I decided to make Blackbeard's coat from the fifth episode of Our Flag Means Death! This is the fancy embroidered coat that Blackbeard wears when boarding the French ship! In this episode, I discuss the history behind these coats as well as the reasons I had for changing up the time period.

Never apologize for not wearing make up, you have the right to not make yourself look pretty for others. You deserve to be appreciated however you look and we will watch and enjoy your videos regardless
Yes!!!
Came on here to say the same. I think she is lovely with or without makeup. She literally has the BEST sm8le on TH-cam!
Thank you so much guys!!! :D
replying to heartily agree
I think she looks absolutely great without makeup!
That looks so amazing! The 1700s is such a good era for men's wear. I love seeing you make clothing from this period and that embroidery is awesome
It’s so beautiful and the little gummy bears are so adorable 🥰😄
So cute! Id be fascinated how you went about digitizing the pattern and adding them in.
That casual “they haven’t gotten to the death part yet” got me!💀 😅 But, as always, lovely work!
This coat is GLORIOUS! I'm just nuts about embroidery so this coat has me drooling. I was really surprised that those darts went in so unobtrusively. I thought there was no way that could look anything but obviously mismatched! I'm very excited about the finished product!
Thanks for the shoutout!! The coat looks beautiful, and what a brilliant idea to sign your name under the pocket flap!
Can you perhaps cut the pattern from the armscye to the tip of the bust dart and rotate the extra material around to there, so next time the dart can go on the plain part of the front and won't interrupt the embroidery?
I love that black dress with the double puffed sleeves at 9:19!
Ahh! Thank you so much! That’s a really interesting idea - I’ve never done anything like that! I’ll try it though!
@@Sewstine Yay! Good luck!
We did a whole bunch of different pattern alterations in my college Fashion course, and rotating darts was definitely one of the easier ones.
Every time you mention that on top of what you do here and your job you also have a kid, my head starts spinning a little from the amazement I feel. I don't know how you manage to do all of this with 24 hours in the day, but I'm very grateful you let us be part of your costuming adventures.
I loved seeing that your husband's coat appeared to be in a museum exhibit. Your work is so absolutely exquisite that museums should request to have your pieces on loan. I just hope they don't think that they should let just anyone touch it because it's a "new historically accurate/inspired reproduction."
OMFG I ADORE HOW IT TURNED OUT!!! ALSO, LOVE OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH, ITS SO FUNNY 💖💖💖
Ok this is glorious!! "The darts aren't HA but they're for me, which is not HA either" - love it
This is a breathtaking garment made with love by a stunning, gifted woman! #RoleModels ❤️🙏🏼🌷💕🤩
So cool to see you doing OFMD!!! I love that you appreciate the show's approach to historical inaccuracy while also exploring the actual accuracy. Can't wait to see more 🏴☠💜
Wearable and beautiful! I love the idea of inserting Easter Eggs (aka gummies) in the pattern. While an adorable way to honor your child, it also verifies any compliments that includes mention of the gummies, you know that they REALLY looked at the garment.❤
That white suit he wears to the bar is just stunning. I’d kill to have it.
I feel an intense fabric envy for that silk brocade.
This coat is magnifique! (Sorry I am French and I just can not find the right translation to this word right now). You never cease to amaze me! Thank you for creating beauty and for sharing it with us. 💖
Magnificent, probably 😉 And yeah, it definitely is.
I wouldn't change the word, since it is based on French Court dress, it is appropriate!
@@m.maclellan7147 True!
I love those pockets!! and the whole thing! But those pocket? Gorgeous!!
Horizontal darts!
Am about to cut out the mock up of that same Black Snail pattern for a suit; was in a quandary about the boobs. How serendipitous that Sewstine shows up like my sewing fairy godmother to tell me the HA fix! Was going to do a full bust adjustment but it seemed hinky for an older method of making clothes.
Thank you! 🧚♂️✨
That coat is GLORIOUS!
Thank you!
The absolute glee you have is priceless.... !
OK but can we talk about how cute it looks over a dress?
There are some serious Izzy Hands vibes in the sleeves of the black gown you wore while cutting out!
Thanks Sewstine! This was good motivation to finish my own coat.
Your skill and enthusiasm takes my breath away. So happy I've found your channel.
If I ever ran into Sewstine at a historical cosplay event I’d probably end up hunting for evil gummies, they’re so dang cute 😊
Hitting it out of the park with this coat!! So well done as always ❤
I'm really starting to think I need one of those embroidery machines LOL! Looks awesome!
I was trying to count how many needles there were. 9 or 10?
your son is right, gummies are the best thing ever 💜💜💜💜
It looks amazing!!!
The gummy bears are adorable!!!
I’m looking forward to the rest!!!
looks amazing! I love your attention to detail. Drooling over the lushness of this coat!
Those are some really nice pockets on that coat.
This might be one of my most favorite embroidery projects I have seen from you!!! Love love love the pattern and the colors 🥰
its on the BBC this week !!!!!! so british humans can watch it now its so so goof
wow the sleeves are such a neat magic trick. So fitted, yet it seems like you have plenty of movement to, e.g. swing a sword. Lovely work!
