October(ish) Costume Plans | Draw with me!
Hello everyone! Sorry it's been so long. It's been a rough month mentally and it's taken me a while to get everything together. But I'm doing my best and I have three videos pre filmed for the remainder of this month (a hat tutorial, fabric haul, and october update) so stay tuned!
In the mean time, here is the video I promised at the beginning of this month. Full of plans and ideas that I'd hoped to focus on over the last four weeks. Between filming this and posting this, I've actually made a couple of the mentioned projects...and have several more in progress! So it's kind of interesting to look back on the original sketches.
And on that note, I'm getting back to work on my very much unfinished halloween project. Because there is still a lot to do! And not much time to get it done!
Thanks again for your patience and I'll be back with another new video tomorrow!

I hope your depression has lifted. I’m a sufferer myself so I know it isn’t always possible to stay on track all of the time
There’s a trend at the mo in in the English horsey world not sure it might be in America too. Called concours d'elegance equine. Every time I see them I thInk of you.
I understand🌷this is a depressing country to live in. Your parents must be super proud of you!! I have been a seamstress since I was 13 years old. I have ALWAYS designed my own wardrobe☕🎀👑 I love this video ⏩🌼your designs and artistry is SO amazing!! I THINK YOU SAID YOUR HAT DESIGNS MIGHT BE PRESENTED TO MCCALL'S. I wear hats but only in winter👒I guess I will look at this video again about the hats!!! I become a patreon about a week ago👑I wanted to support with 36$ but it was sold out. I went with the 16! I have been your loyal subcriber for 2 years. Remember Angela NEVER GIVE UP KEEP GOING no matter what happens. That is my life's saying!! Cause we always do get done and out!!✂👗💟
Hi Angela, I’m so sorry to hear your mental situation worsened again. I understood you had your hopes on the new medication, but very unfortunately it doesn’t really seem to help you. Unfortunately there is little we can do, apart from supporting you here. I definitely enjoyed this video, it’s always interesting to hear and see your design ideas. There were so many great designs, but I think I liked the one you designed based on that old hat the most. Take care. Wish you all the best!
I love to watch you draw and color in your drawings!! Just beautiful. I enjoy every part of your videos!!! Gena
I love the 1920's idea. I can see it in my head and it's just stunning and oh so glamorous with that lush fabric.
Would the “Foundations Revealed” website and group be of help in your research? It seems like they share a lot of in depth knowledge.
Hey Angela! The 1720s is a particularly hard period to research because of the extant garment situation. Louis XIV died in 1715, so up until then, the fashions were basically the same as the late 17th century. The court at Versailles semi-disbanded during this period and a more relaxed form of the dress came on the scene the Robe Volante, which was a loose sacque style gown.... you probably know all this already... but that garment was easily converted into the later styles of the 18th century so very, very few of them exist
Here is the example from the Met: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/155093 And a really great article about the Palais Galleria : https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/robe-volante-first-comfortable-dress-france-sells-150000-180960089/http://www.palaisgalliera.paris.fr/fr/oeuvre/robe-volante-vers-1730
Love this!! You are such an inspiration and so talented! Depression is rough, (the last few weeks have also been really terrible for me), and it may seem silly, but knowing that someone I look up to so much that's accomplished what you have has dealt with it too really helps me out sometimes.
Take care of yourself!! Also, I love your drawings. Do you have any sketching tips? I'm trying to work on my design skills but turns out my sketching skills are definitely lacking LOL
I honestly think you are an amazing seamstress, a very gifted designer and a very talented artist. Anything you make is just amazing! Like you, I also suffer from depression and it just takes the spirit away on bad days. I used to sew a lot but the last say 15 years I just haven't had the spirit to sew much. I wish I did and sometimes I start something and then I am unable to finish the project due to lack of energy or spirit. So I totally understand how it feels. I do hope that my remark of the white thread on the dark fabric didn't start your sadness. I liked that you did that 😊 the OCD is strong in this one (me) and it actually enjoys me to see other people are making different choices than I do.
Just take care of yourself and wait it out. <3
i hope your feeling better, i was getting worried.
I don’t wanted to minimize what your struggles are, but from where I sit I see a pretty successful self employed person working in a very new field (content creator) as well as an artist. Your work ethic is quite apparent and to be honest is better than a lot of other Patreon creators that take many months to fulfill obligations. I hope you are proud of what you have accomplished, because you should be 👍
