For really Thicck (tm) seams, I've used a sail palm! They're usually used for canvas work (hence "sail") and therefore canvas/leather needles, but they've saved my fingers on SO many occasions. Also an awl for when I really mess up and just need ONE thread to get through ONE place that's through several layers of thick fabric. I would not be surprised if they were used every once and a while historically either. If you have a tool for it, why not use it?

@danielleboon1543 8 ай бұрын

Just a thought for dealing with that bulk: what if you hammered your seams? You do that in modern sewing, particularly with blue jeans, as the fabric is so dense and so many seams get felled. Most modern home sewing machines really struggle with seeing through upwards of a dozen layers of denim. Idk if there’s any historical record of that kind of practice. With denim, you can chalk it up to part of the distressing, a bit of crushed fabric just adds to the appeal. With wool, the fibres would felt together and it probably wouldn’t have a measurable effect on the durability

@thecatofnineswords 8 ай бұрын

You know what, now I don't feel that bad for making the same mistake of buying some heavy wool when I made my cloak last year 😂. Last autumn I decided to make a glorious and very dramatic ankle length 3/4 circle cape (for maximum swooshiness) toped with a capelet and a big hood. I ended up making it out of around 9 meters of a heavy black wool fabric and even though fulling lining it wasn't a bad idea 😅 Needless to say I ended up with a very heavy cloak (4.5 kg to be exact). I ended up having to insert some shoulder pads just so the weight would be better distributed on my shoulder. Anyway it's still one of my favorite piece in my wardrobe and the weight of it definitely hasn't stopped me from wearing it hahaha. I'm planing on making another shorter cape this season and I just love your design 😍 so thank you so much for making this pattern available for us! Hopefully this time I will be a little wiser in my fabric choices 🤞🏻

@DawnDavidson 8 ай бұрын

Fortunately, a cape for a little one can be made quite easily with very little fabric! I even made one for my daughter (when she was little) out of offcuts from a tunic I’d made years earlier from polar fleece. I overlapped the seams - rather than putting them back to back as usual - and sewed them flat with a fancy stitch to avoid bulk. It had the advantage of making the whole cape reversible, too! My ex - her dad - also used to make cloaks out of blankets that required no sewing whatsoever. A fleece lap blanket from the local Dollar Tree or 5 Below might make an excellent, inexpensive choice for a quick kid-cape. I hope your kid gets her cape, even if you won’t be flying over to have Bernadette make it anytime soon!

Reminds me of when I bought a princess cut wool coat (complete with giant hood of course). It's so heavy but also so comforting to wear because of the weight. The cape is lovely, especially the design on the back. ❤

I’m a punk so all the sewing I can do is repair and additions. I’m constantly obsessed with this kind of work it’s so intricate, and you can’t just shrug it off and call it aesthetic when you mess up.

It's so lovely that your pattern weights reference your previous projects in the scrap fabric you chose for them!

Bernadette - I've followed your videos for what feels like ages, and recently took up sewing to augment my passion for historical dress. I've just purchased your book and subscribed to your Skillshare -- thank you so much for sharing your beautiful craft, and taking me/us all on the journey!

The satchel is do beautiful 19:51 Will certainly check it out. Love all Victorian fashion style. I'm still a baby with sewing but I made my goal to make a full Victorian witch outfit next year after learning all the basics

I got some wool for the easiest to tailor over-gown. The Scottish Arisaid. step one: Rectangle. Step two: YOU'RE DONE Construction completed, you fold in some pleats and wrap it around yourself. I like wearing a blanket. makes me feel warm.

i would absolutely love a witchy cape but we are heading into summer here in Australia and it usually lasts about 6 months, so i imagine ill be back around april or so when i can wear capes without becoming a soup

An absolutely gorgeous cape, love the back yoke details and using the velver pieces enhances it so much better

That is stunning! It's a beautiful pattern. The back yoke is so lovely the velvet stands out beautifully! I'm so adding this pattern to my Christmas wish list!

OK, call me mad, but around 6:01 I actually got a little teary-eyed. This is just so beautiful to watch. :')

Found my next hobby!! I use to sew as a kid, learned a run on stitch and a pillow stitch and got pretty far in making stuff those but quit for some reason, I recently got a hold of a sewing machine and fixed it up. I've been testing it on small things I have a few scraps of cloth laying about I feel ready to take on a bit more difficult project. So I'ma make a simple vest first then add lining and a collar I'll see where things go and take it as a learning opportunity with practice I'ma get full blown into tailering my own clothes

17:24 Gosh do I know the feeling. I miss my buddy so much. We had him off to the side of the kitchen and at first he thought any vegetable bag rustling obviously meant it was he, the king, who was getting fed. Eventually he came to just assume that *literally any time we opened the fridge*, it was time for noms. His royal highness, lord of all our carrots and lettuce, ate often.

This is great. It's amazing how Bernadette's videos always make me fantasize about complicated garments I could create, although my actual skills are barely enough to make a skirt!
