Karolina be honest, did the overworked Time Travel Agency seamstress talk you out of the fancy outfit and into the "ass-guaranteed-to-show-if-you-fall-over" peasant ensemble?
Karolina liked the comment, so I think that's a yes, without totally violating the secrecy of the existence of the Time Travel Agency. There's a limit to what "they" will allow her to reveal. (I'm not saying Karolina really works with a time travel agency, but she totally does).
I was instantly drawn to this outfit by the short sleeve over the long sleeve look. You can take a girl out of the 90s, but not take the 90s out of the girl!
YES! Lol Imagine it’s the 17th century, you aren’t upper class, you’ll never have your picture painted and of course there are no cameras - HOWEVER you go skating one day, and see a man painting the scene. You really want to be memorialized in this painting - it’s your only chance of a lifetime. You decide to show off your best moves, skating in a spin. Only you face plant onto the ice, the wind blowing up your skirt and - voila! You’re memorialized, all right! Forever caught in a face plant that people will be talking about literally hundreds of years later, and the worst/best part? Your face doesn’t even make it into the painting.
i was wondering, do waters freeze over in the netherlands anymore so you can skate on them? it's so interesting to see these old paintings, but seeing how the weather changed so much with climate change it also makes me sad and nostalgic... for example here in germany the last time a lake froze over so much you could skate on it was when i was a child probably 16 years ago. since then winters have been increasingly warm with a few exceptions but even then it was never cold enough or enough snow for all these winter activities
@@pumpkingrantaire3861 Last winter we could!!!(for like 3 whole days but that aside) Before that the last time we could was like 2010/2012 or so. Sadly.
@@pumpkingrantaire3861 Yes, but only for a week or two. Mostly in February, so hopefully soon. But yes, it's been getting warmer. We hardly ever have snow in the Netherlands, now or in the past. It's cold that makes ice, anyway. In fact snow isn't good for making smooth ice, so if it does snow, people here sweep the ice before dark each day, so the snow doesn't freeze into the ice over night, making it uneven. In the 17th century, there was a mini ice-age, of about 100 years.All of those paintings that are in the video, are from that time, too.
I love that when you do things like nope at the frozen river, throw snow off the bridge, walk around like you're lost, you basically remind us that people 400 years ago were pretty much the same as us just they talked and dressed differently.
17th century just doesn't get enough love in the historical costuming community! I have a niche interest in Dutch Golden Age paintings depicting winter activities (especially lower classes) so this video was just *chef's kiss*
Many of dutch traditional dresses have the halfish sleeves. The half sleeves were probably just practical bc women worked hard and didn't need their sleeves in the way with washing, cleaning and cooking. And then for the sun- and festive days the pretty sleeves (or a jacket) were put on, (sleeves maybe would've been easier to be warmer without another layer that a jacket would add) I'm Dutch but to be honest I don't even understand the why of half of our traditional clothing🙃 Edit: spelling errors
Hi, ook een Nederlandse hier :) I was told that it was also a way to wear your clothes longer. Especially for girls growing up and for younger women getting pregnant and having babies. Because their body shape would change so much, this style could accommodate this a bit better for a longer time. Poor people often didn't have more than two or three full sets of clothing.
Do we even understand half our country to begin with? If we are supposed to i missed that class at school lmao. Its like a clay project in progress but the clay is made of poo.
Thank you for showing that it’s okay to not be 100% accurate, and that you sew for fun! It’s so cool to watch you assemble whole outfits based on what you want, logic, and materials at your disposal. Also, detachable sleeves and skates need to make a comeback!
That's so relatable, right? One of my fav clothing pieces is a t-shirt I customized with all my 100% improvised teenager skills ten years ago. I always wear my "not so straitgh and fine technique" clothes. I made them, I'm usually proud. Turns out I now actually want to learn fashion design and make a living, so much for spending 6y at uni studying accountability (I hate it tbh) xD
I'm Dutch and honestly I love how you specify where Amsterdam is and aknowledge that it's not the entirety of the Netherlands Also you made this absolutely stunningly and I need to make it now too
As a Dutch subscriber, I loved this project. I've always loved these old paintings so much, they're often soo busy, so many people are depicted on the ice and all the things that were going on. The Dutch painters loved to put humor in it like falling people and peeing dogs, playing children. You can stare at those paintings for a long time and still discover something new.
I love that style of old paintings, not kings and queens posed stiffly in their finest jewels, just normal people doing normal things we still do today. They have such a warm, relatable, humanist vibe to them.
