I too am nonbinary and Heathcliff shows very well the measuring and construction of this shirt. I am now inspired to try my own hand at making a shirt for myself. Thank you.

The entire concept of a button tab attaching shirt front to the trousers, thus ensuring a stable tuck, is sheer genius.

Seeing Bernadette talk about fitting garments on herself with scoliosis and Heathcliff talk about fitting for themselves gives me a lot of hope about making garments for myself. I use a wheelchair and have a body type that isn’t catered to by modern fashion so finding flattering clothes is a struggle. Thanks friends!

This is literally my first comment ever on KZread, but there was no way I wasn't commenting on this video. As a masc-leaning nonbinary person who loves all things fiber, it's so incredibly refreshing to see some content that's not high femme. Bonus - Heathcliff is a treasure and a delight! Fingers crossed we'll see more of them in future episodes.

I absolutely love Heathcliff’s vibe and would die to see more of them. I followed them on Instagram as soon as I saw your post promoting this video. (Side note: I love how positive and accepting this comment section is.

I'm a cis het woman and I also appreciate seeing how non-binary people interact with gendered fashion. I grew up in super conservative American churches in the 80s and 90a, and I think the way the American church so forcefully superimposed super narrow ideas of acceptable fashion choices onto super narrow acceptable gender expression really did a number on the collective psyche of the American public. I remember hating having my clothing choices restricted because of my gender as a child, and started hating dresses and skirts because of those who would restrict me to them. Once I was on my own for a few years, I started loving them because of how comfortable they are and how superior they are to shorts, as long as you don't intend to hang upside down from tree branches or swing sets, which I was now much less prone to do... I remember the feeling of being restricted because of my gender making me not want to be that gender, when the things that appealed to me didn't line up with the prescribed clothing or activities for me. I think we probably have that in common. Ultimately, in my case, it wasn't my gender I had a problem with. It was the restrictions and expectations that came with my assigned gender, but I have a feeling that everyone at some point in their lives feels somewhat restricted by the weirdly binary nature of fashion, and maybe it's comforting on some level to non-binary persons to know that it's not just you who find it a struggle. All this to say, I think the interplay of fashion and gender expression is fascinating, and my hope is that as content like this educates the general public on fashion history and, by extension, gender expression history, conservatives will eventually recognize that the standards of the 1950's aren't from the Bible and don't actually determine right and wrong...🙃 I love this channel and what I've learned from it. I love seeing how empowering it is to make your own clothes, literally and figuratively tailoring them to what *suits* you, rather than what everyone else likes. I have a theory that we all look the best in the things we feel most ourselves in, and that a big part of choosing what we wear is learning to love who we are, and being brave enough to share that with the world whether we think they will like us or not. I said a lot of words, but I'm trying to say that Bernadette's videos, along with other costubers' are a really valuable contribution to society on many levels. The knowledge I've gained here has significantly enriched my life and I'm wholeheartedly grateful.

In historical fashion women used padding methods to reach the aspired silhouette without having the body type for it. You can do the same, don't be shy about it. It's just the modern way of thinking that our bodies have to look a certain way in order to be able to wear specific clothing. Historically it has always been the clothing that has been catered to the body type to make it work. Best of luck in your sewing endeavors! @@crowsong8097

Please continue onto a entire outfit! Watching Heathcliff's confidence increase made this even more enjoyable.

Heathcliff's narration was very soothing, I would love to see them do more projects :)

Heathcliff's shirt is beautiful, it really turned out well. You two are so cute when you're nerding out over sewing, it's such a wholesome dynamic and I'm here for it. ☺

Ok so when the actors strike is over I need y'all to make a mini Victorian era mob movie because I need more diabolical finger tapping & blank menacing stares from both of you. 🥰🥰

Heathcliff looks so dashing in that shirt! They did such an amazing job with it. Love it so much!

