I am actually /super/ tempted to make a video reviewing the five best and five worst ladies costumes in Red Dead Redemption 2, but it would be so different and out of left field that I feel like it would be a mistake to spend a bunch of hours on 🤣
@@TheClosetHistorian That sounds SUPER fun and interesting to me!! 💖 I don't know if the algorithm would be happy about it, but I can't be the only person who would like it, haha.
I'm in my mid 50's and my oldest son is now 27. When he was in middle and high school I watched him play video games all the time and loved it. I wanted to learn so bad and he tried to teach me many times over the years. I never could master walking and shooting at the same time but I gave him hours of laughter with my determination! Lol I did however become a heck of a sniper, you pick your skill set and go with it I guess. I love getting the sewing content and those memories, Thanks ❣️
Thank you Kera! I am truly terrible with a controller, I play games on my PC computer! I found learning to game with the mouse and keyboard soooo much easier ✨
Gamer, history buff, designer, fashion something-something, and aspiring seamstress. All of these topics you cover are relevant to our interests. You are appreciated.
I wouldn’t be making everything I am making without you. I wouldn’t even be considering making any of my dream clothes without you. And what I am making fills my heart with joy and you are a major part of what got me here. Just wanted you to know that. Thank you for all you share. Thank. You. 💝
the whole thing is gorgeous, but that sequin work elevates it beyond! it's almost like you're peeking at chain mail through the garment, which is a super cool effect to achieve! well done! and you can reach out to the community any time you need a boost - your creativity is a completely different flavor from mine, so i'm always amazed at what you dream up! (i prefer crocheting afghans and occasionally other items, which i enjoy all pieces of the process.)
I would too. The ones so far are so beautiful and intriguing and all other words that mean fabulous! Your work, your voice, your humor, your shows...what more can I say but Wow!
I just realized that watching your left hand is like watching a garden sew. Its sort of magical. Both your hands are amazing! This jacket is stunning. The beading takes it beyond even amazing. I must get out my dictionary!
I am a gamer and a quilter (but i wanted to learn to make a dress and stumbled onto your channel several years ago and was so fascinated by your beautiful clothes and gorgeous designs. I used to bead and do embroidery and stuff so i love watching everything you share with us. I am actually making a jacket because you have inspired and made me feel like I can do it. ❤ we will see how it turns out...but I finished the hood already and love how that turned out. 😊
Hi Bianca, I love the jacket, the colour is insane and the partlet finishes the ensemble beautifully. Don’t listen to the haters, they probably don’t know one end of a needle from the other. You are talented, gorgeous and we all love you.
Just remember: People who have no talent are more often than not the people critiquing people for theirs. You have a community so inspired by you and what you do. I know people will say dont let it get to you but to let it get to you is just a human response! What I will say is shift your focus away from it as best you can to the many who love you and your work!
I LIKE your hair short. Put a pin, brooch, barrette in it for decoration, and the heck with the naysayers. So glad you choose to pose in front of a light backdrop, so the garment details can be seen better.
I LOOOVE how this outfit turned out. I've been sewing basics for a while now to fill out the holes in my wardrobe, but I'm tired of that so I want my next project to be completely fabulous and *NOT* practical just for the love of it.
I just love how talented you are. How you can look at a piece of fabric, come up with a design (or vice versa), and magically make it happen. I am in awe of your creative eye. And that fabric is just exquisite!!! I thought it was one that you made with the stickers. Well done. ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
I'm a self taught seamtress and been learning about designing. Your videos for me are the best learning videos for me to learn about designing an outfit especailly with me making my own drag outfits.
Ooooo. Vintage sewing machine devotea (collector) here and 1937 99 hand crank user as well .... except for the belt, where metal interacts with metal above and below needs oil, too. Just love ❤ watching your channel, designs, and the fact you are using a beautifully kept vintage Singer. You go girl!!!!
It looks so unbelievably good, Bianca. Just watching your videos makes me feel accomplished. I may not be practicing much sewing yet, but I am learning all the same and that's not even calculating the value of inspiration alone, your talent is a gift ❤
I gasped audibly when i saw the end result if the partlet. I was skeptical, but it is absolutely stunning. The beading and the scooped up back hem on it!! Gorgeous
I have a white model 530 home industrial sewing machine from 1971 that weighs 35 lb. It can do three layers of leather and six layers of denim without yelling at me. I only needed to get it serviced when I moved 6 hours away in the middle of summer and I guess it heated up the metal enough to throw things out of alignment. But I paid $25 for it out of flea market and it worked straight away. It never gives me tension issues and it's so much quieter. I had to use a plastic machine while mine was being serviced and my dog hated it.
