This is absolutely beautiful, I love it. I too usually want my clothes in a slightly darker shade of goth, so I'll try to recreate this at some point! Would you ever consider making the outfit (or at least the shirt) of the Dread Pirate Roberts from Princess Bride? Probably not entirely historically accurate, but a nice shirt with some different details and it's black!

When she talked about forgetting about the button overlap and having to piece it on, I instantly felt so much better about the fact that I was at that moment, in point of fact, unpicking yards of seam binding because I didn't think ahead properly and ended up doing it back-arseward and ending up with an ugly join front and center of a robe lapel roll instead of a smooth continuum, and now have to do it over again if I don't want Future Me to get unreasonably ragey every time I see it from now until the whole thing is worn-out rags and compost. *le sigh* But hey...if Madame Time-Traveling Goth Goblin Herself still makes those kinds of mistakes, then that must mean I'm NOT a total idiot and this is something that happens to all of us.

Bernadette picking black projects is like me picking black pants in my teen years. Literally, one time I made a compromise with my mother to get something other than black, and I just got dark grey. I still wear mostly black pants to this day, but I do have some dark blue or grey, and even my black pants will have (small/hidden) color details. Black is just always in fashion and looks great with pretty much anything.

That shoulder binder and shoulder strap are both such nifty practical details - they remind me a lot of "saddle shoulders" (both horizontal and vertical) that you see in some historical cabled sweaters! I definitely want to try and incorporate that into my next shirt project. I know all-black for some time wasn't as commonly used because making the color required a two-stage dye process (and was thus more expensive), but now I wonder how much of the lack of all-black garments was also because the sewists thought about doing all that work by candlelight and went "Absolutely Not". 😂
@leemasters3592 Жыл бұрын
I'm guessing working with black fabric would be something people would have saved for daylight hours whenever possible. I know even today with ultra bright LED work lamps many crocheters and knitters avoid black yarn as its more difficult to see your stitches. Using black fabric for counted embroideries (cross stitch etc where you have to work into the holes on an open weave fabric) is also harder than lighter fabrics.
@Trassel242 Жыл бұрын
Here in Sweden, peasant women would typically only have one dress for formal occasions, and since black was an expensive colour to dye/maintain, they’d get a black dress and then wear it to both weddings and funerals. So it’s not until the end of the 1800’s that our peasant women started wearing white wedding dresses, too.

Bernadette, just to let you know. You may make a lot of garments that have black but I have never noticed it myself. And if other people that watch your channel don't like the fact that you make things with a lot of black. Don't listen to them. Seriously, you keep creating what makes you happy and that speaks to your soul. Because when you're happy it shines through and I see it on your face and your expression. You're just glowing. And to me that's what makes good content. It's not just your awesome sewing skills. And I don't watch your channel to see what color your clothes are. I watch your channel because I can see that inside. You are a beautiful person and it's totally shiny through no matter what garment you're making because I can tell you love what you're doing. You're obviously very passionate about it and it shows. So please never let anyone stay in a comment that they don't like this or they don't like that and then you stop doing it because of what someone else says. Never do that please ❤ Always remember " To Thine Self Be True".0 if you keep being yourself, you're going to continue to keep going further and further..

Fascinating to watch your hand-stitching: I have made many garments by hand, and it interests me to see that you take your stitches largely away from yourself. When I am hand-stitching, I nearly always stitch from right to left, taking stitches more or less parallel to the edge of the work table at which I'm seated. No right or wrong way, just different, and like I said, fascinating. Would that all the stitchers I have worked with produced work as neatly efficient as yours!

The dropped shoulder gives it such a unique look, so different from the puffy-sleeved shirts of later years. And what magic to see a garment made in exact historical practice but with a gothic vampiric twist

Danny - if you're seeing this, amazing editing. LOVED IT. Bernadette was educational and hilarious as always, but you made it even better. Also, yay for piggy footage!!!! A couple years back we got to see a bunch of halloween costumes modeled. I wonder if the piggies would ever get dolled up for the METgala? Just a thought, great to see them regardless.

Your comments about working with black fabric remind me of the Elizabeth Gaskell novel Mary Barton where she described seamstresses going blind making mourning wear. I will never tire of watching you sew, even if you were to only ever to make black clothing - please continue gothing to your heart’s content.

I suspect it the reason black was not more common in the period was the hassle it is to achieve with natural dyes.

I made one of these out of one of my mum’s bed sheets in the 80s, I wanted to look like Adam Ant 😂 I also sewed on an ancient treadle pedal Singer, that was my mum’s machine that she got at a boot sale for £2 (1970s) and she doesn’t have it now. I’d love to have it, it was a great machine, but crazy heavy

I use a light box when marking and cutting things like this. Make a diy light box by using an old window or but a small remnant piece of plexiglass. Place on cups pr small bowls, slide an under counter light strip under. This is easily stored in parts. A glass coffee table works well.

Good quality linen is indestructable and barely wrinkles. I made a jacket type shirt unlined with french seams everywhere. Black. I worn and washed it so much, I re-dyed it 4 TIMES to refresh the black color. I can't fit in it today but kept it as 'souvenir' of slimmer times. The linen is still very fine. I could give it away in my testament.

I love all the black clothes you make! It's the color I usually wear and buy the most and I tend to finish black projects more often than their colorful counterparts. Watching you and seeing what issues I may run into when making something so dark helps me mentally prepare for it and also gives me an idea of what to keep in mind for similar projects in the future. As long as you love what you are doing I love watching you do it! 💜

As soon as I saw the burrito, i asked myself how you'd managed not to fall off the bed. Clearly that was the clever editing on Danny's part 😂😂 (I also love your duvet cover, very pretty!) I made a similar shirt for my college course, though not at all historically. But I'd never heard of the shoulder reinforcements, so that was very interesting to learn!
@Tuilelen Жыл бұрын
I enjoy watching these simpler projects because what I get stuck on in my own projects are the weird little details like the direction of felling when it comes to 3-way intersections with a loop, like arm gussets. And you get into the nitty gritty of it in an entertaining way, so it's really helpful and captivating!

After I watched the Pirate Shirt video, I knew I simply had to make one for my husband. I was able to use the pattern provided, with one of my husband's modern dress shirts as a reference for measurements, but the tutorial felt a little incomplete, so I did some research and learned about the neck gussets, shoulder straps, and armscythe lining. I used an old cotton sheet for fabric, and though I used a sewing machine for the bulk of it, I did most of the finishing by hand. Something about inserting the underarm gusset was SO satisfying! And I decided to sew the buttonholes by hand for the first time, because I hate doing them by machine. That was SO satisfying, too! I am never going back! So I finished the shirt and gave it to my husband, and he loved it! Unfortunately the thick cotton was too hot for him to wear in the summer, so I need to make him another one in a light linen. I enjoyed this tutorial and appreciate the upgrades to the pattern! The black looks cool and very goth. 😁

I love this video so much! I would suggest as an addendum video a discussion of how to alter this shirt for different periods. Also, for us utter tyros, a sort of pregame analysis of the pattern discussing the order of attack, i.e., highlight in red on the pattern that the right edge of piece C will be sewn to the top edge of piece A, etc.

gorgeous, now I'll have to make one of my own! it's really exciting to be developing a better sense of garment construction through your channel and others (and my own very slight practical experience) to have realized a split second before you said so that the long shoulder piece would have been folded over and felled to enclose the raw edges of the sleeve seam. hurrah for learning! :)
