A "Victorian" Blouse & 1940's Pants - Sewing Vlog

[@dlsgl407]

I think having the plain black on the back of the blouse helps focus the eye on that fabulous print - happy circumstance!

[@AngelaCostumery]

I think it makes it more flattering too!

[@kirstenpaff8946]

When I saw pictures of the blouse in your Sewing Through the Decades video, I didn't even realize it had such a whimsical print. Maybe I am just oblivious, but I think the blouse could pass as "normal" at first glance and definitely works as a day to day garment.

[@vaerminanocturnal]

I'm obsessed with this blouse. It is everything ❤❤❤❤

[@AdirondackRuby]

"...and quickly realized I shouldn't be considering it, I should be doing it." That actually made me snort. Shame about your buttonholes not cooperating.

[@samanthaclonch9544]

I love this outfit so much!!! It really suits you and looks fantastic!! I particularly love the blouse!! From the ladies to the ruffly collar and sleeves to the contrast between the front and back panels, it's just SO WONDERFUL!!

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

Very well said.

[@emoooooly7350]

You made a great call with the trim. It really ties the whole outfit together. I really like this style of video, its like spending the day with you while you sew.

[@joannemcmillan9201]

Angela you are a very talented maker! It’s why we watch. Part of sewing is finding the best way to get the job done, and you are very good at that. I love this outfit, that blouse is gorgeous and I have been trying to get a perfect part of black pants for a couple decades now. BTW I think there is a moment in the process for all of us where we decide whether we like and enjoy what we are doing or not. I’ve been sewing for 50+ years and have hit that place many times. Nice to know I’m not alone.

[@berkleypearl2363]

Can I just say how much I love the black trim on the collar. It makes me very very happy

[@winnievaughan]

Me too! It makes me so excited for Halloween even tho it’s August right now hehe. It’s sort of subtly gothic but also glamorous and classy.

[@LadyShihita]

Angela you are always sooo hard on yourself. I just wanted to let you know you're doing great and you don't have to constantly apologize.

[@shybunny2759]

This blouse might be my favorite thing you've done. It's quirky and classy at the same time.

[@DulaPearl]

O.m.G. i have that exact same fabric and had no idea what to do with it!!! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I am going to try and attempt this. Love your channel btw. Also, for anyone who wants to know the fabric she is using for the shirt is J. Wecker Frisch queen of we'en card panel. Happy sewing!!

[@imagatorvetmom]

I adore this outfit. The blouse with the black back matching the pants makes for a startling glorious reveal to the front view. You should make your mark on this one.

[@karengradzki3808]

I really like this outfit. The pants look like a nice comfortable, stylish fit. The print is so unique the way you used it. I’ll be looking at fabric panels differently now.

[@katieintraining]

Yay! The "silly rules" question was mine. Sometimes I am lucky enough to teach others how to sew (mostly 10/11 year olds) and I always tell them that any method that gets the job done is a good method.

[@IteMaledicti]

This outfit really does suit you and i love the use of whimsy in your designs.

[@adamsransom]

While I LOVE your elaborate and historical garments, I'm really glad that you've been making clothes from a more modern period - I'm switching over to sewing a lot of my wardrobe and so watching you make shirts and pants and everyday jackets etc has been really really helpful and inspiring.

[@arial1051]

Love the high waist-ed look of the pants! Definitely a happy accident! And the blouse is so freaking cute. Great video

[@jacquelinekastil]

Love it!! Making a vintage pair of pants is on my ultimate to do list but I'm so intimidated by them!

[@KoiduKeiuKasari]

I love the shirt, I love the cut and the fabrics you used for it so much.

[@Sunnyandshiny777]

I LOVE the blouse. It’s so fun and nobody else on earth can say they have that outfit! It turned out beautifully

[@kljlee9187]

Brilliant outfit! Love the fabric, but especially enjoyed the way you chose to film this video. It was informative, but hearing your thought process throughout was especially pleasing. It’s quite easy when locked away in our sewing space to bog ourselves down with doubts an self criticism, but to see we are not the only ones is lovely. The finished result is lovely and I’m especially in love with the blouse. Really enjoy watching you work, you never fail to inspire me.

[@guinevere1165]

I love the speed up sewing and cutting. It really feeds me

[@mariemason4252]

This is a great blouse! I wish it were something I could buy!!!

[@EamaneEarane]

I love these casual garment videos! The historical costumes are fun, but these are great, too.

