🎃Teaching Him How To Sew His Own Halloween Costume | Merlin Sewing Vlog!
I made Melchior sew his own Merlin Halloween costume to go trick or treating at Mickey's not so scary Halloween party at Walt Disney world last year. Enjoy a slightly chaotic sewing vlog where I teach him some sewing basics. While he is busy sewing his basic tunic, I made his bag, hat and shoes.

i love the victorian era :)
Thanks il need this in making my niece cosplay costume 😊
The problem is, your skirt is all one length. A riding habit would’ve had the right hand side longer to account for your leg over the pommel. When dismounting, you could have draped the right side back and fastened the extra length to a button with a loop. This would’ve allowed you to walk in the skirt. Also, you would have needed riding breeches for modesty. The breeches would have buttoned to the right at the ankle on both legs, and would have had a stirrup to fasten under the heel of each boot.
Thank you very much for this video. I learned a lot. I Love You so much and May God Bless You!
That is a very good place to start- with a Merlin robe! I’m so glad to have discovered y’all on château, diaries!
Aw thank you! And welcome to the fam🥰
black on black fabric is not very helpful
Thanks for sharing 🎉
The noise they make when starched makes me feel all calm and sleepy.
my left ear is lonely.
I liked what you are trying to do, but I am a visual person and found it difficult to see the lines. Perhaps it would be a good idea if you used a coloured pencil. You have a good way of bringing your knowledge to the fore. I just could not see what you were drawing on the paper.
So glad I found you through Noelle. Your teachings are excellent! Thanks so much!❤
I was taught to use a double strand by putting 2 strands through the needle. That way the same spot in the thread isn't being abraded by the needle eye AND much less tangling.
Bravo ! Well done ♥
Everything great 👍 👏 but the original from V&A that you referred is 1864 ;) so it’s more 60s corset than 70s ;)
The pattern I am using is from a gracious magazine from 1876. I am not using a pattern from the V&A. I was just looking at existing corset from the V&A collection for inspiration for color ways (silk, lace and flossing)
@@Leeam ok ,got you ,than it is 70s ,my bad ;)
❤
Yes, combine all the things!
Felicitations pour les costumes🪡! Et quelle ambiance🎶....Bravo👋
Noelle (costuming drama) said to send her love! She recommended this video for sewing in hooks and eyes/bars neatly, thought I would check it out!
This is one of the clearest and most detailed instructional videos I’ve seen on CZcams. 👍🏻 Thank you!
You speak English far better than I speak any other language, so of course I forgive you for not knowing all the specialist terminology! I just wish I could speak another language as well as you speak English!
This was a delight to watch!
Excellent job, Melchior! Great costume choice. I'm going to make my hubby a Merlin costume for next year's Comic Expo and I'm going to be Mad Madam Mim . Thanks for sharing your adventure.
I love a nice housecoat. Great job gathering and easing that velvet!
This is similar to all the crazy fascinators the British royals wear to weddings. Some things never change.
What is stuffed into the bottom of the pitman arm and why? I think your treadle needs to be fettled to help with the balance/starting issues..
What is the pitman arm?
You guys are so cute together! (and also, I would not be brave enough to create video content for all the internet in a second language ...)
I love how you edited in bits of the movie and there were so many applicable parts.
I was suprised at that too, when I went through the movie trying to find bits. I guess cause the whole storyline is Merlin teaching/tutoring Arthur, while I’m teaching Melchior😅
Congrats Melchior! So great to see the two of you sharing creativity
wow! I should teach Tom how t- ...🙃
🤣
Utterly delightful. I particularly enjoyed how you managed to pull off goofy old married couple and newlywed giggles. At the same time!Congratulations on that by the way.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 thank you so much♥️
Also, this was filmed last year before we even got engaged 🙈🤣
@@Leeam Soulmates can be like that. You made my day by telling me that it made your day. ❤❤❤
good job!
You're a great teacher!
Thanks 😅
It is a delight to see you guys! Cute costume, too.
🤗
It looks fantastic! Congratulations 🎉
Thanks ♥️
@@Leeam you are welcome! 🎃
This was such a delight to watch!!!
☺️
Hopefully we'll get more trick or treat at the Mouse. Er Disney Paris. Trick or treat what's to eat? Happy treating and all is well. Were you able to see SIX in Amsterdam? Have you seen Wicked?
Missed you guys. Sorry, I thought Melchior sewed. So does that mean you made his costumes? MESSAGE 1 OF 2
🤣indeed! I always make his costumes that are made out of textile. He does make costumes himself but those are made out of cardboard and the likes
@@Leeam His textiles look gorgeous and more clothes-like than costumes, if you know what I mean, beautifully fit, lived in, moves great
I have massive petticoat and sewing bench envy! Does the starch all come out the first time you wash it?
It seems like the pattern is calling for 4 yard / 3.6 meter of fabric???
How do you get a part of this tour of huis door in victorian clothes? 😊😊
How much fabric did you buy? You should totally make a version with a fluffy inside, and maybe make a men's version for your new husband!
tell that man to remove his top-hat....
It's so amazing to see all the layers that go into this look. Fantastic dress.
Thank ls so much for the tutorial! What's the name of your fabric pencil(chalk)? It looks so efficient!
It’s a chalk cartridge pencil from prym product code 610 840

Wow, wat mooi 🤩 ik wil al zo lang dit type 'huisjas' en vind het nooit in de winkels. Misschien dat ik me er dan aan moet wagen er zelf eentje te maken.
Thank you
What size did you cut it out at? The website says a bust of 30", isn't this too small?