I love how Karolina is super chill geek girl through most of the video and then she glows up into the outfit and it's suddenly like "Daaaamn I'd paint that."
Fun fact from a Dutch person! I recently did a little bit of research on some traditional dress and found that in the region I was looking at women wore short sleeves year round! So I guess it won’t be to crazy to think these lady’s also had jackets with short sleeves they always wore
For those who are interested, the painting that Karolina used for reference appears to be 'Winter scene on the IJ front of Amsterdam' 1621 - 1622 by Arent Arentsz Cabel.
You absolutely need to see the movie "Silver Skates" - it's a russian netflix movie set in 1899 St Petersburgh, but the entire plot revolves around skating with Dutch detachable skates. Also.. the costuming is GORGEOUS.
Lol we have a pair of skates like that hanging on the wall, they were my mother's. I lost my own pair in a move. Yes back in the 50s in the Netherlands I wore those kinds of skates and so did my parents. I love the costume, I get tired of seeing all the rich costumes, it is time to make lower class costumes, I feel my the eyes of my union organiser grandfather looking down on me in my upper class costumes, I am sure he is shaking his protest signs at me!

I learned how iceskate on the wooden skates and im 30, my 25 year old brother also did. My parents believe it's the best way to learn to have a good iceskating balance.
Love it! I live in Amsterdam and when I was a kid some people still used those wooden detachable skates! Nowadays they're still made for kids so you don't have to buy them new skates every year (because of their growing feet), but instead of wood they make them out of plastic now.
The fact that I speak polish makes me feel like I'm in some kind of "special/unique" part of people on this channel that get a little tiny bit more content xD
Love this! Working with faux fur is the only time I ever cut myself with scissors. I was sneezing from having the fur go up my nose. 😕 My daughter and I were afraid you'd try to skate on the ice. She kept shouting, "Don't do it! It isn't safe!" 😆
Meme mom being iconic as per usual! I love when you pair modern music with your reveal, it is so funny and unique. The outfit looks incredible by the way!!
12:25 sew-ception; I'm sewing something while watching/listening to Karolina sew/explain a sewing project 😂 anyone who's with me? 🤗😁 P.s. I'm pretty sure you tied those skates incorrectly, usually there are loops at 4 points ( which these seemed to have ) and then you take the long strap/cord and feed it through all 4 loops, leaving you with the loose ends at the back of the skate. This would then be brought to the back of the ankle, where they'd be crossed and then brought back to the front of the ankle where you'd tie them. Though some of these skates have a leather backing which eliminates the need to wrap the strap around your ankle. These skates are called "houtjes" or "Friese doorlopers" in Dutch you should find pictures if you Google that 😊
This was amazing!! I learned to skate on these as a small child (which sounds very long ago but it was the nineties, so...) Terrible in every single way to skate in, they usually ended up all askew under your feet or even on top of it, and you basically became a maniacally, uncontrollably gliding toddler with machetes on her feet, but still, such fun! The design is called "Friese doorlopers" (Frisian run throughs) and a lot were tied with thick cotton or linen straps, so that's not too historically inaccurate, I'd guess?
oooh- I remember you talking about dutch 17th century projects back in 2018 in the “talking about my fav fashion history eras” video- the profecy has happend😌
Sure, there was probably a proper way of making 18th century dresses, but if you were some random dressmaker in Sweden and your customer asked you to create the latest French fashion with nothing but a fashion plate to go on, you were going to wing it.
I wonder if in a few honderd years people will be looking at photos of a jeans and think: "how did they do it?" and as a Dutch girl, love the paintings and this beautiful recreation, what I do not love is the old timey Dutch silhouette what I call the up side down tulipe: no curves at the top and way to wide in the hips, fashion is weird
The fact you actually used THE RIGHT TERMS when discussing Amsterdam and North Holland and not just calling the Netherlands Holland like a wet towel, may your pillow always be cold and your blankets always comfy and warm🥰
Man, I kinda wanted to see you actually skate using those. I could imagine a public ice skating rink and you just skate past them wearing the entire ensemble!
as a dutch girl i am so obsessed w this, i've seen these kinds of outfits in painting all my life so it's SO cool to see it come to life!! thank you Karolina i will now be turning into a skater girl
Always stunned by how accurate the attire reveal looks based on the paintings that you look at!!! Talk about a view that takes you back in time! Thank you for your talents!!!!!