Bianca THE VISION you have shown here with this entire series has been SO IMPRESSIVE. Love to see all of these more in depth videos about it. 2000000/10. Thank you always for the inspiration.
I think letting other's comments get to you is a universal reaction when one gets run down. I think it is because we are searching for reasons, treatment, or solutions to how we feel. Hang in there.
Thank you again for the gorgeous inspiration and for leaving in your mistakes so we can learn how to recover! That you continue to emphasize the basics and methodologies of how to draft and sew well has helped me immeasurably. Don't worry about the house hunting, you'll find the one that's right for you so long as you keep up a realistic search. It's utterly exhausting, but totally with it in the end. You got this!
Sooooo, I watched this and then went straight to Cartwright's website for the 900th time (they do have some neat shapes in their closeout I hadn't seen before, though most of them are silver and/or gold only). My husband saw the transition (the man practically crawled over my shoulder) and said he might have to send you a 'strongly worded' message about the influence you have over me when it comes to embellishments. 🤭 Also, 10/10 would wear any of the outfits from your Look Books. There is AT LEAST one outfit/item from each that demands my full attention. Especially from Sanctus, Verdigris, Shine, Arcana, Synapse, Saboteur, and Le Bat en Rouge. You are a spectacular retrofuturistic goth queen. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Oh the beading is stunning! Everything you make is amazing! I have no idea how someone could miss the underlying era of most of your makes even without the hair! Do whatever you want with your hair and ignore them! Honestly you just have to look at the style lines!! I add seam allowance too. Way too much chance of me forgetting what I was doing and not adding it when cutting! I also now mark my pieces and what I did to them! It’s truly sad how often I lose track of what I’m doing!
Your designs are so stunning! You have really inspired me to dive deep into learning how to draft my own patterns. I've been trying to perfect a basic bodice pattern for myself but I've been struggling with getting the bust to fit properly since I have a decently small bust and an overall rectangular body shape. You've given me reassurance that I'll get there eventually. You've taught me so much and I look forward each week to see your latest video!
This was a two for one, you spoil us. Have you ever heard of tambour/ari embroidery? It wouldn’t have worked for this particular project, but there have been several of them that have made me think it would have worked very well with since it’s specifically for sequins and beads. I’m trying to learn so I can one day make my things as beautiful as you do yours.
What you create is genius artistry. These clothes are exceptional (and not modern like you said) and although I don't like sequence I am in awe of your creativity and patience. I hope you remember the good comments better and let them carry you.
Rockstar is in my home city (and we have an excellent gallery of historical fashion (all kinds of things even 20th century);in our national museum, so if you ever wanted to nudge them in person on the costume issues in the game, my spare room is at your disposal
I sew and game (I just don't typically comment, though your previous RDR2 comments tempted me). Red Dead is awesome. I watched a friend play through the campaign (haven't gotten around to it myself), and with a small group of friends I play RDO. We have it set up with a private server so it is just us (and the AI characters) so we can just pony and chill, or work on earning stuff if we feel so inclined. I also really like video games for the story, but it is nice to have options where I can game with my friends as well. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (on PC or PS, not sure if it ever released for Xbox) is a great game with good story and game design, and the second one has recently released. I mostly watch my friends play through games, because I am NOT terribly skilled or patient with games, but mostly we all game together in RDO or Gears 5 these days. As someone who games and sews, it brings me joy to hear what games other crafty folk are playing. Also, I believe there are multiple endings to Red Dead Redemption 2, depending on what choices you made throughout the game. Love your work, and definitely in awe of your skill. I am slowly trying to build up my sewing skills and find the methods that work best for me.
1) As always this is SO beautiful and I am obsessed with this whole collection 2) if you did more 1890s stuff I would be so over the moon (I'm still trying to work up the nerve to do it myself) and 3) I don't know what you're into but if you HAVEN'T seen iZombie, I just started rewatching it with a friend and I am now reminded of how absolutely charming and funny it was. So a TV rec for you maybe...!
