"the Victorians didn't care. Why should you?" my new motto for sewing 😁

Me when I buy lace: you are going to be so useful and make my projects so pretty Me owning lace: you are too beautiful to use so I'm just going to hoard you and stare at you and touch you because you are too precious for one project 😂😂😂😂

@@agimagi2158 oh man this was so me years ago. I was the same with makeup, and wool and fabric too. I'd see a pretty colour and be need it badly! I don't wear all the pretty colours though! So I now buy plants with the colours I adore because I figured that's the best option! I love all plants and get so much more joy than my wool/fabric/makeup stash. And they actually get seen by the world and not away stored safely in tubs!

I have tons of lace like that when I bought it to make dresses for my granddaughters. But me daughter said it was “too fussy”. Now I have a great granddaughter and a great grandson. Have I used any? But if we aren’t careful we will end up like my aunt. My Dad told me that when she died and the kids cleaned out her home she had a box that was labelled “things to nice to use” . When they opened it, it was full of sheets and pillow cases with embroidery and hand tatted lace. Table linens and doilies all probably made by her Mom 50 years before. Use things that are too nice to use. That’s what they are for.

"Don't sew when you're not feeling well. You'll make mistakes." Facts!!

You were suggested to me by “The Algorithm”, and I could NOT be more thrilled. Your videos are a feast for the eyes and soul.🪡🖤🪡

Absolutely in love with this! And the boots! “And daddy..they took my boot!” I giggled as you said that her boots were iconic and you put that gif up and in my head that just played in my head. I feel the need to watch that movie tonight 🙏❤️🌻

Nice! Last time I was this early, Tarzan's parents were still on the boat. Pins through the carpet is life! Don't worry about the bent ones. You'll work out how to not do that with practice. My only question is: can you run away from cheeky monkeys?

Pins in a very shaggy carpet is how both my brother and I ended up with pieces of those pins getting lodged in our knees. But there is no sewing without accidentally pricking yourself. The outfit is lovely, it suits you so well.

It’s how I ended up in the hospital while the surgeon played find the broken sewing needle!! It was a long time ago so they put me out to do it. Lots of X-rays as they were marking where it entered (paper clip straightened and taped to foot) to where it ended up!!

I love it! Could you do a getting dressed as Jane from Tarzan?

Oh yes I could, great idea! :)

There really is nothing as satisfying as freshly set pleats...

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! :She's NOT a Victorian." "how can you tell?" "Her button holes aren't on the edge of her blouse."

That silk is gorgeous! Imagine if they'd used something like that for Bell's live action dress! So it was more golden yellow than just plain yellow

This is delightful. I love the finished product. I have been long fascinated by Jane. As a character, she interests me because she is written by a man to be an 'ideal' in a fantasy primarily envisioned for men. That so many women have loved the character is interesting. Of course, Disney does not actually match the original literature, but they came quite close in many aspects. Lovely to go there again.

Absolutely gorgeous. Please may I suggest making the final reveal longer. Its too quick for such delicious eye candy!

I love the lace you chose for this project! The white pointy shapes, the brown pleating and the gold...wow! Great job!

One second in....yuppppp i love this girl. Youre amazingly talented, well spoken, hilarious, and smart, and so lovely. I wanna be you in my sewing glow up lol

Such a lovely outfit. The silk is like liquid gold! Well done. Looks stunning on you.

What's this pinning your pattern to the carpet? What sort of sorcery is this? Why did I never think of this? Also lace stash, omgosh 😱 life goals! Lol it turned out really cute. You look like you are ready to be off exploring the jungles of Africa to study gorillas, while looking absolutely ridiculous at the same time. I love it! I love everything about this and how it came out. Now I want to be Jane and look ridiculously out of place stomping through the jungle in a bustle. ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful job! I love your use of twill tape. It’s a great way to control the large volume of fabric. I’ve put bustles in many wedding dresses and sometimes it’s the only way to manage and control lots of fabric so it hangs beautifully. I stand by something I learned more than 30 years ago. Dupioni is one of my favourite fabrics to sew!

Ahhh, I love it! The colours are gorgeous, the fit superb, the boots so cute! Ugh, I want a bustle dress right now! I've only made one so far but it was for my six-year-old daughter so it's all teeny and cute and not my size, haha. Well done, great finished gown!

you are so beautiful in this dress. This dress is supper amazing and you did a fabulous job Cat.

This is so well edited Cat 🥺😍 I really appreciate the playing with the background music and the cuts, it's really subtle and fits perfectly, and the way you thought about your transitions while already filming is very cool :) I really noticed how much work went into editing and planning this video and I really appreciate it :) Love from Germany 💕🤗

This is such a great thing to point out, I tend to get so lost in the beauty of the video and the ease with which it flow of, so I forget the fact that it was all planned out and organized and shot and edited and everything else that went into it. The technical side is no small feat,

I too spend more time deciding than actually sewing.

