One thing I have learned from @abbycox unboxing videos is that historical garments of ever day people were not necessarily haute couture level. Some stitching clearly exudes "meh. It'll be fine" our pre-industrial elders were clearly fine with it.
Very true! I'm do my best to be okay with messy stitching, but I like to avoid anything that will make me grumpy when I look at it (or actually lead to a garment falling apart . . . )
... my immediate reaction is “stays are not hang out at home wear” Then realized that’s ridiculous, as stays over a shift would provide nice breast and posture support - precisely what I’ve been in need of while sewing and such, at home, and not able to find from any of my contemporary clothing.
It's like a bra, but sooooo much better! I'm sure someone who was really going to spend the whole day on the couch they might leave it at a shift, but that would have made for a less exciting getting-dressed montage >_>
Iirc, some ladies may also have used basically a quilted vests as a kind of ye olde sports bra for hanging around the house. Not as full support as stays, but just a teeny bit of support.
@@glittergoblin I've also seen several 19thc patterns for heavyweight knitted or crocheted stays/corsets/very fitted vests, sometimes explicitly for exercise (including housework!)
I've been sewing since before I was old enough for school, close to 50yrs, but there's always room to learn. I have suggestions that may help. If using the bagging method where edges will be enclosed, imho the most useful piece of time-saving equipment is the Twin Needle (aka Dual Needle or Double Needle) as it sews 2 closely-sewn parallel lines of straight stitch. It uses less thread than Machine Overcast & when used in combination with pinked edges, provides assurance against fraying seams in this type of situation without requiring the stitcher to sew around the perimeter twice. I also like to Understitch edge seams on the inside & Topstitch on the outside, to stop 'rolling', but you do you :) Next hint: Instead of working with such large Front & Back pieces, adding Centre Front & Centre Back seams allows greater flexibility during construction without garment tangling & simplifies the bagging process to a few steps. e.g. Assemble til you have 4 large pieces - Garment Left & Right, Lining Left & Right. Turn inside out & sew the 2 Left pieces together at the cuff, repeating with the Right. You now have only a Left Side & a Right Side. At Centre Front, sew Lining Left onto Garment Left & Lining Right onto Garment Right, thus creating the opening on front of banyan. Sew the Garment Centre Back seam then Lining Centre Back seam. Done. Choose your preferred hemming method - you may wish to close most of the hem before turning garment back out. Hope this makes sense & is helpful to someone.
I'm old enough to be your Grandma (57) and at this age I see you as a beautiful living doll. So sweet faced and so much fun to fuss over. And that Hair! I wish we could have a proper tea on the veranda. Thank you for sharing your time and talents, ☕and 🐈's with 👵
I’m currently living in my mink blanket type dressing gown (is its winter here in the Southern Hemisphere), but a Banyan for summer sounds excellent! Particularly as I’m disabled, so I live in my pyjamas as it is, and I also have care workers who come to my house while I’m in said pyjamas (I’m not putting myself through pain to get dressed for care workers who don’t care about that anyway). Also, given that I do live in pyjamas, I’ve been making an effort to pretty up the PJs that I wear, which is surprisingly effective at lifting the mood. So I’ve got some linen shifts, and I’ll be adding some lovely 1940s style slips into my collection shortly. I love two in one garments- underwear and a nightie! And they’re pretty. So now I’ve got something else to put on my ever-increasing project list.
oooh, a blanket dressing gown sounds amazingly comfy. We don't really have "winter" at all where I am, but I want one anyways! Banyans definitely could be made out of heavier/warmer materials too, I just chose lightweight cotton because of my local climate.
