Sewing Pockets in Victorian Gonzo's Coat

[@DBurley]

Please don't apologize re: sponsors at all! I'm thankful to all your sponsors for making your channel possible. 🥰

[@dabbyabb]

Nicole, you are delightful. I'm glad you exist. Thanks for bringing your personality, skills and knowledge to KZbin where we can all benefit.

[@jojostudies7161]

Watching this made me feel so much better about the speed at which I hand stitch. It's so hard to gauge sewing speed when watching edited videos and how many hours go into a project when it all gets condensed down into 30 min videos, so I really appreciate this

[@everlingaccessories7584]

I highly recommend add "the Hogfather" to your Christmas viewing list. A fantastic introduction to Terry Pratchett. Also the radio play on BBC for Small Gods is short and sweet and generally delicioiusly Sir Pterry

[@moxiebombshell]

I was so surprised she hadn't read any Terry Pratchett that I literally yelped a startled "WHAT?!?!" to a sleeping house XD

[@knittingmoose]

So sad I missed this live! I was baking cookies and it couldn't be helped. I a m loving every step of this project, and can hardly wait to see the finished outfit

[@annassiter4087]

A long time ago…. When my children were young.. (they’re in there 30’s now, ). I went and did a Glamor Shots photography thing…. When I got the finished photo canvas and showed my family.. my then 5 year old daughter said, all sweet and adorably, “Oh! Mommy, you are so beautiful! You look like Miss Piggy!!!” I have never curled my hair or worn makeup since…. And that portrait has stayed in the closet….

[@kohakuaiko]

That's high praise from a 5 year old.

[@angelwhispers2060]

I'm sure your child thought it was a compliment. With no other reference for what curled and makeup are supposed to look like they thought it was great.

[@annassiter4087]

@@angelwhispers2060 …. I knew she, was being angelic-ly ,complementary and very truthful…. It wasn’t the first time my resemblance to Miss Piggy was mentioned…. My hair was curled, make up, and frilly dress… It was at Company Christmas party…. And by the owner of the company.. It was all good natured, everyone was used to seeing me, straight long hair, no makeup, glasses, jeans, t-shirt, sitting at my work bench, headphones on, soldering iron in one hand, solder in the other and a prototype controller board in front of me…. My husband was also teased about it.. They called him Kermit, as he was tall and slender and the quiet type… Since, the Glamour Shot…. Miss Piggy can stay in the closet..

[@annassiter4087]

@@kohakuaiko …. Oh yes, very high praise…. Now… everyone laughs.. and the picture still looks like Miss Piggy.

I had to stop all my projects when this mini-series came out, because I realized I was about to do something terribly wrong, that would have caused me great aggravation and wasted time and possibly a ruined project. So thank you for making these. I found this really cute green striped silk I want to make a corseted waistcoat with, and I was thinking of doing it with front lacing. And using some cord and eyelet holes to do some open stitching on the center back... I also found some pale blue wool I was going to do a second vest with, without the corset. So lots of fun this winter. I sew for the adventure. And so I will have clothes I won't hate.

[@beeb6730]

Thanks so much for posting this after the fact, I live a weird schedule so almost never make anything live and this has been a lovely asynchronous hangout 😊😊

[@katherinemorelle7115]

I also never make a live- mostly because I live at the arse end of the planet. So I’m also always grateful when they’re reposted.

[@killamoosdraree730]

I very truly appreciated your live stream and watching you make the stitches that look so beautiful. Thank you so much for doing this!!

[@moxiebombshell]

Absolutely love these longer livestreams, even when I can only watch it later

[@lilianaprina5991]

I love your video but is 4 am and I need to go to the fashion district to buy material for homework. I will finish your video another day. Thanks for all your help with instruction...

[@moxiebombshell]

2:39:21 Yes! Learning words from reading vs. hearing! This is something I've discovered is a thing for so many of us, thanks to Twitter and to listening to podcasts..Apparently I wasn't the only kid who grew up reading by myself and guessing pronounciation!

