I love your channel so much because it's not just covering Victorian or Rococo like a lot of other sewing channels do. It covers something completely unique and beautiful and I adore it so much!
I agree, no one else seems to talk about regional folk clothing and wearing it as part of your everyday fashion and how to sew folkwear. The historical costumers and history bounders never cover folkwear. I wish more youtubers were into folkwear. Because I wear folkwear buying vintage folkwear, and diy sewing folkwear too for my everyday clothing and Anna/prettyshepherd is the only youtuber that I found that does this.
@@Mori_Kinoko I know for us in America, we don't have historical folkware to turn to as our country is only 200 years old. British and surrounding countries has - as been stated - done to death on historic costume youtube pages. I want to see more historic costuming from the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, Russia, Albania, etc. Places not traditionally covered. CZcams is opening up doors, though, so that is great news :D
@@WayToVibe Maybe you could make folkwear of one of your ancestral backgrounds? Like for example if your a mixture of backgrounds as an American you could choose one of or maybe try to make folkwear of multiple of your backgrounds? Also America has a bit of folkwear in the 19th century if you count prairie clothing I suppose. And it might not necessarily have to be one of your backgrounds if your really interested and are respectful of folkwear from a particular place, like for example if your interested in Hungarian embroidery on the clothing and buy a Hungarian folk blouse but don't have any Hungarian in your background but really respect and like Hungarian embroidery. But if you don't feel comfortable wearing anything that is not part of your background like you feel its disrespectful then that's ok if you wouldn't want to do anything like that.
@@Mori_Kinoko There is the issue of walking the line between appreciation and appropriation. I tend to ere on the side of caution. I did google "American folk costume" and it appears that prairie garb and cowboy clothes is the extent of "white" American folk costume. The rest belong to the Native Americans, which is a category I don't fit into. However, my mom did trace one line of our ancestry back to a boat of indentured servants that came over from Ireland, so you may be onto something there :)
@@WayToVibe I don't live in the U.S. but looks like there is a sensitive issue of appropriation in the U.S. And yes I agree that wearing Native American traditional clothes would be very inappropriate, but I don't see an issue if you are European descent to wear a blouse from Hungary even if you are not Hungarian, but then again I am not in the U.S. things are less sensitive in other countries, prettyshepherd/Anna has actually gave away a specific regional Hungarian embroidered folk scarf as a giveaway to her subscribers who are from various countries and she has sold a Hungarian blouse to her instagram followers, she also wears German dirndl wear even though she is not German, she wears dirndl aprons, dirndl skirts and dirndls mixed into her clothing if you watch her other videos or look at her instagram. I don't personally feel its a problem if its respectful and you really love it and are not mocking (but obviously avoiding Native American traditional clothing, and other specific colonized cultures traditional clothing), but maybe your new to prettyshepherd's videos and you might feel its inappropriate.
I like using vintage sheets from the thrift store to make pajamas. The top part you fold over makes an easy waistband and since the bottom edge is already hemmed it saves me a step! Pillowcases are good for cutting vests from, and ALWAYS make sure to check the curtains section for silk! I've found gorgeous long cuts of silk for less than I'd pay for a sandwich.
Ohwow! I wish silk curtains were a thing here! ❤️
I made a suit out of a sheet for about the price of a cheap coffee. No one knows it's just old linens unless you tell them. Lol
@@PrettyShepherd I don't find them often, but I spend a lot of time at thrift stores so I've seen them more than once! Gotta love it when rich people redecorate their silly trophy homes 😂
YES! Ditto doll!
@@jayebard4120 yeah! More cool stuff for us to sew up, cheap!
Wow, Anna, you cinematography skills are of a new level! Beautiful aesthetic and nature images in between the sewing scenes.
Your style is a perfect combination of the atmosphere of Bernadette Banner videos and the funny editing inserts of Rachel Maksy, love it!
Also, I love the sleeves of that blouse you're wearing at the beginning!
You are just too sweet! 🥺😭❤️ Thank you! 🌷
You once suggested making a video on Hungarian folk songs - please, do it! Still remains a very interesting topic.