I was active in a medieval/ren. reenactment group for several years and it taught me a TON about garment research, pattern creation, and modification. Making a garment from a modern pattern takes all the fun and challenge out of it.
I like this, I am so interested in how people like us dressed in the olden days because, let's face it ,we are not the ultra rich people....peasant core ....and I always wanted to make a sarafan from Russia I will some day. and.... I don't think those ladies who made their clothes in the olden days were perfect either...they made do with what they had and yes pieced it when they made a mistake...we see that is extant garments.
LOVE IT! I’m sure working with fake fur was a major pain but it ended up looking great. The image of you wearing the outfit sitting on the bridge is amazing. I can see that as a painting itself. (Also, nice Slytherin jumper you wore while doing some of your piecing and sewing. #SlytherinsRepresent! )
Love the skates! As a kid there were several kids who learned to iceskate on 'houtjes'. My ankles couldn't handle them but still it's a good childhood memory.
I just wrote pretty much the same comment! Learned to skate on them, back in the 90s. My ankles much prefer the hard plastic skates I've got now (with the longer gliders). They're still real pretty.
So fun to watch! I learned to ice skate on these ('houtjes', which would translate to 'woodlets'), we tied them with shoelaces. Very compact and portable, and it's nice you can take them off and walk on your normal shoes if you want to. You don't see the wooden ones a lot outside second-hand shops, but Zandstra has made a modern version with a wider platform and straps that's quite popular with more casual ice skaters.
You did a wonderful interpretation of that painting! The more you learn, the easier it becomes to Speculate on how things were made. There are some resources out there, but so few for working class clothes. I’ve been obsessed with amateur researching 16th century working class clothing for almost 35 years. And I often do my hand sewing while watching you do yours.
Shout out to Filemon for being such a helpful little lad the whole time, #tunaForFilemon Also, does anyone have any advice on looking for visual reference on pesant 14th century clothing?
Honestly, it really depends on the part of 14th century and location...there is huge difference between lets say 1310 and 1350 or 1390.... Also scandinavian are different to central Europe and that is different to Spanish culture. I myself attempt central European peasant at around 1310, I'd recomend Maciejewski bible or codex Manesse (see the trubadours or vendors, but most of the main characters are noble). As I said, it really depends on the area and time.
I think it's so cool that you're making something from my country! My grandmother still warn traditional clothing as a child. But was too rebellious as a teenager to keep it up XD Your creation turned out so awesome and gorgeous! I had seen two or three videos of yours before, but this definitely made me realise I hadn't yet subscribed for some weird reason... ^^
Wow Karolina! This is so amazing. Also i love that you went out in the snow. Jut from looking at the painting, it's hard to imagine the scene in real life and in the beginning even thought "Why would they wear that? some historical fashion is just plain ugly", but seeing the outfit IRL makes so much more sense. It looks elegant and comfortable to wear, and i can totally imagine som dutch ladies in 1600-something fool around on the ice and have fun
This was so cool. LOVED the final look. It really reminded me of the welsh traditional clothes that still get put on for St davids day and school things, really similar in look.
What a cool recreation! I like the partlet, I would wear that lol. Also super jealous of the house you stayed in for your winter vacation! I looooove houses with wooden walls like that. Idk it just calls my ancestral DNA lol. Supposedly I do have Dutch ancestors. I wonder if they ever wore that outfit at the time 🙂
I can't sew to save my life (though I expect a life-saving-sewing situation is unlikely to arise) but I really dig watching you apply your mad creative and detective skills to the mystery of the Dutch skater's garments. Also, red is definitely your color! 💗
Hendrick Averkamp! His painting bring me so much joy. What we know of his life is super interesting. :D I remember reading a book about his life from a historical writer, who also wrote things like crusade in jeans etc. :) Aside from the skirt length (give us more ancle! ;) ) it looks like a copy of the dress in the painting! :)
@@HolandaChiquita Thea Beckman wrote a lot of historical fiction, most of it is well researched and often about lesser known events, her book about Averkamp was called "de stomme van Kampen". I read all of her historical books when I was around 14 years old I think, and due to the stories I remember much more about history than through history lessons. I do much better if I have a (fictional) person whose life interests me.
Woooow, good job sis. Love the outfit, excellent implementation, you just made the old painting come alive, love the background of the photoshoot, lovely model, thanks for the video.
So nice,I learned to skate on quite similar wooden skates. When winters were still really cold here in the Netherlands . I loved to skate. It was so much fun.
