When I was growing up, we always wore these. Handmade by my beloved mother. We called them brunch coats.

That'd be really cute to lengthen the top pieces into full length for a wrapper/house dress/tea gown.

Wearing one sleeve is genius! I've set the opposite sleeve so many times -_-

I prefer to use a glue stick to glue the paper pattern pieces together as it secures both sides of the paper, no flapping! Also allows for a bit of wiggle room if you misalign things the first try.

I love the way you had the diagonal stripes at the front. When you showed the “lapels” I couldn’t help but giggle with you. Great video once again and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

Anne Shirley and puffed sleeves!

the music is a bit too loud when you speak at some parts of the video. Like the rest and the description

I am going to use your "wear the wrong sleeve" method in future, such a common sense approach. Thank you Birdy

‼️ just had to react to this since I’ve been wandering around looking for tutorials on house dresses and such. Now to watch the video. 😂

Great tutorial! Your construction steps made total sense to me, efficient or not. Lastly, that jacket looks fabulous on you!

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only one that wore the other sleeve! With ADD and Dyslexia sleeves were always an issue for me. My mom asked me what I was doing one time and I said "Not taking any chances of screwing up!" You think you have the correct sleeve, yeah. Thank you!

How timely. I’m making an 1894 tea gown right now (video on my channel coming soon). I look forward to watching this!

We must bring back morning jackets ✌️

That's really nice! I might have to get that pattern; loosely-fitting things are looking better and better these days ...

What really delightful results! I think the long version in a fine lightweight wool would be a beautiful robe

Lovely. Was great to watch you put this together. Especially the pleats at the back. That weird sack back thing that they do in that era it is sooo confusing to me! Nice to see someone actually put it together. ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely video! I so enjoyed your fabric and the additions you made to the collar and cuffs. You having tea with Oliver at the end was charming

This is just stunning! I especially love the poofy shoulders and the back and also the ruffely bits 😍😍😍

I think you are a born teacher as well as a fab historic seamstress. I’m new to this type of sewing, you snakes down several questions I had regarding many issues. 💋

Littles and critters do make it challenging. They also tend to soak up any editing time, I will post a video one of these days? Until then, I will just keep filming everything.

I always wanted a white nightgown like the maid Marian in Robin Hood with the Kevin Costner in it!

I love this! It’s so good! I actually began making an 1897 Tea Gown in August and it’s still not finished! Maybe your video will be the inspiration I need to get it finished!

Surprise waistcoat variant! Nice! And it looks so comfy in the end!

I love it!!!! I hope you share the longer version when you make. Looks amazing! !!

Beautiful. You did a fantastic job!

I really like the way you describe your thought process and the ways you adjust your process as needed

This was AWESOME! It was so helpful to hear you talk through all the alterations you made!!

Those sleeves are lovely! I like the way the fabric lies.

Thank you for sharing your process. I love it, the colour the style and the drape at the back. Simply beautiful xx

16 mins and 40 secs in - "I just realized that I never put a disclaimer in here, which is that I don't really know what I'm doing!" 😂🤣😂🤣 that made me laugh a lot...regardless, this turned out lovely, and I enjoyed watching it come together! Thanks for sharing!

I was so excited to see this because I recently picked up this pattern as well, but still had not decided on fabric. So glad to see your process before tackling it myself. The longer version is a great idea

oh man that is such a useful tip, to WEAR the sleeve you're not supposed to be sewing on! i get so paranoid about this approximately 400 times when setting sleeves in. also, glad to see im not the only one whose cat-assistants love getting in the way just when you've got the fabric laying how you want it!

When my kids were babies, I pretty much didn't sew. Knitting was usually ok, but I could only sew when my partner was home to help wrangle.

It's adorable ! And your kitty is even more adorable, if that's at all possible.

Beautiful! Looks amazing on you! Yay! 💕👏🏼

I love this!

Fabulous! That looks really comfortable. And love to the cute helpers.

Stunning

I love your inspirational mug!

Beautiful!

❤️it make long one too

14:57 Old Sturbridge Village once made a collection of historical fabrics?! That's amazing! I'm going to have to see if I can find any bolts available online. For anyone who doesn't know: Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts rescues historic New England buildings from up through the 1830's and relocates them to the historic village they've built to preserve the buildings as one huge living history site. It's very much like Colonial Williamsburg, except none of the buildings originated at that site! It's one of the coolest historical sites I've ever seen, and I highly encourage checking it out if you've never been. There's also a historic clock museum in the visitor's center that was super cool!