[@MikalaMetalnurk]

I think it's awesome that you show your versatility as a creator. I loved this outfit, and if my sewing skills were anything like yours, I would make 78 of these blouses and just wear them all day every day.

[@cristinatalucci9884]

I love this! Looks great! Watching you sew has helped me with my technique. Even just cutting out fabric, I am not as afraid and slow anymore after watching you zip through cutting.

[@roadrunnercrazy]

That seam binding collection is awesome! I have been collecting a bunch myself but don't have any as old as some of yours. What a great gift from your mom!

[@skullgryd]

I love how this came together. The accessories are spot on too! If there's ever a time u need a break or your not finished with a garment, could u possibly do a look book from the decades with pieces you already made? It would refresh the memories of those who have been here for a while and let newbies know how truly talented u are! Just a suggestion. Love your work 🎀💓💓💓🎀

[@whereaboutonit]

The fabric with the ladies gives me life!

[@thevintageeffect4772]

I thought the ladies were the patterns of the dresses you would make, but then realized this was a fabric! I love this, and it suits you so well!

[@777Iwish]

I always enjoy your commentary on your sewing journey, don't underestimate yourself, you do a great job

[@jaelk]

I absolutely love that blouse! You make me want to incorporate more whimsical patterns into my wardrobe

[@elenityler8351]

WOW!!!! I think your garments turned out fantastic!!! I love the hat and shoes!!! I really enjoyed watching you make them. You did an AMAZING job!!! You have wonderful taste in prints and i am just in awe of how well you did especially with the button holes which sometimes can be tricky with singer sewing machines.Take care my friend.

[@rememberitsember]

I’m considering changing my focus in college to become a costume designer in theater. I’m taking a costume construction class and my attention was pulled to do this. Anyway, because of that, I googled some stuff and came across your videos. I just absolutely love watching your projects take shape and you have a pleasant voice as well. Keep up the great work!

[@mravenwing]

I love the high waisted look with that belt. Sometimes accidents are a good thing. Great blouse!!! I also have to tell you how much I enjoy your videos of the whole make. So few youtubers do that. I've been seeing since I was 8 and am about to turn 65. I've worked in construction of backpacks, fish ing vests etc and done alterations. Can you recommend other youtubers who are similar to you and your method of filming? Thanks again, love all your videos.

[@lyssevans3127]

I love this blouse! I love the colors and how they fit so well with each other. I also love the playfulness of it and the whimsical aspect of the ladies on the front.

[@haleyburns8438]

This outfit is sooo chic! I like that you are doing a mix of both costumes and more daily wearable items. Keep being you, that’s what’s interesting! ❤️

[@leanakache8361]

This blouse is literally one of my favorite makes of yours! Your style is so inspiring, it makes me want to inspire myself from it for my personal wardrobe!

[@0ona]

the blouse is so cute! I gotta keep that in my mind when finding or buying panel fabrics

[@sherryreed5806]

Love the video! It's great to know that I am not the only one with a sewing machine with a temperamental personality.

[@GoatChampJ1]

I adore that shirt. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! On a total side note, I also hate my automatic buttonhole option on my computerized sewing machine. In a bout of frustration a while back, I actually grabbed my vintage Singer buttonholer (or one of them - I purchased one on my own long before I discovered I had forgotten about the boxes that I inherited with my Singer 221 Featherweight and lo and behold, three more buttonholers. Thanks Grandma!) and discovered that the vintage buttonholer attachments work on any standard low-shank machine. It actually works BETTER on my modern machine because the shank lifts higher anyway and I can lower the feed dogs with a button rather than having to put a plate down to take up room. Just set the machine to a standard center straight stitch and let the buttonhole attachment do the work for you. They turn out so beautiful, and I highly HIGHLY recommend if you're down for some testing ;)

[@sheribazar698]

Thanks for the great tip! I also get frustrated by the buttonholer on my newer model machines, hadn't really thought to pull out my vintage buttonhole attachments that go with my featherweights.

[@Harko-]

Many complements for the total ensemble, the blouse is the head turner but it goes so well with the trousers and the hat and shoes are great additions. Hats off for this one Angela 🎩

[@NokneesLooney]

Adorable outfit. If I saw it in a store I would buy that blouse in a minute. Thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration.

