I'm so excited to go on this journey❤❤

You forgot to put the spring on the water hose near the iron.

Thank you for this very interesting video. I wish I had seen it sooner. I started with the jp ryan pattern for my very first sewing project and I am having some trouble adjusting the shoulder strap to prevent any gaping. I will definitely look at the other patterns in the future as I'm really interesting in learning the historical method of assembly.

i love your side-by-side comparison strategy. thank you for sharing!🤍✏️

If the back panel has to stay exactly where it is, why is it most common for stays to lace at the back ? Front lacing stays are both easier to do on oneself and it looks more sensible to widen the gap at the front, forcing the arms back to some degree than it is to push the back on the sides '(although come to think of it i made myself was a pair of 18th century stays that laced both ways as my first piece of corsetry, the back panel warped terribly so i added the gap i thought i needed in the front and now the tabs for the straps fall almost under my armpits *cringing face*)

The spring coil thing is designed to slide over the silicon hose at the iron end of the hose to prevent kinks.

Maybe she did

Very interesting video! I enjoyed watching it! 😊 Btw in 18th century descriptions of wanted criminals from Germany, you can find a lot of different chintz being combined.

A wonderful discussion especially because of the Dutch focus. Also fascinating to have outlined is the process whereby the desire to monopolise a trade sector by a trading company eventually led to the development of colonial structures at the national level.

Thank you for doing this series. It is both utterly fascinating and very helpful. 🙏😊💐

Thank you for such a fabulous research .

Another element of what is considered "historically accurate" in costuming circles at any given time is that it can lead to everyone looking the same, to an event being filled with versions of the same 4 Williamsburg prints. It gets restrictive IMO

This information has been invaluable for newbies. I intuitively selected the right pattern and book to guide my beginnings, and now having watched your very informative video, I feel confident in my choices. It have. Me the validation I needed to start. Thank you kindly. ❤

Only just found your channel - thank you for excellent content and clear explanation.

Such good info. And your voice is so lovely. It almost put me to sleep, in a good way.

Thanks for this information and laying out a clear path to get started. I heard that the Larkin and Smith pattern was good, but the smallest size is for someone with a 34 chest measurement, so I decided to go with JP Ryan because they had size 32. I didn't realize the L&S pattern came with an instruction book! I already have the American Duchess book. I'm thinking that I might get the L&S pattern for the instructions, but use the JP Ryan pattern I already have. I also saw someone on TH-cam make an Italian gown from Scroop patterns which also comes with a book. I'm not sure exactly what's in the book, but it looked like a lot of information. And they have patterns for chest size 30 which is exactly my size in stays (although I might have to make the waist a little bigger.) I'm still working on all my under clothes, so I still have a little while to decide on the gown.

So would you prefer to take measurements over an existing pair of stays or natural measurements/wearing a shift? Before I embark on a new pair because my old ones are miles too big now haha

Que projeto maravilhoso. Quero ser uma corsetmaker e ninguém ensina modelagem aqui no TH-cam. Que projeto maravilhoso. Acompanhando até o fim, esses e outros projetos. Beijos do Brasil🇧🇷

That background music is TOO MUCH! Please lower the sound or delete. You don't need it and it is VERY annoying.

Elegantly done. As always. <3

Parts 1 and 2 in this series show the process up to the point where all the pattern pieces are drawn, in the way they curve around the body, so all the pieces are touching and in some places even overlapping. Here in Part 3, I show how to separate them so that they can actually be used to cut your materials. One thing I forget to mention: these pieces are exactly the size needed on the body. So you need to trace around the pieces on your materials - and then add your seam allowances between cutting out! Let me know in the comments if there's anything else about the process that I may have left out.

Thank you for this lovely tutorial. I had my mini sample and followed along. I must admit, I’m amazed at how easy and how quickly these stitches come togethr

I wonder if you can clear up a question I have. Is there a page of the book or other resource that fully explains the measurement taking process? On page 155 they ask you to take measurements for “width from CB to edge of armhole”, do they mean from CB to first center line you drafted (what you might consider a side seam in a contemporary pattern)? If not, how would one determine “edge of armhole”? Thanks for your help!

Thank you so much. Sometimes the creative process takes a different arc than we expect. Always a pleasure to see.

