If you sew your crotch seam a little lower, you won't get those weird curves from the pleats. I'd probably drop it about 2" down the inner leg seam.

The paint looks amazing!! You did such a good job with this cosplay, as always ❤

YOU are so cool this is awesome and I really appreciate you!!!!!!!!! I've been wanting to start this for a few years but it's so scary.

Brilliant!! Thank you so much for all this information in ONE place!! I have been wanting to try DT and Procyon and you have given me the confidence to try them. Right to the Point with the all the needed info - short and sweet!!

Well you're a heckuva lot of fun. Glad I found this channel. Next time you mess with bleach, you can help prevent some of the behind the scenes damage, by rinsing out the bleach, then dunking it in a bucket of fresh water mixed with a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide; soak it in the peroxide water bath for ~ 15 minutes then rinse and wash.

I am two years late to this video (at least), but what I think you can do with the stay straps at the back as an alternative is feed the strap down through the stay guard on the same side as the strap and *then* cross them over. That’s what I do with this type of strap that I put on my regency short stays. I can still cross them above the stay guards, much like yours are in this video, or do them the other way and I wonder if women of the era did this exact thing too, depending on the dress/style/outfit they wore?

Petition to have a 17th century themed ball, Idc the location I will find away to afford the flights 😂

nice vid. the "top line, gathering" part is a bit confusing. But I think I figured it out. Thanks.

Haven't seen the Barbie movie (don't watch movies anymore) but this is a fun and interesting video. I always learn something new from your channel! Always, thanks for the Fashion Fabrics link: I like the cotton batiste fabric that's available and I'm going to order some. 🧡💙 Glad you're enjoying the table!!

Thanks for a good laugh today, I'm having a bit of a hard time today and I needed something to help and you did, the dress is lovely and we all need silly aprons. ❤

Big hello for the algorithm.

Loving the green 'gator skin gaiters!

How fun! I also felt weird Barbie was the embodiment of my soul, lol. She was so absolutely hilarious in that movie. I really loved the solution you came up with for the painted pinafore so you could keep wearing the main pink dress!

Bring back the Gaiter!

Comment for alg! This was a lot of fun to watch!

"If it looks awkward, you did it right." is the most real statement about invisible zippers. 🤣

What does the dye "exhausts" mean?

This may be my favorite project of all the ones you've done! <3 <3 <3

I keep all the mending projects in my closet. I put a piece of the painters tape on top of a hanger with a note what needs to be fixed but I keep it there cardigan with unraveled seam in between all the other cardigans, skirt that needs button sewn on in between other skirts. I also have one small tote bag hanging on the side for socks etc. When it gets overflowing it kind of takes space and is annoying, and that annoyance helps me find inspiration ;). Having those items on display and wanting to incorporate them into outfits kind of pisses me off after a while and it forces me to mend it. When I had a mending pile it was left untouched for 3 years, lol.

LOL "Your yabos will thank you" ... I bet they also thanked you for the FBA? Mine aren't precisely full, but they wrap around under my armpits so adding an armpit gusset fixes nearly everything for me... Great call on Gaiters, what a great solution when you need something on your legs that you don't wanna pay for and are only gonna wear a couple times. I adore WhatTheForecast. Holy gods I'm happy I live where the air hurts my face half the year. 80f as the nightly low? that's my daily highs for next week (this week's been unseasonably cold, I've had to wear SOCKS and a JACKET). I love how people just freak out about knits. I started most of my sewing on what I'm told was the worst possible one, stretch velvet, and it wasn't as bad as all that! Hell, this summer's project was frigging swimsuits, and I did not have problems because of the fabric, I had problems because all my sewing machines capable of doing stretch stitches were being butts, so I had to grab one that would do zigzag (tagged in the 1960's Universal when the 1980's Singer decided to resume its decades old tantrum about tension and the two Kenmores clutched their pearls and claimed something about timing). She's a good old girl but complains about sewing through elastic.And sometimes tension gets wonky in the middle of a seam. But hey, we made do, and I've got a shoulders-too-wide wearable mockup of my favourite swimsuit and my husband has a wearable mockup AND a final product based on comfy briefs cause he hates swim trunks. Yay for the weird! I think if someone forced me to cosplay a barbie, it'd be Weird Barbie...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

aha! thanks for explaining the table 😂. I'm glad you were able to buy a table, finally, and can stop crawling around the floor😅 yup,it's definitely weird!! on camera, you really can't see a difference between the fabrics.

started out in english medieval costume of around the 11th century inspired by the bayeux tapestry. super easy and almost every pattern piece is basic rectangles and triangles and you end up with some very comfortable colourful clothes that you can wear around the house. doing chores and mowing the lawn is 10x more fun when wearing a tunic, braies, and linen cap

Serious dress envy 😍 it's so beautiful

this is so awesome thanks for posting I'm going to watch and rewatch this until it's muscle memory lmao...

😅 I think I love you

I'm starting with the 1890s, mainly because of Bernadette, but I do have a _lot_ of previous sewing experience. I'm also extremely lucky to have been able to draft an 1890s corset and have it fit me first try, so we'll see how that goes.

Video Idea : Can you do a tier list for Disney Princesses on Historical Accuracy? While some like Elsa, Jasmine can be Historically mess, but there are some who were actually really accurate and fabulous, like Cinderella, Mulan, and Tiana!

“You gotta do it wrong to do it right” my new life motto ❤. Also loving that lion king shirt.

Thank you for making such a comprehensive, easy to follow resource!!

I love the purple top you are wearing. Hand knit? Pattern?

Lol same ironing board...