[@galewhiteman2047]

I think those panels are super, super cute!! Great job in visualizing this. You are a joy to listen to. I wish you weren’t so hard on yourself. I don’t believe I’ve sewn clothing for 40 years.; but, after watching your videos I got inspired to make a pair of slacks...using a pair I wear, as the pattern. Wish me luck. You inspire. Keep up the good work.

[@lilawolfe1547]

I love the newer casual styles. So inspiring

[@nessnos1978]

That print is incredible! I would wear that blouse all the time!

[@moniemonie48]

That Queen Dolls fabric is amazing! I may have to pick me up some panels and make some pillows out of them, or maybe even frame them for some wall art! The outfit turned out quite lovely and looks very very flattering on you! Thank you for another inspiring video!

[@AngelaCostumery]

The print has a sketchy hand drawn quality, so it would probably frame really nicely! And thank you :)

[@Emma-xy3yg]

I love these more wearable outfits! It’s so interesting to see all the problem solving and I always love your fabric choices!

[@rachelhulson8839]

I don't sew, but I personally love watching your videos and listening to you and whenever I'm stressed I come straight to this channel! I'm sorry if that is weird

[@Tiii97]

This beautiful old clothes have a really special aesthetic❤❤

[@kellygeorge7464]

This outfit is beautiful. The back fabric on the back of the shirt makes a great contrast

[@frank7411]

Everything turned out great and really flattering but I specifically loooove the blouse. It looks so cool! Perfect for Fall but really cute and fun year-round too.

[@roseculp2924]

You look great in these clothes. We love to see these kinda things as well as the more elaborate ones. Thank you for sharing with us!!!.

[@NiamhNomen]

I love that blouse. The way you've cut the fabric is fabulous.

[@annawessman4029]

This looks SO good! The lines of the pattern and it is very well assembled! Love it! Veggie......hm....tomato. They conatin lycopen, which is stress-reducing. Would like to have less of that, hahahaha (at least the negative kind)! Hilarious video! Your sense of humor is just sublime!

[@kathypfeiffer8112]

As someone who is at the dreams-of-sewing-at-your-level stage, I *love love love* watching your videos and seeing how you work through ideas and challenges. This outfit is amazing!

[@dcinrb8538]

When I have to re-stitch buttonholes but the fabric weave has weakened, I baste a small square of interfacing within the two fabrics. Between the blouse front and the fabric interfacing. I prefer the lightness of the sewn in interfacing, as opposed to the stiffness of iron on or seam bias tape. Lovely videos. Thank you. 👚

[@savannah9712]

I honestly prefer the casual clothing videos! They’re a lot more accessible to me as I’m fairly new to “selfish sewing” and making pieces for myself rather than my kids or husband. But I love all your videos for learning new techniques and getting confidence to try new things. :) Btw, those pants are everything. I love them.

[@anniesmom2207]

Excellent! Your decisions about the back of the blouse and the trim were so on point. Also, the high waisted pants are perfect. Lovely outfit. 👏👏👏

[@ediedarleneedgmon5301]

This was an excellent video & the outfit is just gorgeous!!!!! You are an incredible seamstress. I would NEVER have thought of using a panel print for clothing; just ingenious!!!!

[@lilacko3361]

The blouse is absolutely charming! Great work! So happy to see that print up close, it was so cute and silly!

[@michelehayes9509]

Such a cute outfit! You are far more talented than you give yourself credit for. I am in my 50’s and I am learning so much from your videos. Very interesting and enjoyable!

[@ladyblakeney]

The 1930s are highly underrated as an influential decade for fashion! I love this spookyish look. It's inspired me to finally get my own vintage reproduction pants altered to actually fit me. 😁

[@eatenkate]

The blouse is absolutely magical

[@rosemaryreyes836]

WOWZA!!!! The fabric panels are fantabulous !!!!

[@teresas.3979]

I love this outfit. Makes me want to do something similar with panels, in a different style. This casual series is wonderful and as enjoyable as the more formal series.

[@loveloreal]

LOVE the blouse. It does not look like a costume at all. Great job!

[@goddesofwolves]

I understand not having the motivation to sew sometimes paired with the “my stuff is crap” feeling. I tore my fingers up really good with my last commotion. Never doing a clown outfit again. It was a evil project, like most clowns. I love your projects. I greatly enjoy watching them. I watch them a lot when Im puttering on my projects. I greatly enjoy your commentary.

[@fannylang6525]

Love, love, love this outfit! And it's all so flattering on you. High waisted pants, great on you! Love how all your "accidents" turned out. They're perfect!

