    Beautiful. The coral(?) necklace was perfect to bring out the colours of the undertunic. And, as always, I enjoy watching the different ways that people pattern and sew.

    Woo, the cyclas continues! 😂 (It's been my werewolf week, so my tea of choice was orange spice or chai mixed with raspberry leaf and honey.)

    I love that teal, and that is such a pretty facing color!!
    And I’m very tempted to get one of those hem markers myself! Even without the distortion from hanging out bias, the difference in length needed to look even front vs back is so hard to predict!

      And now that I have watched, I like it even more. The colour combination is beautiful and unusual. I'm currently reading *Kristin Lavransdatter*, which is set in mediaeval Norway, and your finished outfit makes me think about some of the clothing descriptions in that book.

    Great work! I watched this while working on extending the pockets on a pair of jeans. I could sew them in by machine, but it's easier to do it by hand with my chronic fatigue. Slower, but less spoons. Aren't bodies weird? 😂

    • @leecarlson9713
      @leecarlson9713 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I can so relate to the chronic fatigue! I have three autoimmune disorders that cause fatigue, and hypothyroidism, plus I now have Long COVID. Some days I can barely get food into me, let alone use my sewing machine. I love to hand sew, so will do that, by choice. Hope you find something that helps with your fatigue.

    • @moonbasket
      @moonbasket 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @leecarlson9713 Thank you. You, too! I'm seeing a specialist for my Long COVID and I highly recommend if you can find one. She's really helped so much.

    One day i will make a cyclas, hopefully soonish because it looks hella comfortable for pregnancy.
    Also
    Me, a sewist who should know better: that's a big seam allowance on the facing and all that clipping seems annoying and unnecessary
    Courtney: effortlessly folds and sews the facing

    Love your videos. I think I have seen most, if not all. The music during the reveal on this one seemed a bit discordant, and I had to turn the sound off to be able to watch the reveal. Sorry if the recorder was played by someone you know it was just too grating for me 😅

      The music credits are always in the description, if you’re interested in them. I’m glad I don’t know the person who played that song; I wouldn’t want any of my musician friends to see that
