I am also a doctor-seamstress. When my sons were children, I sewed all their costumes and a lot of their clothing. Nowadays, I sew a lot more historically-inspired clothing. (I also reupholster our furniture and sew drapes, just like you do.) That double piping is beautiful and inspiring.

[@ourabouras]

Now this is the kind of haute couture I can get behind, so elegant and timeless (that jacket rocks with a pair of jeans). Also love the STEM interlude, it’s so important to see how different professions/arts influence each other and commingle

[@Sewstine]

Thank you so much!

[@sallysaindon3752]

The Spencer turned out so beautiful!! I don't know why but I thought the jacket with jeans was a really fun look

[@az_twist6267]

I love your new backdrop, and the pink linen was an inspired choice. I enjoyed Bernadette's video on making the Spencer, but the detail shows up so much better on camera in pink. You looked adorable.

[@Mandy_Savage]

I was on the fence about buying the pattern, but then you put the jacket on over jeans and a shirt. Now it's a must have. Obsessed for sure.

[@TheEclecticCloset]

Ms. Sewstine, I want to say thank you for the amazing videos, but I must say thank you for explaining the blood cells to me. My daughter was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the tender age of 3, and upon the results of an endoscopy/colonoscopy was one of the top 5 worst colon cases they have ever seen at Seattle Children’s. You have managed to explain to me this lab results better than her GI specialist and nurses when she gets her infusion of Remicade. I never would have thought that I would learn something about my daughters UC in a sewing video. I cried watching that part. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

[@stevezytveld6585]

This is brilliantly done. Thank you so much for being a beta tester on this project. The jacket, she looks spectacular. Congratulations. And thanks to Ms. Banner and the team behind the Costume Industry Coalition for all of the work going into saving this vital sector. These beyond talented people, who produce such beautiful and eloquent art, need our support and funds. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown

[@illfayted]

I love it in the pink! The contrast of the super structured almost military trim elements with the such a soft feminine color is really cool. It's so versatile and cute. I didn't know that friction pen reappeared if you froze it, I suppose that's good to know if you're planning to wear a project outside in freezing temps.

[@madeleinerose7090]

Same. I’m a bit worried now, tbh. I used the pens extensively on the AD Cult Cape I just finished that I was planning to use as my winter coat. 😳

[@sarahrosen4985]

About the pens, I only learned that recently from Vintagebursche. In his tutorial on how to make detachable men's shirt collars he warned that the pen lines on the collar will return if you wear your shirt out in the cold. I also see some possibilities for interesting hidden messages. . . ;-)

[@espurrlady3397]

The medical interlude was incredible. Also, I squealed when you added the leaves because the first thing I thought when I saw Bernadette's video about this pattern was, "I can use it to make that pink spencer jacket from the beginning of Emma 2020," and your jacket looks AMAZING.

[@jacobgalos9081]

a white turtleneck and jeans would be a nice way to modernize it!

[@TheAgeofFabulous]

I loved how you used the medical terms for referencing the darts! I only ever hear medial and lateral when doctors are referencing something on my body and their about to do a procedure. FYI I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so I have LOTS of doctors and LOTS of procedures.

[@jocelynleung7480]

"while my sleeves were literally chilling" ROFL

[@BMoll87]

I was waiting for this since Instagram!!!! If I had time, I would make myself a Spencer as well! This one in particular is so absolutely gorgeous! I loved Bernadettes as well, but with your fabric choice the appliqué is so much more easy to admire (at least on camera/ screen)!

[@Sewstine]

Thank you!!

[@silkyraven1117]

This jacket is so lovely! Pink is such a perfect color for it. I just wanted to mention that lapel is pronounced luh-pehl instead of lapple. I'm sorry, I didn't want to be that person, but my brain just wouldn't let it go. I definitely would not have the patience for all that trim work, what a feat!

[@meagan1772]

I love that this is more androgynous 🥺🥺 I've enjoyed learning about historical fashion, but I'd never wear a dress. This is a project I can actually see myself trying in the future !!

