This is a tutorial i have spent a very long time looking for. Thanks so much, made my first one today, so great to have easy steps to follow...once i realised you were makjng more than 1 😂. So happy

It would be super helpful to use a liner fabric with a right/wrong side. I get mixed up with the muslin.

I love this video and method. Thank you!

Thank You 🥰 great job

Great Job

Thank You 💕

This was super helpful! I'm wanting to make this sontag as well, and it looks like my beginner self may be able to handle it!

so beautiful

Thanks for the link to scissors . Great job on ur project!!! Love it!!

If u were to choose a more modern fabric choice for this garmet what would you suggest? Im not convinced i want flannel.

Love this

I luv this - at this time I only crochet - do you have any ideas or patterns for that? This is so neat that you show patterns from ages ago - - - NICE

I'm taking a history of photography class and it's just so much less confusing and more interesting when you explained it.

Hey this is the first video I've seen of yours and I just want to say how much I enjoyed it. Thank you!👏👏

Hi Victoria, I am interested in what was used to hand colour the plates, I am interested in hand colouring some tintypes but not sure what is best to use? Very informative video!

I'm sad she hasn't posted in a while.

Ive spend this weekend binge watching your cocovid videos on early photography and really enjoyed them. I collect cabinet cards and in the past have attempted to find their living family members to return them to (I've only succeeded once to return one to their great granddaughter). I have one Ambrotype photo that was given to me by a camera shopkeeper in new mexico, which Ive been trying to research how to preserve/take care of. Are ambrotype photos as delicate as daguerreotype photos? Do you know of anyone who restores these types of photos or have any tips for fixing broken spines? How to your store your photo collection? The case you made is very impressive, I really hope you make a video someday on how to make cases! Thanks so much for these videos, they really are very informative.

Just subscribed I have tried to teach myself to knit can't do it good Lord you build, you sew ,knit what else can you do can you teach a knitting class ?you are blessed with so many talents!!!

Wow this was a fantastic video I loved everything about the build you were very good at explaining how things were done and why thank you for that and your studio came out magnificent what a wonderful family you have!!!God Bless each and everyone of you!!!🙏🏻❤️

Very informative, thank you!

I'm surprised that you didn't at least mention the modern version of stereocards, the ViewMaster.

Enjoyed your video. I’m currently knitting a Sontag. It’s variegated merino that I have washed, dyed, carded then spun . I’m in Australia

Thank you so much - I’m trying to crochet a Victorian sontag and it was not making much sense - I’m going to preserver now but I think it’s going to be child size cause the adapting from the patter to modern Australian wool and crochet hook sizes was not easy and the seller is in the USA and the pattern is 1800’s UK - 🤯

Thank you for sharing your lovely studio space.

I really did enjoy watching this and will follow your progress. I'm an enthusiastic amateur sewer so that's what grabbed my interest. Greetings from a little market town in North Wales UK. 🙋‍♂🙋‍♂

I love the fact that you found your happy space just for you. Thank you for letting me see what can be done.

Well done figuring that all out 🧶

Thank you very much for your fantastic series! I'm a collector myself, and looking at those images of real people who actually held those cases and images in their hands at some point, feels just like magic. Regarding hazardous chemicals: The George Eastman House recently published a video presenting an alternative method to developing a daguerreotype with mercury fumes, it's pretty amazing!

This is a very useful video, thank you. I loved seeing your hens in the tree as I've never seen any up a tree before. I would love to know which island you live on and where you are in the world. I've had a bad fall recently causing multiple fractures in my hands and arms but as soon as these are healed enough to get back to my hobbies I will enjoy making myself a lovely little sewing kit like the ones you've just made. God bless you from Vera in Northern Ireland

Thanks, Victoria! Very helpful in understanding the whole process of the different photo methods and photography. I have dozens of Cabinet Cards and a bit less of the CDVs. It is quite amazing to see how so many have survived the 100+ years of existence. in very good condition. I scan many of my Cabinet Cards and CDVs, posting them on Instagram, Facebook, and Flickr. Always fun doing the research to find out when they were taken and by what studio/photographer. Many of mine are from the Michigan area, so it is easy to track the photographers and studios since there is an online database listing 8,000 early photographers from 1840 to 1920 that practiced in Michigan, many of them in the Detroit area. But the challenge so far has been not finding any Cabinet Cards west of St. Louis. I never have found any from states like California, Texas, Nevada, Washington State, or other areas out west. Anyway, I have not found many stereo cards in my area, so I concentrate on only Cabinet Cards and CDVs. Keep up the great work 👍

Great video! I love your fearless attitude!

Would people carry these cases/images in a pocket or purse of some sort? Or would they more likely put them on display at home?

You rock!

I’ve seen what you talked about re: color rendering. My grandma was born in 1926; I’ve seen a scanned photo of her wearing what appears to be a VERY dark dress for a school social event, so probably early 1940s? When asked, she said she was pretty sure it was a red dress, that she had made. My jaw dropped. RED!? Yup.

That’s very nice for a first try on a shawl. I crochet and knitting seems so very complicated that I don’t think I can learn it without in person direction. Great work and patience on your part.

I have quite a bit of Cabinet Cards. What I hate in antique stores is they confuse the Victorian and Edwardian time periods, I'll see a lot of things that say 1905 or near that date "Victorian" whatever the item is, I'm like "Again?" I mean if it has a date on it look up the time period, it isn't that hard.

Is there any substitute for wool felt? All the felt fabrics I can find are synthetic.

Super beautiful, and much hard work! 💪💪👋👋👋👋👋👋👋❤❤❤❤

I admire the fact that you just jumped in and made the sontag. It is really beautiful!!

So glad I just discovered your channel. I’ve been collecting Tintypes, Ambrotypes and Daguerreotypes for about 7 years. There’s just something very special about them. I’ve done a course on making dag cases, still have to have my photo taken one day! Ive added your suggested books to my Christmas list. Your video is insightful and a joy to listen to, keep up the great videos. Your newest subscriber :)

Just came across your channel and l love it! : D Especially pastry Friday.

You are so talented! I just came across your channel this morning by searching making a shawl! I do see as well but I’m not that advanced. You are amazing.

I really want to make this, but I haven't made a blouse before, and have only made one circle skirt (and my friend helped me). I have, however, made an Edwardian corset. Do you think I can pull it off?

This came up recommended for me...I've been trying to work out a crochet version. You inspired me to keep going! I knit forever and took my needles and wool sox everywhere I went! But my arthritic hands have let me down. Now I can only crochet. Thanks!

Love the name you gave to this sewing book

Thank you for sharing your sewing studio and vintage sewing machines with us. So amazing that you built that! And I also enjoyed seeing your other hobbies, Wow! A suggestion for a place to hang your petticoats and other makes- put in a pole near your ceiling, in the corner by the empty frame over the window. That might a good place go vertical. Oh, and I love your view!

Hi thanks for this - finding these processes explained in an accessible way was very helpful for something I'm working on for the likes of me!

Your studio looks peaceful & a perfect place to create The cutting/drafting table is wonderful, especially the butcher block top.
