Please never apologize for "bad" vlogs! These are amazing and you are constantly working! There is no other channel that covers so much of their process as yours. I'm always blown away by how much you're doing and how many projects you can juggle at once! And then you always end up adding extra projects just for fun! Your versatility and talent is truly unmatched. It really sounds like you need a break in order to clear your head. I know that's not always possible with commitments to sponsors and patrons, but even if that break means just not filming as much and just sitting quietly more often to sew thats totally fine! You absolutely deserve it!

[@nancyvolker3342]

If you have not done it already make sure you make a copy of alllll of your sketches some day you will be happy you have them encase you decide to do a book. Those drawings will come in handy for you

[@mogulsm]

The "My fair lady" race scene gown!! 😍

[@mogulsm]

@Anna Heebsh I swear I watched that movie everyday for a month in middle school😂😂

[@epona_7841]

Historically accurate Anastasia is going to be so pretty! I hope we get to see it! The arsenic green dress is such a cool idea! I remember reading about it a while back and wanted to see one.

[@estelledesigns]

I'm so excited for Anastasia!!!

[@hushyfoxx]

You were wearing a lot of Scooby-Doo in this vlog... I would love to see you do a Scooby-doo but make it historical costume! 😂

[@maryharron9019]

Kiana Beuler She said she was going to be making /following a 1970s pattern She could do it instead in colors that would match Daphne’s outfit!

[@jennycorey8968]

That black/red fabric is so beautiful. I hope we see it when it is a fabulous garment. This video was neither crappy nor boring.

[@kerrimackay521]

Extreme productivity here. I wish I could get quarter as much sewing done in the time you take.

[@StephBer1]

I don't think this video was boring. I think it was exhausting! You are doing so much and so many projects no wonder you are blah about things. You need some me time methinks, girl. Take care of yourself, please. I love all the things you are working on. I adore that black fabric with the red shot through. Very sumptuous. Your overlarge bonnet had me in hysterics but the end product was beautiful. Your final jacket and shirt/vest ensemble was beautiful but I have never liked the idea of leaving the animals face on the pelt, even if it is authentic. PS. Of your vintage purchases, I adore, adore, adore the first one, the grey 1950's dress with the white applique. You looked gorgeous in it.

[@vickinoeske1711]

The rust wool fabric is beautiful! I also like the quirky "travelling bananas"! What a hoot!

[@1990Phillip]

the waist item in the 1860's image is called a Swiss Waist. It is like a corseted belt

[@hollybrooke322]

This was not boring. I loved this vlog very much.

[@Meggs23]

Please don't apologize! Your output of projects is really astounding. I sometimes look at my sewing projects (many), take them off the shelf, think of what my plan for them, ... and then put them back on the shelf. You are inspiring in how much you accomplish! You are doing what I had dreamed of as a kid... to make historical costumes. I hope you get into a studio or theater costume dept soon so you can learn the biz side of the entertainment industry as well.

[@red33811]

Love your videos! Because of you, I've been inspired to try and sew my own clothes based on vintage patterns from the 50s and 60s. As a beginner, I especially appreciate your thorough explanations. Thank for all the effort and care you put into each creation and sharing them with us ❤ Also the Hollywood dress exhibit! I particularly love the dress Audrey Hepburn wore in My Fair Lady at 18:09 and Vivien Leigh's curtain dress from Gone with the Wind at 18:20 ... sooo cool

[@KSRowsell]

I would love to see a period accurate Mad Hatter outfit! Love your videos

[@whiteraven8322]

Happy belated birthday! And wow, you got so much done during May!

[@judithaudin889]

I love your vlogs and this one in particular. It makes me feel like a time traveller every time you mention "my time" versus "your time".

[@raraavis7782]

Your videos are never boring! And you also spoiled us with those vlogs from your trips last month, so all is well 😄 Happy sewing, everyone 👏

[@vickinoeske1711]

I inherited an old mink jacket and fox pieces (heads & all) from my husband's great aunt and I love them❤

[@enslavedvessel]

At 18:32 I recognized that blue dress from the 1958 movie Gigi from the card game scene right away when I saw it I've seen that movie so many times. To bad you didn't also have footage of the elegant white dress next to it she wears in the scene at Maxim's. If you haven't seen it yet I recommend that you do with all the different style's it's a visual feast of texture and forms. Definitely a favorite to watch over and over. Can't wait to see future projects from you and hopefully my old injuries will calm down so I can work on mine too. Good luck on your progress going forward.