[@rachelbyers8063]

I am so blown away by the beauty of your work on Gonzo’s jacket. The tailoring you did is so, so impressive. Years ago I saved up to have a professionally sewn suit coat and was so disappointed with the final garment. Had I had one with the quality of the one you made, I would still be wear I guess it now!,

[@RattMum]

I love these live stream/posted later/longer format. Great to listen to while doing sewing/cleaning/in the bath. Very relaxing when you want company but not too much company!

[@megankilinski4580]

12:49 Discworld books are wonderful 👍 Prachett is my favorite author

[@moxiebombshell]

Agreed wholeheartedly. And also I would think something Nicole would really love!!

[@karenmeerdink4486]

Great job! Amazing that you are conversing and sewing at the same time!!!!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Yes accents!! I spent a lot of years being the new kid. I was once told by a linguist that I had regional accents on different words which was very unusual. Then add in military slang and a tendency for weird phrasing. Oh and I hung out with my grandparents a lot so dated phrases are mixed in too. I’ve been asked what my first language is. When I say english there’s disbelief. Accents are weird.

[@jenniferp6570]

This was an interesting video for so many reasons : ) With such a lovely set of fabrics. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the final outfit. You & your friend are certainly not the only ones who ended up with unusual fluctuating accents. My parents are from different UK cities, and I grew up in a West Indian country that has had differing television sources over the years. School focused on British English, there was always local vernacular (not that my folks encouraged it), and then English, American and Canadian tv programs were available...throw in things written from Elizbethan time straight through the 20th century with a voracious reading habit and you get my formerly Transatlantic accent (before I went to college). My sister sounds quite different of course! And the way speech changes as you meet others and pick up new knowledge just makes it more intriguing. But I am often asked where I'm from, with few believing me when I answer "right here." *shrug*

[@hannadavison6200]

You’re just so delightful and smart as hell!

[@threadsandpurrs]

Thank you for the company while I figure out my 12th night dress :)

[@lisaowen6103]

Another nice Muppet Christmas story. Was Emmit Otter's Jug Band Christmas. If you haven't already seen it. There were some good costumes in that special . A bit of history bounding there too. Happy New Year Everyone. 🐯

[@jori7398]

Thanks for the live-even though I’m 10 months late, it’s a treat! I’m a new sewer. And just FYI: While reading chat, saw someone asking to Mod. Please be oh so careful if you do start using Mods, and choose a very trusted person. I just learned hackers can get into the computer/phone through streaming software. Been seeing loads of people shamelessly pleading to Mod around YT lately-I think the hacking is why. It’s such a nice group of subs, imho you don’t need any Mods.

[@saritshull3909]

I loved this! I've been watching it in stages and it's such an enjoyable format for your content

[@AmazingJellyfish]

Love popping your livestreams on when I am sewing.

[@ahuman3642]

Thank you for the lovely livestream today

[@teddycuthbert]

Questions I asked (time stamps for my own enjoyment!) 24:26 28:35 1:05:05 1:15:06

[@kathleenmayer2729]

can you do a video on reusing the cloth on clothes we don't want anymore but want to use the fabric to make something from it?

[@nicolakunz231]

Watching this whole thing for company on a tough day.

[@michellecornum5856]

WoW! That is one Amazing, labor intensive pocket!

[@holzlastname1976]

I just noticed how beautifully that burnt senna color looks at you, it goes so well with your coloring ❤️ I have very similar color and it's horrid on me lol

[@rabbitlovesraven]

perfect thing to sit and sew like 15 buttons on a dress too :D

[@gnviev]

Love to see you live from Montreal

[@mcomeslast]

I grew up in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. That is how we say it!

[@lindaenglund5268]

Lovely coat! Where is the full video of this coat?

[@lindadunn2591]

How do you find space for project materials?

[@esmesvintagecloset]

I was born in Norfolk UK. And you know, I never thought about how it was said!!! As a born and bred Norfolker, I've always said it as "Nahr-fuk" and our county town, Norwich, is said as "Naaarridge". People who don't have a Norfolk accent say "Nor-fuk" and "Norridge" or "Norrich".