It's so cute!!!

I Love love love this! The pattern makes it so extra delightful.

Cozy and sweet 🥰

Just loved the result, thank you for sharing.

This was a lovely video, and very helpful too! I’m going to be elongating this pattern soon and attempting to make a tea gown, so it was great to see how you did it :)

I love this video, super easy to follow your process!

Such beautiful work! I love following your sewing adventures :)

Thank you!

That would make an amazing robe.

Oh my god! I JUST bought this pattern and was like "WTF?" Lol! I don't even know where to start! I decided, I am actually going to SPLICE this pattern with a 1960's vintage robe pattern (that's my size) and I'm hoping to make it a cute/fierce babydoll-like-mini-trapeze dress...eeee! Thank you for sharing your experience and process with this pattern! Even though you don't think it's helpful...IT IS!

It looks super cozy, and the back pleat is💓💓💓 a full length version will be awesome, I'm sure.

Can I just say how nice it is to see someone with the same body type as me ('fleshy' as my patternmaking textbook calls it) sewing things? I love Angela Clayton and Bernadette Banner but their bodies are simply not the same as mine, and sometimes it feels a little like I'm in high school again, looking up to women with bodies 'better' than mine.

Lovely as usual :)

looks great! Not even foiled by the dreaded buttonhole setting debacle!

You are amazing at what you do, I am inspired. Thank you

in my headphones the music is perfectly leveled, and love your videos

Absolutely gorgeous! 😍 now I must have one ❤

Thanks for the video and link. I might need to order some patterns x)

Just got news that my mom and I’s fabric order was CANCELLED! So I am now having fabric envy 😍

Very informative and really useful in terms of pattern cutting and fitting. These patterns are clearly just a very loose guide and the rest needs to be worked out for oneself. Thank you for this, I found it inspirational to bump my own efforts along towards tackling a first corset (trying to to scream a little bit at this point Lol!) Oliver is a gorgeous and loving little cat, I have a Border Collie who insists on shoving his head in my lap at the most awkward moments, I couldn’t do without him though.

I just found your channel, this is the first video I've seen and I'm subscribing. You are so positive about the "fiddling" part of the process. I still can't pin a hem and get it straight yet--I have no patience. Maybe you're attitude will wear off on me!

so nice to watch your process! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I found you through @redthreaded ? sorry...can't go back will re reply!

I love it. I wanna make one! ❣ Does it matter what kinda fabric their made in? Is velvet hard to work with? (I'm a complete amature) but I imagine doing a deep purple velvet jacket... tho that would probably be hot in Texas Lol and question is is velvet e..spensive... I shall see but idk what fabrics can use. Love your channel, your work, and dresses! I'm inspired. Working on my historical wardrobe

LOVE Liza! I have a long haired grey, named Mooshie! Great vid. Agree though, background music is too far in foreground.

Great info! Thank you! The music, while fun, overpowered your voice in the cutting portions.

Ah I see your Assistant also likes to stick it's nose right into dangerous things....

What is the fabric that you use for mockups?

This is lovely but I don't get the need for the giant pleat in the back! Especially on a short version.

I looked up ‘brunch coat’ on Google Images and realised that the modern version is a ‘house coat’ I have about 5 and wear them all the time at home. (Cats are all secret seamstresses)

lovely. i have red thread if you need. 🤓

i like your process, but i found the piano music competing a bit with your communication of instructions.

You have so much patience. (and so much tape) I mean never say never but I think digital patterns are not for me. Is your kitty named after Lizzie in Pride and Prejudice? I have the same reaction to the printer. You have a petticoat that looks like the Summer 2019 Gucci skirt that has five ruffled layers and costs 4500$ ….

Can't hear whatyou re saying the piano music is to loud😔

I loved your video , but the music is intuitive. It's to repetitive, jingly and loud , sorry . I think it was brave of you to make your morning coat . I'm from New Zealand and also remember the name brunch coat , also house coat .Beautiful kitty 😻Xx

No music please....it's over whelming.

I was so intrigued, but couldn’t watch; the music was too loud, I couldn’t hear you. 😩

Had to stop watching. The music was too loud and and I couldn't hear what you were saying. Would have like to see it through to the end but just couldn't.
