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

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.

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."

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

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) 🙂

[@SecchiGaming]

You deserve way more credit than you are getting... woahh that looks so amazing, well donee!!

[@Nerdforge]

Thank you so much!!

[@cheekypanda0004]

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.

[@zanet391]

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.

[@aloyminimum]

“A fancy clothing hanger” I mean, she’s not wrong

[@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.

[@autumnengelke97]

omg please keep making more of these! I even enjoy your spell book series.

Finally figured out who you remind me of. I spent 5 years involved in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Most of the people there had the same mad skills. We dabbled in everything and picked up various skills. Armouring, weapons crafting, caligraphy, medieval cooking, Vinting, Heraldry, Medieval sciences or alchemy, archery, you name it. Best part was getting together with 5-6000 like minded people in a two week camp called the Pennsic wars. Mind you we actually used the armor and fought with rattan swords.