[@CassieSorrells77]

This wasn’t crappy!! You’re so creative and have so many ideas. I’m amazed at how quickly you draft patterns-something that would take me forever or fitting on the mannequin. So many skills that others don’t have that make you so interesting to watch. I’m not into historical clothing but love learning about it from you because of all of the small details you put into them.

[@tallgrasslanestitches6635]

Assuming that "capote" is from French, it would be "cap oat" or "cap-ought". The e at the end means you pronounce the t. "Cap-oh" would be spelled "capot"

[@gilliangottlieb2946]

So Interesting, and the regency gown is just lovely! After seeing all your historical garments, I would love to see a video with your corset/foundation garment collection. You seem to have so many for all the different periods, and I would be very interested to see you talk about them all in one place.

[@guineapiggirl400]

I love love love vintage fur! I cannot wait to see that mink being put to use

[@EmissaryofWind]

I'm excited about the historical Anastasia project, she is actually my next project and I'm not making it historically accurate but I am taking a lot of inspiration from the Russian court dresses her family wore when she was little. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!

[@EmissaryofWind]

And, at least in french, "capote" is pronounced cah-pot (like teapot). Fun fact, it's also slang for "condom".

[@Gandellion]

The Poldark clothes are so pretty, I love Caroline's outfits cause they're so fun and cute and the Demelza's are more simple and noble looking

[@estelledesigns]

love demelza's dresses!

[@robinr.770]

I always enjoy these excursions you venture out on Angela. Your sketches are so beautiful. My, oh my! You are incredibly busy! Thank you.

[@sharontaylor4392]

The too big green hat was hilarious! Not only did I have to go back and re-watch that part, but I had to go find my husband and make him watch it! I am fascinated by watching you draft patterns and have learned so much even in high speed. Thank you for this incredible vlog. I especially enjoyed the vintage clothes convention and that incredible Hollywood Exhibit (at a local mall??)

[@laviniadixon8197]

I'm always amazed at how many projects you are working on at any one time and how you remember what you're doing on each! I feel exhausted just watching!! I'd love to see more of the finished items!

[@belagracie]

I used to make almost all my own clothes, and all my first husband’s ties. My sewing machines (yes, I have three) and supplies were in storage for the past 10 years! But your videos have inspired me to drag everything out and start sewing again. After having my Singer serviced, I am halfway through my first project, a 1952 dress by Butterick.

[@sekaihatsu]

Yay, Angela! You did a vlog! despite your packed schedule, you got through it. Thank you for taking the time and gathering your energy to do so. I am inspired by your perseverance! I enjoy the behind the scenes of what you do though I still don't know you stay on top of everything. You're creative and amazing!

[@rosemcguinn5301]

I think you need some real down time and a chance to regroup! Some quiet time off, with perhaps a "staycation" might be of use. Sorry if this seems intrusive. Can't help caring.

[@alibabafurball]

Hi Rose. Yes comparing what she does and the other channel i see you on Townends and compare the staff they have there, what they do, and how stressful it is for them and all that Angela does. Not the same stuff and venus, but still very time consuming. It is very interesting, entertaining, and i learn from watching though.

[@rosemcguinn5301]

@@alibabafurball Angela works hard - seemingly tirelessly. She is always pretty busy. As are the folks at Townsends, too! it takes a lot of work off screen to make a channel's content as interesting as what we see from both channels. I can't imagine ever undertaking such a process myself. My health wouldn't handle it at all - not even part part time.

[@olwendavis327]

This video is not boring, I'm glad that you were talking through your process for much of the time because as nice as it is to watch you make all of those lovely dresses and costumes it's also nice to hear you explain everything you are doing (happy belated birthday btw) in short I very much enjoyed this video and hearing your lovely voice throughout 😊

[@pay1370]

9:35 i think they're called swiss waist/belt or something similar, though i might be wrong

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

I LOVE the Regency hat! It makes me think Australia Day!