I love this! I also really love the paintings as references. As a painter, it would be so cool if you guys in the historical costuming community could pair up with painters and do some portrait and life paintings. I think it would be interesting from a painting perspective and a fun use of all your costumes. :)
Thank you so much for doing a 17th-century outfit! I'm writing my PhD thesis on the first half of this century, and I love to see it coming to life thanks to your excellent skills. Also, "Kitty, co ty robisz?"
This was awesome! I'm dutch and I had to analyze one of the paintings you used for reference for an art class, and seeing you bring it to life is super cool Also I love it when you sprinkle in little bits of Polish into your videos lol (like with your cat)
Your projects are really cool and it blends well, it looked like it was straight from 17th century. I just hope film directors put this kind of effort when making a historic movie.
You’re research and skills warrant any assumptions and interpretations you choose to make - you’ve earned the right. I truly love all of the effort you put into to portray realistic, yet fun, reveals.
I really enjoyed watching you speed sew your way through this. Your methods are very similar to mine, and it's nice to see someone else just whack some fabric together.
Absolutely gorgeous 🙌 The amount of hours that went into sewing by hand seems outrageous. Thank you for putting up with it to show such a beautiful project. Loved the take with the modern music. Timeless grimaces 😍😅

I'm pretty sure you tied those skates incorrectly, usually there are loops at 4 points ( which these seemed to have ) and then you take the long strap/cord and feed it through all 4 loops, leaving you with the loose ends at the back of the skate. This would then be brought to the back of the ankle, where they'd be crossed and then brought back to the front of the ankle where you'd tie them. Though some of these skates have a leather backing which eliminates the need to wrap the strap around your ankle. These skates are called "houtjes" or "Friese doorlopers" in Dutch you should find pictures if you Google that 😊
Gosia coming in to help with the fur thing and having the MOST sibling angst face 🤣 such a mood
This was amazing!!
I learned to skate on these as a small child (which sounds very long ago but it was the nineties, so...)
Terrible in every single way to skate in, they usually ended up all askew under your feet or even on top of it, and you basically became a maniacally, uncontrollably gliding toddler with machetes on her feet, but still, such fun!
The design is called "Friese doorlopers" (Frisian run throughs) and a lot were tied with thick cotton or linen straps, so that's not too historically inaccurate, I'd guess?
oooh- I remember you talking about dutch 17th century projects back in 2018 in the “talking about my fav fashion history eras” video- the profecy has happend😌
yess! good memory!
@ thanks! :) when one doesn’t have a life of their own, they must rely on memorizing other people’s lifes💪😌
A bardcore version of an Avril Lavigne song would have been perfect for this.
Oh wow, I'd love to see a collab with Karolina and that bardcore covers guy (damn I'm brainfarting his name rn ... Argal? Algal? Algel? Algae?)
someone make this
the only Avril Lavigne song I know is Hello Kitty LOL the bardcore version= Greetings Feline!
yeah the video title is a reference to the sk8er boi lyrics by avril lavigne so makes sense
Please tag von blingin and make this a reality
Sure, there was probably a proper way of making 18th century dresses, but if you were some random dressmaker in Sweden and your customer asked you to create the latest French fashion with nothing but a fashion plate to go on, you were going to wing it.
I spit out my proverbial tea when you said what you were making. I'm from the NL and it's so cool to see this historical dress made! This was great!
I wonder if in a few honderd years people will be looking at photos of a jeans and think: "how did they do it?" and as a Dutch girl, love the paintings and this beautiful recreation, what I do not love is the old timey Dutch silhouette what I call the up side down tulipe: no curves at the top and way to wide in the hips, fashion is weird
Honestly you look super cool, let's bring back 17th century winter outfits please
Yeah, loving the top half, especially! Could see making the bottom Half @MorganDonnor's "Adventure pants"! They are also red & black.
What a mash up!
Take a shot every time Karolina says “speculation”
I love those times when you go ‘yeah that looks about right’ it makes it so much more fun to create and recreate
The fact you actually used THE RIGHT TERMS when discussing Amsterdam and North Holland and not just calling the Netherlands Holland like a wet towel, may your pillow always be cold and your blankets always comfy and warm🥰
Man, I kinda wanted to see you actually skate using those. I could imagine a public ice skating rink and you just skate past them wearing the entire ensemble!
as a dutch girl i am so obsessed w this, i've seen these kinds of outfits in painting all my life so it's SO cool to see it come to life!! thank you Karolina i will now be turning into a skater girl
Always stunned by how accurate the attire reveal looks based on the paintings that you look at!!! Talk about a view that takes you back in time! Thank you for your talents!!!!!