What an absolutely lovely interpretation of Jane! You are so talented and so many of the deviated decisions you made just improved the look overall, in my opinion. Be proud of yourself, Cat!

Terrific costume - and thanks for sharing the parts where things go wrong!

That is exactly the dress that I want for my vintage Jane (mattel doll)

I just love your videos so much. You’ve been my favorite costuber to have on while I mindlessly press a million pintucks 😅 The way you “think out loud” reminds me so much of how I work. I appreciate the way you aren’t afraid to make mistakes. And when the mistakes inevitably happen, you just laugh and start again. That’s the best attitude to have! Your voice is delightful. Do I detect a Portuguese accent? 😯 Thank you for the top notch content!! Lots of love from California ❤

The lace is lovely, and I adore that it's the same lace that you used for your first Jane dress. The whole outfit came out beautifully! I too have to take time to think about decisions that I think are important.

It came out so pretty Cat!! I absolutely love it. And the little detail of the lace trim along the bottom is so precious.

Oh my GOSH CAT this is stunning! The silk, silhouette and the cute little hat!

I know, tragic 😭 but! I'm fairly certain I can make an 18th century style pocket and hide it underneath the overskirt discreetly 👀

Walk skirts and dresses were shorter then regular dresses often showing the ankle or just below that!

The result is absolutely beautiful and satisfying. The ruffled hem! The layers! The bodice!

wow just wow!!!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for showing how the bustle scrunches up the fabric with the twill tape. I've been trying to figure that out for a few years.

I just wamt to say I love your Stitch phone case!

Guess what I just saw. Linen and silk dupioni blend at Mood Fabrics. It had the lustre of silk but I’d be curious to feel it.. it’s 65% linen and 35% silk. And there are beautiful rich colours. I think it was $23 a yard if I’m not mistaken .

Very evocative of the movie Jane!

Now that is one smart looking Jane. :}

Super cute, I'm not sure how you have time to make such beautiful ensembles with all the work involved in a uni degree, but I'm so glad you do, 💖

Congratulations! That is so cute! Thank you for sharing.

Whoa I knew it will be lovely, but it turned out to be epic. I love it so much! You look stunning in this outfit Cat.

Very pretty 😀

Gorgeous! And that silk really does look like liquid gold!

LOVE! It suits you so well, amazing work!

It turned out beautifully! I love it in the Dupioni :D

I love the finished outfit, that gold fabric is just gorgeous!

This turned out super beautiful! The 2 am hat was a genius idea too, it added a really nice touch to the entire outfit!

Yay! This turned out so good! Also cool to see I'm not the only person who uses the carpet to help with pinning 😁

It came out so well!! Amazing! I love how you shortened the skirt length so that you can see the shoes.

This turned out so beautifully. 😍

The dress is really stunning!! You look so lovely walking around

Super excited for this!

Loved the costume and the video, I had just been thinking of you and wondered if at long last you were able to see some of Glasgow and visit the free museums Or was finishing your course work precluding that.

I absolutely love the sound of your machine! By the way, in setting the pleats, is it equal parts water and vinegar in your spray bottle? If not what ratio do you use?

@CatsCostumery

3 жыл бұрын

I used 2 water to 1 white wine vinegar, mostly because I don't mind the vinegar smell in the air haha! The smell doesn't stay in the pleats, it pretty much disappears after ironing :)

Absolutely wonderful

Nice!😀 really love it.

It's so gorgeous!

Just stunning

Looks so good! And it suits you so well!

It turned out beautiful

Gorgeous!!! Can I ask where you filmed the reveal? (I live up the road from Glasgow, in Linlithgow). Oh yes, and I just bought lace edging!! (I've got some of the deadstock floaty semi-sheer peacock fabric that is on a lot of the sites at the moment, and will make a petticoat to go under it, so of course I needed some lace to edge petticoat).

Well done! Adorable take on one of my favorite Disney characters!

It's beautiful. That silk really does look like liquid gold. And your middle of the night hat creation is so cute. Just one question, where were you with your ruffle cutting trick when I was cutting out the ruffles and flounces for two petticoats last month!🤦‍♀️ Must remember it for next time.

The slub hides your wrinkles. It just looks textured.

You sounded ashamed of gaining weight, but really that just means you have more room for ruffles and lace!

its beautiful if you look on Jennings644 she has videos on how to make hat pins they are very easy all you need is a very long pin which she does sell just email her and ask about them she has her email and her zibbet store in the description box ... i love your costume .
