Sewing 3 Summer Skirts for my Historybounding Wardrobe (& a peek at my antique books)

[@lucasmcinnis5045]

I would be super interested in the longer book and magazine content, preferably on this channel, possibly in their own playlist!

[@rd6203]

Yes, I agree on this channel, in their own playlist, as regularly scheduled content.... i.e. the third week of the month, or every other Thursday: whatever works 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@andreahughes1500]

I vote for books and magazines , once in a while. I think a playlist would be great. But I don’t think you need a whole separate channel. It would be cool if you went through a book and then made something from it too.

[@OddlyElly]

I would legitimately die if you went through your Delineators and Godey's 😍😭 1880s and 1890s magazines and ladies' journals are one of my greatest loves. Would happily sit through many an hour long instalment! And keep them on this channel ❤

[@bethlekas4994]

I would love to see a series on antique books and magazines! I think a series on this channel would be sufficient, rather than a dedicated second channel. I'm also a fan of TheClosetHistorian and her cataloging catalogs series :)

[@bonniecolleenpappin8807]

Yes, please! Books and magazines on screen would be great. Please don't put too much work on yourself, just enjoy the process. Thank you so much for sharing the making of your summer wardrobe; all the pieces look great.

[@MaireColclough]

The skirts (and entire collection) turned out so well! I really love the way you used the elastic at the back. It's not only functional, but looks like the gathering at the back of a walking skirt. I'd enjoy taking a closer look at your magazines...I don't think you need a separate channel for them. 😃

[@Feelicitasy]

Can we please talk about that you have a book spine supporter??!? As a librarian, I am SO HAPPY to see you treat the books not only with great care but also make sure to make them last as long as possible with additional help!

[@MonaSkovJensen]

First thing first! Nutella totally melted my heart when she just wanted cuddles. No matter what you do with the books and magazines I'll be there! What an appetizer!!!!! I love how you summer wardrobe is coming together!

[@coreygilles847]

I think long dives into historical books and magazines would be awesome on this channel :)

[@christenagervais7303]

I think reading antique books and magazines is a great idea!

[@sophiesong8937]

I've gotta admit, the sheer ambition with which you started out this wardrobe got me motivated. At home with my kids due to the pandemic, I couldn't get much done in two weeks, but I have, since that video made a 1951 summer overall for my son, a 1937 sailor hat for him, started a 1950 2 piece summer playsuit for my daughter, which should be finished tomorrow, and have fabric and patterns ready for the next 5 pieces I plan to make this summer.. AND organised a system to actually get it done. I have a loose time frame, and I think none of us benefit from having to shortcut our way to the goal, but that sparky ambition you have is infectious, and even though neither of us got it all done in a fortnight, you've done an amazing job, and I have been more productive than any summer before in my life. All I can say is thankyou.

[@Dianestitchcraftrelax]

I like the idea of an occasional book browse between projects or when you feel like it.

[@mcwjes]

Yes to old books! Yes to doggy snuggles! Yes to sewing! Sign me up!

[@coffemuse]

I think it's so cool that you have both Godey's Lady's Book and Quantum Chemistry on the same bookshelf. My nerd heart sings. The skirts look wonderful! Longform readthroughs on this channel would be awesome, I think we would all watch it just as regularly as your other content. How amazing is that hem marker!

[@nataliexbrutality]

100% would love for a look through in vintage books and magazines with you! That would be magical. I love Bianca’s look throughs and it would be so rad to see other versions of this. Do it 🙌🏻🙌🏻💗

[@historical.isolde7918]

Watching Nutella in each video makes me so happy. I had a Border Collie growing up, and they are such wonderful dogs with boundless energy.

[@kindafoggy]

Oh yes. Let's look through your library please. I'll never see anything like those otherwise. Thank you for sharing them.

[@nailzbyangela]

I would love a series like that here on this channel…no need for another channel!! So awesome that you have such neat old books and magazines!!🥰🥰🥰

[@angellinafosse1936]

Okay the how to dress for certain events sounds really cool to me, the book!

[@dee-annegordon5959]

Love the idea of having random videos every now and again looking at your collection of antique magazines. Plus it would be a great way for you to still put out content when you need more time for a project you're making.

[@shortsweettoo]

Sign me up! Would love to see your historical content. No need to keep it separate at all. I'm totally in love with all things Victorian and Edwardian.

[@whitalleys5893]

Yesss... I love it when dress and fashion history channels go through their magazine and book collections. Please do it! In any way that works!

[@rgs8970]

I am entranced by the details of the books and magazines 🤩 would love to see it as a series on this channel. Also Nutella is soooooo cute!!!! What a good doggie!!!

[@LedgerAndLace]

Beautiful skirts, but you had me with your dog! LOVE the idea of going through your antique magazines. Perhaps make it a series? I think our ancestors would marvel at a chalk hemline thingie. Ha!

