Popping in here to let you know that I’ll be on a little 2-week hiatus from regular Saturday uploads, as I’m headed back to England in December! Which means that the next two weeks will be focused on finishing up sewing projects and filming lots of things to take with me so that hopefully we can keep on schedule whilst my attention is momentarily fractured across projects for the next two months. :)

Bernadette Banner perhaps you can do more small vlog stuff. Perhaps do more stuff like the american duchess hair styling. Or perhaps some Shopping? Be sure to bring books!! I find that one can always finish at least one book on a long flight. Or perhaps if you wanted to sew, get some audiobooks. The app overdrive or hoopla is connected to libraries and you can check a few out at a time. Many people think that audiobooks are cheating, but as a librarian I say it’s not. One is still putting the time into the book all while often doing other productive things.

Do you have a link to where you bought those beautiful torchiere lamps? I would Yelp a handy man and have him use a circular saw to trim the two pieces of tabletop to fit. Another idea is to replace the dresser knobs (at least the visible ones) with ones that are Victorian-ish such as these www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4SBBS4/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_Q3t2DbZD950XP

That sounds wonderful! I sincerely hope you manage to do all that you set out to in those two weeks Since you obviously like Terry Pratchett, I must ask; have you, or are you planning to read Good Omens? I think you would really enjoy it! You could most likely find a copy quite easily while you're in England, since it is an entirely British book. Maybe have a look around for it if you're interested!

Hi there! I'm actually in the middle of this video, but had to immediately pause it when you got to the historial booklets you have stored in plastic bags! I used to work in an archive for a castle that had a LOT of historical books, and you must never ever store them in plastic because it can create its own little atmosphere in the bag which causes moisture and mold. Store them in a box made of acid-free white card. This allows them to 'breathe'. Don't want those beautiful pieces to be spoiled. They're wonderful!

"standing up is difficult when your spine doesn't stand straight" lol I feel that. I have scoliosis too. But I just barely am missing the mark on needing to wear a brace. I also injured my ankle and have to wear a boot. As a result of my scoliosis I have to wear a shoe on my other foot so that I don't hurt my hips or back more. I do ballet so I'm surprised that this is my worst injury yet, but thankfully I will be able to stand flat and completely equal pretty soon. My month is almost over and then I can stand flat once more!! And not hurt my spine anymore. I'm sorry I just heard that and realized that the one time I showed my mom one of your videos she compared me to you also it's not every day that I find another human who has scoliosis and loves to sew, and just generally is a person that I can look up to. Also you inspired my very first Victorian dress it's still being made but it makes me happy that I will get to wear it and also that I am making it so thank you.

Dear Bernadette, I merely wish to note that you've been a great inspiration for me to start sewing. Not mostly historical, admittedly, but just the way you gush about your projects, the humility you view your obviously considerable skill with and the seriousness with which you do this - although not *too* serious, you are both thorough and brave in your choices. So thank you. At a point in time where I really needed some inspiration, you have been it.

There are quite a few of us who are attempting to come up with the excuse to cram an entire library into our homes, however small. I bought a powerball ticket in the vain hopes of being able to afford building a house modeled in the style of a 15th century Scottish country castle, because it has a rooms labelled enticing things such as "2 story library" and "secret passageway", and "butler's pantry". 🤓 (It also has about 6000 square feet more space than I need, but I'm fairly sure I could run a place like that as a B&B or preparatory school of witchcraft and wizardry.)

Jam jar hoarders unite. And Bernina owners, although mine is probably from the 80s and was rescued from a high school home economics class, so it's not quite as pretty. (I've got my eye on the treadle-operated Singer that my grandmother keeps outside her own sewing room, already used by several generations of our family. Soon, perhaps, I can construct early 20th century clothes on a period-appropriate machine...) I love the primary-document collection. My academic specialty is ancient writing of the Americas, and I think not enough people truly appreciate the glory of written records directly from the target time period!

