Gurl, I feel you in sewing for the life you want! There are two main Fashion Advantages to being over 60; 1) I can sew anything I want, from any era, and 2) I can wear it ANYWHERE cuz I do NOT give a hoot what people think! Do I look like an 1865 Schoolmarm today? Why, yes I do! Is it an excellent conversation starter? Yes it is! Was I a 1783 Pirate last week? Yes I was! 1972 Flower Child for Early Voting yesterday? Of course! It’s very fun to give up on societal fashion expectations and FINALLY be ME all the time!
I love being a senior and a sewist. I entertain the heck out of myself by dressing how I choose. My friend and I also voted in our flower child garb. Was a statement made. I hope so. Best to you! and thank you for voting.
You’ve been inspiring me to sew for the life I want. I’m so excited to have a wardrobe that fits and suits me. Thank you for all your inspirational and educational content.
I don't mind how old the content is, I'll always watch you, Bianca, and be inspired! 😊 Btw I totally understand the Covid cough situation, being at the tail end of my third dose of the plague since it first reached our shores... 😟 I'm still testing positive but did manage a couple of decent nights' sleep this week, after several nights when even sedatives were not able to counteract the complete congestion and tickly cough night-time purgatory 😢 In the UK now you have to be age 65 or over to get a free Covid or Flu jab, and I'm only 64, so obviously the State doesn't care if I suffer... 😠 Hey ho. At least I can watch your wonderful vintage-inspired creations to cheer me up! 😊
I collect quotes. I'm keeping "Sew for the life you want" Amazing advice. I've always heard, Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Thank you for everything you do.
When I first started watching you, drafting was witchcraft for me. As a beginner, now I truly understand how it is done, at least I can imagine myself changing a basic bodice. Thank you.
you are so creative and talented... you take something like this and make it look so simple and very fashionable... thanks for sharing... can't wait to see the next video... hugs from Dallas...
Wow, being awake and scrolling youtube at 2am actually pays off - why didn't anyone tell me I could be one of the first viwerrs! 😂 Great way to start friday❗️
Thankyou. FYI I’ve watched you for five or more years now I think and I think I can see how you have l “become a better sewist” in that time. I seem to feel since you made this video (it’s an older one, 2020) I’ve seen a tonne of the hand sewing and more french seams that. You said was rare for you when you recorded the video. You have inspired me and with a bonfit bodice and skirt pattern system I have made for me a double cape coat(pad stitch and stay tape and welt pockets) based on the Mary Poppins returns blue coat and my version of the mccalls 7153. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without your tuition. My mum sews extensively but has never done pattern drafting. I have also pattern drafted (Liz Haywood zero waste wrap skirt) for myself and friends. Currently working on a steampunk/victorian cycling outfit. And May attempt a simple corset too. You are an inspiration and Thankyou to the patreon supporters and your willingness to teach.
What an appropriate video to watch while I myself am on the uphill battle that is getting over Covid. It's my 2nd bout overall, and is entirely different from the first one, when the symptoms were almost entirely digestive. This one is very much as you describe. Didn't occur to me until you mentioned it that I could try sleeping propped up to limit nighttime coughing.
I'm glad things seem to be mostly on the up ❤ And good luck to Handsome Hubby on his job hunt! I actually live in Ohio 😆 There's some fairly active historical costuming here, so you can play dress up with us!
"a pencil skirt hem isn't that long..." Meanwhile I'm sitting here whip-stitch/tacking(?) my hem facing piece on a 15 ft hem after about 20 french seams for this pleated skirt... 😂the things we do for a certain effect or look! Hope you're doing well in present-day you! I'm excited for you to check out new forever homes for your ever-growing sewing room. :)
u know what really helps with that kind of cough......a warm air humidifier. and sometimes keeping a lozenge in your cheek will help. i dont know if a cold humidifier helps or not because i hate the cold ones so i only use the hot ultrasonic ones. but the warm air ones really helped me a ton.
22:17 That "Line of stitching" is what I call a stay stitch and I SS all of my pattern pieces. For some reason avoiding SS reminds me of that Downy Ultra fabric softener commercial where the guy was on a date and he had that stretched-out neckband😂. I don't ever want to be that person.
When you get your new house will you be making one of the bedrooms into a walk in closet? You've made many dresses and outfits I should think you might need a larger closet by now. I hope you find your dream home. As always thank you for sharing your creations.
Love this design 6:00 in rayon is bamboo dear other viewers, it’s a silk substitute and as durable and if you pre wash the bulk fabric first your final product will be washable and stain resistant iron able and very minimal shrinkage with that first wash, so yes this was a perfect choice for this garment ❤🎉🌈
Might be worth speaking to Stephanie Canada as she bought a HUGE amount of vintage fabrics, findings etc last year. I think her website is backroom finds, but it’ll likely be linked over on her channel. Add honey to herbal tea - it’s also good for fighting infections. I’d also suggest speaking to a pharmacist about a suitable antihistamine for you, especially at night. It can help calm things down and help alleviate a cough, but you’d also need to check what’s in your cough medicine, but a standard antihistamine can work wonders. My theory is the immune system revs up to fight the infection, but then decides temporarily that other known allergens are a problem when they’re not before. A night time cough is also down to being the only way the lungs can clear themselves of crud when you’re not moving around. I have to go dairy free with respiratory infections to help that! Again, chat to your primary care doctor or pharmacist for advice
Really like the split colour looks. Ive been finding more and more split colour pieces for my own wardrobe and they're my favourite. Also where are those shoes from? They look great.
It's pretty usual for DSLR camera's, I think some go up to 30 minutes 😅 I believe it has something to do with regulations on the classification of the cameras and if they can record for longer the tariffs/taxes on them are different. Some serious nonsense basically.
They wore such pretty dresses back then. We were taught how to walk, sit, stand, and get in and out of autos in dresses (and skirts and blouses). Young women today have no idea how to properly wear a dress. I will never forget the two young women wearing vintage white nylon slips as outer dresses at Goodwill. I wasn't the only one trying to tell them that those slips are undergarments (not dresses). Your Dress is beautiful on you.
sew for the life i want......so i should start sewing a bunch of tall mens goth/industrial clothes and maybe ill find a hot guy? lol guys my ages rarely have any personality. their entire personality is either sports, or the gym, or biking, or financial markets. BOOOOOORING. why are guys my age so OLD??? lol im mid 40s.

