1950's Skirts : Mockup Mayhem (+question request)

For the Q&A : you received several sewing things from " a great aunt " (sewing books earlier and the buttons and bias tape more recently) is it always the same great aunt ? Was she a professionnal or really enthusiastic home seamstress ?

Can you do an updated sewing room tour now that you've moved into your bigger space? Also, what are your tips for maintaining motivation when working on extensive but relatively uninteresting tasks, like hemming petticoats and felling down boning channels?

Have you seen the Favorite yet? How did you feel about the lace cutout work in the costuming? It was heavily themed into the traditional (i believe accurate) costuming in a way that seemed passable but was definitely a more modern idea. I loved and hated it. Opinions?

For the Q&A- Have you considered/looked into the process of outsourcing the lion’s share of your video editing?

Would you ever consider doing a video of a men’s historical costume? I’d love to see how your creativity would approach that!

What do you do with all your mockups? Do you reuse mockup fabric? Keep them? Toss them?

Do you ever get project letdown? I've noticed for myself that projects that I have been dreaming about for a long time, even if i'm really happy with how they turn out, I have this kind of let down because I don't get to dream about it and look forward to making it anymore!

Not sure if you've been asked this before, but what do you do with all your mockups? Do they get stored for later or immediately thrown away/recycled?

I've noticed how you sometimes say you've finished and shipped some pieces, and I was wondering if you're talking about commissions or is it just for friends/special cases? Would you someday want to sell your creations? Also, as a follow-up question, what do you do with all your finished costumes that are (sadly) not socially acceptable for everyday wear?

After being out for a week, a found the surprise of many many Angela videos. How’s that for an early Christmas present? Do you often wear your vintage clothing and do you get compliments or remarks? Do you have specific plans for your career as a next step?

You mentioned before about not “promoting” (not sure that’s right word) Simplicity patterns. Are you able to now? And how come you couldn’t before and could for McCalls?

Have you played a videogame recently? If not, what was the last one? (Not including the one that paid you to make that beautiful coat!) ... In that particular game's world, how well do you think you'd survive? And what skills do you have that would allow you to live in that world indefinitely?

On the subject of musicals: Which are your favourite musical costumes (Theatre and movie versions)? And which are the grossest and most uninspirational costumes? If you don't watch watch, which are the best and grossest musical songs?

For a Q&A: What do you do with your historical costumes after you have finished and photographed them? Do you ever get to wear them?

I could watch you talk and sew about just about anything. Especially wearable clothes, even if they are simple. I'd love to hear you talk about fabric preferences through the 20th century, you talk about prints and date them very effectively, I'd love to hear more about balancing historical prints with contemporary wardrobes for wearable vintage. Also just how you know which decade is which. Have you ever considered 'wardrobe planning' for your wearable clothes? I love when you do detailed drawings of your costumes, I would really enjoy watching you do a 'vintage capsule wardrobe' of pieces that go together well. It can be hard to fit even simple pieces together in a coherent way. I'd also enjoy if you did skirts like this and used slightly different finishing techniques on each and compared them aloud. Or perhaps '1 skirt style, 3 ways' using different fabrics or decorative elements like buttons or patch pockets.

Do you have any tips on how to cut the fabric as close to the pattern as possible? You seem to cut so fast, but I often struggle with the scissors not working with me which means I have quite a lot of cleaning up to do.

Love love love skirts, I would so wear all of those patterns. Of course you look great in everything anyway✂️✂️. Is your sewing room large? How big is your house?

Have you ever been to costume college on the west coast, if not would you go?

Can you tell us more about your dogs? Id love to hear how you came to own Gwen!

Adding to my last question: how do you feel about inaccurate costuming on historical shows? I remember personally hating "Reign" because of the VERY modern take on the costuming. Where do you fall on this debate?

I want the Angela tv playlist! Whats you top 5 "historical" shows, top 5 "historical" movies, and whats your top 5 musicals? You've mentioned a lot in previous videos and I want to know what your "best of the best" are!

In previous videos, you mentioned having a brother. Is he older or younger than you? Is he living at home, or is he in school?

Hm. I really like the pink mockup. But my question is, would you consider doing a collab? Maybe with Morgan Donner, or even Karolina Zebrowska?

Would you consider wearing a more favored (designor astesticlypleasing) period of fashon day to day? You like 1600's ans 1800's stuff as i recal.lOr would you adapt design elements you like into or modern or 1900 plus fashions?

Would you be offended if i used your videos to recreate my favorate vintage patterns? i love the edwardian skirt and want one very very much. I make *costume* patterns into ordanary clothes. I have 2 or 3 of yours which i plan to make into party dresses. And i might make a wedding dress out of your latest ( the dress and cloak pattern)

When you wear vintage skirts like this in your day to day life, would you wear them with a petticoat? How do you compromise on historical silhouettes when making more modern-wearable pieces?
