WELL DONE! Not only do i respect your integrity regarding Copyright but it has also explained why there has been no pattern for a previous item made available to us. You are a very clever and enterprising young woman :) xxx
@@marycassidy1695right but either the owners of the publishing company or the descendants of the author (depending upon the contract the pattern was sold under) inherited the copyright
Yes, please! I would love to see this come to fruition. You threw me off a bit when you started on your mission to share this with us and checking for copyrights. What dedication! Respecting the original designer with generous thoughts on sharing it with the rest of us. Love it and thanks!🥰
Women had capsule wardrobes decades before the word existed. I remember reading an article in a old magazine titled "getting a smart wardrobe on a secretarys salary", and it was about choosing your perfect base color and strategic accessorizing. Even when respecting the copyright laws, making a vintage capsule wardrobe shouldnt be too difficult. There are a lot of two part dresses and twin sets in old magazines. Thank you for making inspiring videos for us vintage nerds❤
I greatly appreciate the efforts you're taking to get the patterns released, rewrite them into a modern format, and to include options for sizing! I'll await with baited breath to purchase the mixed wardrobe set. The brilliant thing about this set is that so many modifications can be made to include colorwork, other textured patterns, and so much more. Cheering for you!
Very cool how all the pieces in this booklet seem to be named after different types of dance music from around the world! at 3:06 we can see Brazilian maxixe, Polish mazurka, American swing, Czech polka...
Now I really wish I had a knitting machine. I've wanted to create myself a winter vintage wardrobe for ages and feel like this is exactly what I was thinking. :)
Good luck figuring out the copyright! The Copyright Board of Canada should help figure it out. One good thing about that route is they have the ability to issue licenses if the owner of copyright cannot be located! It can take well over a month or two, but I'm really impressed that you took the time to go into that, especially with international copyright. (waves, I'm from Canada!) It's really wonderful to see how much you respect creators, designers, and publishers for fiber crafts.
I really want to make a vintage set like this myself. I think it would be so versatile and fun to wear. The hardest part is honestly to choose a colour and yarn for it.
A third way to avoid this striping is to stack the two cones so the yarns wrap around each other as they unwind. Sei one on the floor and the second on an upside down milk crate above. Bring the yarn tail from the below cone up through the center of the cone on top. As the cone on top unwinds it wraps around the yarn from below giving a marl effect. Send both yarns together through the tension mast and carriage. No need to ply separately. The other way is called plating where you add a plating feeder at the carriage and run the yarns into separate slots in that feeder. It keeps one yarn to the front and one to the back so you have a separate color on each side of the fabric. Teresa
I loved this subject, and I love the channel, and I'm not even a vintage clothes person myself : ) Always amazed at what you do and your process is so interesting and different to a lot of what is happening in the (visible/viral) online community. Also appreciate that you often just mention that you take hand pain into consideration: sometimes the online craft world paints an unrealistic picture and this can be alienating.

