Although I have not yest mastered your Running Stitch, I am patiently trying to Sew Like You!

So it’s like a ladder stitch for the linings with the fashion layers just along for the ride/literally caught in the middle?

Would this be suitable for a weight bearing seam? Like the top of a shoulder?

So my sleeve reinforcements are only long enough to go around the sleeve and not to make that little 'Y' aling the side seam. Should I just continue as normal, or cut a new one out? The reinforcements only touch at the inside corners when pinned onto the sleeve.

What were color options like for middle class men? Did they all have generally white or off-white shirts? Or did they choose different colors to taste, like reds, blues, greens, browns...etc? Did they choose prints or only solids?

7164 linen

Perhaps this is an odd question but I'm wondering why sewers back then didn't just cut a sleeve shape with ease rather than going the fiddly route of inserting a gusset into an unshaped sleeve.🤔

I unfortunately don't have enough fabric to cut the body on fold, but i do have enough to cut two seperate bodies. Should I just cut them separately and see the shoulders together? Is it possible?

Love it!

Bernadette Banner's channel sent me to this tutorial. This was great for a beginner. I'm super excited to put this into practice.

This series is wonderful! Do you wash your linen before you start sewing the shirt? If so, what do you wash it with? Thank you and keep up the great work!

Thank you! I feel like every pattern I use has a different method for attaching gussets and, every time, I get confused. I will try this method next. It makes sense when I'm watching it, but we'll see what happens when I actually do it! I am making a bedgown from a pattern that has gussets. Do bedgowns usually have gussets? The bedgown that I made from your pattern/sew along did not have gussets, so I'm wondering if the non-gusset method is more accurate? Or if some bedgowns had gussets and others didn't?

Thank you😊❤

Oh god the pen scratch noise at the beginning 😵‍💫 It's a lovely intro to pockets, though! (And what an excellent puppy.)

I thought the gusset was square, so was confused when you talked about the short vs. long sides.

came to see if I do the gusset different. Stayed for the Mushroom Shirt.

Fabulous instructions. A question: when sewing by hand, do you regularly knot your thread, like every inch or so, while sewing a seam?

Ah, wouldn't using a matching thread be best to blend in...or is that too obvious to mention?

but it's so so much easier and more efficient to sew the sleeve on first :(

Very helpful! Thank you!!

thanks for making and sharing this tutorial! you said that you find trimming the seam allowance easier than offsetting the seams for felling. is there evidence for a historical preference for one or the other? the ease of trimming versus the not generating cabbage? I assume they look the same on extant garments, but maybe there was writing about it?

Not terribly clear, and the white on white makes it tricky to see.

Thank you for this I’ve been struggling with putting gussets in my sleeves I now need to go undo one of my gussets because I putt it on the wrong side of my sleeve😅.

Thank you!

Grogu made me subscribe!!😂❤ Thank you for the tutorial. I was looking for ways to add ribbon on my hat.

love the stick but i think we need to create a new name

Made my pockets today, took me two days beginning to end, and they came out beautifully!

Is this effective for gathering skirts into a waist band?

I just acquired a linen men's shift from the 1800s France, gorgeous condition, bright white with not a stain on it. I want to take detailed photos to document it for the sake of future historians who are wondering what the fabric texture was like, how wide the hems were, how long the stitches were, etc. Where is a good place to upload the photos so as many people can access them as possible?

Thank U❤

Would you be able to make this for your mini mannequins by printing the pattern at 50% and then cutting the "full size equivalent" size? Which I believe would be M or L depending on how large the bust is made.

Great tutorial and market wallets are so underrepresented in the reenacting community

Thanks!

How do you FINISH the lacing? Tie it off???

So very interesting - thank you!!!

Thanks

Great video Burnley and Trowbridge: I'm glad you made this Tutorial it has been a great reference for me to create an 18th century shirt from. I will get a hold of your store about purchasing linens and wools for some upcoming projects for my colonial living history impersonation with the NWTA.-All my best always, Linda aka Captain Molly

I'm custom to use this kinda method almost always, but good thing you reminded me of the seam allowances - I always tend to forget 'em........ (But hey, that means more seams and that makes the garm even more intresting ;D) Thanks for this fun clip! Milla

Would cutting a larger collar piece help with ease?

Wonderful! Thank you!

Great Instructions! I appreciate you adding things To Do as well as Things Not To Do (for best results).

I'm enjoying while learning a lot from your Mini Sew Alongs series. Thank You very much for sharing!

Once again you do not show the set up. And you go way too fast. The camera should be showing you do it in motion, not just photos of the needle already in the fabric. Really disappointing as a teaching video. Talking way too fast. We are trying to watch and learn. There is no way to back up, because it is just a still photo with fast talking. Please do over.

You do NOT show the beginning step. What are the positions of the fabric? Which is the right side, which is the wrong side? Can you please do this over?

On real projects, how do you make sure that the fold is even through out?

Okay now... you've just helped me recall what my Grandma Bettie and Grandma Mary taught me when I was a little girl. I want to sew more and more like my Grandmas. Thank You for helping be get there!

I'm enjoying this Shop Like A Pro session. I've learned some things that will make shopping much easier. Thanks for sharing time-saving instructions with important navigation details!

Is there an idea seam allowance when sewing the mantuamaker's seam? I'm from a place where we often do 1cm (3/8'') seam allowance, and I feel like this may be too narrow for mantuamaker's seam.