#squadgoals 🎉
👍👍 thank you Patrons for funding these videos and later releasing them back into the wild 💛👍!
Zinc and a new dress 😃!
You're welcome! There is so much good stuff on patreon I often feel bad other people don't see it! I haven't even watched it all yet.
It’s not just the garment: Your styling always lifts the look.
You’ve been inspiring me to sew for the life I want. I’m so excited to have a wardrobe that fits and suits me. Thank you for all your inspirational and educational content.
Good for you!
@@memerrill007 Rock it!
"Way too many dresses" ? Impossible.
Love your "dart pivot" and "add volume here" videos because they are so clear and really speak to me. Thank you!
You make it look so easy
I don't mind how old the content is, I'll always watch you, Bianca, and be inspired! 😊

The thread holding bit is genius!!! I needed that tip so bad, thank you!
I gave a tiny squeel when i saw the OG blue table. ❤
I collect quotes. I'm keeping "Sew for the life you want" Amazing advice. I've always heard, Dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Thank you for everything you do.
Hoping your personal chaos is good news! This is such a gorgeous dress and I love the spooky details. 🦇
I always mean to add more embellishment to my sewing. Especially when I see you do lovely things
I love this dress. The double peplum is very nice. Keep showing blasts from the past. 😊

I am learning so much from you. Thank ❤
*waves cheerleading pompoms in the background for Bianca's journey however it appears*
I had a very stressful day and a video from u is exactly what I need right now ❤
Felt that I hope your day gets better
I love this dress. The floof on the side just makes it.
I'm watching this as it thunders and lightening out.
What an appropriate video to watch while I myself am on the uphill battle that is getting over Covid.

I hope you get well soon. Rest, rest, rest! 🍵🍏🥣
@@AJansenNL Me too! Thank you.
My favorite holiday, and how great you've captured it!

Oooooo 🧡🖤 I didn't realize sewing sequins was so easy! Hmmm....
That color orange does lend a more vintage-y vibe, looks beautiful!
LOVE THIS SO EXCITED TO WATCH!!
u know what really helps with that kind of cough......a warm air humidifier. and sometimes keeping a lozenge in your cheek will help. i dont know if a cold humidifier helps or not because i hate the cold ones so i only use the hot ultrasonic ones. but the warm air ones really helped me a ton.
Just be careful to keep all humidifiers clean!b
I love this dress Bianca, amazing styling as usual!!🎃🖤🧡🖤Xx
Love this 1940s Halloween dress. The sequined spider web is 😻😻! Thank you patrons.
Super cute❤❤ I love how that sash moves with you❤
Oh goodness, how cute is that! And thank you for resurrecting this--the drape is really nice and you rock it just beautifully. ❣💥
Your sewing and design is amazing.
This is so dang adorable, I can't even!! Thanks for sharing :)
Love all of your looks..bravo

Don't forget to be awesome!
I love it. It’s gorgeous ❤
My jaw is ON THE GROUND oh I love this dress so much

Also where are those shoes from? They look great.
Thnk you, a stunning dress and a dress that would hide my stoma, ❤
how stunning and how festive!!! oh i am obsessed
what about dying your own fabric? i dont know how well rayon dyes, but there are a bunch of fabrics you can dye. and dyeing can be fun.
I hope your life is hectic because you found a house 😉
I am not au fait with the world of cameras.. can someone tell me if that 20-minute shut off is a standard thing...
It's pretty usual for DSLR camera's, I think some go up to 30 minutes 😅 I believe it has something to do with regulations on the classification of the cameras and if they can record for longer the tariffs/taxes on them are different. Some serious nonsense basically.

the jacket/top your wearing in the intro/outro is that one you made and is there a video on youtube?
It is made from the same pattern as this one from here on the channel th-cam.com/video/LQyY73RA0a4/w-d-xo.html ✨
Very nice design \(^-^)/