Heathcliffs voice is so comforting, like a historical BBC presenter

Oh there just isn't a big enough "like" button for the absolute bliss of this! Wonderful project, and Heathcliffe's voice is so soothing! I'd love to see more projects along similar lines; especially how to adapt menswear for different genders and body shapes. I love that Heathcliffe shared the saliva trick, too! Having worked for a kiltmaker some years back (where bleeding on white lining fabric seemed an intrinsic part of daily life), I learned it's particularly efficient if you wet a ball of pure cotton thread with saliva to act as a blotter.

Heathcliff's voice delivering the narration is just a wonderfully velvet-like touch of charm and equally as relaxing to hear as the beautifully lit sewing montages are to watch 😌

heathcliff is such a natural fit for this channel's vibes, I'm loving seeing them in more and more videos!

I totally thought that the "the danger:" afterword would be a spoiler of Heathcliff working on some wool trousers or waistcoat or suit type thing to wear with the shirt and make a whole outfit - I'm still hoping we'll get to see that!!

Heathcliff has such a warming, homey voice like bernadette! Love this heathcliff flavor of videos ❤❤

I was hesitant at first when I saw Bernadette was not leading the charge on this commentary. I could not have been more wrong - I loved what Heathcliff brought to the table. Their voice was calming and relaxing. I could easily see myself listening on repeat when I need some down time. Fantastic job everyone!

This was delightful. I'm glad Heathcliff was willing to share their process with us. I hope we will get to see the rest of the ensemble and perhaps a photo shoot with both of you in the future! ❤

Heathcliff's voice is so perfect, and they look so good in this garment!

Please tell Heathcliff that their voice is just...so soothing. That mixed with the music you chose is just...chefs kiss.

Wow, that was an education. I’ve been sewing for over 65 years, but nothing historical. Heathcliff, you are amazing. Bernadette, you are too. Best to you both from NC USA

Heathcliff is an amazing vibe, would love to see more of what they do. And seeing the dynamic of Bernadette working together with them is positively charming and wonderful. What a great evolution!

Heathcliff has such a nice relaxing voice. For sure would be happy to see more of them!

They cut such a dashing figure!!! 🤩 I would LOVE to see Heathcliff create the rest of the ensemble, particularly since we rarely see formal menswear on historical costuming channels. Thank you both for filming the process

Heathcliff needs their own channel solely dedicated to recreating historical clothing or this needs to be a series!

Oh, Healthcliff. What a pleasure to get to know you a little better! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you into the land of the itty bitty tiniest stitches. More sewing videos! Yay! 💜💜💜 EDIT: Oh! We got a glimpse of you in blue. T'is your color! 💙

Agreed, we definitely need more Heathcliffe! :)

Watching heathcliff use the treadle for the first time was adorable. I remember getting mine and self teaching myself to use it. Now 3 years later I have made nearly 30 garments including skirts, shirtwaist, corsets, etc. I exclusively wear 1900's clothing daily.

Having caught more and more glimpses of Heathcliff in recent videos, I'm really glad to see that they've made it to a full video starring their wonderful crafts and magnificent sideburns. I know you've been here for a while, but welcome to the forefront, Heathcliff! It's lovely to have you.

Not everyone transitions well to being on camera, but this was a joy to watch. Heathcliff seemed to grow in comfort over the course of the video and it would be a joy to see more ❤

Bringing those around you, up and forward with you, is a sign of great leadership. You go, Bernadette! This was a fabulous watch.

Heathcliff... I am so jealous of your hair! It's so wonderfully fluffy and curly! 😊

MOAR Heathcliff features please, they are a delight!

Re: the blood drop--My grandmother, who taught me how to sew (on her gorgeous 1927 Pfaff treadle machine), said that a piece worth your time was always "baptized" with a drop of the maker's blood--later washed out of course, but that one was forever linked to the piece. It was enjoyable watching this video with the differences, the learning curve bits, and all! Wonderful work!

Just wanted to say, Heathcliff is an excellent narrator

I just love their speaking voice and command of language! 👍

The minute Heathcliff starts doing any of the voiceover bits, the video becomes a Peaceful Documentary and I'm here for it. XD
