I'm so happy to hear that! ❤I do agree with you. I's very satisfying to see a whole ensemple take shape!

Regarding pleats I think they would chose practically. Given the cost in materials and time and knowing sooner or later the waist would need to be altered they would have chosen the pleats so that it could be done without unpicking the whole of the waist. Also the problem with historical surviving clothes is that the bodies they were for did not survive so it is hard to determine how much ease was originally sewed in. Also the nude depictions from the time showed a body shape decidedly different from modern assumptions. Therefore I think you need consider how in a non court setting would the kirtle have served a woman over a long period of time and possibly pregnancies. I think they would have planned ahead for alternations.

I am loving your work! My immigrant ancestor arrived in Virginia in the year 1621, which has left me with an abiding curiosity about how people of his time lived, including what they wore. New Virginians of the early 1600s, even if they were gentry in Europe, wore simple clothing suitable for wilderness. After a little time in Virginia they admitted that their clothing became even more primitive. Before crops of flax and cotton were well established and while their flocks of sheep were very small, Virginia-made fabrics were often substituted by animal skins. Lots of USA historians reproduce garments of the 1700s, because we have more written accounts and paintings of that time, while during the early 1600s life was so difficult that fewer people wrote and fewer artists were among the population, so much more of their lives can only reside in our imagination. I can imagine the saving piece of a Virginians skirt of the early 1600s might be made of deer hide. You have good looking chickens! I have ducks and sweet potatoes as our main crops. I think sweet potatoes would not grow in Scandinavia.

Wire cutters and needle nose pliers. Love watching yours videos.

For the future to save your fingers: you can use a second set of those flat pliers to bend the wire, doing multitudes of hooks & eyes can be very intense for the fingers (been there, done that! 😅) jewelry pliers with conical pincher parts are also a good option specifically for the loops

@bunhelsingslegacy3549

Yes, I was going to suggest jewelry pliers too, they're great for making round shapes without pinching or corners, and they come in different sizes too. And I'm going to go watch that tutorial too and see if any of the wire I have in this houses will work for hooks and eyes!!! Also I've been known to crochet little pliers cozies (handle covers) to save my hands when I'm doing repetitive tasks like making and assembling chain mail links.

Same, i used to do wire work a lot in the past, starting with replicas of antique greece and egyptian and later celtic jewellery, then i used my jewellery pliers for chainmail for my reenactment 10th century viking group (though we were more into living history), and of course tons of tons of hooks and eyes. With those conical nose pliers, a pair of flat nose pliers and a pair of long nose pliers, it saves you so much time, so much pain, so much of skin and fingernails.

I completely forgot that we were still waiting for this video. And it is so amazing. I love the cinematography and all of the thoughts you put into the sewing process. And the homemade hooks and eyes are just precious!

Lovely video. Entertaining and delightful to watch. If you plan on making your own hooks and eyes again i would highly recommend getting a pair of round nose pliers. They are commonly used in jewellery making as they are wonderful for making small, neat, round loops much more easily than the needle nose pliers you used. Either way they turned out beautifully.

It looks amazing. Love it when historical fashions are still easily wearable today. Plus that green is such a lovely soft shade.

I love your energy and excitement for these endeavors. The tools are called 'needle nose plyers' and 'wire cutters'.

I love your videos! You do such fabulous work. I am in awe of you not marking up the brass wire with the tips of the pliers! (They make ones with tiny tips, and round all the way around; somewhat like a very dull awl in shape.) If you ever want smaller ones, you might get a pair of them. However, you do so well with the ones you have, I doubt you would need them.

I love seeing your process! All the little details of how you made what decision it's so wonderful

I love the elegance of the simple and generic everyday dress.

This whole project was amazing, but I was most impressed by you making your own hooks and eyes.

It looks so comfortable. I could easily see wearing stuff like that daily. The tools are just needle nose pliers and wire cutters.

I have one complaint; your videography and composition is so lovely that I can't do anything but watch while listening. My chooky came inside to enquire about what I was so enthralled in too. 😂 Thanks for the inspirement! I just got a big parcel of material, and needed a shove to do something about it.

Your videos are always so much fun to watch. I enjoy watching you progress with each of your sewing projects and your enthusiasm never fails to brighten my day. Your dress has turned out wonderful and the 'saving piece' is a very nice touch. Now I'm looking forward to your next video, to see what sort of head covering you will make. Thank you for sharing your love of historical sewing. It won't be much longer and you're going reach 100,000 subscribers. 🙂Take care and best wishes.

Ooh yes! Sounds like a perfect plan!

Someone maybe already said this, I haven't read through all the comments 😝 It is common practice to knife pleat the front that would be hidden to save time. Then cartridge pleat the back for ~the look of it~ even for every day clothes. This is just an observation of mine and I don't know if this is the case everywhere. Usually you will see thinner cartridge pleats on festive clothes like in a swedish folkdräkt. Also, there are usually sevral rows of stitches on festive clothes. You'd have one row at the top and then 5mm down you'd have a second row that has the same distance between the stitches. Then repeat that for maybe 10-15cm for more expensive clothes ✨️✨️ Some food for thought from a museum worker and folkdräkt enthusiast 😁