I was active in a medieval/ren. reenactment group for several years and it taught me a TON about garment research, pattern creation, and modification. Making a garment from a modern pattern takes all the fun and challenge out of it.
As a person who loves history and ice skating, this was the perfect video for me. Thanks Karolina, you always do a great job!
detachable sleeves is actually so clever, no more issues with movement? yes please!
Karolina is a great person! I love her huge amount of knowledge and research.
You're not cringyyyy! You've got style. That was really creative and 😎.
I like this, I am so interested in how people like us dressed in the olden days because, let's face it ,we are not the ultra rich people....peasant core ....and I always wanted to make a sarafan from Russia I will some day. and.... I don't think those ladies who made their clothes in the olden days were perfect either...they made do with what they had and yes pieced it when they made a mistake...we see that is extant garments.
LOVE IT! I’m sure working with fake fur was a major pain but it ended up looking great. The image of you wearing the outfit sitting on the bridge is amazing. I can see that as a painting itself. (Also, nice Slytherin jumper you wore while doing some of your piecing and sewing. #SlytherinsRepresent! )
Those skates! The fur! The whole outfit! A true winter princess. Love, love, love it❣️❄️❣️❄️❣️
She's stunning as a dutch peasant princess isn't she? 😍
Love the skates! As a kid there were several kids who learned to iceskate on 'houtjes'. My ankles couldn't handle them but still it's a good childhood memory.
In the USA in the 60's girls had skates that were horrible. Basically soft leather with no support. Amazed I didn't permanently ruin my ankles !
I just wrote pretty much the same comment! Learned to skate on them, back in the 90s. My ankles much prefer the hard plastic skates I've got now (with the longer gliders). They're still real pretty.
The little jaunty tune playing is gonna be stuck in my head for the next five years.
Well I didn't know I needed a partlet until now. This ended up being absolutely stunning.
So fun to watch! I learned to ice skate on these ('houtjes', which would translate to 'woodlets'), we tied them with shoelaces. Very compact and portable, and it's nice you can take them off and walk on your normal shoes if you want to. You don't see the wooden ones a lot outside second-hand shops, but Zandstra has made a modern version with a wider platform and straps that's quite popular with more casual ice skaters.
The absolute mood of switching the language mid sentence
Love seeing some old non-english outfits! PS the outfit looks like it turned out so well!
You did a wonderful interpretation of that painting! The more you learn, the easier it becomes to Speculate on how things were made. There are some resources out there, but so few for working class clothes. I’ve been obsessed with amateur researching 16th century working class clothing for almost 35 years.
And I often do my hand sewing while watching you do yours.
This was incredibly fun! And despite the no-doubt-painful process of dealing with the faux fur, I think the partlet in particular is delightful.
that outfit is honestly so pretty you'd fit right in in an episode of outlander lol
the kitty "helping" is adorable :"))
Shout out to Filemon for being such a helpful little lad the whole time, #tunaForFilemon
Also, does anyone have any advice on looking for visual reference on pesant 14th century clothing?
Is it mens or womens clothing?
Ayy duod! Great to see you here😄
Honestly, it really depends on the part of 14th century and location...there is huge difference between lets say 1310 and 1350 or 1390.... Also scandinavian are different to central Europe and that is different to Spanish culture. I myself attempt central European peasant at around 1310, I'd recomend Maciejewski bible or codex Manesse (see the trubadours or vendors, but most of the main characters are noble). As I said, it really depends on the area and time.
@@cristianaveloso4903 mostly women's but both would also be great. And as for the region: vaguely eastern Europe
@@Yoeri22 hey! Haha, world is so small 😚
I think it's so cool that you're making something from my country! My grandmother still warn traditional clothing as a child. But was too rebellious as a teenager to keep it up XD
Your creation turned out so awesome and gorgeous! I had seen two or three videos of yours before, but this definitely made me realise I hadn't yet subscribed for some weird reason... ^^
And I'm gonna show my mom!
Wow Karolina! This is so amazing. Also i love that you went out in the snow. Jut from looking at the painting, it's hard to imagine the scene in real life and in the beginning even thought "Why would they wear that? some historical fashion is just plain ugly", but seeing the outfit IRL makes so much more sense. It looks elegant and comfortable to wear, and i can totally imagine som dutch ladies in 1600-something fool around on the ice and have fun
This was so cool. LOVED the final look. It really reminded me of the welsh traditional clothes that still get put on for St davids day and school things, really similar in look.