SO beautiful. Every single one of your embroidery coats I want. This one is my favorite though I think because purple is my favorite color! Wow.
I’m so glad I found your channel and your beautiful craftsmanship. I’m also applying to medical school this cycle and love period costumes!
The coat looks gorgeous! I'm always so impressed that so many people got inspired by this show, I even made my own coat inspired by it
Omg it looks so AMAZING!! 😍😍 I can’t even imagine how many hours of work this took - or how many it would have taken them!😮
This might be my favorite project you’ve done. The embroidery is insane!!! Gorgeous!
Lovely coat. The embroidery is fabulous.
I love your embroidery videos. I saw you switched from a Brother embroidery to a Babylock. Can you do a review on them?
What a gorgeous coat! I wish I had more hours in the day to do even a fraction of needlework, let alone sewing. (I work two jobs) Thank you for all of your hard work in doing what you do and for showing us this coat. I can't wait to see the finished piece. I did notice that you were in your old sewing room in parts of this video, but then it looks like you are in a new place now? The room with the large windows is gorgeous, is that the old house or the new? and that gorgeous black dress with those sleeves! Is that one you made? Looking forward to the next time I see a video from you, and maybe a new look at the new sewing room? Hugs and Love, Jen
You are so skilled! Such an inspirational and educational video. Can't get enough of your projects. Sewstine, you're amazing!
Absolutely love that you signed your work!
I absolutely love the pockets ! They look gorgeous, I want to add some like that to a garment now :) and so cute that you can add a little message underneath the flap
Those colours!!! The embroidery with the purple is just a wonderful pairing!
Thank you!!
Another home run! Its just beautiful…wow weee! I love watching your channel….you inspire me to organize my life better and find contentment in making beautiful things. Thank you! 😍😍😍
oooh that coat looks absolutely lovely
17th century men’s jackets give me chills, hnnnggg so pretty
mad envy, this is gorgeous!!!
I love that you're signing your work. More of Cos Tube needs to be doing this... Absolutely stunning work, as always. Just jaw dropping. Never apologize for taking your time on a project - what you're doing is modeling that this stuff simply does not happen overnight. Here's to healthy creating...
_Technical Question_ - How much does the embroidery distort the fabric, even with the help of the tearaway interfacing? I have a project that I'm working on, a 1950's weskit, that I plan on quilting in the style of the Tristan Quilt for the FR Competition. Right now I'm attempting to guess at how much extra fabric to leave on the preliminary cut pieces to accommodate any shifting of the fabric when I quilt into the wadding and cotton layer underneath. Because, if I get to the end of the quilting and find I don't have any seam allowance left... let's just say the world chocolate supply will be in danger...
Historically they replaced coat linings. Well. Consider my mind blown. Of course they did, it's the most elegant solution to an ongoing problem of slightly acidic human sweat and oils...
- Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
Thank you so much Cathy! So I usually add about 3-5% to the length because of the distortion. But it’s Sooooo hard to predict. But yes - I make it about 2-3” longer and then cut down what I don’t need. Good luck!!!!
@@Sewstine Thanks! Yeah, I was guessing 2-5" extra fabric (length & width). The fish are going to be hand embroidered because that just seems simpler than trying to free-hand-quilt them on the machine. The water will be entirely by free-hand. That part I'm looking forward to playing with. It all seems relatively simple in my head. But I have some chocolate on standby... because... I'll be experimenting with the final fabric... samples will only get me so far, I'm afraid.
Thanks again!
You design incredible embroideries, this was eye popping 👀.... Fantastic 😍 but the gummy bears 🐻 😍😍😍
I also love your black dress, the sleeves are gorgeous ... Can you tell me what pattern you used!
Just stunning!! I do love how you break down your process, even though I have no way to duplicate it!! You are very soothing to watch!!❤️
Well said!💜
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creation!
It’s looking so good! Amazing work!! 🤗
I watched OFMD in one sitting, and it reawakened a severe need to make my own wrapping gown to swoop around the house in.
Sublime !! Bravo !!!
Wow you did this before e going to Versailles that was ambitious…Black Snail is the best and easiest pattern to follow.
Ahh this so such a fun project!!!! And the coat looks beautiful!!!
Looking absolutely amazing. I want one now... Going to get my materials.
Perfect timing, I finished OFMD last night!
i only just finished watching the show this week, so its amazing to find a recent historical costume related video with it! the coat looks absolutely gooorgeous ❤ i'm also intrigued by seeing an embroidery machine at work for the first time :o
I love the dress you are wearing at 9:18! Were did you get it? Or did you make it? Love the video. Never mind. I see it in the discription. Thanks a lot!
Absolutely incredible!! Your take on a court coat is what first brought me to your channel, and this one is beyond beautiful.
Gorgeous fabric, embroidery and total coat. Did it receive the Elspeth and Knightley Paw of Approval as well as Gideon's? Was this made in old or new home?
omg, i just love it!! the embroidery is so over-the-top extravagant! love all the colors. love the choice of brocade for the body fabric, too--it adds a touch of interest. you make me want one of these coats for myself!
Not me thinking about sewing a court suit to wear at my sister's wedding.
