Autumn Faerie Skirts and Renaissance Armbands | Sewing my Renaissance Festival Costume
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2024
- This weeks video is a little talking and instruction heavy! I made two skirts for my Renaissance Fairy costume, the underskirt is a basic gathered rectangle and the overskirt is a lace handkerchief skirt. I go over how I make the lace skirt have only pretty edges all around and how I sew it to make it look seamless! I also made fancy armbands, two upper and two lower and I go over how I made the very simple pattern and then back to the regularly scheduled pretty music and sewing content. All of the pieces this week are fairly simple so hopefully this one is easier for following along!

The handkerchief skirt looks stunning. Could you link to one or two of the renesans paintings you mention in the description? I'd love to see what you are referencing ( if no that's cool too)
ok so i'm looking right now but all I'm finding are images from the Borgia's tv show and other peoples costumes/dolls so maybe I imagined the paintings! I'm going to keep looking for a bit more and if I find any actual paintings I'll let you know the name 😅
i think i figured it out kind of - the style I made where it's really short on the upper arm seems to only exist in fantasy tv show land 😅 and looks to be an interpretation of two part sleeves found in the following paintings - "Resurrection of the Notary's Son" by Ghirlandaio, "Meeting of the Betrothed Couple and Departure of the Pilgri" by Carpaccio. Plus probably some other but that's what I found in my quick search right now! I'm going to pin your comment in case anyone else is wondering too 😊
I am so impressed! I am going to start sewing again at 74!
yess you definitely should!
When you where spinning around the edges of the over skirt looked like autumn leaves blowing in the wind 🍂, absolutely love it ❤
aaah I love that thank you for pointing it out!!
I know this is an older video, but I have to say that your explanation for the armbands was the most succinct and understandable armband (which can translate to bracers/gauntlets) that I've seen. I've always had trouble with making gauntlets, but I'm definitely using this as a tutorial in the future!
same!
I love that you show how to get a costume/outfit/project can still look gorgeous and work even when you have limited fabric
thank you! I'm trying really hard to use up my fabric stash haha
@@moth.faerie I think it takes skill and imagination to use limited resources and I am always impressed when someone does it well! Thank you for sharing your skills, talent, and imagination with us
how is it even possible, that you don't have much more followers and views?? This is precious high quality content! I just discovered your channel a few days ago and already watched a lot of your videos
ahh hello to you in austria, thank you so much this is so sweet of you to say! i'm so glad you like my videos! I've been to austria one time for about an hour while visiting germany, but what I saw of it was beautiful! I'd love to go back someday!
You have the patience of a saint for applique stitching all of that! And......it totally paid off. Your work is so beautiful and one can see the time and effort put in when each little detail catches their eye
ah thank you so much! I actually really love doing all the small tedious things, it forces me to slow down and do things like listen to audio books 😊the rest of the time I'm absolutely all over the places haha
Your work is absolutely beautiful. I found your channel by chance and I've been binging ever since. You have such skill and you explain things super well and it's just a blast to watch you plan and sew!! Can't wait to see this look all finished!
aw thank you so much, this is so sweet!
The colors are absolutely delicious! It's so cold and gloomy here and you have a proper Autumn going on here. And the textures are just chef's kiss. The handkerchief skirt turned out beautiful. You really did hide all those seams.
I'm actually really glad I managed to see the video, there was some weird glitch that froze it after the first five minutes and drove me up the wall. I wanted my pretty video fix! Luckily it allowed me to see the rest.
Looking forward for the grand reveal!
oh no I'm so sorry that happened! Not really sure how to fix it, I think that's on youtube's end unfortunately hopefully it doesn't do it again! Thank you for powering through and watching anyways 😊 It's alternating between perfect fall weather and really stormy haha but I like both so it's all right. I'm soo happy with how the lace skirt turned out, I'm glad it reads well!
Finally!!! The YT algorithm has finally done sometime right for me! I found your channel two days ago and I love your content!!!
The handkerchief overskirt turned out beautifully, btw!
Ah thank you! I'm glad you're here!
This project just keeps getting more beautiful!
aw thank you!
