    I stumbled on your channel today and I've been watching your videos in every spare moment I've had - your aesthetic is simply alluring. Lavishly ornamental yet alluringly understated. Your process is alluring and your editing is addictive to watch. This video in particular is next-level. I've watched it 3 times already today. It's bold and confident - the close ups with the strong statements and the soft soundtrack take what could have been a generic "tidy with me" vlog and instead make it a dynamic, refreshing work of art. This video shines because you sound like you (quite rightly) know your work is excellent. Bravo. Can't wait to see what you do next.

    You should have hundreds of thousands of subscribers! Not because I believe that is the only or most important metric of success, I just think your videos hold such a high artistic value and deserve to be enjoyed by a large amount of people. I hope every creative soul that appreciates this level of craftsmanship finds your channel! You inspire me so much, my favorite TH-cam channel ever. Every video you post is such a precious gem <3

    • @victoriajin
      @victoriajin 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      aw thank you! I believe I did one part vinegar to three parts water and it worked great, but I also saw others doing one part vinegar to 2 parts water. I think you can try both and see which works better for your fabric and your oven!

  • @wearetemporary
    @wearetemporary 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I was wondering what you thought of the following idea I had: While examining the traditional process of crating pleated fabrics and large garments like Miyake I quickly realized that a domestic oven was simply way too small to accommodate the long templates (often 4-6 feet tall). Bummer, right? But then it occurred to me that saunas are typically in the 150-180 degree Fahrenheit range and, of course, also produce plenty of steam… or were you talking about 150 degree Celsius? If the latter, a sauna probably won’t be hot enough, right? Do you think using a sauna to pleat traditional-style, bound cardboard templates could work? Especially if one placed the bound cardboard/fabric templates in a corner away from the immediate heat source to encourage a more even heating of the pleats? I’m inclined to try and smuggle a single bounded bundle into my gym when it’s slow and give it a try :).

    • @victoriajin
      @victoriajin 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I love this wellness take on pleating! Yes I researched and found it best at 150 CELSIUS* not Fahrenheit. Sauna is usually 40 degrees celsius no? Might not be hot enough but I'd love to hear your field report!

    • @wearetemporary
      @wearetemporary 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ Yeah, when I thought of the sauna I had mistaken the temperature scales. Pretty sure the sauna won’t be nearly hot enough, not even at max temperatures of around 180. Everything I’ve read confirms the numbers you suggest in your video: 150 Celsius / 300 Fahrenheit. Nice as the sauna would be, I think one would get better results using a traditional garment steamer and at least 10 minutes worth of patience :).

    Thank you for this amazing video! I loved learning about the origins of pleats. I have two questions: Will your pleats remain bouncy and intact, as shown at the end of the video, even after sewing them into a garment and wearing it? Also, at what point did you remove the basting thread?

  • @ninetenscoffee5780

    i don't know if it applies to any type of clothes but i resewn my old pair of trousers by hand, cut all the machined thread, take all the parts, then handsewn them back. when it's done, i wear it and to my surprise it was noticeably more comfortable.
