Yeah... unless you are Spanish/ Portuguese and know about traditional wear. They've been wearing black on black from before Roman conquest (as the Romans left written).

Your English is pretty good my friend 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 Please take a moment and checkout my mystical dance funny joyful luxurious Channel 🥰🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Your English is perfect 👍🏼

I was able to understand you perfectly

My thoughts as well!!

I use my bed as a pincushion, that way I get nice little surprises at night

I'm too bad at math to work without one lol

They are importent

Pockets in walking skirts are historically accurate

I personally don't like pockets. Everyone's different.

@@anonymoussource8334 at least there are purses/bags :) and then you don't have to sew in pockets, so it's easier.

Why do girl targeted thing never get pockets though???

You’d miss your rights and be back soon! Rose tinted glasses are a bit dangerous… But the clothes were lovely! *sigh*

Exactly what I was thinking! Light coloured pants tucked into your socks for that sort of walk. No, it doesn't look beautiful like this skirt, but it avoids Lyme disease. Ugh, I hate ticks.🥵

To be fair, most women historically would have been wearing very long socks or hosiery of some kind covering their legs under their skirts, along with bloomers/split drawers and/or petticoats. I’ve hiked in long skirts and came back w less ticks than everyone else cuz of long over the knee socks and bloomers. Those who wore shorts or forgot to tuck risked the dreaded Lyme and had to be -deloused- deticked! So barring knowing what’s going on under there, we can’t know her risk level. But Lyme always deserves a PSA! Cheers

Haha, no not this far. I'm better at hiding ;)

This is so helpful! I have been wondering how to change the pattern of a cute dress I am making for my daughter. I want to keep a nice full hem, so making a simple skirt (rectangle with gathering at the top) wouldn't work. But this just might!😊

The waistband is straight, I find it doesnt matter if its narrow, and this is how it looks in magasine patterns I've found. I did curve the front panel because its longer. But in the fabric I used you get away with not doing that. I made a gatherd back by adding 20ish cm to the back panel. Hope this helped some, I'm planning on making a "summer" skirt as well!

The ONLY sure way to avoid stepping on a long skirt is to use a good petticoat, I find the ones that are frilly on the bottom works best. I try to make the skirt go down to my ankle. Without shoes that is about 5cm/ 2" of the ground. But if you take away another inch it's more of a "working skirt" and still historically accurate, if thats what you're going for. The hem can be made out of as little as 2 cm or 50cm so that part is up to you. :) Hope this helps!

@@NoMoreSilkTwist It DOES help! Thank you very much! 💜💜

This is a feltet boiled wool ment for garment-making. It's 1,5m wide. I know it's not advised to use it for structured coats or just for coats in general because it does stretch. It's similar to the traditional fabric used by farmers called vadmel/frieze(?) If you wash and steam before sewing it will help on the shrinking, but mine ended up widening by 10cm in the top while working on it, I'd recommend sewing along the top to avoid that earlier on. It was left to hang, but didn't change, and worn with an underskirt.🙂

@@NoMoreSilkTwist Thank you for answering my questions! I will use your recommendation when I sew my skirt!

There is also a gertie charm pattern that I think you can use felted wool on, I think it’s called the stanwyck skirt

Hi, thank you for asking! When I made this tutorial I didn't think people would watch it, and I explained the steps to recreate it badly, since I like these skirts I'm hoping to make a better one. Now for the ask: My fabric is W:145cm and L:200cm, keep in mind my waist measures 75cm. The hem of each panel was curved by measuring 100cm(my desired skirt lengt) from the top. My intended with of the back panel was 19cm, I added an extra 20cm when cutting to create a fan tail. It was all gathered down again to 19cm. Because of my choice of fabric it stretched an extra 10cm at the waist, but wool is forgiving and it doesn't show in the finished skirt.

Simple: I don't! That's a terrible answer, sorry. But the with is just whatever's left of the fabric. But I've placed the panels next to each other so that I have more narrow panels to the front. I put the front panels on the smaller piece, then back panels on the larger piece of fabric. This skirt is a pieced 3/4' circle skirt. For some reason people like this video, but no one understands it, so yeah updated version in progress.

@@NoMoreSilkTwist the video is full of a lot of information! And it's pretty clear throughout. But it turns out being crafty contains *lots* lot little things and that adds up to a ton of info. 😂 Thank you so much for your reply. 💜

It's a sewing gauge or seam-O-metre :)

I'd recomend linnen, but then you'll need to do something with the raw edges! I didn't need to with this one becase felted wool dont fray

Thank you!

Basicly its a fancy ruler. It's called a sewing gauge or "semometer", I got mine at my local fabric shop, I would recommend searching for it online as I have not seen many people use it outside my own country.

@M Shrade It is a quite common tool in Scandinavian countries, being basically called a Seam-o-mater (and metric). I looked for it in England, but they had no idea what it was. So I eventually found a US (inch based) version called “Seams Right”. But using stiff cardboard or platic, you can mark out the measurements you use most and make one yourself.

I love that tool, so handy! I just had to come here to tell that in Finland we call it "mittaliisa" and in english it translates something like "measuring alice" 😄

@@pienivihreamies96 oh, sweet! I'm going to remember that one. I'm an Alice! 😂

In the updated tutorial I use linen. The type of fabric doesn't really matter, but you need to surge or fell the seam allowances. With felted wool you don't have to worry about that.

In two weeks time I'll have an actual tutorial up, this video is not fit for that...

You will have to test it first. If you have a scrap you run it through the washing process and see how it turnes out.

The one I wear in the 'finished look' I've made a tutorial on :)

For the roll up hem I chose the smallest number I thought I could get away with. The width of the bottom of the skirt is determined by the fabric. I made a new tutorial for this skirt which is easier to understand, so I recommend that you follow that instead :)

It's a felted wool.

The template is based on my measurements, my waist is 75cm you need to add your own values. Try to divide your waist measurement by 8. Side panels are 1/8 of your waist. Front and back are 2/8. If you want more fabric in the back like I did make the back panel 4/8. Hope this isn't even more confusing! The video is not a good tutorial 😅

@@NoMoreSilkTwist I was watching this (and your other video) and I was trying to work out where the extra material to pleat at the back comes from if I was just dividing my waist measurement by 8. But this comment makes sense now! So if my measurement was 80cm (so it's easy to work out!), I would have Front panel: 20; Front side 10, Back side 10, Back Panel 40, Back side 10, Front Side 10 ? (total of 100cm, .so 20cm of pleating)

That's a lot of numbers, but it sounds correct 😅

@@NoMoreSilkTwist It worked beautifully! Thank you so much for the video and confirming how the measurements for the panels worked! :)
