Sewing The Cutest 18th Century Jacket (OMG This took Me Forever)

[@judithcollins3744]

Am I the only one who thinks this type of jacket, would ROCK modern jeans or slacks? SO cute and unique to the boring stuff we wear today!

[@Costuming_Drama]

I FULLY agree.

[@dorym8045]

“Why am I doing this when it is not the reality?” Because hope springs eternal. 😊

[@Costuming_Drama]

😂🤣 true

[@lauraa5136]

I love projects that are real in terms of the length of time it actually takes. "Quick" projects that take forever are so very real. Thank you for this. I'm currently procrastinating making my cousin's wedding dress. You're giving me inspiration.

[@Costuming_Drama]

So true! I hope the wedding dress turns out beautifully!

[@AkumakoCross]

A small addition to the segment around 29:00 about doing it all yourself: It’s easy to forget that making one dress (or whatever garment) often involved not just multiple professionals, but multiple professions. The tailor/dressmaker was rarely also the embroiderer or the milliner. Even in modern couture houses, rarely does one person do it all. So when you’re trimming your fancy dresses and embroidering your waistcoats, remember that you’re taking on the work of multiple professionals - for your own enjoyment.

[@Costuming_Drama]

True fact!

[@daedubois9428]

Yay! A visit from one of the cats! The garment is nice too.

[@Costuming_Drama]

Thank you! 😊

Lovely fabric, beautiful fit and construction. Loved your reflection at how great your handfinishing was in retrospect compared to how you felt about it at the time. I feel like so many of us see flaws in work that nobody else would ever see, when it's actually done well.

[@Costuming_Drama]

Thank you so much!

[@mirandarensberger6919]

I have definite memories of being disgusted at my own work while I'm doing it, only to look at it months later and not even be able to see anything wrong.

[@diamondslashranch]

I’m going to preface this with I’m old and when I was young I was so upset with a pattern that I called the maker on a phone mounted on the wall😂. I talked to a nice lady and when we were done she basically told me they use fit models and I was too large and tall😢. Lesson learned was now I customize every pattern to fit me before I start. I wish was a quick fix I could recommend but someone smarter than I will have to come up with that.

[@mirandarensberger6919]

Wait, she told you it was your fault for not being the size of a fashion model?

[@tonantzin4977]

I can relate to your LOTR marathon watching. I watched the entire thing starting at 5pm and finishing at 5 am the next morning.

I've been working on a basic bodice block for over 2 years now and still not got it right so I think 10 months to do a fairly complex, mostly hand-sewn project with multiple side quests along the way is entirely respectable. Also, great reaction to too much lord of the rings 😂 just put it in the volcano already is a vibe

[@wolkehauch7445]

I'm procraftinating starting a whole Regency ensemble by luceting some cord for trim to go on a wool Spencer. I'm dealing with ME/CFS so being constantly low on energy makes the startitis even worse, and doing small projects sitting on the sofa, watching through all your old vlogs is both helpful and inspiring. It was actually serching YT for videos on making Regency stays that led me here. Came for specific content, stayed for the entire personality. Epic win for an introvert to find a chatty extrovert doing vlogs, doesn't matter that the conversation is a bit one-sided as long as you have fun making them and we all have fun watching them. ❤

[@Costuming_Drama]

Well I’m so glad you are here!

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

"What am I doing wrong as a maker?" It might not be you. Every time I tried to line up curves with each other (princess seam for example) I'd wind up with one side that behaved and one side that didn't. It's gotten better since I walked my seams (heavily modified pattern for my shape) and found one was out a quarter-inch, and also I don't mark my seam allowances anymore, I mark my stitch lines. Makring the stitch lines has definitely improved my sewing accuracy.

[@Costuming_Drama]

Thank you for the vote of confidence!

[@hannnahm]

That IS the cutest little jacket! Looks so amazing with that adorable hat. Finished the Sandman season, got over COVID, finished my shawl and starting a new shawl with my very first yarn I dyed myself.

[@alexandrawellington8028]

Beautiful fabric and jacket!!! I have an embroidered quilt that I started in the late 1990's, finally finished that this century...and yet it is not a quilt yet. There are many more projects that are not quilts yet. Oh and a dress that I started in the early 1990's that is not finished and will never fit me but I have found someone tiny enough that it will fit!!! So you are goin well for just 10 months to finish!!!!!!! LOL

[@Costuming_Drama]

Hahahaha well at least I have that!

[@randommeasures4618]

I did a double-take at the back-it has such surprisingly '80s feels; but then, you turn around, and it's like BAM fab neckline and shaping! Also, the music was a refreshing respite from the typical KZbin stock music every crafter seems to favor; I understand the library prevents videos from getting bopped, but I'd hope it's bigger than just 3 pieces to choose from 😅

[@Costuming_Drama]

Most of us don’t use the KZbin stuff! We use epidemic sound or other services. KZbin has a lot of stuff in their library, but most of it is meh….

