Behind the Scenes bits #1 + Hat vlog!
Today I have two behind the scenes videos to share. These were filmed back in February and March when I was working on the first three Sewing through the Decades projects.
(Fun fact: the first four videos in the series were edited almost entirely while marathoning the winter olympics. Which are the best olympics.)
These two videos aren't exactly what I would call quality content...I like my videos to have a little bit more structure and context. But it gave me insight on how not to film things like this in the future, and it felt like a waste to trash the footage.
So I present to you: THE HAT VLOG
I had high hopes that I could make a 1920's and 1910's hat in the same day. I could not. But I did eventually make them both! And they were both kind of successful!
Hopefully by now you've seen the first two Sewing through the Decades videos, which feature the Edwardian hat. And the 1920's early access video that shows the cloche in action.
I filmed that on the day the first three projects in this series were photographed. It's mostly hair styling footage since I was cold and stressed when we were actually photographing them...but it's a start into vlogging in costume, okay!
Hopefully I can have another photo day soon where the next three projects are photographed (I just have a stubborn 40's dress to finish first).
That is all for today! Maybe I'll attempt another one of these vlogs for patreon this week - just with a bit more continuity.
Thanks for the support ❤️

NEVER OCCURRED TO ME THAT YOU COULD JUST BUY A HAT AND MAKE A NEW ONE FROM IT. loving the 20s cloche <3
Oh my gosh I love those shoes!!
Question for all you sewers of all things 'pleated' out there....(I figured there would be more here than anywhere)...I just watched this video that used a FORK to make uniform pleats quick, fast and beautifully equal in size and shape - or so it seemed. Have any of you tried that? If it works, I'm making a pleated skirt, pleated sleeves and maybe even pleated socks. Well, maybe not the socks. LOL I hesitate to post the YT video here because I don't know if it's OK or not or something I'm not supposed to do.
Why don't you just try it out? If you don't want to do it on your good fabric use a cheap one to practice. Also, in sewing, if something goes wrong, you can always open up the seam. So be brave and just try it out. ;)
Hey ! I don't know if it's the right place to ask, but, please, could you give us more info/tutorials on how you construct your garnments and chemises and all ? I'm super interrested in that
What steamer do you use? Are you happy with it?I'm on the hunt for a good reliable one. 🤗
I mean, my first thought on the judgmental one was "sassy", but yeah, that's me, too. Those expressions are amazingly hilarious. And yes, please flower tutorial!
The ending of the behind the scenes made me laugh XD And you always look like someone (from the decade you're wearing the costume of) who traveled through time to 2018.
Jumping on that flower tutorial train 😍
This is the fourth vote for the flower tutorials
Yes yes! Flowers tutorial! Also, I became a patreon a week ago and binged all of the patreon exclusive content in two days and now I'm going through withdrawal.
I second the motion! Flower tutorial please!
I really loved the behind the scenes bits! I love doing photoshoots and really love seeing the process behind other people's shoots! I would also really love a tutorial for those little flowers! They looked so nice on the hat!!