Great video as always!
I like how Geralt calmly watches and approves! 🖤🖤🖤
Also kids bandages are awesome 😎
the begining bit about how traditional skirts are made to tie and it doesnt mater if there is a gap or not because a apron covers it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HELPFUL. my issue is that i hate skirts I love dresses, but i want to apply the idea to dresses>
But only flared skirt dresses (i dont put a middle seam I just use one continuous piece of fabric)
I love thrift store curtains! People buy a house and get rid of the "dated" window treatments so I sometime find many panels from the same sets. Even new drapery is expensive, but a lot of times you can tell that people spent a FORTUNE on them. I recently found several panels of fine silk (the care tags were still on from a fairly expensive store) and I can not pass up cotton velvet (even from Ikea) and brocades -especially with fringe! I got a set of olive and red cotton brocade with 3 panels and a matching bedspread, complete with fringe and no visible sun damage a few years ago!
My favorite thrift item is linen sheets. Much cheaper than brand new linen when you are making shifts or chemises. Apparently it was a major traditional item for wedding trousseau or dowry chests in the past in Italy and there is always some in every second hand shop. Either that or hand woven hemp sheets. In the mountains in Piedmont in a region known as Canavese (from the local name for canabis) girls often were given a long thin (2 meters) strip of land so that each could grow the hemp for her own dowry items such as night gowns, hand towels, work shirts, and sheets. She would often pass it to the town weaver and sometimes even another spinner but she would then get the fabric back to sew. It’s a pretty tough and somewhat rough fabric but great for folkloric applications.
Ah, the familiarity of the feline helper who does not actually want to let you do any work on your sewing project. 😂 And yes, velvet is one of those things that I hunt for in thrift stores, along with silk, satin, and brocades.
Nice silk brocade men’s vests can be used as appliqué for anything if you cut them out and stitch them down.
I also always buy linen anything if I find it at the thrift store.
Especially sheets. I lucked out on a cotton/linen blend king sized sheet set. Flat, fitted and pillowcase for only $25. You’d pay that by itself for one pillowcase nowadays.
Thrifted leather sofa or leather pants as leather lining for costume armour is something we do at the armour shop...
Omgosh I just wanted too snuggle with your kitties! Your skirt turned out super cute. I love it! Mixing a folk skirt with crop tops you say, sounds exciting. I can't wait to see you running from the folk police. 😉
I like to find sweaters in thrift shops and unravel them, most of the time the yarn is what catches my attention but the style might not be to my liking so I just use the yarn again. Plus it's much cheaper to buy a sweater-quantity of yarn already as a sweater than in a skein.
I once made a choli (blouse for saree) out of a second hand gown. I was desperately searching for a nice shiny fabric at an affordable price, and the dress was way cheaper. I even used the pettycoat part for an other project.
I had a very big squeek when I saw your moomin bandaid! Don't know how widely those are sold outside Finland so it was suprise. 😍🤩 I think I'm too practical for kids bandaids because those come in one size. I like to buy the type which comes this half meter strip where you can cut bandaid in the size you need.
I love those little facts you have in your videos of history of folk costumes. Haven't heard that in Finland you would weave metal strings in your fabric to keep evil away and show your wealth but I can think many other elements which speak this similar believes. The nerd in me gets so happy from these little facts. 🥰
Watching your videos always make me want to get in touch with my ancestral heritage (very strong urges)!!...love how the skirt turned out....and what woman in her right mind doesn't like a little black velvet!!...cute "helpers" btw....
I see you're also owned by less-than-helpful helpers. They're adorable!
Gorgeous skirt! I'm impressed by your ability to just sew bits together without fussing with a million pins (and resultant pin pricks in the skin).
I have space themed bandages that I use to keep myself from picking at sores...I'm very bad about that, and I won't keep regular bandages on long enough to stop myself, so space themed ones work...and I'm 45 :)
Amazing thrift-flip! And Morgul is such a fluffball ^^
I love the pretty bandages, too. I've been wearing them for years.
