This is absolutely beautiful, I love it. I too usually want my clothes in a slightly darker shade of goth, so I'll try to recreate this at some point! Would you ever consider making the outfit (or at least the shirt) of the Dread Pirate Roberts from Princess Bride? Probably not entirely historically accurate, but a nice shirt with some different details and it's black!

When she talked about forgetting about the button overlap and having to piece it on, I instantly felt so much better about the fact that I was at that moment, in point of fact, unpicking yards of seam binding because I didn't think ahead properly and ended up doing it back-arseward and ending up with an ugly join front and center of a robe lapel roll instead of a smooth continuum, and now have to do it over again if I don't want Future Me to get unreasonably ragey every time I see it from now until the whole thing is worn-out rags and compost. *le sigh* But hey...if Madame Time-Traveling Goth Goblin Herself still makes those kinds of mistakes, then that must mean I'm NOT a total idiot and this is something that happens to all of us.

I definitely want to try and incorporate that into my next shirt project. I know all-black for some time wasn't as commonly used because making the color required a two-stage dye process (and was thus more expensive), but now I wonder how much of the lack of all-black garments was also because the sewists thought about doing all that work by candlelight and went "Absolutely Not". 😂

I'm guessing working with black fabric would be something people would have saved for daylight hours whenever possible. I know even today with ultra bright LED work lamps many crocheters and knitters avoid black yarn as its more difficult to see your stitches. Using black fabric for counted embroideries (cross stitch etc where you have to work into the holes on an open weave fabric) is also harder than lighter fabrics.

Here in Sweden, peasant women would typically only have one dress for formal occasions, and since black was an expensive colour to dye/maintain, they’d get a black dress and then wear it to both weddings and funerals. So it’s not until the end of the 1800’s that our peasant women started wearing white wedding dresses, too.

Bernadette, just to let you know. You may make a lot of garments that have black but I have never noticed it myself. And if other people that watch your channel don't like the fact that you make things with a lot of black. Don't listen to them. Seriously, you keep creating what makes you happy and that speaks to your soul. Because when you're happy it shines through and I see it on your face and your expression. You're just glowing. And to me that's what makes good content. It's not just your awesome sewing skills. And I don't watch your channel to see what color your clothes are. I watch your channel because I can see that inside. You are a beautiful person and it's totally shiny through no matter what garment you're making because I can tell you love what you're doing. You're obviously very passionate about it and it shows. So please never let anyone stay in a comment that they don't like this or they don't like that and then you stop doing it because of what someone else says.

Well timed, thank you

As someone who will wear any styles from 1880-1940, I always love these types of videos, as they offer me new outfits and styles to explore.

your “but i like it in black!” is such a mood. i knit and it’s so hard to see all the pretty stitchwork in black 😭

Do i have any idea what she’s talking about sewing wise? Nope, might as well be a foreign language. Do I love watching her hand stitch this shirt? Yes, yes I doooooo! ❤️

I watched this right after doing yoga and having a cup of tea. My mood is quite mellow. And then the outtakes made me giggle madly.

the patience you have for handsewing is so admirable

I love watching your videos, because I can watch you make a Regency era men's shirt, (which I've made the pirate version of, in green, for a cosplay) while I sit and sew the lacing part from old converse onto my jeans to prevent further rips. The idea that fashion and sewing can be used for such a wide variety of beautiful things, its mesme3rising to me.

I'm completely fine and feel thoroughly entertained with you indulging your black (cloth) desires in your videos, as I'm a black clothing enthusiast myself 🖤

The dropped shoulder gives it such a unique look, so different from the puffy-sleeved shirts of later years. And what magic to see a garment made in exact historical practice but with a gothic vampiric twist

Black is so beautiful and classic. I'm just waiting for people to make these garments in more modern patterns. How fun would a walking skirt be in bumble bee and honeycomb patterns, or unicorns.

I love the black. Don’t let anyone change you. It speaks to my gothic soul.

i just want to drop in, thank you for the video, and say how floored i am by all the progress you've made over the years. not only in your craftsmanship, but your confidence! no longer do i feel like you (and us, sewing alongside you) are at the complete mercy of your projects. you've. now... you're only mostly at their mercy /j in all seriousness, excellent work and again, thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork edit: oh! and as a disabled artist whose disabilities unfortunately prevent me from pursuing most of my art, your videos always mean so much to me. i used to make little "pirate shirts" for my beanie babies when i was in the single digits, but the only stitches i knew were running stitches and... well, sutures (medical household and i was a sick but curious kid, i made my hand surgeon teach me how to suture when i was seven... on my own hand oTL) so you can imagine how that came out. i loved your videos on corsetry with scoliosis especially. thanks again! :)

Fascinating to watch your hand-stitching: I have made many garments by hand, and it interests me to see that you take your stitches largely away from yourself. When I am hand-stitching, I nearly always stitch from right to left, taking stitches more or less parallel to the edge of the work table at which I'm seated. No right or wrong way, just different, and like I said, fascinating. Would that all the stitchers I have worked with produced work as neatly efficient as yours!

I've used a lightbox for cutting black linen on the drawn thread. Works well!

I suspect it the reason black was not more common in the period was the hassle it is to achieve with natural dyes.