SnappyDragon I live in Brisbane, Australia. There’s barely a winter here, but I still love my blanky dressing gown. And when I’m not wearing it, it becomes my cat’s bed. I used to live in a place with an actual winter, and I got my dressing gown then. But it only took a year or two for my body to acclimate to Brisbane temps, so now the dressing gown goes on as soon as it drops below 20C. But I definitely need nice light and natural fibre fabric for all of my summer stuff. I prefer linen, because I find it breathes the best, and it’s super humid where I live (which is sub-tropical). So a linen banyan would be pretty awesome. It’s also why I’ve moved to linen shifts as nighties. If only linen weren’t so expensive here. 😢
Ok ok you convinced me. I NEED A BANYAN 😍 who wouldn't want to be extra af in a beautiful robe all morning long?! 😂👏 . . Sidenote- thankyou so much for including your blm support at the end of the video. ✊🏼
I love this, and need a (Southern hemisphere) summer dressing gown, so thanks for the inspiration! I've got a similar Brother machine - what you refer to as "overlock lite" goes by the name of "fauxverlock" in our house. I never use it as a construction stitch, only as a seam finish. It does use a lot of thread, but nowhere near as much as a real overlocker.
Watching this as I sweat in my 100% polyester robe. Will be making some changes to my lounge wear. It'll be a good opportunity to practice my French seams
This has been the most helpful video on CZcams I have found yet for these things. I need to make one now!!! ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Also don’t feel bad for using sheets/bed linens! Sateen and Percale make FABULOUS, and soft, linings!!
I pretty much always celebrate internally someone puts big pockets in a piece of clothing :> aaand I totally gonna join this challenge soon :D (even tough I am late to the party :D)
New subscriber today. Looks like a lot of fun & as another disabled Antipodean whose life is permanently in lockdown, I live in track pants & t-shirt/tunic-dresses thru winter. However, in summer when it's near 50degC (120degF) here it's difficult to get comfortable things to wear - almost everything in shops is made from polyester & our largest fabric store's stock is equally as bad. These are great ideas for comfort & breathe-ability & let's face it, vintage & historical fashion options just look so much more 'put-together' compared to leggings & a top.
If you are out around your town one day ,stop in and check out your local Goodwill or Salvation Army resale thrift stores...If I find nothing else when I go to mine,I always find entire sets of the most gorgeous tapestry bedspreads and excellent matching bags of entire matching linens and throw pillows.And great Egyptian cotton ones too...Tapestries and satins often with the most wonderful trims etc on the edges of the comforters and throw pillows.And most of the times people redecorate and the things are nearly new.When I was a member of SCA( years ago) I made many of my middle ages costumes from those finds. Damasks,printed elegant corduroys,Moire and velveteens.I had the most awesome Anne Boleyn dress and also Queen Isabella of Spain as well...I couldn't keep up,as I was working 2 jobs then...but the dressing up is so much fun! You feel even more like you belong to another time when you get dressed up in the clothing of the era! I am more interested in the 1920's and '30's these days...
Beautiful video!!! I’m getting ready to make my first shift so watching your video gives me the push to not procrastinate any longer, I can do this!!! It’s truly sad that anyone would think a black’s person life has any different value than their own. I can’t even wrap my head around it any other way. Truly sad what’s happening in United States, it must be stopped.
I use a tiny safety pin to thread ribbon etc through casing - or not so tiny, depending on the size of the casing & what I'm threading through. It's what my mum taught me to do, & I like pining the safety pin onto the ribbon etc, & that it's less likely to try to push through the material.
Not sure if you've already done this, but if you could make some kind of video about historical plus sized fashion, I think that would be really interesting. Thanks for the content!
I'm going to have to make a banyan for comfort, but also to figure out the spacial geometry of the sleeve. Trying to figure it out in my head just makes my brain turn inside out instead.
0:12 Agree, but the method for waking up can help. Example: happy loving dog in your face makes it hard to be grumpy (or over sleep-they want their food/go outside to potty)
It’s so good! I made a circle skirt and a peasant top out of an old doona cover that I can’t use anymore (white bedding just doesn’t work for someone who spends so much tome in bed, as I do). I used the top part of the doona cover for the skirt, because it’s thick and embossed. And the bottom portion is a plain white cotton, and was perfect for my peasant top. I also always check out op shops for decent (preferably natural fibre) bedlinen, because if I can get a flat sheet for $2, that’s enough for a full dress and probably also a top. Nothing better than super cheap fabric!
Made extra pillow cases out of the fitted sheet with the really nice cotton, when it got a no longer mendable hole in it. Sucks to lose that fitted sheet, but I got 6 super lovely smooth pillow cases out of it.
