    Why’s everyone hating on the colors! They’re so 1830s and something about a dress with so bold of a pattern with that crazy silhouette is super cool!

    • @conmckfly

      Well, she did say it was, "a bit of an eyesore". But I'm sure it was appropriate for the 1830s - shudder.😁

    Your skills are amazing. My mother didn't sew and I never took home ec in school. However in my 40's I decided I wanted to learn. I took a few sewing classes and actually made a scub top (I'm a nurse.) But even with that simple pattern it was hard to get things just right. To watch you cut out and sew this complicated garment in a few hours is unbelievable. I am extremely impressed.

      When you know the skills and techniques you need for a garment you can see them in your mind and are able to do it like second nature like I’ve been sewing since I was 8 and I’ll be 21 this year so you just have it stored away in your brain it does come with time tho

    I used to make the 1836 dresses at Conner Prairie Living History Museum in central Indiana and I loved making them. A lot of the dresses had to be hand sewn - at least anywhere where the stitches or seams showed. None in silk, though. Also, I made a corded petticoat - all hand sewed - that took me over 25 hours just to sew the cords in. I was a volunteer and I loved it!! I did make one 1870's dress for the school teacher on a different area of Conner Prairie, too. At least that one could be machine sewed. Thank you for showing this. It brought back lots of great memories.

You brought the pattern together beautifully, coordinating the blocks and the color scheme, it's just too amazing to see it all come together....and in such short a time! Enjoyed it very much....and I can't sew a stitch myself haha.

    I really liked learning what happens to the scrapes! Have you ever done a video, where you try to use up an entire bolt of cloth before? Every scrap?