I like to make hooded capelets out of flannel shirts
Oh! That sounds fabulous! 🌷
@@PrettyShepherd they're really great! I decorate them with thrifted trim
I absolutely love the bandages! I like to keep fun ones in the medicine cabinet but I buy the "adult" ones for my husband 😅
Lovely, pretty nice. I like the traditional and pretty details like you explain. Thank you very much
Flat sheets as curtains. You just undo or cut the seam at the top hem and slide it on the curtain rod. You have lovely long curtains in whatever color/print and super cheap or free (mine came from my aunt 😁)
Lately I have been seeking out corduroy items from the thrift store, to either wear if I like and fit them, or reshape if I find the right kind. I recently found a forest green corduroy skirt in a very straight cut that Is going to be the perfect size to remake into a waistcoat.
Yes! I love going on sale days at the thrift store and collecting all types of garments to use for applique. Velvet is one of my favorites too, I also love finding leather, hemp, and silks. I like to check curtains, tablecloths, dresses, coats...all the larger items so there is lots of scrap to work with. Old linens are great for testing patterns or as a backing for applique pieces! so many possibilities
Most of my clothing features kitty glitter!
Montgomery and Fitz insist on being part of all of my projects and prefer the basket of clean laundry to the dirty clothes.
Thus far my thrifted fabric has been cotton bedding (sheets / pillow cases).
Will now be looking at more sections of thrift stores for velvet, silks, etc based on comments here.
Thanks to all for the suggestion!!!
I too grab black velvet skirts to make into cushions then stitch tapestry embroideries onto one side using braid to cover the canvass edges. Way back when mini skirts were reaching charity shops in the mid 70s and I had just returned from 3 years in California to wintery Wales i bought several in tweed for allmost instant cushions. Also usefull sewn in stripes onto canvass padded with sheep wool from fences to lay on cold slate floors
It came out so good! I love when you find a good, thrifted item like that, that's just so perfect for what you intend to use it for ^^ I really wanna make a new piece now lol Also, I'm loving all the kitty names throughout the video (: Can't wait for the folk dance vlog!
Beautiful Video Anna! You really do the most lovely work, and I really enjoy the cheerful folk music playing as you sew, it really emphasises how excited you are about your project.
As for Thrift store habits, I always look for jewellery I can pull apart to use as embellishments on garment, or combine to make nicer/more "me" jewellery. And then bedding/tablecloths are super useful for regency gowns, because they come pre-hemmed, which saves me a step (I know you could use them for other gowns, skirts etc, it just so happens I've ended up using them almost exclusively for Regency gowns 😅)
I love the cinematic shots! I literally gasped at the sunset shot 😍😍💖💖💕💕
Thank you! Same! I can never get enough of the sunsets on the farm ❤️✨
Hi! I adore your videos a lot! I just wanted to ask what music you use in the backround? Because I am on the search on hungarian music. :) Your videos make me feel more connected to my hungarian roots, and i want to thank u for this!
Hello! I've just finished editing the description to include the music too! All of my videos should have the music listed, so you can check whenever you hear something you like 😉
This one has mostly Moldavian music by Tázló (you can digitally download their album for a fee), and a little by Fabatka (their older songs are up on Spotify)
I had been contemplating making a video about the bands I like to listen to, and your comment made that thought resurface 😁
Edit: I realise the way I worded it may be misleading; I meant: this is Hungarian folk music from the area within current day Romania, called Moldova, where the Csángó minority lives.
@@PrettyShepherd Thank you again! Have a nice day :)
Yep, I've gone to a purple high school sport's team shirt from a second hand store to use for something else. When I got home I cut off the sleeves, and turned the shirt inside out to make a skirt. I needed it for a school cosplay thing that week. It was perfect (save for it being kinda small lol)
What a lovely skirt!