I've got a head cannon for the first stitch: it's the same as the one Thérèse de Dillmont refers to as "antique or old-german seam" and Bertha Banner as "old german stitch". They apply it to joining two pieces by the selvedge, so it's just "skip one and prick through the other", but "skip one and prick through the others" is not a big stretch. In french, Dillmont calls it "surjet antique", so I guess it's where her first designation comes from, and the second may be more idiomatic in english. I suspect that she may have reverse - engineered it since she says: "Seams of this kind occur in old embroidered linen articles, where the stuff was too narrow to allow for any other." For the second, the french source is Garsault's 1769 "L'Art du tailleur", published by the Academy of science in a series on trades, and not Diderot, who finished working on the Encyclopedia in 1765, and is not responsible for the borrowing of Garsault's work for the "supplement" in the following decade. He describes two types of stitches "à rabattre" (hemming) and "à rentraire" (felling) : the first is just a running stitch through both fabric, when they are level (for example when they will be encased in a ribbon or, for felling a seam, with smaller, almost invisible stitches) called "sur la main" or on the hand, the second, that you showed in the video, "sous la main" or under the hand, when the main fabric is somewhat proud of the lining. He describes it being made from the outside of the garment and not from the lining side. So I guess "underhand hem" is the most direct translation, but since we don't have a modern french equivalent, some of the meaning may have been lost to time.

So much great information bundled into one video! Great details...thanks!

This music is irritating. Ugh. Love watching you but I can’t with the music

Wow! What a wonderful video! Beautiful, educational and entertaining. Well done!

Would it help to enlarge the drawing pointed to at 41:03, via a copier/scanner?

Thank you so much!! It is a lot easier for me to follow along with you than try to figure out the directions from the book. I do have a couple questions though about the front and back peaks. I understand these lengths are up to personal preference and style but which measurement does A to I represent (front peak)? Is it the waist to underarm? And the back peak was "waist to centre back" but I'm not entirely sure where "centre back" refers to.

Always a pleasure watching you work the process! Looking forward to part three!

Part 2 of this series finishes the work involved in drafting the famous arcs that give this method its name. What did you find most helpful about the way I explained my process? Let me know in the comments!

It's so interesting being able to follow along not just your drafting but also the thought process behind it and all the little tweaks!

I absolutely value watching an expert making a mistake much more than watching an expert be perfect. Because I learn how an expert recognizes a mistake has been made and how that expert finds a way to correct the mistake. This is an important life lesson.

It’s always a pleasure watching you work. Such a dedication to detail.

this is just amazing! thank you very much for uploading it, and welcome back to youtube 💙

Why not draw the arc by using a string secured at the focus (front focus is found by finding the point that the front angle crosses the center line, and back focus the where the back angle crosses the center line, respectively)?

“…..bit of a cliffhanger.” Love it!

I was just watching your previous arc method video yesterday! Perfect timing, and such an informative video.

I've been sewing for a number of years but just two weeks ago I thought I'd like to hand sew a shirt, I'm now going to watch all your channel to see if I can get it right, first time

Yes, human models are steadier on their feet. But they scream a lot louder when you stick pins in them. I really do need to get a custom mannequin so I can cut shapes that are my shape. Thanks for the video.

Excelente tutorial👍

This is so helpful as I'm working on the stays you drafted for me! YAY!

This is so wonderful! Loved the Music too! I'd love to have toe process explained! This is just amazing! Thank you!

I LOVE this video! Liked, Subscribed, and Clicked the Notification Bell! Very happy to be here! Thank you so much!

ราคาเท่าไรค่ะ

you’re a wonderful set of the most delightful beings! Thank you!

It goes bottle, black tube, filter and then the hose to iron, I figured that out after cutting off a short amount of hose…

While I am not going to be making a tartan gown, I am making a wool gown that’s sort of between designs (I want to go with what a relative of mine would have worn during the 1770s as a middling sort in New York). She was a tavern owner and ran a small hospital during the revolutionary war. I have been researching what she would have likely worn and the answer is likely a refitted English gown that would be a early Italian gown. Hence my interest in the Isabella gown

I really enjoyed this but there was an uncomfortable moment where she seemed to do her best to put off blame for slavery. I know I’m late to this and I could be misunderstanding.