LOVE THIS!!!!! married a gamer and i love games that we can do together. meaning that he plays while i work on crochet or hand sewing. my favs are Mass Effect, Dragon Age (we named our dogs after the second one) and LA Noir. it would be fun to see all the ins and outs of the old singer. where does the oil go? anyway you are AMAZING and i LOVE watching you!!! LOVE FROM UTAH!!
oof! lovely fabric! pity you couldn't make it reversible. red dead 2 is a gorgeously designed game. also gotta remember, people living out in the frontier were sometimes years behind on fashion and news. everything moved via trains and horses... And the complainers... firstly, this is your channel and your style is a mix of inspirations. secondly, fashion is always changing, always. thirdly, you do look lovely with longer hair curled 1930's style, but you do as you like hon. it's your hair! 🙂
😹😹😹TV what’s that, I have not watched TV since 2016, I watch TH-cam most days 😹😹 I love this fabric, I have something like this in blue and gold, bought it a while ago, found it in some shop and fell in love with it, did not know what I was going to make so bought 5 meters just to ensure I have enough😹😹 I’m the same as you, I have seam allowance within the pattern pieces, I think as you say so many would buy patterns without seam allowance and wonder why it would not fit. Most patterns have it added, I only know of one that never have seam allowance so I always made sure to never buy them in the past. My teacher was the same drummed into all of use to make sure everything had the seam allowance added. As they say, all the best things are worth waiting for. Doubly so when it comes to your dream home. I love how you used both sides of the fabric as both sides are stunning. I find sometimes the wrong side is prettier than the right side, and when I’m in doubt I ask Dad which side he likes, funny how he always confirms my choices without even knowing. I have spent years buying beads and assortment of items used for sewing on garments in the past 14 plus years. I actually found the very first seed beads I had ever bought back in 1983 when Mom and I had sneaked off for a girls day out at the brand new shopping mall that had been built in the Sydney Western suburbs 😹😹we found this cute bead shop in an out of the way spot and I found 11/0’s oil slick beads, had no idea what I would use them for but I knew I just had to have them 😹😹😹funny really as those same beads are a 1/4 of the price today than they were in ‘83 🤔😳yep they still had the docket with them which gave me the date and price for 2oz packet of beads 😹😹I had bought 4 packets for $23 AUS now for that price I can buy 100 grams 😹😹oh how times have changed. You can’t buy these beads anymore seen ones close in colour but not the same. So yes I have kept them as is for that special project 😹😹 I love the jacket it has come out stunning, I’m wishing they had the red/gunmetal in the shop where I found the blue and gold, why is it they only ever stock a few samples lol
I love the sequin details on the partled, it looks very cool and metallic. And the fabric itself is amazing, I understand your pain in finding only a couple of yards of it 😢
I love both Red Dead 1, 2, and the Undead DLC! I’m terrible at gaming, but I thoroughly enjoy watching my husband play. The narrative is my interest too. And yes, I’m at a point where I too am annoyed at the lack of historical research in video games. I feel your pain. As always, a gorgeous make ❤
Your channel and videos are truly inspiring and amazing. Your garments and designs are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your art, skills, and designs with us! Your videos have truly made me a better sewist.
I love your channel so much! I've been watching through your older videos, and you're really encouraging me to try drafting my own clothes. Thanks so much for sharing so many of your wonderful creations!!
I have never played a video game and i have no interest in them. But i am more than happy to listen to you talk about them and their fashion choices. My husband just started playing cyberpunk something and I knew what it was because of you. You educate me on pattern drafting and all kinds of other strange and interesting things
I got a Singer 66 from a friend's mom as payment for dogsitting for a weekend a couple of months back and had to change out the carbon brushes on the motor - I couldn't believe how nice it was to sew on once I had it cleaned it! Mine is in the case with the knee lever and I can't tell you how much I *love* that over the foot pedal or the electronic machine I have with a button to start/stop sewing.
I think you're awesome and I love your work. I've gotten several people into your channel since I started watching. I'm a gamer, crafter, writer myself. Always lovely to see you, thank you for sharing ❤
Your clothes are fabulous. One suggestion is to put interfacing in your "vampire" collar in the back to help it stand up. I think your ideas are quite remarkable!
I crossstitch, knit and crochet and am wanting to move into sewing mechine things. Your clothes and designs are amazing! I haven't missed a video in more than a year! I am here for all of your projects and talking points. for gaming topics if you like history things Assassin's Creed has some fun storyline I like to call history with a twist. Assassin's Creed Unity is a fun romp through Paris during the revolution.