Looking forward to the folk dance vlog
The funny thing about being on the radar of the folk police is that in 200 years your breaks from convention might very well be the "traditonal folk costume inspiration" !!! Heehee 😁
I had to comment on your video.i love 💕 your videos and I'm glad I subscribed to you.you are so very talented and sweet and I adore and love 💕 your helpers they are so very very adorable and cute keep sharing I hope and pray that you get a CZcams plack cause you really deserve it
Budget friendly tip as requested: I volunteer for a local charity and each time we sort trough donated clothing we throw out stuff that is torn or otherwise damaged that is not repairable. People often ,,donate" literal waste. So after something goes to the waste pile, I clip off buttons and keep them. Maybe ask in a local charity shop if you could do the same?
oh I love it!!! herringbone patterns and velvet is like exactly my taste AND it’s folkloric!
I like to keep an eye out for the right suede and leather garments at thrift stores to decontruct and make roman style sandals
This look is geoureous !! Love the circle effect on the skirt as you turn 😍😍😍 and it fits with the vest so perfectly ! I really like the floured coton inside the bottom of the skirt, such a brilliant adding to a
i m really impressed by how you handle all this sweeing work, mixing modern techniques (and had sewing) with modern issues (prices, finding garnments and not plastic textile,... ,) To make folk silhouette !
Thanks for your inspiring work. Hope to se more of this (seems) "superbe" festival !
I'm collecting Liberty (Of London) shirts from the brand Mary-Kimberley (it's very "mom/grandma" vibe), mostly in XL or XXL juste for the fabric. It's around 2€ to 5€ the shirt on Vinted or Ebay. What's the point you're asking me ? One day, it will be a giant quilted patchwork bed cover !
So crafty of you! ✨✨✨
Honestly you inspired me to search and learn more about folk clothes from my country
Your skirt transformation is masterful!
AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! It's so PRETTY!! I like that Moriel had to lower herself carefully onto the velvet, like there might have been pins, or it was a hot bath.
If I find linen shirts I like to deconstruct them into caps, or pockets, or bum pads.
I thrift sweaters made of 100% cotton yarn and unravel them to use in crochet projects. This has become my #1 source of yarn. I hardly ever buy it new now. It makes my projects feel even more special because I found a “treasure” to make it with, and when it’s gone, it’s gone, which makes it feel very precious!
I like cotton sheets, linen tablecloths and some curtains for sewing. I will grab a tablecloth in a heartbeat.
It turned out beautifully 😍
I have two cats and they are very involved in every stage of sewing....Well tailoring, cutting the fabric, ironing....paw s everywhere 😁
Hi. Your channel was recommended to me and I'm so glad I watched. I have been sewing for a long time and also I do Leatherwork occasionally. It all depends on what I'm working on, from Ren fest items to costumes for exotic Dancers. I absolutely love thrift stores and have found unbelievable items that I chose to wear for myself. But one of the things I am always looking out for is items with rhinestones. The good ones in any form from chain to large appliques. Because when I do costumes for exotics I tend to go the glitzy and rhinestones are so crazy expensive! I also look for 4 way stretch materials and good velvet same like you. So happy I found your channel!
Best wishes. lee
Edited to add. Fantastic work. Just loved it and can see how much you love sewing. !!
I would love to see all the outfits at a folk dancing event!!❤
Cats do not *help*, they *supervise*. 😺
just started watching your channel, and I love it. I am binge watching!. I am canadian hungarian and left canada to move to budapest. I love the hungarian style music in the background.
Roosters are so mean! 😂 I always use random kid bandaids though lol!
I'm so glad I found you! Iove this channel!
I look out for heavy silks, silk velvet, linen and silk cotton. And vintage handmade lace
Really amazing and inspiring 😍.
I am also planning to make a folk skirt from a woolen overlay I obtained.
Unfortunately, I'm a total noob, so wish me luck.
Greetings from Poland ❤
Oh, that came out so SWEET!!
I hope you do post video of the event, I would love to see another country's culture being celebrated. ♥
I am just prepairing for sewing a folk skirt - very helpful video. And funny as always.
I always look for linen bedding and curtains because I absolutely love linen but it’s so expensive!
The new skirt is super cute!
I thrift all my clothing (except my “undies”). I’m always watching for an item made of quality leather or real animal fur. These are useful in making cosplay or ren faire garb.