[@galaxysprinkles1573]

I love watching your vlogs when I have hand sewing to do...

[@oldschooldesign528]

You have a good "eye" for design and what you did in making this blouse and the entire outfit is really super cool!

[@tracieeaton1082]

This outfit is beautiful. You have done a fantastic job once again.

[@dancooper-jones]

I really love that blouse fabric! It's amazing. I don't think the trousers are too high waisted really. The style certainly suits you.

[@bloodbaymare]

I adore the blouse! As always, love your sense of humor. Your elaborate costumes are really awesome and I love watching you sew them in your videos, but I love these videos just as much. I find them inspiring, and much more attainable for me to achieve. I would love to make a similar blouse!

[@mochitwa]

I did originally subscribe for the costumes, but this is something I could actually make .. and would actually make. Love it

[@published1789]

Love the colours -- had no idea of the details till seen close up. Great mix with "The Curious Creations of ..." Spot on!

[@theokapi4665]

I love the ladys on the front! I gives off such and timey hollow eves feel!

[@lauragagliani4691]

I love the contrast of the black trim and buttons against the fabric of the blouse! The outfit is so cute.

[@jntdvs]

Angela you are brilliant with your color combo and trims. Love the whole ensemble!

[@KirwanRaemus]

Oh my goodness I LOVE this ensemble, it's so flattering and sleek! The high waist really works with the cut of the blouse and the colours and print work so well together. It's wonderful!

[@sandraleishman878]

Looks like something you buy at a very expensive store. Love it!

[@hellothere274]

Well done, love the print, just because something isn't "perfect " doesn't mean it can't still be fabulous!!

[@grey_roses]

This is so cute...the shirt, especially. That great trim, I feel like it gave the whimsical 2D ladies a bit of a (ladylike) punch into the 3D world...also, tying them more snugly together with the black back! 👍

[@jennysimmons7118]

What a cute blouse and pants! Love the images on the blouse. This should be really fun to wear. Love how the collar looks on the blouse also. Enjoy wearing this!

[@galewhiteman2047]

Oh my goodness. I finally found this fabric and I can’t wait to make a blouse. I didn’t remember which of my KZbin sensations that did the video, it was so long ago. Luckily, I had taken a screenshot of you in the shirt!! Yay me!!

[@soropodo7918]

I love your answer to the vegetable question

[@evaabeledopineiroa]

It’s mesmerizing to watch you work!

[@TL_oS]

This outfit is adorable! Love the shoes and hat with it. Well done.

[@TheZombieMe]

I love the blouse! The fabric was such a good choice, and I actually really like the plain back

[@katinkasirena]

Wow, that cupboard is awesome! As are your skills. I am so impressed while watching your videos. Also, the amount of work you put into your projects. Thank you for sharing!

[@lesliejacobs3605]

This look is amazing !! Very different and yet wearable.

[@tspeecestudios]

Honey, you have GOT to be kinder to yourself! You make amazing work and are so cheery and entertaining, so don't be so mean to yourself!

[@roseatdancingearthworms9642]

I love this one, Angela! I think it turned out so fabulously.

[@CristinaS_PT]

That blouse is AMAZING.

[@andreacannon1263]

Beautiful outfit...I think the blouse print make it so extremely unique, I made a kimono with a print that look like a retro vogue magazine, very whimsical for sure...I always get tons of compliments when I wear it, now I wear it with more confidence :) You are so talented, God bless you sweetheart!

[@pollydolly9723]

The blouse is everything! I must start to consider a panel fabric 🤩

[@justathumb]

hahaha i love how dark the vegetable question got 😂 PS that blouse is GORGEOUS!! PLEASE can i have it 😜...i recently hand sewed pant hems with a travel sewing kit, and put a button on a cardigan with the ugliest messiest buttonhole u have ever seen, and i was so proud haha 🤷 i especially love how the outline of the card on the print makes a nice border line right beside the buttons, and that gorgeous little curl detail coming down the middle of the front - looks 100% deliberate! ➰👚

[@heatheredknits]

The blouse is so adorable! Great job Angela! Also, a collaboration between you and Christine McConnell would be amazing!

[@missfrankiefontaine]

I aboslutely adore this garment, its really inspired me for my own creations! All of your work is absolutely gorgeous.

[@jodieroundtree488]

Gosh, was just at the Sew expo last week and saw that fabric and couldn't think what to do! That awesome idea.