[@debe8890]

Loved your Vlog. It is OK to take time out for yourself and recharge. You have so much creativity and energy. So much energy that I can't listen quite as fast as you can share but, I hung in there and enjoyed the whole thing. You looked awesome in the dresses (loved the gray one) that you bought on your trip, they were an excellent fit.

[@grandy2875]

Hey Angela, I think the bright green fabric might be a Chantung (hope I spelt it correctly), I've also seen it used for soft decor items such as cushions or curtains. My grandmother had a dressing screen with Chantung gathered inside the frame, it was a very pretty soft dusty pink...I loved that thing, but it 'disappeared' after she passed...I might have to drag out my DIY skills and make one for myself... You are very clever with all the drafting and draping, and everything turns out so lovely, I wish I had the patience to do that :))

[@amyseed183]

11:41 Wow that shade of green really suits you!!!! green was super popular in Victorian times so that could be a project idea?

[@uncookedart]

GIRL!!!!! You ARE AMAZING...so inspiring!! You have so many projects going on...its so cool how you know every single one, have them organized, and ready to go when you are!! ❤

[@yungzubass9648]

You are very talented young lady. Sorry no one has hired you with your beautiful 1800-1900 costume gown. Lease you have McCall’s pattern out . I love mink. Wish California is cold weather to wear coats. Lol good luck. Keep on your awesome work and project. Can’t wait to see the wedding gown soon.

[@emmawhitworth1679]

You're so great, Angela! Thank you for going to so much effort to fit this Vlog into your crazy busy life. I hope you're okay - sounds like you're getting really fatigued. Hope you're looking after yourself ❤️

[@NesjeNahr]

It was very entertaining seeing you with all these projects. You should be very proud of yourself for getting so much done.

[@reneeslarve4655]

Nothing boring here, thanks, you are well accomplished and organized therefore get it done! I am impressed. I am anxious to see where your career takes you. Also, very inspiring. I know it will all be great. All garments are wonderful. Thank you Angela

[@rainbowsandjosie]

i’ve been saving this video all day for when i knew i have about an hours worth of quilt pieces to iron ❤️ love seeing your monthly vlogs

[@naseera906]

this is kinda random but i am thoroughly enjoying all the different scooby doo shirts you have on in this video lol

[@zainylainy1]

How does one so young know so much about design and sewing? You are amazing!

[@bhavens9149]

that wedding dress material would look fabulous in a gibson style as well, just a thought! :) that coat is timeless, dont under estimate your future use for it! Especially if you make the collar detachable, you can put different collars on it. think wide velvet collar or no collar, etc. I enjoy watching your work processes.

[@estelledesigns]

ooh that's a great idea! gibson style is so beautiful!

[@MomthatSews]

I cannot wait to see the video for the wedding dress! Love the fabrics you got.

[@qualcosadinerd7471]

This is INSANE!!!!! Oh my gosh I can't express how much you inspire me, now I have this huge desire to work on my sawing skills and historical costume making skill... maybe you could do a video dedicated to advices for beginners? That would be awesome! I'd love to see that ❤

[@smol_lucifer]

Been waiting for this after watching all your old Vlog videos over the past days xD I love your videos! Always motivate me to continue my project

[@estelledesigns]

ikr! we all have the same 24 hours in a day so it's nice to see what other sewists are getting up to and give motivation for my sewing!

[@AdirondackRuby]

Loved the details at the neckline of that black sweater. So cute. And wow wow wow...you may have been rushed and the prices may not have been budget friendly, but boy did you get some beauties! I want every single one of those dresses! Can't wait for all the videos and patterns to come, this was such a tease!

