I love that you show not only “how” to do something, but also “how not” to do it. You are a wonderful inspiration for not being defeated! Thank you for the video.

Absolutely spot on. Those that are humble enough to admit their mistakes, or whatever one would like to call them, are the ones who are introspective, conscientious and driven enough to improve themselves. Therefore, they do actually improve. And, at the same time, they are the best teachers of both their area of focus and of their approach to reaching their goals. In fact, the latter is enough reason to take note - improving the way we improve ourselves. Angela is astounding as an artist, but I am most respectful and appreciative of her honesty and openness!

There's literally a less than zero chance that i will ever make a hoop skirt of any kind but I love watching the process of how to make these types of garments, and was fascinated by both the fail and the win. Kind of like watching people do advanced mathematic equations, I don't always "get" the logical part of sewing and wing it a lot...so watching someone really dig into a complex project like this is interesting beyond measure. Thanks for always being an inspiration!

I'm dying over the ruffly ribbons you used for boning channels. They are so cute! Who says functionality cant be pretty?😍

Thanks for including the process of making the hoop skirt that didn't turn out. It's a good reminder that things don't always work the first time, but that doesn't mean you should give up!

I always have a set of chop sticks in my sewing box for stuffing purposes

Lala Palooza What an utterly brilliant idea! I’m in the process of re-learning how to sew and tips like these are really helpful. Thank you for sharing!

Long metal size 8 knitting needles work amazingly well, too!

Sadly far too many of my projects have gone like this - I’m sure I can figure this out on my own... followed by much frustration, and some learning, but with no useable outcome, only to find at some later point that there were instructions to be had, easily, had I looked. Ironically, there are also a number of projects I’ve never started because I decided it would be smart to do some research and or try some things out before jumping in... and it became apparent that nope, this idea of mine was going to be so complex/time consuming/expensive it wasn’t worth it, or got bored of the idea once I’d spent some time doing the planning. The first version I learn more, the second version costs less, either way I rarely end up with a completed anything. Which is to say, kudos to your tenacity, may it continue to serve you well.

Yess bring us those failures, failing together is always more fun - and to top it off you don't give up but keep going until you've nailed it (:

I have a great tip for hoop steel. Use a cardboard box. I prefer an empty contractor's trash bag box. Put a hole in the side, just large enough to feed the steel out of. Put the rolled coil of steel in the box and feed the end of the coil out. Duck tape the box close. When cutting the coil make sure to leave enough of the steel feed coming out so it won't go back in the box. I figured this out after 7 stitches, four across the back of my hand, 3 across the cheek of my face, when I lost control of the steel banding and it tension slapped me.

Yay! I appreciate hearing other people's problem-solving stories because they help me think differently about logistical challenges I'm working with.

Take a shot everytime Angela says “bum-pad” ........... actually don’t

I wonder if the bum pad on the second attempt had been fully boned if that would have forced the hoop skirt into a more elliptical shape on it's own? It turned out great in the end though, and I love the effect of the ruffly ribbon boning channels on the skirt!

Considering the tension the boning would produce, that might be entirely correct.

I always enjoy your posts because you show how to salvage a project if it doesn't turn out how you wanted it to. You don't know how valuable that is! Also, I like your mermaid nail polish!

I love waking up to a new video made by you!

glad to see you back!

Thank you for posting your videos! I look forward to them so much, and I’m always so glad to see that you’ve posted a new one. I’ve learned so much about sewing from you, and I enjoy watching your progress as a seamstress. Your videos have a unique style - I love all the close-ups, the snark, the sense that you are on a journey. Your videos make me think about my own sewing challenges differently, and I laugh and chuckle, nod in sympathy, and smile in appreciation as I watch them. Sending thank you and good energy!

Can't wait to see the dress you make to go over this hoop skirt!

This video was perfect timing for me! I've been on a sewing binge (of normal current day pieces to hopefully add to my everyday wardrobe) and I keep running into problems! It's so frustrating! I look up to you so much, so hearing your tale with its retrospective humor and nuggets of hindsight wisdom helped me realize my hobby is a learning adventure and to just enjoy the ride. Take care Angela; as always I'll be eagerly looking forward to your next video! Happy sewing and creating!💜💜💜

The first version looks very ... like superhero! but no necessarily in a bad way, great shape on the second attempt! love it!

Another adventure in sewing. perseverance pays. Lovely, can't wait to see it with a dress.

I love your fabric choices for both attempts!

Thank you so much for posting this! Sometimes a project just needs a tweak or two and sometimes, it's just better to start over. But it's always helpful to see what the differences were between one project and its more successful sequel.

Very impressive...love your work Angela

Hi Angela. Thank you so much for demonstrating the need for pattern use, correct sewing, and perseverance. You always produce a great quality and useful video.

I love the final product as much as I love your nail polish! They were both mesmerizing!

I love that you didn't give up on it!

can i just say that i've followed you since you first started this channel (longtime fan from your blog!) and your videos and editing have gotten so professional and amazing and your narration is really natural and fun😊🧡

*I love the fact that you show your failures as well as your successes!*

Nobody who makes every seam a french seam can call herself "lazy". Great work!!!

As always, really interesting and fun to watch.

This was so awesome to watch!

It's so nice to see I'm not the only one who jumps into things hoping for the best and gets the worst. Lol. We're all human. Love the end product. I'm working on a 18th century dress but next I want to jump to a 19th century with all the trimmings. I never would have ever felt comfortable if it weren't for ladies like you showing us how it's done. You're amazing! 💜

A few years ago I made an 1860 Hoop, It was a lot of work. You made it look so easy !! Also , Love you nail polish.

I love watching your learning process too!

I'm glad you included footage of the failed attempt, it helps to see the whole process!

