Looks beautiful

Ok, but my first question just by the thumbnail is : how come do you have such cool fabrics?? Between that and your cool projects I think I should stop bingewatching, I already have enough fabric and projects to do 😂

This gore adjustement is very clever, I too would not wear the only bows version and do not add clothes in my wardrobe that don't see myself wearing regularly (but I don't care if it's costumey for others 😅). Also love love the wiliam morris fabric, I've been wanting for a while a printed fabric that would have a medieval feel to it to make the lining with a peek of a huge hood and that might be just the one I need ^^

Oooh the Strawberry thief! I've got a teacup to wash away that I couldn't find any printed fabric in my area a few years ago - I got my mom a green, lilies patterned cup too 🌸🌸

It looks amazing with the gores! Makes the black bows pop even more. I used to have a skirt that worked pretty much like this: two flat panels for front and back, and then very ample pleated gores on the sides, with the panels held together by side lacing. It was a staple of my wardrobe for years and years. Definitely recommend this kind of garment.

I love the William Morris Strawberry Thief fabric, and what a great idea to use it in this way. Love the result.

Very pretty 😀

Try oven cleaner on your baked on pot. Shirt and vest looked good.

Just been given a box full of tartan fabric…..im beyond excited, then I came across your channel! 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

Hello Odessa, I was going to skip making a mock-up because I'm impatient and lazy but after watching your mock-up adjustments on your body, I was convinced I should not skip. I'm a new seamstress, so thank you for the encouragement.

Every since I started acting in an 18th century historical play (back in ‘05 😅) I’ve been in love with the style, but keep telling myself I’m not “cool” or thin enough to pull modernized versions of that style off in every day life. But I think I’m old enough now to just not care and go for it anyway. ❤

Gosh, I'm sewing a shirt+ vest combo for my friend (for LARP reasons) and I was lamenting on what if I make a reversible vest....Then I started to watch your video, so it's decided 😂

Wonderful. I tea stained a cotton shirt for my kiddo years ago when he was costuming as Shrek. It turned out perfectly off white. So much more ogre/pirate like. He makes a perfectly dandified pirate. You two will make a brilliant duo swashbuckling your way through a ren faire.

yesss! take the STEM man to the ren fair!

Lovely silk 😍 a few years ago i made a dress out of saree silk, flatlined the bodice pieces + interfaced the edges of my tiers with regular cotton so it's sturdier. Thank you for the tea staining link -- I've always just assumed it was an imperfect process with inevitably unruly results 😅 I would add maybe some kind of wristwear for him maybe -- could be something cloth that could be soaked in water for hot renfaire weather. Also maybe some head wear -- a hat, kerchief or bandana. If he wears jewelry, that could be a good addition or if he doesn't, maybe there's some metallic embellishments on his accessories?

It’s very trendy

It’s so beautiful!!! I hate the feeling of shirring on my back so I think I’ll give this a go. I’ve been loving the son de fleur dresses which yours remind me of. I don’t think it looks frumpy but you could always add a fake placket and buttons to the front for a more modern look.

All the feels...

I like the dresss, looks comfortable 😻 the changes you made at the end improved the fit and yes definitely less frumpy. interesting shirring technique, I think I will try it. I have two grandchildren I can try it out on first 😊 Have you thought about putting a couple large folding tables together for a cutting/sewing table. Have one set up and pull the other out when you need a bigger surface, if you have the room of corse. I have my grandfathers old office desk. It’s not quite big enough for my large cutting mat 58x25in so I put a small extension on the back and I have two square sewing machine cabinets positioned on the end. It works 🤷🏼‍♀️ Idea for an ironing surface. I picked up an old dresser years ago. The drawers were missing but it was sturdy so I put it in the back of the truck🤭 it is waist high and a bit over four feet long. Cleaned and painted it, a friend cut boards for shelves inside. I padded the top and stapled a cover on it and it works wonderfully as a large ironing board and storage. We used leftover paint and wood scraps so the only cost was the padding. Just some ideas.

ended up really beautiful! your explanations were quite clear and easy to follow :)

This is super cute and inspiring. I feel your table space struggles. I'm so glad to see another upload 💖

I love this! Definitely going on my list for things to try! X

Beautiful princess seams on you, wowow I also love a hem ruffle 🥰 I think the altered sleeves were a great choice, the elastic at the end of the sleeve totally removes the costume look to me and is probably more wearable too

I don't feel it's frumpy, a bit cottage core maybe but that is a good thing usually. The finished dress should be very comfy and that is what counts.

Beautiful work ❤ beautiful on you 🌺

Not frumpy at all, super cute

Pretty easy to watch video, interesting and informative enough that my ADHD ass didn't want to click away. Commenting for the algorithm!

You did all this by hand?? 😯wow! Ur a pro!

❤❤❤❤❤

Judith was raped by two men, right.? I think Judith looked better in blue too. You are too hard on yourself, I think

I was surprised you didn't mention that courtesans could remove their skirts in the evening

Have you thought about trying The Stitchery's Split-Side Pants? She takes the basic concept of the Coquelicot skirt lace-up-and-tie and figures out how to apply it to pants. Could be worth exploring, I am also pear shaped and have been curious to try them. (I'd link but I fear my comment being eaten by youtube)

I just want to tell you how much this video has helped me Its very soothing. I love that your not super obnoxiously bubbly like most creators they come off very fake. Also the bit where you talked about how your brain sees it coming together really encouraged me for when I struggle with Patterns. But when you talked about needing a simple win after making a big mistake and not knowing how to fix the mistake you made almost makes me cry, then. It spoke to me in my current life situation and It speakes to my heart about so much more than just sewing. My life is so messy rn and this is how I feel about sewing, it's easy and I can do it and I need a simple win everyday of sewing just a little. At first it felt like I was wasting my time. I should be cleaning or folding laundry or cooking but then I realized how much it soothes my soul.

They are lovely trousers ❤

Dirndl hooks…. GENIUS!!! 🤯💕

I love your style. And I really like how the pants look on you, I would have never thought it´s "unflattering" if you didn´t say anything, on the contrary, I do like the pleading on the front

It's so great to find a sewing youtuber with a similar body shape to mine, and this skirt is ADORABLE! Love a natural fiber flowy summer skirt. And, bonus, your cat looks just like mine!😁

Love the stripes. I'd like to get better at pockets of that style

The stripes are great. Love the horizontal pocket detail. Looks amazing and cool.

Very cute fluffy helpers, and a nice skirt too