[@sutarikun]

The whole Essentials set came out so well! And I'd love to get to explore your book and magazine collection every so often. If it ends up messing with your statistics, you can always move that type of series to a second channel but I feel like it should be fine to keep it on the main to start with at least.

[@rd6203]

I know zero about this stuff: why would it mess up statistics?

[@sutarikun]

@@rd6203 From what I've heard via several creators, KZbin calculates some of its payouts on consistency of views in addition to overall views. If one type of video does not perform as well as most others, it may make KZbin put a creator on a lower level, or not promote them as much (thus why a bunch of creators have two channels, with one being something more like a blog and the other being their main channel). It also sometimes makes more sense to have very different content on two different channels, like reviewer PushingUpRoses having a separate channel for her art creation.

[@rd6203]

@@sutarikun 🤔

[@surban4369]

I used a hemline chalking device way back in the '60s. It worked pretty well! I've also just measured down from the waistband and marked the hemline around. The fullness of the skirt would hide slight discrepancies. Thank you for another engaging video!

[@kjtherrick4031]

Your outfits look terrific. I would enjoy seeing your books and magazines, so whenever you wish to share, please do. I don't see the necessity of starting another channel. Including such vlogs on this existing one sounds awesome to me. After all, sometimes, we want to knit, sometimes sew, sometimes read, and sometimes we like to see other people doing all these things!

[@bhavens9149]

a read / ooh aahhh along! how fun!

[@rebeccaharrison-hutcheson2169]

I would love to listen and casually watch as you go through your antique books and magazines. It's perfect will I'm working on my own projects. Your voice and enthusiasm are very easy to listen to. Great idea.

[@believeinfaeries8713]

I would love to see the books and magazines. I love Bianca’s videos with the catalogs. I don’t think you’d need to do a different channel. The skirts came out beautifully!

[@Yoot9515]

I would love to have longer book and magazine content on this channel! No need to make a new channel, I feel that isn't necessary. Like others have suggested a specific playlist for it is great!

[@emilythomas6776]

I LOVE longer form content! I'd love to see your collection. It would be great to have on while I'm working on my own projects. Please do the series! (Preferably on this channel, but I'd follow it if you made another channel.)

[@gwendolynphillips4187]

Nutella's happy excited chortling and snorting reminds me so much of my dog :) shes a beagle lab mix and 12 but still acts like shes 1 and constantly is making some sort of noise (never really barks unless shes angy or someone is at the door lol)

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Your summer wardrobe looks lovely!! Also I vote for you doing a video on this channel going through any of your books or magazines you want to share!!! We seem to have similar tastes in what we find fascinating so whatever you decide I’m sure i will enjoy!!!

[@bethtuten9378]

Absolutely love the idea of going through magazines and books in long form! I would prefer it be on this channel. I'm especially looking forward to the ones that will feature the 1863 book; late 1850s - mid 1860s is my favorite historical dress era 😍

[@brigidscaldron]

I love the closet historian and I love it when she does that video! I would totally enjoy the same thing with you!

[@brigidscaldron]

JFC you’re adorable.

[@mariebray9831]

I agree with the previous comments would love to look through your antique book collection, on this channel is good. Love the Nutella cuddles. Love your new summer wardrobe.

[@lauraguglielmo]

I love magazine flipthroughs so I'd really LOVE if you did some! Personally I'd rather have as a series on this channel since it's so closely related to your content, but that's just my preference.

[@TheMetatronGirl]

I was just thinking, “I wish we were friends! A) Because I just want to love on Nutella. She’s so CUTE! (I’m a dog person) and B) so I could sit and go through your books with you,” when you asked if we wanted videos of you going through your books!! The answer is a resounding, “Yes, please.” I learned to knit at 5, crochet at 6, sew at 10, and taught myself to tat in my early 20’s…my deep love is for vintage patterns and instructions. Thank you for sharing your collection!! Your summer wardrobe is darling, versatile, and looks oh so comfy. I’m quite inspired to work on my own! Oh! A series on this channel, please?

[@theflapperbassist1361]

i absolutely cant wait to flip through your antique books and magazines together!!!!

[@rd6203]

😆 I have no idea what you changed on the orange skirt, but oh the gloryful puppyness!!!! 💗

[@shelleymonson8750]

I’d love to see your magazine & book collection, especially if you have ones that I don’t!

[@futureshrink1990]

I woud love to see your books! I don't think a separate channel is necessary, it would be a great addition to your current content

[@pay1370]

Omg yes show me the books!

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

Hmm, bonus content, licked eyeballs! 😆

[@vintagelife5195]

The missus was watching this next to me on her laptop and I had to log in to give my input to the question. We watch those catalog vids on the CH channel too. Its a great resource for references. I know if you do make those vids we will both watch. As far as a different channel, I think youll probably grow with time and skill. Your interests can broaden. The kind of hobbies you have lend themselves to multiple skills. As a viewer, I think its all relevant to what you do here and would like to see the body of your work in one place.

