Thanks for the great video and the good tips throughout. I have many leftovers wool pieces from making trousers which I will use up on caps.

As a beginner I am wonder8ng if a grosgrain ribbon would be considered a stay tap? The pattern mentioned. It that from the book you spoke of or did I miss a link to an actual pattern? Thank you for walking through your process.

honestly love clothing from this time period, I just like the general silhouette, though sadly this amount of layering is not very practicable in the Southern US heat I live in cept maybe in winter Also, major facial hair goals

I think it really depends on how you make it. Layering throughout the old world was standard...even in hot places like Spain and Italy. For example, in warm moist climates, you often see more linen used in the undergarments like shirts and shifts. The increased volume has two effects, it allows more airspace under the outer layers to maintain a cooler interior as well as increases the amount of fabric against the skin to absorb perspiration. In early America, it is interesting to see that English colonists made a significant effort to modify their clothing for the heat and humidity when they came to Virginia. In contrast, there is little evidence that Spaniards changed anything when they came to Florida during the same period. Personally, I have lived in the AZ desert as well as here in Virginia and I can speak from experience, the humidity changes everything. In AZ I was able to wear quite normal layering for Spanish clothing of the early 1600s but in Virginia those same outfits are much more uncomfortable. Once I sweat through a shirt though, as long as I keep moving, a breeze comes through the outer wool layers cools me down inside the clothing. The worst fabrics to wear in humid, hot weather are silk and cotton. Wool, especially if it is plushy but porous is best...with the linen beneath, it acts a little bit like an air conditioner. The linen wicks the moisture from the body and the wool, being a protein fiber, doesn't want to hold onto the moisture. If the fabric is porous enough, the air just evaporates the sweat. I have even had a couple of occasions where I've gotten cold wearing a wool suit over linens in hot weather. Rare, but it has happened. It is counterintuitive to our modern way of thinking about comfort but It is so much worse to remove layers and expose more of your skin to the sun and ambient temperature. I have been known to put another layer on when it is too hot, just to put more distance between my body and the local weather. Records show that temperatures on the rise...but also records can show that similar temperatures were present in history -- so I search for history's answers to climate and dress. Knowing what they did in the past is how I choose my solutions for today. If I think like a modern person, I tend to get it all wrong.

Just found your site and was intrigued as to what you would say. I loved embroidery as a girl and when I left school (aged 15) I went into a tailoring factory in Leeds, Yorkshire, where I was taught hand sewing. However, sewing velour coats was a filthy trade imo and I left for an office job - when I spent 50 years doing. Once I retired I began teaching quilting (by machine) and loved it but it got too heavy for me to lift and manouver. I then moved on to English Paper Piecing and Slow stitching which suits my age better lol. Also I found a place to buy quilter's needles, which are wonderful slithers of metal which sew like lightening. Sorry to burble on but I thought someone may be interested.

Would it help your speed if you worked with a longer tail and a bit shorter working thread so the time to pull through would be faster? You'd use the same length thread, just have more tail through the eye.

Awesome work. TU. Top stitching these flat caps is near impossible. I've been staring at my flat cap few days daring myself to start the top stitch using double needle which means no room for screwups since other side is zigzag.

I'm sorry but this isn't a tutorial someone can follow. Like there isn't instructions on how deep the slit is or how to calculate a neck opening, or like anything useful. Im 3 minutes in and have no idea what you are doing
@themodernmakermathewgnagy2153 ай бұрын
I'm sorry you're having issues following the video. If you're new to what I do, I might recommend watching some of the other tutorials for more clarity. All my patterns are given as proportions of different measurements from your own body. These divisions are based on the Bara system of measure and cutting which comes from an earlier century. It is how I deliver all of my patterns because people can calculate the exact measurements for their bodies without having to do too much customizing. The measurement of the slit IS in fact given at 2:54, if you pause the video and look at the diagram, you will see that it is given as a proportion of the chest measure. 1/48 of the chest times 10. The center front of the shirt is along the fold, which is the upper edge of the diagram. All of the measurements are given as proportions based on the chest for the widths and the upper body depths. The overall lengths are given as proportions of the height of the individual, making the pattern scalable for whatever size you're trying to make.

I am making clothes by hand this year (modern styles including knit fabrics) though also including a wrapping gown with box lining. I love it and it is my current dressing gown. It is great to watch your technique, as I am self taught. I have been using running stitch, running back stitch, French and flat fell seams and herringbone stitch. Sometimes I do a running stitch then do the same in the opposite direction in the gaps between stitches 12:53 which creates a continuous seam. I am not sure if this is a bad thing to do, but it seems to work well!!

I've subscribed and I can't wait to binge a bunch of your content. I've been stitching by hand since childhood, but speed and efficiency were never emphasized as I believe my grandmother and mother had me hand sewing to keep me out of their hair! I also never learned to use a thimble, but now I'm determined to teach my hands this new habit as I'm tired of poking myself and having rough, calloused fingers! Thanks again for your excellent content.
