My heart fluttered when you pulled the gathering threads tight the first time. 😍

Incredible to think all clothing was handstitched before the advent of sewing machines. And luckily there are some who will show others how it was done and with such beautiful results! This was such a very interesting and informative video - thank you for taking the time to share your time and talents with us.

I love how you talk about replacing the binding at the hem and being able to adjust sizes if need be. I know that's how the cared for their garments "back in the day", but it is refreshing in the ocean of fast fashion that some people treat their garments with care. It's inspiring me to be more considerate of this as I slowly start to make my own clothes. And thank you for a good tutorial!

It was so happy to see Portugal Folk dress in an english-speaking video. I have been thinking of diving into that aspect of my culture as a renovate my lacking wardrobe, to connect with it better, and thus I have felt even more invigorated to do so, as I watched the video ^^ I simply adore your videos, they are concise, packed with practical knowledge and instructions. It was, as always is, a pleasant experience.

I know that this is meant to mimic a Portuguese rural woman's garment, but it looks very classy to me. Cartridge pleats are used today in judges'' black robes where the sleeves attach to the body of the robe.

thank you for exploring portuguese historical dress, i clicked on this video because yey skirts but was pleasently surprised to see you reference these specifically. i'm from portugal but not from a rural area so i only ever saw folk dress on tv during religious parades 😅 i've been meaning to make a skirt inspired by these but i don't want to feel like im in a religious parade everytime i wear it...

I’ve been saving this video in my watch later playlist for that special moment and well, today’s the day and it did not disappoint! You are such a diligent worker and this is just beautiful 🥲 Loved all the detailed information about the stitching and the cultural exploration. I don’t sew much but I love learning and watching historical and hand sewing, crossing my fingers I’ll find the motivation to do it myself someday. Anyway, so neat!

That's wonderful 😊

When machine stitching a hem facing, there are ways to prevent a horizontal line of stiches. Use a blind hem stitch. It looks like a weird zig-zag with some going wider. To use this you sew most on just the folded facing, but the tips of the wider zigzags go into the skirt fabric. The result is hardly noticable little pricks of thread on the outside. If the threadcolour matches, its really hard to see. I would recommend practicing first, but its fast once you get the hang of it

How beautiful that was. I really enjoyed watching it, and it took me back to when I was little and we wore dresses, hand smocked by our mother. The smocking adds something really special. Please could I make a request? Please don’t add music to videos when you’re teaching because if anyone like me has a cognitive disability, it’s very painful. People will comment and tell me to mute, but of course I then live my whole life in silence! I enjoyed your teaching and I didn’t want to miss it. If people really like music, they can add music of their choice, but I can’t subtract it. Hope it’s OK to ask - I don’t find many videos where there’s no added music, but the ones I do, are peaceful and contemplative, which is a lovely thing in this noisy frantic world! Bless you ❤

Love those skirts. Will have to do some testers on fabrics to see how much I'll need and how small to make the pleats. It seems like you did about a 4.8 multiplier of waist size to fabric. With a larger waist, I'll need more fabric to get those beautiful pleats.

@Pour_La_Victoire

4 ай бұрын

If you're working with a thicker fabric like wool, you can get by with fewer pleats due to the thickness of the material. That ratio sounds right - I think adding an extra half panel or panel of fabric is a great idea.