I got worried your cup would break when you poured your coffee directly into the cream! Anyway, beautiful project, lounge/sleep wear is now on my list of to-dos!
Nice result! I did see Cait's wrapping gown on her Willoughby & Rose's channel when that came out, but wasn't aware there was a hashtag. I whipped one together for myself over the course of a few days last July when I got back from doing the Isabella project - because I was *exhausted* and just wanted to lounge around in... well... 18th century pajamas all day. :p I didn't make a video of the making, just a few seconds parading around when it was done. Wrapping gowns are soooooo easy. It takes less time to make one (yes, even hand sewn) than it does to read the growing amount of scholarship being published in academic journals about the entire umbrella category of "night/morning gowns" fashions (including wrapping gowns like Cait's, yours, and mine - and also banyans) - yikes.
@@SnappyDragon I had to order more of the floral I want to line my silk in... as soon as it comes in I'll sit down and make it. Hum.... I might need some ribbons. LOL!
Very nice! It looks like a fun project. With your coloring, that fabric color is perfect for you! I may try this, and I have some cotton and linen blend fabric that would be perfect for a shift. I also have some tatted lace I made a couple of years ago that would be perfect for it.
If your satin ribbon is made of synthetic fiber you can just touch the end with a flame and it will melt nicely onto itself! And with that....I will be adding "make a banyan" to my sewing list!!! :-) Maybe I can find a fun old quilt top to make the outside out of like some of those fabulous 18th century banyans...
I own something made in Uzbekistan that was sold as a "kaftan" but that as I look at your banyan appears to be very similar to a banyan without pockets and with some colorful textiles from that region of the world. I guess if they sold it as a "banyan" people wouldn't relate to that word. The fabric is cut into a banyan-like shape and similarly closes with just one tie.
Seems I'm adding one Historical Sewing CZcams channel per week. Hi, there! :-D I >love< the fact that you'll use whatever you have lying around...including sheets. ...because that's what my first, ever Chemise and petticoats are about to be made of.

It's the heart I'm looking for! Be blessed, Madam.
it was just a passing mention and you probably wont see this, but you shouldn't sew over pins! they can snap or get caught, and rip your fabric and or jump up and end up injurying you!
I would like to make a suggestion for you. Ive watched a couple of your videos and you hardly ever look at the limbs of the camera..it looks like you are looking at the floor or wall all around you. Just think it would look more professional. Please don't be offended it looks like.
Did you put the milk in first? FIRST!!!! What!? Why!? Who the....? How can....? Are you a hostage? Are you signaling for help? Who is making you do such a terrible thing?
🤣🤣🤣 no, I just got told it was the "right" way to do it to keep from scalding the cream. I'll have to think it through more next time I make coffee/tea in a video!
Lmao. I’ve met people who land on either side of this debate, those who say it differs whether its tea or coffee, and those who insist stirring is required, and those who call it blasphemy. And some of them can actually taste the difference if it’s made not in their preferred manner.
“Or I would have, if my bobbin hadn’t pitched a fit” is such a mood.
And it's always 20 cm or less before the end of the seam. 🙈😅

+1 for shifts as nighties! One day I hope to replace all my pajamas with short-sleeved linen shifts, ideally in pretty colors.
Zack Pinsent has described a winter banyan as (paraphrasing): “a wearable duvet that looks fabulous.”

Yes, that sounds much better! Maybe I'll hate mornings less when I get fur-babies.
My way of doing bag lining sleeves is sleeves first, finish, the carefully pinning and sewing the outer line. Then turn the item out and top stiching.
Glad I’m not the only person repurposing bedding into wearables!
It's one of the best ways to get a lot of fabric for not a lot of money. Also cotton sateen is so pretty
It’s so good! I made a circle skirt and a peasant top out of an old doona cover that I can’t use anymore (white bedding just doesn’t work for someone who spends so much tome in bed, as I do).

Overcast stitching is done AFTER sewing the regular seam. Once around regular seam then again with overcasting.
That is appropriate lounge wear. Thanks for the message at the end. I would add a bit of lace when I make one.