This is so inspiring! I've been thinking about creating a "me made" capsule wardrobe for a while, but it's kind of an intimidating project. It's really interesting to hear how other people are reimagining the idea, making it their own, and tackling the task of creating a number of items. I'd absolutely be interested in the pattern set, what an incredible project.
Ooh this is a fun and practical project and I look forward to seeing your videos of your progress through it. I am often struck though, just how much more money than Retro Claude you have. But I suppose that's what happens when you're actually able to work full time (DINK rather than HINK - half-income no kids)! I'm in Claude's position, so that feels more normal to me I suppose. So I admire that you are actually going about this, not only for avoiding selling something that there is a grey area on for copyright, but going about it the right way to look into it because I'm sure plenty of people would love to buy the patterns from you. I'm learning more about your priorities and personality through the videos, especially the later ones, and what I see I admire.
This is the project of my knitting fantasies. Good for you! I ABSOLUTELY am interested in an updated vintage wardrobe pattern set from you. I haven’t had the time or attention to devote to converting/updating a vintage pattern on my own- not to mention trying to figure out a modern yarn substitute. You have a gift for figuring out these treasured vintage patterns. If you release a pattern like this, maybe we could do a year-long KAL! 😊
If you write up a pattern for the sweater you are wearing it would be awesome to have a machine knit version. Having made machine knit items, you are helping bring machine knitting back into popularity! Looking forward to your pattern!
I would adore a capsule wardrobe designed by you!! I love your style and vintage vibes, plus if you made it yourself you could add a few more pieces to make it more differentiated between outfits instead of having a few that are the same plus or minus a jacket
Copyright law is fascinating... I watch your videos simply because I enjoy watching makers make. But I was super interested in hearing about how you looked into the status of the copyright for the patterns. Thank you for sharing that information.
Bravo on your copyright tangent! The frequency with which I find people selling digital copies of vintage patterns is one of my pet peeves. And I shop for patterns from the 80s, so they are definitely not public domain yet. (And it doesn't help that etsy provides no mechanism to filter out digital products.) This will be a fun project to see!
I’d definitely be interested in your version of the patterns, I find it so hard to find vintage patterns in larger sizes. Your so kind to think about something like that. Can’t wait to see the upcoming videos.
So impressed with what you’ve learned about copyright law and how it applies to your original resource. It’s always more interesting to choose to looking to the realities of a situation. Good for you. And yes, I would be very interested in your re-envisioned work of this capsule wardrobe.
I'm so impressed by all the steps you're doing to learn more about the copyright to try and share these patterns! You are dedicated! If you go the route of designing your own vintage knitted capsule wardrobe, you could reach out to Sydney Grabaugh / Squid's School of Vintage Knitting -- she creates amazing made to measure vintage knitting patterns that are fully size-inclusive!
I would LOVE to see you make a capsule wardrobe pattern yourself! I say this as someone with a 52" bust who LOVES vintage patterns but can only work from Modern recreations and modern graded patterns because making normal adjustments to patterns would be SO out of the way for my size from the 36" bust haha
That seems so cool!! I wish you'd have shown at least the wools you are planning to use :) I'm really curious! Personally, I don't know if I'm into that particular style for a capsule wardrobe, I think I'd prefer some 50s/60s style, like Mrs. Maisel's (because she obviously only had a capsule wardrobe, right?) style, but I'm really looking forward to seeing your work!
I would be very interested in the patterns for this, so would be curious to hear what you come up with, but definately a pattern by you with versatile sizing would be more tempting than having to modify the original pattern. Cant wait to see your series on making them.
If it helps your pattern detective-ness, I just found a copy of the exact same pattern with the same images but differently themed names (tree themed not music) in Paton's Australian publication "Style" (vol 9 to be exact). Because Australia has online scans of most newspapers through our national library, I put the volume number into the search and found that version was published in (or around) 1943 in Sydney.
You’ve got me interested in a knit capsule wardrobe. I adore 40s era designs but as a plus size person can’t often make them. I’d love it if you made a pattern for something like this. A suggestion for similar looks would be to have a knit lace collar to add to the vest to give similar looks a different feel. Also did women wear slacks that often in a week at this time?
Wow the project looks lovely. I'm very impressed that you're checking the copyright so deeply. Your work in this will help lots of others who grapple with the same problem. Copyright is such a twisted confused mess that definitely needs clearer wording world wide
Looking forward to more videos about the knitted capsule wardrobe! I'd also lover to watch a video about the cardigan you're wearing because it's just so cute and I'd love to find out how to knit it and to acquire a pattern for it!
Talking about publicly available patterns - I was wondering if the patterns for the 1890s bicycling gloves and sweater are still available somewhere. There is a link in the description of the gloves video but unfortunately it does not work anymore.
@@papadivertida Unfortunately, this is not the book I am looking for. The patterns I am talking about come from the book “Collection of Knitting and Crochet Receipts” (aka “Knitting & Crocheting Book”) by M. Elliot Scrivenor, published by John Paton Son and Co. In 1899 - as seen in the video “Victorian Athletic wear - let's get sweater-y”. I have been looking online for scans of this book but was unable to find any.
from my own research on old vintage patterns, is that beehive was a part of patons especially in australia /new zealand and i assume beehive canada was absorbed into patons canada
Oooophta, tracing orphan works is a process! If the US hadn’t bullied Canada into extending copyright protection to 70 years plus life you probably would have been in public domain. 😡 Looking forward to hearing the entire process of knitting and hopefully publishing!
Great video would love a 40's capsule wardrobe as well but as others have saidsI am plus size to. I am thinking about purchasing my first knitting machine so any advice would be truly welcome. TIA
I think it's really cool! However, I wouldn't include a jacket as an outfit option, more like a layering option that matches everything else in the capsule that you can wear if you need more coverage. If let's say the capsule included both the jacket and another cardigan, then you would show 1 outfit with the jacket, and then the same outfit with the cardigan. But calling the outfit and the outfit with a jacket on as 2 different outfits is a bit weird.
Copyright in New Zealand for knitting patterns is 50 years after the death of the designer but it's rare to know who that is. I googled UK copyright and it's 70 years after the death of the designer. Obviously there are many patterns published in breach of copyright. I've been allowed to knit a limited number of garments from patterns still in copyright with permission of the publisher.
WELL DONE! Not only do i respect your integrity regarding Copyright but it has also explained why there has been no pattern for a previous item made available to us. You are a very clever and enterprising young woman :) xxx
My jaw is on the floor, having made it to the copyright section-what a dedicated move. You’re a vintage knitting crusader!
1942 is 81 years ago. I can't imagine the creator of this pattern is still alive.