Seeing from the side is actually legit helpful. I am about the same size/ build and that curve at the bottom in stays where my belly starts drives me crazy. I’ve started trying to gently pad underbust to try and make the front of my historical clothes totally straight but seeing someone else with that curve makes me feel much more human/normal. I know this is peak weird, but I appreciate the detail. Thanks for showing all angles, it actually means a lot to me. ❤

[@Costuming_Drama]

Oh wonderful! I hope you make amazing things!!

[@SusieMurdoch]

Yay for asymmetical bodies-- and the ability to tailor clothes to make them look like the fit like a glove! I was thinking that excess on the outer fabric probably is done on purpose. There is always easing in quilting...well in my version there is. So, that's what makes me think the easing was intentional so that the seam allowance was wide enough (and also to give it strength).

[@SusieMurdoch]

And yay for black kitties! We have one, too. She's a diva.

Until you mentioned it. It’s not a horrible thing that projects get lost in the shuffle. Real life has a nasty habit of mucking up plans. I have a couple projects on the back burner that I really should get back to. My son wants a dress shirt. He’s even bought the material. Once the grandson finds out he’ll want one as well! I’ve been spring cleaning. Though I’m being hampered by needing to fix my closet. I spend half my time discovering that I can’t do this until I do that! I’m also losing an argument with my washer. I’m not reading anything right now but I did just buy Murder with Peacocks by Donna Andrews. My friend has been talking about it for years and it was on sale at audible so yeah. I guess I should read it. I made her pick up May Sage’s Wicked Crown series cause I want to talk to her about it. So I should pick up one of the series she talks about. She didn’t tell me it was like 30 or so long now!We’ve been friends for almost 40 years now so she puts up with my bossy ways 😅

[@potatertot360]

That little "bite" adjustment on the armpit edge of the strap (@32:14) is the exact same adjustment I want to make to several things i own! I think it's got something to do with the relative distance between the underbust and the armpit, like the design expects there to be more space there than there really is, or maybe they expect the arm to be much larger than it is. Busty people problems.

Congrats on getting this project done! It truly is the cutest jacket and cutest hat! Today was meant to be a rest day after getting an appointment but adhd brain struck and suddenly I was cutting up my flanno to make it into a crop version, as I'd been half planning to since I bought it last Winter as we're starting to creep into cold weather again. I was just finishing off the new hem when this video started in my watch later, and it felt really appropriate to have your "company" while I worked through it. Both because your grunge dress, but also the theme of this video. While I had been able to wear the flanno for the year, I have spent many hours pondering what the process will be to make the change, while working on other projects or being side-tracked by life. Classic scope creep has entered the ring though, the sewing is finished but I realised I have some cute pink buttons to replace the "classic" brown buttons, because I didn't mention already: it's a hot pink and white flanno. So so comfy and ridiculous, and going to be so much better for having cute buttons too.

[@nancywillaert5129]

Seeing you doing this, it makes me rethink of making the historical clothing for my porcelain doll, she’s one of a kind made by someone and I bought a lot of patterns.

I made the hat you encouraged me to make. I'm currently on a history thread on my own insta, but I will tag you when I get to it. I turned out nice. I hope it will serve its purpose through those HOT summer months. Can't wait. I understand about putting off projects. For me, sewing is a hobby rather than a job, so when the job calls, the sewing gets put back a bit. I have this flannel kimono that I want so bad, but I've been putting it off for almost a year now. I have the fabric and everything. I just... you know when the time is just not right? That is my flannel kimono project. I really want it though.

I sew on a medieval dress or two when it comes to pieces, one in linen and one in wool. needs very little corrections on the sleeves and laying them out, the next thing is a ball top for my 1883 dress i am reading harry potter and the half blood prince with my daughter. things I watch the office with my husband, outlander and whit coller in the evening to sleep

I love how this came out! You did a great job with the sleeves As for what I'm working on, I'm currently juggling undergraduate homework with sewing the ribbons onto my second ever pair of pointe shoes. And possibly dyeing them purple, because who doesn't want purple pointe shoes! :D

[@Costuming_Drama]

Purple pointe shoes sounds awesome!

[@Nessi-dances]

Oh wow, I remember that patreon chat! lol, glad to see the finished jacket! It looks really good 💜

[@Costuming_Drama]

Oh thank you!

[@OriginalAfrocentricDesignbyLis]

Great job! I wanted you to model all the skirts with the blouse/top.

[@Costuming_Drama]

Maybe next time. That much getting dressed is exhausting!

I'm so glad you finished this project! My 1890s costume is progressing slowly (I finally finished the insertion lace on the petticoat) as I've been spending more time reading, writing and travelling this year. I'm in the middle of "A Day of Fallen Night" by Samantha Shannon - an epic fantasy about women fighting dragons.

[@Costuming_Drama]

Oooo that sounds amazing!

[@Allison35086]

@@Costuming_Drama It's a prequel to Priory of the Orange Tree, which was also about women from all over the (fantasy) world teaming up to defeat an ancient dragon. The books are very long, but they're also stand-alone - not a long series.

I love Casey's channel

I had the same issues with the side pieces not lining up at the waist and also had to fudge. Assumed my linen was too squishy but maybe not! Very cute btw!

[@Costuming_Drama]

It’s a very strange problem and it seems that many of us had it!