Not bored by video game talk/costume analysis at all. It’d actually be interesting to hear more from you on the topic, not necessarily historical, but general aesthetics as well if you play any games that stand out. Outside the cosplaying community (which I personally have no interest in) there doesn’t seem to be alot of dedicated discussion, particularly from a lady perspective, of game costume design in interactive media. I have a few games that I think stand out strongly in the subject, but they’re few and far between. And as everyone has said, the work you do is amazing, unique and on a technical level far above other sewing channels I’ve come across. Although I don’t tackle as large of projects, watching your channel has pushed me to be more aware of the techniques I use on small projects, repairs and ready made clothing purchases. Don’t let the brain fumbles get you down.
Oh goodness, that is just lovely. Great eye for design and the awesome use of that gorgeous fabric! I checked out that sequin store, that is a pretty cool resource. Thank you!
I'm going to have to try that built in collar method you use for the partlet, I think it'd be cute on a vest. And the burrito method is awesome, I did that last vest I made and am very happy with the results. Except I needed to adjust the armscyes just a titch for lacing it as tight as I lace it.
For sequins, these are mostly standard circular ones, but I like getting mine from Illumination Fine Fabric. I found them by chance and I really like their stuff. If it helps, I really like watching your videos to try and understand more about how to make clothes work with me, not against me. I'm still debating if I should make basic block patterns now or wait until after I lose some weight.
I absolutely love your suiting videos! ❤ But if you wanted to cater to the more “practical” (aka boring, imho) clothing crowd, how about a set of work overalls? They’ll also come in handy for your house renovation projects.
Don’t ever let them get you down, Bianca I would wear anything you make, anywhere, anytime … and would slay doing so!!! Simply gorgeous.
I love that you pick shiny or iridescent materials. Its such an eye catcher.
My little crow brain says shiny 😅✨
I'm a gamer and newbie sewer! I like the gaming chat and would love a fashion review of video game costumes! And yes to more 1890s stuff!
I am actually /super/ tempted to make a video reviewing the five best and five worst ladies costumes in Red Dead Redemption 2, but it would be so different and out of left field that I feel like it would be a mistake to spend a bunch of hours on 🤣

I just realized that watching your left hand is like watching a garden sew. Its sort of magical. Both your hands are amazing! This jacket is stunning. The beading takes it beyond even amazing. I must get out my dictionary!
Thank you!! I still forget I have a fully floral arm and I see it all day every day 😂
SO beautiful! This whole collection should be in a movie!
I second that!
Amazing project and all those finishing touches just makes it look even more special

I actually found the very first seed beads I had ever bought back in 1983 when Mom and I had sneaked off for a girls day out at the brand new shopping mall that had been built in the Sydney Western suburbs 😹😹we found this cute bead shop in an out of the way spot and I found 11/0’s oil slick beads, had no idea what I would use them for but I knew I just had to have them 😹😹😹funny really as those same beads are a 1/4 of the price today than they were in ‘83 🤔😳yep they still had the docket with them which gave me the date and price for 2oz packet of beads 😹😹I had bought 4 packets for $23 AUS now for that price I can buy 100 grams 😹😹oh how times have changed. You can’t buy these beads anymore seen ones close in colour but not the same. So yes I have kept them as is for that special project 😹😹
I love the jacket it has come out stunning, I’m wishing they had the red/gunmetal in the shop where I found the blue and gold, why is it they only ever stock a few samples lol
Just beautiful. Your design, the fabric and you hair and extremely polished makeup. Thanks a lot for the partlet and the game recommendation as well 🙂
I love the sequin details on the partled, it looks very cool and metallic. And the fabric itself is amazing, I understand your pain in finding only a couple of yards of it 😢
Gooooooorgeous as always!!!!!! ❤
Stunning jacket and partlet, love your work, always amazing to watch what you are able to make, ❤
Thank you Lesley!
I love everything about these two projects! Wishing you good luck on the house-hunting front.
Yas! I so needed this right now ❤💕❤
Love your hand bead work, really elevates any project.
Seriously my favorite set of Sanctus. The parlet is so 🔥
Thank you Nicole!
Really fabby details!!!!!
Stunning
I love both Red Dead 1, 2, and the Undead DLC! I’m terrible at gaming, but I thoroughly enjoy watching my husband play. The narrative is my interest too. And yes, I’m at a point where I too am annoyed at the lack of historical research in video games. I feel your pain. As always, a gorgeous make ❤
Breathtakingly beautiful! That material was worth it!
Gorgeous as ever. And I did not expect a video game fashion critique in the middle!
Thank you! The women's styles are just the /one/ miss!! The rest of the game is so very good 😂
Your channel and videos are truly inspiring and amazing. Your garments and designs are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your art, skills, and designs with us! Your videos have truly made me a better sewist.