[@Nicolesid1]

The silver bolt you got, I have a gown I just made with the sister fabric, it's that silver reflect but a black undertone. I love it... I know your projects will be amazing

[@OhNoitsRhii]

Ooooh I would love to see a crimson peak inspired look! Also someone else mentioned something based off your figurines and that would be cute as well. And thanks for these videos, i find them relaxing to watch before bed. 💕

[@OhNoitsRhii]

Also, I'm IN LOVE with the coat ensemble , like wow 😍

[@CuriosityRocks]

I’ve seen that there’s a Game of Thrones book coming out that is about the costume designs

[@alibabafurball]

I loved this video!!! You were lucky with some of those vintage dresses you bought, they looked like they were made for you, like the first three shown. Some of the best stuff is specialist sales venues like that. I am glad you were gifted those magazines and have the harper's bazar re-issue book. There is a UK one Mrs. Beeton's and that had a fashion magazine part with plates from UK and Paris sometimes. I like comparing the dates on the issues and finding clothing that seems out of place. I have seen a hat in a 1890's harper's bazar that would look more at home on a 1920's "flapper" outfit for instance. I would be speechless at the Hollywood dress display too lol. That outfit at the end was very good. The long coat is awesome.

[@whatzupLizzy]

You are so productive, could you summarize what you made in the next blog. Love so many of this months projects.

[@nicoledeloncrais5940]

Wow 😮 this was manic (in a good way)in your accomplishments! Please don’t apologise, you are such a beautiful gorgeous clever young woman and happy 😃 birthday 🎁!! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Bexinmo]

This wasn't crappy, it was great. I like hanging out with you.

[@irenedeboer5486]

Omg I'm so excited to see what you'll make with the things from the NY City haul 😍 That wedding dress fabric ❤❤❤

[@OddlyElly]

Yes! Just sitting here knitting a 1940s sweater shirt and this popped up. So heckin' happy 😄😄 Edit: pretty sure capote is pronounced CAP-ought (like nought) but not 100% on that

[@kathrynjones848]

Yes the 1880’s blouse and vest is awesome!

[@juliettedemaso7588]

Just watching Your work volume makes me fall down on the floor in a catatonic stupor. Girl you’re a force of nature. 💪🥰 🧵

[@EmynUial]

This regency dress came just in time for me! I'm working on one myself right now and already did all the undergarments but wasn't sure how to start the actual dress and your progress really helped to see, how the parts should look like. Thanks a lot! Now I'm off to the dressform [imagine a Supergirl fly-away-pose]

[@WolkeYume]

I still enjoy watching these, even if you think they are boring😆

[@jessicacroteau5600]

The hand buttons at 38:10 are VERY victorian I love them

[@MidnightMelodie]

I’ve worked on six paintings in four weeks and I thought I was being very productive but you put me to shame! 😅 Goodness girl, don’t ever let anyone tell you that you don’t work hard!

[@sublimnalphish7232]

i love LOVE the long jacket/coat with the burgundy and tan under clothes. that may be one of my favorite things i have seen you do. oh i did/do love the blue french riding outfit...all of it. from a few years ago. saying that , i in no way disrespect or dislike the other items made.... also i love the holiday and seasonal costumes from earlier years of Angela Clayton . have a great day and thanks lots for the inspiration you have given this old hagged woman.

[@Henshingod]

Hey Angela, do you have any history with regards to mourning costuming, either Victorian or Civil War based? Would love to see a video on that in the future!

[@eatenkate]

It was an awesome vlog, don't beat yourself up about not feeling like it sometimes, that's just the natural flow of things and sometimes you just want to get sh*t done.

[@red0004]

@angelaclayton will you be posting any of the making of the Anastasia costume?

[@ijfen]

I love the vlogs! I find them very motivational for my own projects, even though I only see in my spare time. My unsolicited advice is putting a date stamp on the footage so we could get an idea of how fast things are progressing.

[@nancyvolker3342]

have you ever thought of using a fabric pen (heat affected) to draw directly on your mannequin. the necklines and sleeve openings the waist lines then use your paper to make the pattern? just use an iron to erase when finished or redraw a line or two

[@vickinoeske1711]

I so enjoy when you make hats💖

[@fawntheresa5338]

I watched this over 3 days, when I had time to my self. I love your structured videos and these seemingly random videos too!! Thank you for taking the time to put this together ♥️♥️

[@ChildOfApollo]

im in love with that seaweed regency dress

[@maryharron9019]

New Hampshire! My home state ! I can’t wait to see where you go in New Hampshire❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@madokakaname830]

i really liked the pink (polka dot???) and the green, red, violet, and yellow flower dress the most.