Very fine details on that thrift flip. And Oh those cats remind me of cats I had to give up when I moved in 2017. My tabby is an 8lb pussycat named Elbereth and my black cat is a 12lb tom named Moriel... they live in the same 26 foot Trailer that they have always lived in but It is now on my friend's property. I moved from Christmas Valley OR USA but they stayed in their home town.
How considerate of you to make sure they have a cozy place! ❤️😸
@@PrettyShepherd You can tell how much I miss them. Some of my boxed fabrics still have cat hairs all over them. I wonder is it ok for me to make European folk dress? I ask because I live in the USA and cultural appropriation is real.
Great tip on thrifting for materials!
Came out nice I like the colors a lot.
Morgul is sooo cute!❤him! Moreil is cut too!
❤😮👍 Eyelet. I have found lots of children's clothing made with it. Skirts are great for recycling.
I subscribed! I have been following you on instagram for a bit and just saw today that you have this channel. Love your beautiful hair and clothing style 😍
That was fun!
The "flower" at 2:32 made me laugh so hard. :)
Amazing video, as always.
Love your finished project, well done! 👍 🥰
Absolutely beautiful. I adore thrift flips and you brought this one to a whole new level.
Love it , absolutely lovely, glad you had "cat" supervision in your sewing endeavor
I adore you! Your content is so informative and fun
Would love to see your farm outfits vs your dress up outfits video! 😁
Awww I’m a lamb, thanks 😊
Yay! I've missed longer videos
Anna you should travel to Latin America one day you would love the folk culture there especially the embroidery and textiles!
I hope so too! From afar, it looks and sounds like a goldmine of folklore! ❤️🌷
Mister M 😂 is killing me with his tape measure attacks!
Still loving that background music haaaa =D
What I don't get is why you didn't use the opportunity of adding a velvet band at the bottom of the skirt to make it longer by it ?!
Love your video's so super mutch!!!! Just awesome! 🥰
Watching you and listening is a pleasure. I like thrifted red and green velvet for Christmas Stockings and ornaments. Lame', (not sure how to spell that) if good quality and other pretty trims as well.
I love the music
Wow, this set looks beautiful! :))
Interesting channel ypu have, subscribed. I just need to specify something: it is a Hungarian Transilvanian costume and the language in the song you played at some point is Hungarian. I think it is important, as Transylvania is part of Romania, the majority of the population is Romanian, Hunagrians are a minority. Speaking of which, maybe you can also try Romanian and Saxon costumes, too. Saxons of Transylvania. As for Romanian garments, I think the most beautiful ones are in Maramures, Moldova and Dobrogea. Just for inspiration! You did a great job there, congrats.
I know some fellow knitters buy sweaters from the thrift and unravel them for a new project!
I do Greek folk dancing its so important to carry on these traditions
I also use Hello Kitty and Disney's Bambi bandaids XD
I love this! Also, more sewing, please!
Love the skirt, love the vest also.
It looks fabulous
I seek out leather jackets coats or bags, and of course curtains and tableclothes. Sadly bedding is not sold secondhand here.
Silk, literally any silk from the thrift store usually for knickers or corsets
I gather big old men t-shirt to make toiles for knickers and underwears
Furnishing fabric can be handy. I scored some in cherry I fancy as a bodice. A skirt in tartan and I will be able make an outfit, not authentic but " history bounding ".
Fabulous!
I love looking for good quality wool, leather and velvet! I usually look for those so I can make hats and purses. But I also use it the same way as you do for decorative pieces!
WHY aren't there a MILLION subscribers to your channel????? i subscribed before i even finished watching the first of your videos that came up on my feed!
Omigosh! Thank you! That is so kind! ❤️😭🥰
I subbed right b4 you called me a sweet darling little lamb for subscribing and I got all the bang for my buck🥺🥺😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Purrrrrfect!💖🌹💖🌹💖
Haveing a batman bandaid on me now ❤😊😊
I lovedso many things about this video but had to come to the comments to say that the best part about needing a bandaid for my finger is getting to wear the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 🐢 😂