I love your channel so much! I've been watching through your older videos, and you're really encouraging me to try drafting my own clothes. Thanks so much for sharing so many of your wonderful creations!!
Thank you Sarah!
Your designs and sewing are amazing and I love them.
I have never played a video game and i have no interest in them. But i am more than happy to listen to you talk about them and their fashion choices. My husband just started playing cyberpunk something and I knew what it was because of you. You educate me on pattern drafting and all kinds of other strange and interesting things
I got a Singer 66 from a friend's mom as payment for dogsitting for a weekend a couple of months back and had to change out the carbon brushes on the motor - I couldn't believe how nice it was to sew on once I had it cleaned it! Mine is in the case with the knee lever and I can't tell you how much I *love* that over the foot pedal or the electronic machine I have with a button to start/stop sewing.
I think you're awesome and I love your work. I've gotten several people into your channel since I started watching. I'm a gamer, crafter, writer myself. Always lovely to see you, thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you Tiffany!!
Partlets rockin. Love.
I want a piece like this so much!!!! We have the very special taste!!!!
Your clothes are fabulous. One suggestion is to put interfacing in your "vampire" collar in the back to help it stand up. I think your ideas are quite remarkable!
Beautiful as always 💙
So nice. What an ensemble! Love the accessorizing and styling details
Thank you!
I crossstitch, knit and crochet and am wanting to move into sewing mechine things.
Your clothes and designs are amazing! I haven't missed a video in more than a year!
I am here for all of your projects and talking points. for gaming topics if you like history things Assassin's Creed has some fun storyline I like to call history with a twist. Assassin's Creed Unity is a fun romp through Paris during the revolution.
Thanks for the recc for sequins! I am planning to embellish a navy velvet cloak and that looks like a good place to start planning.
Wonderful!!!!
I love this beautiful top and partlet you look gorgeous as always in it 😁🇬🇧❤️
Thank you Jaki!
I absolutely love your style. You always look phenomenal in everything you make.
Thank you!
So lovely. Love the partlet. Hugs
Thank you Donna!
Not bored by video game talk/costume analysis at all. It’d actually be interesting to hear more from you on the topic, not necessarily historical, but general aesthetics as well if you play any games that stand out. Outside the cosplaying community (which I personally have no interest in) there doesn’t seem to be alot of dedicated discussion, particularly from a lady perspective, of game costume design in interactive media. I have a few games that I think stand out strongly in the subject, but they’re few and far between.
And as everyone has said, the work you do is amazing, unique and on a technical level far above other sewing channels I’ve come across. Although I don’t tackle as large of projects, watching your channel has pushed me to be more aware of the techniques I use on small projects, repairs and ready made clothing purchases. Don’t let the brain fumbles get you down.
Thank you! I really am tempted to break down the Red Dead 2 ladies clothes, maybe it will be my x-mas break project 😂
OMG this is gorgeous. I'm so jalous. I certanly think I'm going to make this if I find the right fabric. Thanks for the clear explanation.
Well executed. I always enjoy watching your techniques.
Thank you!
Impeccable and gorgeous as always 🌟❤️!!!
Thank you!
I was waiting for this video🎉 this jacket is just absolutely beautiful, perfection!! ❤
Thank you!
Oh goodness, that is just lovely. Great eye for design and the awesome use of that gorgeous fabric! I checked out that sequin store, that is a pretty cool resource. Thank you!
Thank you!
I just ordered some sequins from Idea2Sequins a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully the order is in transit.
I got my most recent order in just a month-ish, which was way better than the last few orders thankfully!
I was wondering how you were getting along with Red Dead 2. Such an awesome story!
Very pretty 😀
The details are amazing!!!
Stunning. Love your style. And videos. Thank you
Thank you Amy!
So beautiful ❤
I'm going to have to try that built in collar method you use for the partlet, I think it'd be cute on a vest. And the burrito method is awesome, I did that last vest I made and am very happy with the results. Except I needed to adjust the armscyes just a titch for lacing it as tight as I lace it.
For sequins, these are mostly standard circular ones, but I like getting mine from Illumination Fine Fabric. I found them by chance and I really like their stuff.
If it helps, I really like watching your videos to try and understand more about how to make clothes work with me, not against me. I'm still debating if I should make basic block patterns now or wait until after I lose some weight.
Fabulous!!!😊
I absolutely love your suiting videos! ❤ But if you wanted to cater to the more “practical” (aka boring, imho) clothing crowd, how about a set of work overalls? They’ll also come in handy for your house renovation projects.
Stunning ❤