Love the handkerchief skirt! Absolutely stunning and worth the extra time put into it.
thank you!
That handkerchief skirt is gorgeous! The fabrics you used for the skirts are so pretty. I'm a big fan of floral patterns! Can't wait for the cutesy fun stuff lol. Great work!
thank you!! i'm really happy with how it turned out 😊 i love florals too!
Hi, wonderful project, it turned out great!
The stays /chemise combo is definitely my favorite.
For the sleeve part, like someone else already pointed out, I think that attaching it to the stays is the simplest way to get it to stay in place. By putting another eyelet in the back of the shoulder straps, putting a ribbon through it that will be attached to the top of the armband via another eyelet. If you place the eyelets on the back of the arms, then it will not be too noticeable and you can keep it in place without worrying about it.
Don't know how to better explain it but that's what I did for mine.
ooh that's really helpful! and something I can do retroactively haha, thank you so much for the suggestion!!
That's such a cute way to bring the skirt together. Perfect colors for autumn! ❤️
thank you so much! I looove autumn colors, I was so happy staring at this the whole time I was working haha
it looks so beautiful already! can't wait to see what the full thing will look like
thank you so much!
For the whole sleeve issue, I'd say sew (or tie) ribbons from the head of the corset shoulder to the crown edge of the forearm sleeve to make it all one piece, but still show off the chemise. That way, they stay in place without you having to yank them back up.
hm i'm not sure I'm quite understanding, sorry! I'm a super visual person so I have trouble with written explanations 😅 Do you mean like the top of the armscye by the shoulder point to the middle top edge of the upper arm band? or something else?
@@moth.faerie so, what you'd do is sew or tie the top of the ribbon to the shoulder strap and the bottom to the top of the upper sleeve. Then tie/sew another ribbon at the bottom of the top sleeve and the top of the bottom sleeve. Then each piece is connected to the next by ribbons. If you want, you can connect them at 4 points to create a skeleton sleeve where everything is floating on ribbons. I hope that helps.
Oh my gosh! the dirndl skirt is so cute! I adore the handkerchief skirt over layer, it just adds that extra dimension to the skirl, plus when you spin
thank you!! if i figure out a good way to keep the armbands up without having to tug them up constantly i'll let you know! so far I think elastic instead of ribbon might be the best option 😅
@@moth.faerie Hmm I wonder if adding boning could also help. It would give it a little more structure. Hopefully you're able to find a way to do it! If I end up making them and find a way to hold them in place before you figure it out (doubtful that I will but just in case) I will let you know my findings as well.
@@KittieRoses I'm not sure that boning would help because they're pretty rigid already from making them out of a very cardboard-y coutil, I think it's mostly that it wants to slip to the narrowest part of my arm but I want it to stay around one of the wider parts.. if it was the fabric crunching in on itself then I definitely think boning would work!
It came out great! Love the layering. I also love all your sweaters in this video ❤
thank you! interesting sweaters are like my weakness haha I can't resist buying a ton 😅
For the sleeve slippage you might try to see if you can find that plastic? Strip that they put on like strapless bras/dresses?.. which I just googled to find out that it is gripper silicone.. 🤷
The outfit looks lovely so far! Can't wait to see the whole ensemble!
I think that would work really well if the arm band was on bare skin! i think over the chemise though it would just stick to the chemise and the chemise would slip down? thank you for the suggestion anyways!
i recently found your videos and have fallen love! ive learned so much while still being entertained. super excited to see more from you!
aw thank you so much, I'm so glad you like them!
The lace skirt is stunning as is the entire ensemble (that is so far completed!).. I am looking forward to the full reveal!
thank you so much!
It all looks beautiful.
thank you so much!
Eyelash glue or similar cosmetic glue on hem around your upper arm to keep your arm bands in place is my suggestion. Love you work as always!!
ooh maybe i'll try that if it's on my bare arms, i don't want anything to mess up the chemise since i'ts a really delicate silk!
@@moth.faerie oh yeah i wouldn't do it on top of fabric. The other thought i had was to thread it with elastic and the ribbon so you can disguise the elastic but still keep it up. Or sew the elastic to the ribbon. Not sure how that last one would work though
It's so prettyyyyy!! Really some well done work :D
Thank you so much!
