Making an outfit to match my 1917/18 Travel Guide

- I went on a Highland Trip, following a 1917/18 Travel journal. For this trip I, of course, needed an appropriate outfit. The making of which is shown in this part 1 of 2,
Part 2 here: • The Scottish Highlands...
Part 2 will be a full Highland trip video, the route we took, sights along the way and some classic Scottish nature.
The travel journal in question is The Highlands by Wardlock & Co. Part of a series of travel journals covering the UK and many other parts of the world.
Hope you enjoy the making of a split skirt and sailor collared blouse!

The Keystone and other drafting manuals of the time presume that you already know to use half/quarter of the main measurements. Good on you for persevering. Pattern drafting is a joy when it goes right but a nightmare when it goes wrong.
I think what threw me off is whenever I've used it before the measurements were as stated ( ie 1/4 waist, 1/8 hip etc) but now I know so if I draft the other trousers in it I'll not be as confused!
Oh, how lovely! Both your outfit, and the photography. Plus Highland Coos!!! Looking forward to the next episode.
The 19teens are a fantastic fashion period. Structural draping is delightful
Я вам писала ,что хочу такую машину швейную старого производства я бы купила бы если вы мне помогли приобрести я вам оплачу вашы расходы я живу франции помогите пожалуйсто спасибо вам за видео приятно было смотреть и слушать вас
It turned out really nice. I think we're not used to seeing women in baggy skirts/pants. I went to the store and half of the ladies wore skinny jeans that looked two sizes to small. They looked really uncomfortable but I like baggy pants. I like the outfit videos much better than the people who try to make a capsule wardrobe. I just kept thinking I know they already have perfectly good clothes in their closests. It takes time to make a nice garment.
I love this video so much! ❤ I think for the placket/pocket, it should be called a plocket 😂
Plocket 😂😂😂😂
Scissors asmr is so good!
Such a lovely outfit 😍
"Secret Trousers" works too.
What a wonderful video, thank you and well done. You know, if the Hotel is still in operation... you could reach out to their PR/Communications person/department and do a guided stroll around the facilities. Make another outfit to suit a different season so you can do repeated visits (that you can then partially write off on your taxes as a 'business expense'). In any event, looking forward to part 2.

Secret trousers I think is the way to go haha
I will probably do something like that in a future video (considering an islands trip or something) but this round we just cheekily filmed the outside haha
I really enjoyed the photography in this :)
hello,Lilja, splendid travel- ✨
Shhboop! = I'm folding the front waistband over 😂
Not to be confused with jjjjboop which means I'm marking the hem
Im glad my alien language is understandable 😂
I think I heard from someone else following an old victorianish drafting manual that there's another paragraph earlier in the book that explains that waist and hip etc should be taken to mean half waist or half hip. but for modern users who flip to the part they want and don't read it all front to back you keep running into the double waist problem.
Strange thing is there isn't one in mine, maybe it was "common knowledge" at the time or a previous publication by the same guy had that guidance, so they didn't think to include it 🤔 The bodice drafting instructions uses the full measurements as well which is strange,it's very wierd that only the trousers & (some of the) skirt is half 😂
More secret trousers!
Ohh Man, love the video, just subscribed!!
Very well done and absolutely lovely!
Beautiful video!
Hooray
Thank you for sharing your magical time travel experience with us!
So good! 😊
wow that hem marker is so interesting!!!
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed watching and listening to you as I did my own hand-sewing, you have quite the calming voice! Would you be able to tell me the brand/ type of the thimble you wear? I've been hunting for a thimble to suit me and I don't think I've seen one quite like yours before.
Thank you 😊 The thimble is a Prym brand! They come in three sizes too!
@@LiljaHusmo thank you for the reply! 😄
I watch all your videos. I think they're great!
Kudos Lilja 💪🏻 Did you use any lining in the trousers? 🤔
They're only lined at the hem as the wool was very soft on the skin 😊
Ha, my exam from patternmaking was like: oh yeaaaahy, high thonking
But on paper its look good
What does “secret pants” mean‽‽ The internet refuses to tell me.
In the UK pants are underwear, so all pants are secret hahaha
It's pleated, though, so will it really be too big?
The crotch seam would have been down at my knees, and the drafting lines weren't matching up as only some of the measurements were off, had they only been too wide that would be fine, but the angles didn't align either😊
@@LiljaHusmo Thank you! I think we must be related. I have the same hands and nails as you do!
