Making an 1890s Ensemble : Project Vlog
So once again I have fallen into the trap of not posting until the final third of a month. It's amazing how procrastination can squash carefully thought out planning sometimes.
But anyway, I do have lots planned for the remainder of this month - starting with this massive vlog featuring two late 1890s inspired garments. This project is the first in a little series of things I'm making to pair with hats and outer garments i've been contracted to make into patterns.
This probably isn't the best use of my time given the things I want to make this holiday season...but it was one of the less ambitious designs on my to-make list and seemed like a good place to start.
I'll go more in depth about my holiday plans and those other designs in an upcoming video, and in the mean time - here is 50 minutes of me making a skirt and blouse. I feel like this could have been shorter, but I'm so out of practice when it comes to vlogging that I rambled a lot!
I hope you enjoy & thanks so much for the support :)

Love the detailed way you broke this down!!!!
Can you leave the name of the place that you got the interfacing for the waistband I couldn’t find it thank you love it
It was from the website biasbespoke! They have an etsy store too :)
Another tape recommendation. Book tape! I use it at work all the time. It really doesn’t degrade for years and years.
Sewing table tape recommendation: gaffers tape! Ive found that it lasts longer than duck tape and is nicer to work on top of.
Sorry that this has nothing to do with the video, but is that video on your shoe collection still going to happen? I don't mind waiting for it, but I do hope it is happening. No rush though- I thoroughly enjoy all your content :D
I loved watching this! Thank you for such a great,
Those greens do really complement one another on camera despite the difference in hue! So fun to watch and thanks for the health update. I recently changed my meds, started walking a lot more and am also feeling much better. Knock on wood for all of us struggling!
Nearly an hour of sewing goodness! It was great seeing this from sketch to the (almost finished) result, including your research and references. IMHO, your commitment to paying attention to the details really pays off. Apart from the small areas for improvement you mentioned, this absolutely looks like a well tailored and detailed outfit! I’m happy to hear your medication seems to work, fingers crossed it keeps you on a happy streak.
A nice loooooong sewing video was exactly what I needed today!! I love that shirtwaist a lot, I would make twelve and wear them all the time.
Such a cool ensemble! Bold choice of fabric and color combination once again, I love this lovely and whimsical take on it, as usual. The seen on that skirt is especially lovely.
congrats on your mental health improvement
Love seeing the progression from drawings to finished product! I wish I could draw that well :)
Happy time for us! Again another video with gorgeous content. Can't wait to see it paired up with the coat
This is great. I am hoping to try an make some 1890s garments for myself soon so this is very helpful
