[1] Some notes on the Old Tongue translation:
Vocabulary consulted from: wot.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_O...
Various grammar structures, word order and general usage deduced from “Al’Naito” ( / cx_m2acmn5r ) and “Mashiara” ( / cyao0drt2s6 ) song lyrics, as well as the Season 1/Episode 8 script page visible in behind-the-scenes footage (www.amazon.co.uk/Wheel-Time-S....
While an astonishing number of sewing terms are provided in the vocabulary database (actually this isn’t surprising at all, given the story’s unrelenting textile metaphors 🙌), several words needed to be compounded or extrapolated to cover terms specific to this video:
-As no record of the term “zip” seems to have survived in Old Tongue records, it is called here a “sobel’angreal” (”magical button-closure-like device surviving from the Age of Legends”).
-The felling stitch (”bhoot’zinik”) roughly translates in Common Tongue to “screw-stitch” due to the corkscrew nature of its thread path. The “-ane” past tense suffix has been added in this instance (”bhoot’zinikane”) to denote the action of fell-stitching.
-The imperial measuring system does seem to have finally been eradicated by the introduction of Old Tongue during the Age of Legends as no terminology for such units of measure seem to have been recorded; for our present imperial measuring purposes, however, I have selected to use the translation for OT “nail” (”hakhel”), as the nail unit of measure was our early modern precursor to today’s inch.
(Requisite apologies to anyone who has spent years and actual effort deciphering this language, please pardon my three-hour colossal script-writing diversion which, incidentally, turned out to be a thrilling way to spend a Saturday evening. Highly recommend.)

My face when you started speaking in a different language was unhinged. My coffee ended up all over the floor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of production that Bernadette puts into these videos. She outclasses many tv shows. Which is crazy to me considering that she is not only making the garment but also filming the entire process too!

I am a professional quilter, but my 7-year-old daughter is very interested in garment making. We love watching your channel together. I appreciate how beautiful the dresses look inside and out with your attention to detail. She is enthralled with the idea of creating princess dresses. We were very excited to watch this second installment and are off to work on a muslin for a princess dress for her. Keep inspiring little sewers!

Watching the making of the hip pads only increases my certainty that the act of taking 2-dimensional materials and making them into 3-dimensions, à la sewing, is, in fact, a form of magic.

Speaking the "old tongue" while handsewing an entire gown is DELIGHTFULLY unhinged and that is the content I 👏 am 👏 here 👏 for👏!!!

the fact that someone has the interest, the dedication, and research skill and the hard earned ability to take on this project and record it so well for our entertainment is astounding, humbling, and an absolute pleasure to observe

Just in case you missed it- using 'Angreal' for 'invisible zipper' was peak nerd humor and I'm enthused I caught it on the first try XD

I used to help my grandmother make quilts and things, and even having sewn since childhood, myself and, with having other people in my family who were quite accomplished seamstresses, it never failed to amaze me how fast my grandmother was. Despite having rheumatoid arthritis that crippled her, twisting and knarled, her hands, like branches of an ancient tree, everything she created was lovely, with even, perfect stitching. She actually would sew a stitch a tiny bit sideways once in awhile, to show that it was hand sewn, having encountered people who were completely in disbelief that she completed something so perfect in every stitch, so fast, entirely by hand. When she was little, should she sew something sloppily or without perfect care, she would be made to remove all the stitches and do it over, again, to learn to create a quality, lasting garment. She would repeat the old mantra to me, ‘A stitch in time saves nine...’

Bernadette, I literally gasped when you put the finished gown on. Utterly gorgeous and so you!

"This impulse project" that takes HOURS of planning, pattern design, and sewing by hand. Your definition of impulse and mine seem to vary a bit. 😄

Bernadette starts trying to figure out the padded hip bits - every rennie costumer who has ever done shoulder rolls knows exactly how it will end 🤣 (it's surprising how often you actually need a straight line to create a 3D curve).

i would personally like to give myself a pat on the back for correctly guessing that the hours worked totaled to around 70 so far. my estimation skills are strong but bernadette's patience is stronger

You know, I'm not sure KZfaq is worthy of this caliber of content. It's so next level. Your attention to detail and aesthetic and commitment to a project is awe inspiring. I would love to see you with a series, hour long episodes, wherein you interview historians and makers, research technique and materials and then create a garment. No doubt it would be a hit! I'm rambling, but great work. Thanks for sharing your gifts.