It’s always a good day when Karolina posts
What a cool recreation! I like the partlet, I would wear that lol. Also super jealous of the house you stayed in for your winter vacation! I looooove houses with wooden walls like that. Idk it just calls my ancestral DNA lol. Supposedly I do have Dutch ancestors. I wonder if they ever wore that outfit at the time 🙂
I loved the sudden change in vibe at 19:08
I can't sew to save my life (though I expect a life-saving-sewing situation is unlikely to arise) but I really dig watching you apply your mad creative and detective skills to the mystery of the Dutch skater's garments. Also, red is definitely your color! 💗
That outfit was adorable! I think your pure speculation bits seemed very reasonable.
The outfit looks stunning on you. Especially the hat and fur framing your face. 😱
Its really neat something dutch specific! Rather then broadly english / french, variety is the spice of life!
Setting aside how utterly talented she is, every time I watch her I just laugh my head off 😂😂❤️ such a little comedian xx
Hendrick Averkamp! His painting bring me so much joy. What we know of his life is super interesting. :D I remember reading a book about his life from a historical writer, who also wrote things like crusade in jeans etc. :)
Aside from the skirt length (give us more ancle! ;) ) it looks like a copy of the dress in the painting! :)
Oh that's so cool. I used to read Kruistocht In Spijkerbroek all the time! I didn't know they wrote about painters too!
@@HolandaChiquita Thea Beckman wrote a lot of historical fiction, most of it is well researched and often about lesser known events, her book about Averkamp was called "de stomme van Kampen". I read all of her historical books when I was around 14 years old I think, and due to the stories I remember much more about history than through history lessons. I do much better if I have a (fictional) person whose life interests me.
Yush love that book! (well I haven't read it in ages but as a teenager I loved it!)
As a Dutch girl i absolutely love how you're representing our culture! I admire your dedication, 10/10
"screams mister collins" makes sense... he screamed protestant AF so the dutch influence would be huge!
I cant be on zoom without knitting 😆 doing handicrafts is the only way to stay sane when on video calls 😂
Woooow, good job sis. Love the outfit, excellent implementation, you just made the old painting come alive, love the background of the photoshoot, lovely model, thanks for the video.
So nice,I learned to skate on quite similar wooden skates. When winters were still really cold here in the Netherlands . I loved to skate. It was so much fun.
I love this! I also really love the paintings as references. As a painter, it would be so cool if you guys in the historical costuming community could pair up with painters and do some portrait and life paintings. I think it would be interesting from a painting perspective and a fun use of all your costumes. :)
3:37 *Okay these parts of the video are so well made.*
Better than those historical Disney princess drawing
I love it when you recreate scenes from paintings.
Thank you so much for doing a 17th-century outfit! I'm writing my PhD thesis on the first half of this century, and I love to see it coming to life thanks to your excellent skills. Also, "Kitty, co ty robisz?"
This was awesome! I'm dutch and I had to analyze one of the paintings you used for reference for an art class, and seeing you bring it to life is super cool
Also I love it when you sprinkle in little bits of Polish into your videos lol (like with your cat)
I love watching you work on historical pieces that take guesswork. And that partlet is awesome *wonders if I should make a partlet for everyday wear*
just whispered into my empty room "oh my god that cat speaks polish"
wonderful a video as ever!
Ok but why is this such a fit?? Loved this!! Especially you trying to walk in those skates. Quality content as usual!!
You are the weirdest mix between old fashion and modern memes but in the best way possible.
Your projects are really cool and it blends well, it looked like it was straight from 17th century. I just hope film directors put this kind of effort when making a historic movie.
The ending of your adventure, with the music change, was so funny 🤍 love that
You’re research and skills warrant any assumptions and interpretations you choose to make - you’ve earned the right. I truly love all of the effort you put into to portray realistic, yet fun, reveals.
Idk why but i think its cool to see people talk about things related to where i live lmao
I really enjoyed watching you speed sew your way through this. Your methods are very similar to mine, and it's nice to see someone else just whack some fabric together.
Absolutely gorgeous 🙌
The amount of hours that went into sewing by hand seems outrageous. Thank you for putting up with it to show such a beautiful project.
Loved the take with the modern music. Timeless grimaces 😍😅