[@LycIrisAurora]

Ah yes. When my dad moved to the Norfolk in Virginia and like.... pronounced the "l" and everyone immediately knew we were not from there.

[@esmesvintagecloset]

@@LycIrisAurora ha, yes, we *always* know ;) mind you, having lived in Stoke on Trent (Staffordshire, UK) for the past 25 years, I am now seen as a foreigner having lost almost all trace of my original Norwich accent... and am a foreigner at home because my accent is not Stokie either! I'm neither one, nor t'other 🤣

[@GoingGreenMom]

Lol, started grad school when editing seemed daunting. 🤣 love it. All I have left of grad school is writing a thesis or doing a project of some sort.... editing is so much less daunting to me. 😊

[@laurenarigo3894]

The dry cleaners that we go to has a Mcquade special which is both sides for suit coats mostly. Mcquade is the local boys catholic school that requires suit coats and my brother and his friends destroy those things.

[@saritshull3909]

I would love a video on how to make that lampshade I've been looking for something like that

[@venlafaxinequeen421]

I’m excited for the shoes

[@lindadunn2591]

Kalamazoo, M. Constant rain withsplats of snow...weatherproofing? What can be applied to shoes for Edwardians?

[@threadsandpurrs]

Regarding the soles for vegan shoes, I wonder if some sort of sealed cork would work? possibly in combination with oilcloth?

How long does it take you to make a full outfit from Alan 🤠

[@stephengent9974]

Knitting is very old. The first known knitting is from Egypt and Syria. Home knitting was common in the 13th century. Thee were knitting guilds for men only.

[@lyn3325]

I just checked on Twitch and couldn't find you. What name do you think you will use?

[@AlanWilkinson-zd4vg]

I do cowboys re-enactments the claws I've got are form 1881 two 1889 🤠

[@louiseadaikkalam3995]

In future live stream, could you please indicate verbally what question you are answering, since on KZbin it is hard to see the questions scrolling and watching you work. Very interesting nonetheless.

[@lisaterk9318]

What sources do you use for fabrics?

[@amb163]

Do you need a blue scarf knitted for this ensemble? I can do that for you, if you need it!

[@briefisbest]

That IS how it's pronounced!

[@lkrumwiede334]

In Nebraska, Norfolk is pronounced "Norfork"

[@theredrover3217]

I empathize with "making a living" aspect, have found it very frustrating. 😒 Any reasonably adequate compensation prices goods so very expensive to severely limit the customer base. Even using best case scenario or optimal efficency which is less obtainable without a wretched level of mass production. I mean I could accomplish a 5th identical full Gonzo outfit more efficiently and quicker than the 2nd. And that 2nd a snap (relatively) with all the research and sourcing required done only on the 1st. And what is the fun in that? 😁 (Just an example - not equating myself capable of or even willing TO copy YOUR Gonzo. 😏)

[@davidhensley76]

Are you aware of "The Making of A Muppet Christmas Carol" on KZbin? It might give you different views of Gonzo's costumes.

[@GoingGreenMom]

You could do streamyard and stream to twitch and youtube at the same time.

[@keric3730]

At about 1 hour 48 minutes, she mentioned cleaning clothes.

[@keric3730]

"Hobbies are still for rich people because otherwise you're told to monetize your hobby" As a disabled person with no income who's trying to start a clothing repair class..... ouch. That hurt a lot. I have so many hobbies because I can't do other things. Trying to figure out how to turn at least one of them into income. @.@

[@jillofnotrades]

I know this video is a year old now, but I could help with 3D if ya like :) Love your videos!

[@katrinaniewiarowski3549]

You said “Katherine Hepburn “ and yay you’re totally a Katherine Hepburn!!!

[@susanpolastaples9688]

I hope Ms Callahan included Dandy Wellington in her Dandy book.

[@angelaplatts]

Norfolk is an English county, are you are indeed pronouncing it correctly - Norf'k. It may sound rude, but not as rude as the Yorkshire (England) contraction of the word: "couldn't". 😋

[@pengruiqio]

Since you are so good at so many things I was starting to think "nope she's just an exceptional neurotypical" but nope of course🤍