Your skill and dedication always inspire me. Can't wait to see this used under a dress eventually!

The sadly wistful music you chose was perfect. TFS 💚💚💚

Those weights were a brilliant idea! The second one is fab, and wouldn't have turned out as well without your first one...congratulations!

Thank you, i really enjoy the videos u make!

My very most favorite part: Opening scene: Angela's beautiful hands. Scene two: BANDAGES!!!! Uh, Miss Clayton, if I may, what misadventure did you have to cause that?

Haha, the first clip was actually filmed after the rest of the video! So my hands are fine now! But they went through a phrase where all my cuticles decided to flake and bleed like crazy for no apparent reason.

It looks lovely!

Cool! thanks for showing us both the fail and the success :D It's a good lesson ;)

You’re very persisted 😂 well done in the end 🤩 💃🏻

Your nails are so pretty!

Love your videos. I just saw today boning channels being made by cross stitching twill tape over the boning. This sounds harder and more hand damaging to me! I appreciate how nicely you finish seams and your persistence.

Thanks for helping me with sewing block ❤️❤️❤️

It's a meme, a fantasic meme, that french seams is explained in every video. Love it. And love victorian fashion.

Watching you pin stuff is sooo satisfying.

Thank you for sharing your mistakes as well as your successes.

Thanks for sharing the failure as well as the success.

Wow, I had no idea hoops were so complicated! I'm glad you didn't just set the first one on fire and give up, as the second set turned out beautifully.

I'm happy you did this video.

I can only imagine trying to travel with a weighted hoop skirt. I feel like TSA would have a lot of questions XD

Thanks Angela, kudos for sharing both attempts! And rest assured , we’ve all have been there: “I don’t need to make a mock-up, how hard can this be?” The second version looked very neatly!

your innuendo completed me 😂

I know I’ll never make this!but it was very entertaining to learn how you made yours

It would be great to see the dress you wear this with! So amazing what you can do!!

Thank you. This was fun.

The weights are genius!

Thank you!

Perseverance wins out!

Lovely hoopskirt adventures

Job well done 👍

I just started learning how to use a sewing machine and that grey/white polka dot fabric is the same one I bought to learn on 😅

Hi Angela!! Excellent vlog.. Your comment about boning & not being sexy, made me giggle.. I’ve used a screwdriver or two for stuffing, now I use chopsticks.. 💜💜🧵🧵

The stays on your dress form are stunning. Will we be getting a tutorial on those? I'd love to know more!!

Me gusta cuando muestras que no todo sale perfecto, gracias por compartir que no todo es coser y cantar...

Seeing someone do the same thing I do everytime I get a new pattern. Aka hating the first one with all the loathing of it's existence, and making a second that you love and will use time and time again!

Yes. Adjustable straps for something that needs to hang in a very specific angle. Nobody needs those. That's why backpacks don't have them!

So the ad for coffee was asking if I thought making a hallowe’en costume was intense compared to their coffee... I think the algorithms are becoming self aware because that is getting specific..!☕️

Hi love your Channel and I was wondering when the rest of the peacock gown is coming

The first one sorta reminded me of the bottom half of a Dalek! ☺️

Love it

You are very clever.

queen

LOL I love watching someone else design, I promise not to use your mistakes, they are yours alone.

The comment on boning sounding sexy took me way back to sewing parties in my Ren Faire days “I will bone this corset as it has never been boned before!”

Learning is not failing. 😉

Once more for all those at the back. Bumpad. LOL but seriously, how many hours of work was TWO hoop skirts? My hat's off to you.

I used to have an exercise set with those exact weights .... who knew they could be used for historical dress??? They haven't gotten a lot of use during my abs workout, that is for sure ...

Early !!!

Angela said fuck it we're making some 19th century ankle weights

Спасибо большое!

Tried to make one for my doll too

Fabulous

Really good to show the difference of winging it versus following patterns and "mock ups" (though I know you didn't exactly make one here). The end result was much more like what the picture looked like. :) Also wondering, do you know the name/brand of the nail polish you were wearing at the start of the video - the green one? Its very pretty and I kinda collect nail polish and green is my favourite colour so always looking for new options to add! :)

This was very interesting and informative. Maybe I can attempt making a smaller version of it this concept for a doll that my sister had gifted me some time ago. Her dress is in two parts. The upper part looks like a vest type. It has leg ‘O mutton sleeves from shoulders to elbows with regular sleeves attached from elbows to wrists. It has somewhat wide collar, “v” neckline and waist. The skirt has draping front and back is bustled. I almost forgot to mention that the back of the top has two areas that look like flaps that would float over the top of the bustle. It reminds me of a short version of a man’s “ tails “ part of a tuxedo. I have honk one of these items might “ spruce up “ her dress a bit in a way that it won’t appear to look so saggy and sad. Thank you.

I just bought your 2 newest McCall's patterns (the early 1900's shirt and skirt) and I was wondering if you have already done a video where you made these designs?

Oh, boning channels, how I missed you being said!!!

Do you have footage of the black and white Halloween dress? 😊

Angela: My hand sewn buttonholes are still ugly. Me: That's nothing. My machine sewn buttonholes are still ugly.

I’m thinking those weight pouches would be a good spot for secret money. Roll of quarters please.

Where did you found the spring steel? Is it easy to find it where you live?

Why not use thick quilting batting inside the bum roll and hand stitch the channels down through the batting? So much easier that way.

Does anyone here know where to get info on how to sew kimonos? I can't find anyone online that makes videos like this and I want to know how the collars are sewn. But I can't find any info besides "the body piece is folded into the collar and sewn", I can't find any detailed instructions

Can up that a picture with it on under a dress so we can see how it looks like with a dress?