[@heidishepler7528]

Just wanting to add to the chorus of encouragement for seeing book and magazine content! I love The Closet Historian’s Cataloging Catalogs, and I think your books and magazines are different from hers but equally fascinating. 💖

[@ciawang8347]

Absolutely beautiful skirts! and colors so classic! Also vote for magazine and books! wonderful idea

[@erinbooth9561]

Yes please on the books anď mags!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I might be interested in books & magazines for awhile. I usually watch KZbin to keep me company while I sew.

[@strawberryemery]

Thank you for the hem chalk demo, I had been wondering for ages how to use that

[@hope1575]

I'd love to see historical magazine videos :) I think it would still fit the channel

[@lmchatwin77]

Do it on this channel.

[@marybull3715]

I'd prefer staying with this channel, would be reallyinteresting.

[@agimagi2158]

Yeyy book content! I love how the skirts tuened out!

[@infamoussphere7228]

oh I would love an in-depth read of some excerpts of books and magazines, you can put them on a playlist on your own channel. I don't think they're so unrelated to your main content that you have to put them on a different channel.

[@dandylionsloth446]

I'm really late but I would be interested in those long form videos. I'm learning to knit and I've learned I can't do that in complete silence so something like those videos would be great to listen too!

[@MrsMelrom]

I love my old magazines and how to household books and I would love to see yours

[@catherinemelnyk]

I can't wait to see your workspace once you've got it all set up! Looking good...

[@x1435]

Woo-hoo! Nice job finishing all those pieces, they look great. I'm all for the catalog content, I love what TCH does. I don't think you have to make a separate channel for it though.

[@nataliestanchevski4628]

Can you go through Quantum Chemistry? That really sounds fascinating. I love all the skirts, especially the white one. Please tell Nutella that I love her, lol. My cats are never that excited about my sewing projects.

[@Rita-M-G]

My Mom had that spinning wheel plaque. I think she bought it around 1970.

[@angelmage99]

I think it would fun to hear how you should react in certain events and situations.

[@corylcreates]

These are so cute!!

[@lauraraines767]

Your wardrobe is looking nice. I have purchased copies of a couple of the books you talked about. One is The art of knitting, and the other is Weldon's Practical Needlework volume one. It sure would have been nice to get the original books though.

[@jennglow4647]

Very pretty 😀

[@YarrowNjune]

I don't think you need a separate channel, if you want to do long lives with magazines for your audience, we are already here:) I wanted to ask you how do you store your magazines, the ones not bound as books? Paper envelopes, folders, plastic boxes? I bought some 1940s and 50s magazines last year and they just sit as they came, but I want to organize them properly

[@matthodek]

The outfits look great. The fabric and color choices really work well together. I hope to get a few pieces for this fall figured out soon. I was not organized enough for summer. At one point I got distracted by the quantum chemistry book next to the coding books, which are adjacent to the cookbook. The combination just made me smile. Looking over at my bookshelf, I think I see a Carl Sagan book next to a vegetarian sushi book, so it's about the same... 😀

[@verdandiknits]

I'd say try out a book or magazine episode and wait for the response ;) I'm very interested to watch one, but I'm not sure in which way I'd like it presented best. Also, I'd like to know where to get the zines and books ;D

[@kaizma88]

Very nice! I must try linen soon.

[@jeanettebjaras2470]

I'm a lazy hemmer. I always measure from the waistband/waistseam down with a measurement that I have taken from a skirt or dress I've made before. I must say it's not ideal when I make my slips though, since my slip pattern doesn't have that unbroken horizontal line around the waist as all my dresses and skirt has, but with everything else it works just fine.

[@FlybyStardancer]

Those skirts came out cute!! I’ve thought about getting one of those chalk hem markers, but so far haven’t yet…

[@mfg2324]

Where did you find those amazing antique books? I love them! 😍 I'd love to see some videos about them on this channel!

[@jessicabauer6609]

Next time for white skirts or dresses you could tape a washable feltmarker on the hemthingy (sry forgot the name of it) and just swirl infront of it :)

[@Aloaceae]

Nutella is so cute❤❤❤❤

[@LixiaWinter]

I don't mind longer videos on this channel tbh

[@gellrb56]

I enjoy your videos. Did you know unpick means not pick. That’s the opposite of what you mean. What a beautiful dog.

[@piaggio]

Not a subscriber (yet but you keep coming into my feed, and I enjoy it), but I would keep it on the main channel. It will help grab more eyes to your content in general, then if it becomes super popular, you can break it off without losing anything in views or all the YT statistical things. Hope it goes well!

[@nathanong]

I would die for Nutella 🥺

[@erikaannabosnyak9307]

Where do you get the magazines? My daughter I really into them but we couldn't get our hand on any yet.

[@Aarlenen]

Same channel, books & magazines periodically [LOL]

[@EtainMcCloud]

I think it should stay on this channel. The variety would be good.

[@somecunninglinguist]

Ah books, the original Google

[@laurenloertscher1319]

Give us all the knowledge pwease

1hr .. I personally prefer shorter videos youtube likes vids shorter than 10min
