There's definitely a level of self doubt in there like there is with most artists I know, but knowing who this person is, it wouldn't surprise me if she basically has unrestricted access to professional trainers, who can basically just coach her through what she's doing while she's doing it, so at least to the average person it looks like a really professional job

[@quokkakola1722]

Usually when KZbinrs say “I’m not good at sewing”, it’s followed by a series of ill advised shortcuts and a hot glue gun, Martina is out here drafting patterns and getting all fancy with detailed accents.

[@SugiyamaHiromin]

Okay but, everytime they use hot glue and leave the edges just RAW (especially on woven fabrics), I smile and think "That's gonna be useless after the first wash."

[@AnkaVanka75]

And also going to town straight on the actual fabric. No mock-ups.

[@bleehh]

@@SugiyamaHiromin using HOT GLUE on clothing is a crime anyway. Those pieces were trash right from the start.

[@edcearo2105]

The fact that I've been trying to make a big ass dress + corset + bodysuit combo for like 2 months but couldn't manage to even finish the patterns, and put this video as background while actually making the patterns, and it made me not only push myself to finish this part tonight but also made me want to make something fun again just, brings me life. I definitely needed some inspiration and this was the push I needed, thanks for the video and I'm so glad I came across your videos

[@amydand]

MARTINA IS AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN - the only KZbinr that starts with “THIS VIDEO IS AN AD” we love her

As someone who has been sewing and pattern making for just about 20 years… you Martina can no longer say you’re not a good sewer and have no idea what you’re doing. It takes talent and knowledge to be able to create basic patterns and you have made this… you amaze me at every turn. Your skill and talent are phenomenal.

[@SugiyamaHiromin]

Also, it's a coat. I've been putting off making one forever (I just can't find one with a twirly bottom and I desperately need one, okay?) while I'm making fully boned corsets with hand-sewn eyelets and flossing, which are considered advanced level by most.

i cant stress this enough, i love prop weapon. the processes that are used to make all types of them are justelegant, and they mimic the real things almost perfectly. then they can be used for many different things, whether its hard rubber, or dense foam, for actual safe fighting or resin, 3d printed, etc as hero props. they are just *chefs kiss* beautiful. they always compliment the costume designers and creators because like. the costumes are always beautifully made too. this costume was just satisfying to see come to life.

You're always thinking outside the box. Your layout planning pays off again.

[@liesbeth9810]

When using your clothes for making a pattern, it’s easiest to turn the shirt/dress/sweater inside out and fold it in half. That way you already have your seam allowance. Fold your fabric in half as well (easier for cutting) 🙂

[@lewisbrodnax7898]

If you want to make leather softer and more pliable, use neatsfoot oil. If you're making armour with it, melt hard beeswax & carnuba(about 50/50) until too hot for your health and submerge the leather in it for 15-25min. Wrap your bod in towels and have an accomplice stap the leather in place. When it cools it will be as hard as ABS Plastic. The Romans didnt have carnuba but used linseed oil, which when heated to t boiling point makes linoleum.
