Ever wonder what people DO once they've finished making those pretty costumes? Well, I'll show you! Although if I'm out on a road trip, and there's a house museum or National Park historical site on the way, there will be some detours. And I'm happy to share my sewing secrets, if you're interested in coming out and playing dressup, too!
How to Make Men's Renaissance Pants
To go with the Renaissance doublet video, here's the bottom half of the costume!
Inside stories not captured on video: I had to do a lot of stitch ripping on this. First time, I assembled the side seams wrong. When I shipped the costume to Tony, the box arrived badly damaged, one side completely ripped open, and the codpiece was missing so I had to make him another one. So in the last video when he models everything, you'll see he's not wearing the codpiece, since the second one was still en route to him and not installed yet. And the sleeves are too long in this video, I'm going to shorten them for him.
All sewing is a work in progress.

How to Polka Like a German

Every year on the second full weekend in August, the Dayton Liederkranz-Turner throws the GermanFest Picnic! Thousands of people descend on the St Anne's Hill neighborhood clubhouse for freshly-fried schnitzel, pretzels, beer (and lovely German wines for people like me who don't drink much beer! :-) and live music! The bands always rock it out, but a lot of people, sadly, don't know how to polk...

Wow
Hahahahaha me too!😊
gorgeous sewing! Handsome model.
You look like you would be the headmistress from The Secret Garden.
I was more wondering what that jar with a face was for. It looks pretty gnarly. 😂
And perfect!
grandma ate with this outfit 💖
Oh my gosh! You are very talented and beautiful. You've got one heck of a sewing hand if you're able to make such a beautiful dress!
Beautiful!❤
Stunning
Lovely! You are so talented 🧵 🪡
Great work, Jeanette!
@@sweetpeabrown261 thank you!
Ooo that fabric!
Pointless waste of time. It's a great house, and it would have been great to learn something -- anything -- about it.
Girl, what amazing work!!
Aw, thanks!
So talented!! 💕
Thank you! <3

