  • All of my machine sewn 18th century shirt advice, after having made 40+ of the things.
    I would have put "18th century shirt" in the title, but I figure more people are likely to search for pirate shirt, poet shirt, vampire shirt, etc., and I want to help people who are unfamiliar with rectangular construction!

    Edit: Ok NOW it does have a pedal, because I bought one and added it, and it's working again. So I was wrong about the motor, it was the contacts after all.
    Very annoyed at the repair guy, because I did specifically ask him about the contacts, and he said he looked in there and they were fine.
    ~
    no there's nothing wrong with my machine's foot pedal, it doesn't have one! It just has a knee lever! I think the problem is in the potted motor, and unfortunately the repair guy hadn't seen one before.

    • @ruthnelson2144

      @vincentbriggs1780 Your machine is definitely an old guy. I'm told they are fairly simple mechanically speaking. You might try searching the internet for a rebuilt motor for that model. It shouldn't be too hard to put in. It would be worth the effort because even in its current condition it is and always will be better than the "newer" one in your video.

    • @vincentbriggs1780
      @vincentbriggs1780  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +11

      @@ruthnelson2144 Yes, there's lots of information on repairing old Singers on the internet! I've found some posts about refurbishing potted motors, so I may try that. I've borrowed another Singer for the moment.
      The newer one isn't that much newer, and it's a really good model! Very ugly, but very well built.
      It's a Pfaff 360, and I think is from the 1960's. (which would make it only about 20 years younger than my Singer)
      I got the Pfaff at an estate sale for 25 bucks, with plenty of feet and spare bobbins, and it looks like it's barely been used.
      It turns out one of the common problems with those ones is that there's a protective waxy finish to keep the insides from rusting and it hardens and jams up the insides over the years. I've got most of it unstuck, but there's still something not right with the side to side motion, and it's now only doing a tiny awful zig zag. I haven't touched it in a few weeks, but I found the service manual on the internet archive, and hopefully can get my engineer father to help with it.
      (And once it's back to working order I'll have a machine that can do zigzag! I've never had that!)

    I’ve been sewing for over 50 years and I love your meticulous nature so much. I don’t like the people who crank out sewing just to make a video. Their seams and construction are amateurish and don’t meet my old fashioned standards. You are very much appreciated for your details and all that you do. You also explain well and are a joy to watch. Thank you so much for who you are and doing what you do so well.

    the Front Slit & Patch section - if I could facepalm hard enough to send myself into the stratosphere I would. I have always had problems with the inner corner of slits like that and have always chastised myself for not manipulating the fabric well enough to avoid the inner V corner being slightly raw, even with a patch. I had never considered doing the button hole stitching detail. The urge to rush to my table and start cutting a shirt just to do this is quite immense. Oh my god.

    appreciate what you are all about, admire your knowledge, and skill, and patience and
    attention to detail.

      Most of my stockings are from Sock Dreams, and the shoes are from American Duchess, though I bought them some years ago and they don't appear to have that style available at the moment.
      (Also, thank you! I do wish I was a bit faster at making these, but I'm not fussed at all about upload schedules. Though it would be nice to make something shorter for the next one..)

    Weird idea but, would you be interested in making a video about the different types of fabric your prints are available as and what you'd make with the various prints/fabrics? I think it'd generate interest in your prints, exucate people on possible projects and would be fun to see you use a dinosaur or rainbow beastie print to make a frock coat or accessory with!

  • @ruthnelson2144
    @ruthnelson2144 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

    It's a good technique to avoid bulk by hand tying end threads and then hiding them as you show BUT another method is to shrink your stitch length to almost nothing for the last 3 or 4 stitches and then cut the thread very close to the fabric surface. I promise it stays closed. This is especially easy with your antique Singer since it just involves moving the reverse level to "not quite" reverse.
    Also you can tug on the bobbin thread enough to pull the needle thread to the bottom and then firmly tug the needle thread only. It seriously locks those thread babies securely in place.
    Hope this makes sense. Love the videos.

I could always use more 18th century shirts

    You are the first person in years of looking that said what to do with the neck gussets and neck gathers. Thank you! FYI, as you guessed, the gutterman cotton thread you have (on the beige spools) is their hand quilting thread - it's quite hard and I think lightly waxed, and it's great for hand basting or sewing. They have a machine sewing cotton thread on more brown-tan spools that is very similar to their polyester - I prefer it because it's a little less sharp/rough. It comes in a ton of colors - I think all the same colors as their poly thread.

    Watching this while hand sewing a late 19th century corset (no I don't know why I did this to myself) and glad I'm not the only one who obsessively writes down the tiniest measurement details.

    • @bunhelsingslegacy3549
      @bunhelsingslegacy3549 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I use graph paper to map out my rectangles-and-gores dresses (essenially shifts made out of flannel),. usually because I'm trying to use every single scrap of a limited piece of fabric (I can make a whole dress with 2m of fabric now) and I can't do it just with straight math despite an engineering degree, so don't feel bad about needing to draw stuff out, it's just how some brains work. And if you write it ALL down, then you know what to change the next time, if something wasn't quite right, or if your body goes through some changes. I also leave myself notes on how things fit and things I'd change if I remade the garment. I keep it all in a three-ring binder, each project's pattern and design notes crammed into its own page protector.