[@royalnavarre1673]

Angela, I love your videos! You have beautiful projects. I want to see one project at a time and see each step of the project filmed in its entirety so we can enjoy seeing how it is done. Speaking slower would be so helpful. Relax and take your time sharing with us. We love you and your amazing talent! Thank you for all you do 😃

[@NicoleCChoque]

Not a boring vlog! Eclectic perhaps, but fun none-the-less! 😊👍

[@louiselill1528]

I always enjoy watching what you make etc .

[@sophiaB270]

I actually really enjoyed this vlog!😂 maybe it wasn't super in-depth or anything, but it gave a nice overview of what you did over that past month!💓

[@alexreda8265]

I'd loooove to see photos of all the finished projects mentioned in this video. Or maybe they're Patreon exclusive? Either way, amazing work, would love, love, love to see the finished version of everything we see mentioned in these vlogs.

[@nickiecarlson1837]

Angela, you get more done in a month than I do all year! I am always amazed at your speed, ambition, and productivity! Oh yeah, and I cannot wait to see the pirate video!

[@shaidabegum.]

Hi, love all your vlogs. Unsulfured blackstrap molasses is good for overall health. You have been very busy, you need to rest.❤

[@suzychapman1703]

Hi, i like your style, that's why I will tell you check Acacias 38 you can inspire on the cloths they used ,check Celia mother dresses also

[@kirstenpaff8946]

I hope you have a speedy recovery.

[@mopsahackett7586]

There is a godeys lady’s book mentioned in little town on the prairie ! X

[@teresamorgan4529]

Thanks so much for the video! I always enjoy whatever video you post no matter how much or little you talk. You do have a lovely voice. I'm sorry you're sick and coughing is necessary, sometimes. Feel better.

[@Nevturiel]

Your look here at the beginning is so pretty. Like a Bardot/Hepburn (Audrey, not so much Katharine) mashup.

[@carolinedambrosio1820]

It’s not a bad blog! I really enjoyed it

[@ApocalypseTY]

I loved this vlog!! I love when you show the process of making smaller accessories like the capote :)

[@juliecain6397]

I just thought you would like to know why I watch your blog...to see you making things...and on this video specifically, you talked your way past all that. And what you showed was all about you and your mom and your shopping finds...not that I mind shopping finds, but one project at a time. I do realize (because I sew too) that one rarely works on only one job at a time...but the great thing about video is you can organize it into separate jobs...so maybe you can have something to aim for in terms of what you post. Your shopping finds are so cool...where are you shopping? I'm stuck in the armpit of the south...and all the fabric stores are gone. There is almost no choice left.

[@belindacoba5158]

Last year you did a series of videos based on jackets, I'm hoping you hace more footage of that Long jacket, is soo beautiful!!. The striped dress is looking wonderful too!! Everything hoy do excelente. I liked you used your own pattern that way you test how well explained your patterns are...

[@sarahlongshore2605]

That coat is magnificent! !!!

[@Eowynna]

Hello, bonjour Angela, Thank you for this great video. Plus je regarde tes vidéos, plus j’ai envie de me mettre à la couture ☺️ Thank you.

[@repairtech9320]

Loved your dress haul. You're like your own doll to play dress up with.

[@brucecoleman5379]

THOSE PANTS ARE AMAZING!!!!

[@katsleggsful]

I would love to see you make a Tippi Hedron-inspired dress & Coat ensemble from Hitchcock film The Birds. Any chance that might happen??

[@dwfaught]

Can just imagine the next video: I posted my PO Box and now we will have an hour of unboxing all the stuff everyone sent me.

[@india239]

I love Sacque (?spelling) back dresses. I totally wish I could wear them now and not get weird looks

[@lisa8a8e]

this was a great vlog, I love that you're human and have good days and bad days. don't apologize for being normal :D