[@FaerieDust]

I love your version of this jacket, the pink linen is so dainty and cute! The medical stuff warmed my poor med school dropout heart - an actual medical career is no longer in the cards for me, but I still love it so much. Combining medicine and costuming _and_ Hamilton all in one video was almost too much good to cope with 😁💖 Ooh, and your Regency outfit was so cute!! I love the embroidery along the hem! Not gonna lie I was a little bit confused seeing you in jeans, but you were totally right about the jacket looking great with a "modern" casual outfit too.

[@MossyMozart]

@FaerieDust - MD is only one career path in medicine. There are others. They are cheaper, too!

[@ninja13b]

I am OBSESSED with this in pink.

[@WhiteHeather82]

Aw thank you for sweet the shoutout! I'd loooove to see you make one of the Schuyler sisters outfits too. I'm sure it would be incredible! I adore how your spencer turned out. The light pink color really shows off all the lovely detailing.

[@Sewstine]

Hahaha! Oh you found it! I would SO love to be Peggy with you some day!

[@emiliocanals4520]

When you put it on with the corset and legging my jaw dropped, it looks STUNNING on you! Such an amazing set of looks you put together!

[@MossyMozart]

@ Emilio Canals - That was my favorite look, too. I wonder where she found such well-fitting, heavy cream-colored leggings. All the light colors I've seen are see-through and don't fit so well in a non-stretchy way. They get sagging fast.

[@MossyMozart]

Never mind! I finally decided to check the intro info and there was a link to the leggings. DOH! Equestrian quality - makes sense.

[@Chibihugs]

Not only did she make a gorgeous spencer but gave us 3 amazing ways to rock it. This is gorgeous, thanks for sharing your process, changes and that surprise medical moment.

[@Sewstine]

Thank you Dumpling!!

[@unepommeverte17]

this is so gorgeous!!! idk how many other people have made it, but so far I've only seen this video and Bernadette's. I feel like there's some applicable trope about the pastel one and the goth one lol. Both are amazing, and I'm kinda glad you did a pastel one, since I was lowkey confused at some points in Bernadette's video because I couldn't actually see the details she was talking about. Like, I had no idea there was double piping all the way around lol. I also appreciated the tip about the excess fabric by the shoulder. I'll have to check that next time I make a fitted coat or something. Maybe someday I'll make a version of this myself, like if I ever get around to making my OTGW Beatrice cosplay (since she's pretty obviously regency)

[@kerchuansoong]

All the details on the spencer really adds to that romantic regency look. You look freaking beautiful in all the outfits! I especially love the ensemble one. You're just non-stop ☺️ By the way, I love your recent video style! I feel like a honored guest invited to your cozy storytelling hours. Thank you for sharing as always 💛

This was an absolute joy to watch! I cannot sew at all but find it fascinating and soothing to watch masters like yourself.

[@rebeccacuthbertson1271]

Love this. Glad I can support CIC by watching another incredible costumer's content. And that lesson on ESR cracked me up! Love when your degree/profession collides with your projects. AND OMG I loved every single outfit you put together with that spencer. Seriously. Absolutely gorgeous. If you weren't inside I'd add a parasol to your regency look to cap it off but I also just love parasols so that might just be a me thing 😁 This spencer jacket and the AD cape might be the trendiest pieces of clothing this year. Why do I live in FL again where it's too hot and humid to wear either of these most of the year? 😂

[@roadrunnercrazy]

I find that, for me, it depends largely on the fabric print used as to whether or not it reminds me of a nightgown....especially when paired with a little white ruffled cap. This one definitely does not look like a nightgown. It is beautiful!😁

[@CrownDayDreamer]

[@bohemiansusan2897]

Was a lot of fun to watch and I loved the double piping the most. I plan on doing my jacket in black when I get around that the planned projects that come first. One thing I've used over the years is a red iron on transfer pencil to trace whatever pattern and iron it on. Or I do an iron on that comes out white against a dark colored fabric. Do this using my printer to make the transfer. I find it easier for me.

[@FromtheMPR]

It made me smile when you "corrected" "the medial" to "the more central" (it took me a moment to realize not everyone would understand medial). Love your videos.