      As you said, no reason any of this can't be hand sewn, I have hate/hate relationship with most of my machines so I end up doing a lot of hand sewing. I sometimes do construction stitches on my shirts with the antique hand crank machine when I just need to get a project done but hand sewing is generally easier than arguing with any of my electric machines. I'm looking forward to some hand-felling soon...

    There is a variety of things I love about this video that was both helpful and fascinating, I'm going to try and narrow it down into categories so this comment isn't a novel (I've a bad habit of doing that lol) Firstly this is going to be an extra when i make future shirts for my 18th century character That I portray because seeing the process is much easier then reading the step by step and have no visual references except in writing. secondly I was very relieved when I saw the part about the gusset part because when I made my first 18th century shirt I thought I put the gusset in wrong but now I know I had it right. Thirdly a fun video to watch after a long day while working on one's own sewing project. (Mainly hand basting) which I agree is so much helpful especially in a preview of what the garment pieces looks like conjoined before running it through a machine or hand sewing. :) And lastly a non sewing related comment) I am loving the color changes with the nails, especially the style around 11 minutes in the yellow to black color looked cool.

    Lots of fiddly work, but the results are worth it. A beautiful shirt.
    The speed issue might mean the contacts in the foot pedal need to be cleaned. Not sure if the repair person thought to check that. Hope you are able to get it fixed.
    Thanks.

      Thank you! There is no pedal, the machine just has a knee lever, and I think the problem is in the motor.

    • @rufferstuff9148
      @rufferstuff9148 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @@vincentbriggs1780 The lever could be the issue then. As you press the control (foot pedal or knee lever) it sends increasing power to the motor making it run faster. There can be corrosion on the copper plates or soot on the graphite plates in the rheostat causing issues. There can be other issues, but that is where I would look first for a speed problem. Hope this helps. I have trouble explaining things sometimes and either give too little or too much information.
      Thanks again for the tutorial.

    You might be interested in traditional Cluny lace in England. Places like those are slowly being lost. They still use the original historical machines which have patterns and finishes you can't get from modern lace.

    "You can do whatever you want. Except sewing the heart patch without basting it. Don't do that. If you do that, it will turn out wonky and you'll get stabbed by lots of pins." I generally spend too much time arguing with most of my machines to bother with that, I'll just hand-sew it.... I do love the diamond idea though, it's like doing a facing just for the point of the cut. I'll have to try that the next time I'm trying to reinforce a slit...
    And seriously, I'm always asking myself why I don't automatically add armpit gussets in every single shirt or dress I make. They make the fit SO MUCH BETTER, and can even accommodate a bit of extra bumpy chest when the measurements lied again.
    I pretty much always mark my stitch lines, otherwise everything turns out wonky, I apparently have not got the skill to pin or sew stuff properly without the lines, so I don't put seam allowances on my patterns I generate. Seam allowance is negotiable and there's a lot of wiggle room, but stitch lines are important. That pin through the corners then leve it there till you get another pin in it, that's my preferred method these days for lining up my corners properly.
    I discovered with my tighter fitting (but still roomy) tunic shirts that the side slit at the hip has to go up to about two inches below where I bend, otherwise it catches on my thighs when I sit down. I'm not sure how that applies to being tucked into pants though... things to consider.
    I may draw an angry face on torn armpits from now on, thank you for that...

    "The bumpy variety of chest" ❤ and yes having made a shirt from Bernadette Banner's tutorial mixed with another creator who used a deeper neckline it definitely can get risque.
    I wore it out but with a (modern midbust) corset over the top. Would probably wear something under to go out in it otherwise. Or just let things be free lol.

      Maybe don't pressure creators to push out more content, especially when they told you in the thing that the next one on this topic is still far away? I love Vincent's videos but they are obviously a lot of work and none of us know his situation better than he does.

    I have eagerly awaited this video (so much so I would check your channel every so often just to ensure I hadn't missed it...often rewatching older videos) and it does not disappoint. I am very glad to hear you advocate for attaching sleeves while flat; it is So much easier & now I won't feel like I'm taking a shortcut. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, creativity, attention to detail, passion & levity. I'm here for any and all you'd like to share (including as many glove - or whatever sewing - iterations as you'd care to film) & wish you well. Splendid. Thank you.

    I have been felling my seams all toward the gusset🤯. Can’t wait till the next shirt so I can try it the other way. Looks so much easier

    • @cynthiadugan858
      @cynthiadugan858 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Have you tried taking apart the foot pedal on your machine and cleaning it out real good? Yes, the tech who looked at it should have done that but don’t blindly trust that they did. As a person who strongly prefers sewing with vintage machines, I have learned the hard way that there are a lot of machine service/repair places that don’t want to mess with vintage so they will tell you that they couldn’t find/fix your problem… hoping you will buy a new one.

    • @vincentbriggs1780
      @vincentbriggs1780  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      There is no foot pedal, only a knee lever! The guy said he looked in there where the controls are, so I think the problem is the motor.
