it to be. Having kids sometimes means letting it all go, not having fixed dinner and just give them a sandwich with peanutbutter. Try and find things that work in the moment, a week or month later it will be different again. Life and raising kids means letting go and learn to ride the waves of life, balance and disbalance are both part of it. It sounds all up there and woohy, but that's what raising kids has taught me. Mine are 12, 9,7 and almost 2 now. I have 4 illnesses where i really can't be like the person and mom i always wanted to be. But i take good care of them and they feel i love them every day. About the content, if you don't feel up to it just don't. Let people know where you are in life and that you just can't. I personally, as a mom, love to see you just thrifting maternity stuff, or baby stuff, or making that. Don't think it needs to be a certain way. I hope the birth will go how you want to, but your first... you most off the time learn everything how you don't want it the next time... But i do wish you a wonderfull birth. Remember that every pregnancy and birth is different, and you can't compare yourself with others or even with your expectations and dreams. Sometimes you just need to take it one day at a time, and it's ok if you need to take it one our or one minute at a time. <3

As a mom of two, under 3, there is no perfect parent, and as long as you love them and do your best, thats all anyone can ask of you. I find comfort in that.

I haven't worn pants in over a decade, no matter the weather. I just stick some long johns or fleecy leggings under the skirt, and have thicker/heavier skirts for actual cold weather (under 40 degrees F). All my skirts are below-knee-length, no matter the weather. I wear knee socks over the leggings, and boots , sneakers or loafers depending on the rain/snow/ice/mud situation. I also adapt to "it's raining sideways" weather by choosing a wool-mix or stretch-knit fabric, because linen or cotton will get heavy and stick to your legs if they get soaking wet., and don't dry very fast. They have been hard to find lately, but I used to have a whole wardrobe of no-wrinkle mid-calf heavy-ish rayon travel skirts in earth tones that were awesome for everything. Can't remember the brand, and can't find anything similar lately.

Dear Marie, I am sure you have already had a lot of encouragement from other followers and hopefully friends and family. I have 4 kids myself, the youngest is one and a half and a lot of my friends are having their second and ask me how do you do it with 4? Well, you grow! I was overwhelmed with one and but I learned and then the next one came along etc. You don’t have to be ready for 4 children now … no one would be. You are doing well and I am sure you will be a great mom. And I say that because we are learning as we go as moms and that is ok. So if he isn’t already here all the best for the birth and your new life as a mom. It’s incredibly life-changing, exhausting but also rewarding, joyful and so many more sewing and knitting opportunities 🤣🤣🤣. Lots of love from a stranger ❤ 2 Cor 12:9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. … and now I burnt my cookies
