„Against every instinct in my body and my soul, I left the edge unfinished“ ufff.. I could feel your pain 🥲 maybe a little piece of bias band to bind the endge and sooth the soul? 💖
I feel your comment about leaving the raw edge. On my coif I used a small strip of l linen whip stitched over the seam. I don't care if it's not authentic it soothes my neat freak soul. 😊 Loving your content. 🩵
Beautifully filmed with the natural light. Also the music is not competing with your voice. And you're very beautiful in that window light. It's lovely to see someone other than Morgan doing older work!
Glad you enjoyed the lighting! I did cheat a little and add a fill light but in general am trying to stick to the light from the window :)
Where did you find the trick of pinning the work to your knee while hemming? It's brilliant and I'm stealing it.
I came up with it earlier this year, when I was struggling with hand/wrist pain. It was my attempt to adapt the way people attach their work to the edge of a table, since I usually work 18th century style/cross legged. It helps a lot but it looks insane if I ever sew around other people!
I just finished mine! I do have long hair and this holds it nicely low on my head, and in fact, low enough to fit under a bike helmet. I’m probably going to end up using this more for cycling than for historical costuming :-D
Looking forward to the future headwear video(s) you mentioned! And thank you for this one!
Thank you! Funny timing, have only just been sewing beads onto a French hood 😆
I work for a theater as a stitcher. Your video has been super helpful to me in the last couple weeks while I was working on a jacobean show! I've made 3 so far!
Have you considered sewing a straight line of stitches along the fold line of a hem that runs along bias, to stabilize the weave and prevent stretching, but also to give a sharp fold as you're stitching the hem? You could then remove the stabilizing stitch after the hem is completed. I'd use a spaced backstitch for that, but a running stitch would probably be fine and easier to remove afterward. If you were using really wobbly fabric, you could do another line of stitching for the second fold, which obviously wouldn't need to be removed.
It looks fantastic!
Tudor crown braids can be done with surprisingly short hair. The Tudor Tailor youtube channel has a video showing how to do them on a woman with an asymmetrical haircut that is barely shoulder length at its longest part.
Looking at surviving examples in Patterns of Fashion 4 and the V&A, there seem to be 3 period options for dealing with the raw edge in the gathered section of the top seam: 1) Finish the edge before you gather it. 2) Embroider over top of the area with something like of circle of stem stitch. I only saw this on coifs where the whole thing was embroidered though. 3) Just leave the raw edge, like you did.
Your stitch is so accurate and like wow!!!
A safety pin can help you insert draw strings. There are some very tiny pins available.
Excellent video, thanks! Also you look fantastic in your kit :)
I have always pronounced coif in a french way 😅
OH MY GOD I USED TO FOLLOW YOU ON TIKTOK, havent been on there in quite some time but i LOVED your videos and im SO SO stoaked to see you're making videos on youtube!!!
Thanks for the helpful video. Looking forward to more
Scotch Tape is a North American brand name for the tape made by 3M. It has become a general term for that style of tape in North America, similar to how Kleenex now refers to all facial tissues now
Sigh... I may never wear a period correct coif as I haven't the hair to keep the back in place. Thank you for giving me ideas on how to get mine closer to what was a worn back then.
Yeah, Scotch tape is a brand, like Kleenex or Saran wrap 🤭💜
See, I would also use Kleenex and Saran wrap as common nouns!
@@pinsandweevils I guess at that point it is just whether or not the brand is popular in any given country. Band-aid is another brand turned common noun not commonly used in the UK.
Band-aid was a weird one to get used to.
I do to and yet @@pinsandweevils 😅
@@pinsandweevils Cellophane tape (typically European), adhesive tape (typically American) or sticky tape (straight up slang) all work. A No judgement zone here
Hi! I'm new to your channel (thank you weird algorithm) and, in a non-weird way, I would like to compliment your voice! I don't usually 'get it' without watching subtitles, but I was able to listen to you while oft looking down at my own craft project, and still understood the words, so.... yay us! *16th century version of high-5*
The Scotch Tape, while in Scotland, made me LOL! (Is 'bonnet" an okay word to use?)
Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you.
As far as I know, the word bonnet would be used to refer to a different garment during the Tudor period, rather than the coif!
I would add a small strip of hem tape made from the same fabric to cover the gathered section....just to prevent unraveling.
I have short hair, coupled with a relatively flat back-of-my-head, so I have a terrible time of keeping any headband/coif on my head.
Isn't it pronounced kwaf? as in coiffure?
I thought so too but I think both pronunciations are common in English.
I’ve only ever heard people say it the way I do here! Although I would be super interested to know how it was pronounced historically. ☺️