Absolutely breathtaking!
thank you!
So pretty!! I'm excited to see the rest of this :)
thank you!
Gorgeous! That lace over skirt is just the loveliest thing and the colour is so beautiful and rich. Looking forward to the next instalment!
Thank you! I'm really proud of how it turned out!
Very pretty 😀
No other words other than beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! As usual.
Thank you so much! 🥰
These are gorgeous! I love the mix of rich fabrics, colors & textures. It's just so *chef's kiss* and makes my aesthetic sensibilities so very happy. Also, why is listening to good scissors cutting fabric so so so satisfying?!!!
thank you so much! yess scissor asmr is so nice to listen to haha, that and pencils
It looks beautiful. I really like using the applique technique even if it takes forever!
thank you! and yesss so worth it even if it took me half an audio book to finish the skirt 😅
Gorgeous outfit! Beautiful job!
thank you so much!
I’d love to have got a better look at the skirts, but what I did see looked lovely!
ah yeah I filmed the reveal kind of last minute since I was running late 😅 I think there should be a better shot of them in my renfair vlog/full reveal when that goes up and if that isn't quite enough of a reveal I might do a short of the full costume in the future!
oh! I do have a spinning slomo video on my tiktok that shows it pretty well, my tiktok handle is the same as here!
It's beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a new subscriber (found you bc of this costume's first video and have been binging your vids since!!)
I wonder how to go about getting the overskirt slightly poofier? Would you suggest gathering a larger circumference down more? (Or maybe using some horsehair braid just below the gathering stitch line would work? Bc I've had some sitting in my stash for almost 3 years and every time I think I have a use for it, I wind up coming up with a different solution lol)
For reference, I absolutely fell in love with the corset/chemise combo and am now attempting to design similar elements around pumpkin/bloomer shorts for a more boy-ish ensemble. Cheers~~
I think it depends on the fabric but more gathering should definitely help it be poofier! The lace doesn't really poof much since it's pretty heavy without much body so I do'nt know that it could actually be achieved with this fabric. The horsehair might work, but I personally wouldn't do it with this because it'll show through the transparent parts of the lace and will end up with a lot less predictable gathering. Good luck with yours, it's sounds super cute! If you end up posting it on instagram, please tag me I'd love to see it! (same username on ig as on here)
Your chemise is very fine, but in a heavier fabric I'd say safety pin the upper armbands. You'll always be fighting gravity so will have to cheat somehow. 😉 Lovely skirts!
yeah I'd definitely worry about safety pins in this chemise, but probably will do it with a different chemise! or I'll just live with the fact that gravity wants me to be inconvenienced haha
Your videos are so beautifully shot and edited! Where did you learn shooting and editing?
thank you! I'm entirely self taught! I learned a lot of it on youtube, and I've been into photography generally as a hobby for about 15 years which I think has really helped. Mostly I will watch videos I like over and over again dissecting what I like about them and figuring out how I can apply those principles to my own videos. I hope that helped, sorry there was no real direct answer!
OC hoodie? Well now I have to subscribe.
aah did you go there?
@@moth.faerie Sure did. Graduated '13
@@OverpepperedSoup oh what dm me on instagram if you have one!
@@moth.faerie I do not, but I'm on facebook. I'll message your page
I Just realized that i might be able to do a handkerchief skirt as a First bigger sewing project. I should be able to cut a hole into a square 😂
Yess you should totally do it!
Yes, yes, this all very interesting and pretty... But where is my kitty content?
Haha I guess they weren’t much while I was making these! Next week there will be more baby bat! I’ve also started working on the next project to get ahead before the holidays and I just got quite a bit of pretty Honeybee and fall leaves footage 😊
I cannot see your outfit in the half light of the forest - maybe next time include images of the outfit where it is easier to make out. I love your moody atmospheric romp amid the trees- but I'd love to see your work more clearly.
ah yeah I was filming the reveal pretty last minute so I could get the video done. There will be more footage of the outfit in my renfest vlog!
@@moth.faerie awesome!