My passion for cleaned out glasses (changes if they are from jam, smoothies or pizza sauce) goes so far that I even keep those which are full of dried paint because I use them as water containers when they're still clean and pretty. I like the effect dried watercolors give on their rim. And I always feel like a strange person for loving old books and being passionate about medieval handwritten manuscripts. I study German and literature in general and I am so proud about our wide history when it comes to the roots of our language and culture. When I was in London earlier this year and stopped by at the British Museum I spent little eternities in front of medieval manuscripts, astounded by the craftsmanship.

Dear Bernadette, congratulations on your sewing room! I've been watching your channel in envy for quite a while now and while I am in no way a creative person, you've inspired me to make my very own clothing item: a simple circle skirt. I do not own a sewing table, a dress form, measuring tape, patterning paper, a sewing machine or even an iron (basically: I own nothing crafts related). I used some historical techniques explained by you to get around these barriers. I bought some cheap fabric, some needles, many pins and some thread and just went for it. My skirt is definately more mock-up quality than a socially aceptable project, but I am nontheless very pround of myself. Thank you for giving me the motivation to produce at least one item of clothing for myself rather than just buying everyting. This project would not have happened without you! And yes: it has pockets :)

When you figure out the measurements just go to a fabric store or fabric market and look around. You don't even have to buy anything if you don't feel inspired enough. If you have your materials just don't overdo it. Never spent more than a couple of hours a day, because you will get sore and frustrated.

It's one of the muscles that moves your leg into position to sit cross-legged. It's called the sartorius muscle, from the Latin "sartor", which means "tailor". So even anatomically, it's known as sitting tailor-fashion or tailor-style.

Bernadette, I'm absolutely entranced by your channel. The first video I saw was the recreation of the David painting at the NGA, where I used to be a docent. I was a naval officer and am currently working on an article about the naval officers in Jane Austen's Persuasion for the US Naval Institute. It would be so cool to see you do a recreation of a naval officer's uniform from the Regency Period. I get a feeling that along with your primary viewers, you may have a modest but passionate following of men subscribers - history and craftsmanship enthusiasts, who would enjoy that.

I wanted to say thank you for posting these videos, they've really inspired me to treat my clothes differently. I don't think I'm ever going to become a full on seamstress, but watching you work, hearing the way you talk about clothes, and seeing how you treat your fabrics has inspired me to learn more about how to take care of and mend my own clothes. Most recently I learned how to mend holes in cashmere sweaters so I could repair one that had a couple moth holes in it. Thank you again for the inspiration, and looking forward to watching more!

A Victorian-style “crazy quilt” would use some trims and scraps of lovely velvet and wool. You could make a lap sized one.

*opens the magazine* Me: It's THE scissors. *Continues showing sewing room/space* Me: THE SCISSORS. Everyone has those bird scissors and I low key want them again because I saw the illustration/ad in the magazine you flipped through. (Also ngl I always thought they were just another product being advertised as vintage/antique but wasn't really based on anything other than aesthetic, but now I know. Also neat to know they were once called the Gloriana embroidery and ripping scissors... Or at least in this magazine lol). Now I will buy them an be the trash I truely am

I have a pair of the bird scissors my mother bought me back in the 1980s; she remembered her grandmother had a pair but not what happened to them. It's lovely to see these things in continual use and/or production for so many years.

I had to stop the video to pull out my heron scissors to compare them! They are nearly identical, however mine are marked Germany. I also have an antique iron - but I use it as a bookend. Absolutely loved the tour (we have such similar tastes in authors!) and I will probably replay and watch it again as I work in my Victorian Studio today ;)

I know this is like a month late but an idea for some of your cabbage could be to create a wrist pin cushion. I used the lid of an old small jar as the base and used my tiny cabbage bits as stuffing. It helps for when I’m away from my pin cushion or when I’m draping. I have a matching tiny one on an old bottle cap for at my sewing machine and a large pin cushion using an old tea cup.