That's going to be gorgeous!!
Oh my goodness, stunning coat ❤️
Absolutely fabulous!
Absolutely incredible!!! xxx
This is absolutely beautiful. You have inspired me to start making my own embroidery files. I've started with some simple ones, but next I'm digitizing my cousins tattoos to embroider on her ceil for her wedding. I can't wait.
Someone local to me is selling an embroidery machine & I must say I am tempted ! But, not sure.. .then Sewstine does THIS !!!!???
Right?!
oh my god pleeeease make video about this gorgeous black dress you're wearing 🙏🙏🙏
literally my dream dress🖤✨
It’s from I Do Declare!
It's stunning, and your embroidery always blows my mind!
xoxo's Sandie
Amazing embroidery. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A truly exquisite coat. Worth every minute.
I’m so envious you have an embroidery machine …I would do a hand embroidery but imagine how long that would take me. Wonderful piece you’ve made; can’t wait to see the final product. I’m working on a Summer weight stripped cotton woven fabric similar to the cut of your jacket. It’s a light tan background with golden camel and navy blue colored stripes of varying thickness. I chose a light weight navy woven wool with extreme basket inter woven pattern for the border of the coat and will follow with waistcoat and breaches in the same. I only have the patience to hand embroider the front of the waistcoat ( will do Navy silk on the Navy wool ) but as this is more of an American 1790’s style they were less flamboyant & I might get away with it. Thanks for your video and putting me in contact with Black Snail Patterns. It’s all very helpful.
You are an astonishingly accomplished person! The coat is amazing!
This show is FINALLY coming out in the UK and I am soooo hyped
Holy cow it's so gorgeous!! Can't wait to see your ensemble finished. This purple suit is one of my favorite costumes from the show too 🤩
This looks incredible
I fell in love with the black dress you're wearing from 9:20. I guess that you made that yourself too, right? The neckline and sleeves are so beautiful. I want one too. 😫
It's actually from a shop called I Do Declare! They do some really beautiful items, I'm hoping to get a blouse from them someday!
@@elinagrooman6301 Wow, thanks for letting me know!!!
Hi! Yes! I do declare - I’m sooo in love with all their dresses! Sorry- I only usually link the dresses I wear for the narration frame - but I do have a few where I narrate wearing this dress too. Highly recommend following I do declare on IG so you know when they restock!
Fantastique! I can't wait until the next video. Your work is so well done, and inspires me to return to gold thread embroidery. Thank you.💜
Love the coat! It looks incredible on you!
Looks incredible!
Wonderful new video! So, are you in New Jersey? Do you have a new sewing room? Looking forward to seeing all.
Beautiful!
Happy New Year! I’ve missed your videos and also, great selection in today’s video.
Beautiful work! 😍
Hi - lovely and can’t wait to see more. I am debating making a French court suit for myself for later this year.
However, I’d love to know about your red linen dress you wear in part of the video - did you make it or where did you get it? It looks lovely and comfy too. I think I need it for my summer wardrobe - which feels silly to say with snow falling outside today but so be it.
Thanks so much!
This is going to be beautiful! It is already beautiful. :)
This looks Amazing!!
I really like the coat
The coat is absolutely fabulous! 👏🏽
Such beautiful work!
Just curious if you were to wear your 18th Century stays underneath if it might help to flattern the natural chest and eliminate the need for bust darts?
Nice piece you made! I very much like that you set the sleeves in with ease on top to make the slim 18th century shoulders work. And the darts are a smart idea to make this men´s coat work on a female figure. As there isn't more so far, I don´t know if you did it but the padding in the collar bone area could also be adapted to help the shape along. And using buckram is a very good thing. While one could use modern interfacing, it never really looks or drapes like the historical variant.
Now a few things I noticed. It´s not meant to be negative but something to watch out for in the future. The pocket´s on you coat appear to be quite high, a lot higher than typical. In general the pockets were situated surprisingly low, a good bit below the actual waist, creating a "false waistline" making the body look longer/taller. A solution to work around that in embroidering and maybe circumvent any issues in fit could be to follow the way the embroidery was done historically. Not in one piece as with this coat, but in two pieces, often with the embroidery around the pocket opening as another separate part, all of which would be pieced together later into the front panel. This was done historically as most embroidery was not done bespoke, but in a "pre-made" embroidery panel that would be cut up and fitted to a person. And this would not only give a lot more tolerance for your embroidery and the ability to change things after it is done, but also make it easier as it is two or three pieces, not one very large one.
The lining is another one. No fault there at all, it´s down to a lot of outdated/wrong information still being out there, even in professional sources. Coats and waistcoats would not be lined in linen, at least fully, especially those like the one you made. The majority of the lining would be either some kind of worsted (wool often "shalloon") or some form of silk. This would be everywhere the lining would become visible while wearing it. The back without the skirt/flaps and the sleeves would be lined in some form of unbleached linen, for the practical function and because it was much cheaper.
Although I get using linen there, because getting a wool or fitting silk nowadays that works for lining is really, really hard.
Aaaannnndd she's baaaaack!!!!
Those pockets are huge!!!!