What a fun evening of dance. The jaunty music was really cool, and with the pirates dancing about it felt like we were in an episode of Our Flag Means Death 😄
Lol! That IS what the evening felt like...
this looks like so much fun! thank you for sharing your knowledge!
It's my great pleasure! Thank you for sharing my love of dressing up with me!
This looks like great fun. I worked at dickens Faire in the 1980’s and fezziwigs Ball was a favorite place to dance between our shows. I’d love to go to a party like this
It was worth the plane trip to go. It was an absolutely magical evening!
A very nice video of a very nice event! Three cheers for Erica, Joan, and Gordon!
Erica is so beautiful in this video! I'm glad everything went great!!
Hip, hip, HOORAY! Hip, hip, HOORAY! Hip, hip, HOORAY!!
Yay! I am inspired to find a sari to work with now!
If you ever find yourself in Chicago, Devon Street has a lot of good shopping. Of course you never know when you won’t find a fabulous sari at a thrift store! Happy hunting!
The crawling under the chair thing it's not weird, it's called a crawling baby or toddler. 😂
Sean is correct. It's a rumble seat because of the greater level of vibration and noise as compared to the backseat of a sedan or 5 passenger coupe . The red *hexagon* in the center of the wheel hub on the earlier Packards and the hubcaps and wheel covers of the later Packards comes from the early days in Warren, Ohio. When a car was assembled and passed the final inspection, the inspector would paint the hexagons red. The station sedan (wagon) you showed was was a "Standard" level and was unchanged from 1948 through 1950 except that some _may_ have been equipped with Packard's Ultramatic transmission. The Ultramatic was close enough to the GM Hydramatic design that Packard was sued by GM for patent infringement. Actually, the nicest thing I have seen written about Ultramatic performance is that it was built "for leisurely acceleration". I bought a 1949 Packard Standard Touring Sedan (4 door) in St, Agatha, Ontario, Canada and drove it to Detroit, Michigan the first night I had it. With Ultramatic and a 288 CID inline 8, but no dash lights, I checked the gauges with a flashlight. Maybe the car was excited to be going home, but it kept sneaking up to 100 mph. People who have ridden in it say it's smoother and more comfortable than a new car. Packard: Ask The Man Who Owns One.
“Leisurely acceleration” lmao!! Thank you so much for confirming the rumble seat, the story about how the red hexagon got started on the hub caps, and your experience owning a Packard!
I really enjoyed the narration that made seeing the Packard much more meaningful than just a car.!
I just shared your comment with Sean, our expert, he just said, "It's not just a CAR - it's a PACKARD!" You can just hear the love in his voice with every sentence he utters about Packards.
@@historyismyplayground1827 Sean is correct again! In a movie set in the 1930s, the lady of the house tells the maid to have the chauffeur bring up the Packard. The other car that gets this treatment is "the Rolls."
Okay so i misspoke at 9:47, I said C pillar but i meant to say B pillar.
Thank you for putting the correction in here! Now I want to know just how many people noticed…or know enough to realize your error.
If the 56 you drove to the museum is yours, I hope the oil pump has been fitted with a steel plate to replace the original pot metal plate. Sometimes, the pot metal plates allowed air to be pulled into the pump. Custom Auto on French Street in Santa Ana, California used to stock replacement steel plates. And, certainly feel free to delete this comment if you feel it inappropriate to the channel. Edit: You may also be interested in the YT video _Packard Returns_ about an effort to start production of an recreation of an early 1930s Packard.
I love the ending! You're right, it was funnier that way.
I figured I might as well share all the messy parts with people…
Such wholesome tutorial❤
I get called wholesome before - which is funny for someone talking about underwear online...
@@historyismyplayground1827 this would be scandalous in the 1860s 🤣
@@manvendrasingh3705 I suppose it depends on the context...
that looks like so much fun and YOU look FABULOUS!
Thank you! It was a LOT of fun. You really should come to dance…. :-D
There are several Sears homes in the Midwest
where is this located?
It would be cheaper to build.
You got some good shots of the museum.
It was so neat to get the backstage tour!
Wow that was a narrow gauge train!
What did they use such narrow gauges for? It seems like the narrower the tracks, the more dangerous they would be....
The dress turned out very nice!
This one was the hardest to make of the 5 dresses I made for the museum, but it's my favorite. Is it because I really like the colors and the cute bow at the neck, or is it because it was the most trouble to make....
I love the green color and the different patterns of the material. Let Marilyn know when you are going to be in Dayton, she has two bags of Vintage Costume Jewelry for you.
Ooooo! Jewelry!
I loved the video, but had a ton of trouble with the narration, as it seems she doesn't have much idea about what she's talking about. I gave it a thumbs up just because of the memories it has stirred up in me of many trips to The United States Air Force Museum. The only thing better than trips to this museum is flying.
I will happily admit I don't know what I'm talking about. Social history, clothing history, dance history, sure. Technology is a hard nope. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to go play in the history museums and post video for those who want to fill in the details. Everyone else is posting stories filling in the gaps: you want to join in? What is your favorite piece of early aviation history?
Bockscar dropped the Fat Man bomb on Nagasaki. You can see Enola Gay at the NASM Udvar-Hazy annex at Dulles. Knowing, as of now, that America remains the only country to have ever employed nuclear weapons in a war still boggles my mind.
Yup. Knowing it is a ticklish subject, I didn't say much. People who know, know. People who want to look it up, now they know more.
The lozenge camo scheme was actually effective in making the D.VII harder to see from the ground. In fact, in WWI, some British planes were painted pink and it was actually better than painting it blue to blend in with the sky.
That's really wild! How does that work....? This is hurting my brain.... I really want to see this concept in action.
Regarding the rotory engines, yes, they used castor oil for lubrication. It was also a total loss system, so the oil was constantly flung out and into the pilot's face. The solution to preventing sudden-onset diarrhea was the scarf. The scarf looks cool, but it was a necesity if the pilot didn't want to make poopy in his pants.
I am never going to see a photo with those sexy aviator's scarves the same way....
AWESOME MUSEUM plan for a day and charger for your phone/camera
You can do the museum in one day!?!?
The correct pronunciation of Mississinewa is Miss-issin-Ewa. Glad you like our little tribute to history along the banks of my childhood home. My youngest son was in the Boy Scouts that goes around the festival and pick up the trash, and the parents watch the gates next to the battle field and directs participants and spectators in the right direction. I personally volunteered several times on Saturday morning at the gate on the south end of the battle ground, love them cannons.
Oops! I was trusting the pronunciation of other Indiana natives. Your "little tribute to history" is one MAJOR event! That takes a LOT of people a lot of work. Which shows.
@@historyismyplayground1827 it looked like perfect weather for you. I remember one year, it rained so hard people were getting stuck in the mud, trash trucks and the trucks that suck out the Porta pottys couldn't get up the hill on the north end of the festival area. But the show went on...lol.
I believe the Focker D7 was multicolored to represent von Richtophen's flying circus squadron.
Thank you for the extra details! Now I get to go look that up…
Nice
Thanks! It was such a treat to get to see this!
Love thank you
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Reminds me of Philadelphia! What a charming place!
You can certainly see a lot in common in architecture in all the 13 colonies.
❤
Hey you caught my little bow when I came back from the dead at 7:55!
Excellent! Very stylish recovery. Well done, sir!
@@historyismyplayground1827 Haha thank you. Ive been going to this event for the past 5 years and its always a blast. Playing soldier, the rain on Saturday just made the whole event more immersive. 2023 Mississenawa has been the best year for that event!
Make sure any fellow combatants on the field with you get to see their performances, too!
"PromoSM" 😅
You did a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of Mississinewa 1812...thank you, Jeanette!
My pleasure! I didn't know what to expect when I came... what a delightful event!!