I LOVE YOUR RESPECT FOR COPYRIGHT LAW!!! Good on you!
Seeking legal advice on the copyright was not what I expected, but I loved it!!

My grandmother use to do mix and match sets. She would be seriously impressed and I'm seriously inspired.

Wow, so much research! I am impressed and very excited to follow this project.
However... Points off for no Nutella.😃
Yes, I would like a pattern for the sweater you are wearing. My mom knit us matching sweaters in the early 60s that looked exactly like yours. ❤
I swear we are on the same wavelength. ❤❤❤❤

Yes please, I would love to see your version of the capsule
I can’t wait to see the capsule wardrobe. I absolutely love your content.
I’m just starting a knit skirt! Sadly no knitting machine here so maybe it will be done by *next* winter 😂
Would love to make ad wear that capsule so hoping itwill succseed to be published
I definitely want the pattern for the sweater you're wearing!
And the whole capsule when you design it! Since I would not fit into the original sizes 😟
Loved this
Looking forward to more videos about the knitted capsule wardrobe!
I'd also lover to watch a video about the cardigan you're wearing because it's just so cute and I'd love to find out how to knit it and to acquire a pattern for it!
can't wait to see more in this series!
I would love the patterns if you are able to create them in more inclusive sizes.
Our copywrite laws are nuts. Best of luck to you!
Oooo, this will be a fun (huge) project! I'm glad you have the knitting machine, that makes this much more reasonable. 💜

I wish all creators would do this. Marketplaces like Etsy don't give a rat's ass if people are violating copyrights and stealing from designers.
The plus side is that it could be plus size :D
That jacket has a really nice shape tbh, I'm excited to see it come to life
I think it's really cool! However, I wouldn't include a jacket as an outfit option, more like a layering option that matches everything else in the capsule that you can wear if you need more coverage.

Good luck in the world and wish you spell trying hard
I love that you did the legal leg work! Good luck!
Absolutely love the dedication you went to to not only check on copyright but also to explain it to us 💜💜💜
so excited for the pattern to be released for the sweater youre wearing! Its such a beauty.