I made one of these out of one of my mum’s bed sheets in the 80s, I wanted to look like Adam Ant 😂 I also sewed on an ancient treadle pedal Singer, that was my mum’s machine that she got at a boot sale for £2 (1970s) and she doesn’t have it now.

Love the shirt, inspiration fodder! Will also add that I appreciate your use of music in the background and ... the volume is perfect and doesn't interfere with your commentary. ❤

I use a light box when marking and cutting things like this. Make a diy light box by using an old window or but a small remnant piece of plexiglass. Place on cups pr small bowls, slide an under counter light strip under. This is easily stored in parts. A glass coffee table works well.

NEVER. Too. Much. Black. This just fills my goth heart with joy. Thank you for showing us how to make this shirt. In black.

As soon as I saw the burrito, i asked myself how you'd managed not to fall off the bed. Clearly that was the clever editing on Danny's part 😂😂 (I also love your duvet cover, very pretty!) I made a similar shirt for my college course, though not at all historically. But I'd never heard of the shoulder reinforcements, so that was very interesting to learn!

Spooky Children of the Night for ever! Love the shirt. Love the reminders about gussets. Love that these clothes are made of square and rectangles because that makes them so much easier. Take care!

Good quality linen is indestructable and barely wrinkles. I made a jacket type shirt unlined with french seams everywhere. Black. I worn and washed it so much, I re-dyed it 4 TIMES to refresh the black color. I can't fit in it today but kept it as 'souvenir' of slimmer times. The linen is still very fine. I could give it away in my testament.

I enjoy watching these simpler projects because what I get stuck on in my own projects are the weird little details like the direction of felling when it comes to 3-way intersections with a loop, like arm gussets. And you get into the nitty gritty of it in an entertaining way, so it's really helpful and captivating!

Never bored with you… never, ever! I want this pattern so badly. Can’t wait to try it. In a lighter color of course. Thank you for sharing this beautiful garment with us again. ❤

Excellent as always, thank you Danny for keeping the shenanigans in, thank you Heathcliff for making buttons I'm sure they'll soon come in handy, and thanks Bernadette for the pirate but make it goth which we needed in our lives.

I've had something like this in mind for a while. I enjoy my own twist on period garments. When people grumble that I don't wear colors, I remind them that BLACK is a color.

I am SO excited for the patterns!

I thought I was finished with making historical garments (for now) so I could finally finish my bachelor thesis... Alas, inspiration has struck again! Though this time I'll not give into my ADHD urges, and finish one thing first. Thanks Bernadette, for all your amazing and inspiring video's!! Much love from The Netherlands!

I love this video so much! I would suggest as an addendum video a discussion of how to alter this shirt for different periods. Also, for us utter tyros, a sort of pregame analysis of the pattern discussing the order of attack, i.e., highlight in red on the pattern that the right edge of piece C will be sewn to the top edge of piece A, etc.

I've missed these sewing videos so much. Thank you, Bernadette!

Gorgeous shirt! Those buttons are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing your crazy shenanigans with us!

I absolutely love everything about this shirt (including the color)! I am on my way to grab this pattern and you'd better believe that I'm going to add those neck ruffles 😍 As always, thank you for enriching my life and my sewing journey with your historical antics! 💜

Bernadette, you are a wonder. It never ceases to amaze me the lengths you will go to for authenticity. Your productions are a constant joy.

A lovely thing - watching with CC on, and when Bernadette snips a thread, the captions say 'quiet snip' which is just charming

Dear Bernadette, You have made my morning tea and toast a heavenly experience.. I love all your videos.. I love hand sewing clothes.. for me it is a meditative experience.. Bless you..

Loved this! I had started a black version of the 18th century shirt back in 2021 and still have not finished. Seeing yours turn out so well certainly gave me the motivation to finish mine lol

Contemplating my current stash of black linen 🤔🤩 Loved this. Thank you for enduring the tedious and difficult to film black linen. It turned out beautiful.

am i the only one that gets some cookies, a cup of tea and takes out your sewing while watching her videos? i find this oddly calming and therapeutic

Your sewing vids are the best Bernadette!

I love all the black clothes you make! It's the color I usually wear and buy the most and I tend to finish black projects more often than their colorful counterparts. Watching you and seeing what issues I may run into when making something so dark helps me mentally prepare for it and also gives me an idea of what to keep in mind for similar projects in the future. As long as you love what you are doing I love watching you do it! 💜

Absolutely love it! I too often think about wearing colors besides black, gray, and white, but they were all I reached for when I had colorful options anyway. Live your dark, true self 😆

I love this! The buttons are everything 😊

That ad was my second fav of all times. Detective Bernadette rolling on the floor remains untopped but Burrito Bernadette earned so many points.

This was another wonderful video! 😍 also please don't stop making black clothings, it inspires me to continue making them, too 😂❤

I love everything you do. Thanks for doing anything.

Love the choice of fabric design.

Excellent timing; I’m currently re-reading Pride and Prejudice xD Happy to know the regency specific details compared to your 18th c one, as it’s regency fashion that my interest lies in most, and I still have my linen to make a shirt from, so I can make it to these specs now!
