I am extremely proud to say I HALF caught ONE thing. It seemed quite apparent to me that it should be cut on the bias, however I brain farted on how that was possible (probably the reason you weren’t initially considering the option) that it would need to be done in two pieces. And yes, I literally watched that video a week ago and found the technique novel and worth some mental thought at the time, so that’s a study in how much understanding we actually retain when we’re not doing a thing. I will most definitely not be attempting to make a coat, but thank you for helping me learn a bunch of reasons why this project, or the original costume pattern version with all its shortcomings, in my hands, would be a recipe for failure and unhappiness. Maybe I’ll go make myself a lined tote bag. ;)

When I saw the pad stiching (that done with green thread to stabilise the structure) I thought, we marvel at the accomplishments of engineers, how they were and are able to harness the immense complexity of forces, that a building or a vehicle has to withstand. A tailor has to face these same forces of gravity, torsion, tension, humidity and many others. But where engineers do this to a large extent on rigit materials like steel, concrete and glass, tailors have to do so on extreme flexible materials on top of that. It is a hidden marvel of human accomplishment! One might ask, what would above mentioned engineers and builders have accomplished if they hadn't been kept warm and comfortable by the magic of tailoring;-) This channel hadn't turned me into a *tailor, but it has opened my mind and my heart for this magic art:-) *It feel however confident that should the need or the desire arise, I knew where and how to start;-) With that I haven't even talked about the loveliness and kindness that radiates through this channel.

@@ragnkja sewing machines become exponentially less scary once you know what does what. I think modern sewing machines are quite confusing, but if you manage to find older ones, they're much easier to figure out What In The World Is Going On Here. I have two sewing machines and they are both pre-1950s. One is from 1946, and it's an electric machine. It has a slidey switch for the stitches per inch, which is labelled, (and it can go backwards, unlike the older one), and it has one or two tension knobs. It's very easy to use. The older one is from 1922 and is slightly more confusing, probably because its industrial. You change the stitch length with a sort of sliding clamp thing on the back of the presser foot, which is not labeled. Again, there is one tension knob, and it doesn't go backwards, BUT it's a walking foot which means I can sew in a circle. I can also loosten a screw on the front and literally turn the presser foot in any direction I want. It's very convenient. In conclusion, sewing machines seem very scary but if you get older and more simpler ones, they're much easier to use.

@@Sage-qd6tf It’s not easy to explain, but I think it’s related to my somewhat poor motor control, which is common for autistic people. When the machine is driving the fabric forwards rather fast, I find it difficult to control it. I can do completely straight seams as long as they don’t have to turn out 100% straight, but anything more complicated is beyond my ability. It also doesn’t help that the speed on the fairly new machine I have access to seems to be set digitally, and the pedal seems to be more of an “on/off switch”. My hand sewing may not be very pretty (that poor motor control again), but at least it’s one stitch at a time, so I’m unlikely to run too far off the intended stitch line.

I'm a man and I know nothing about making clothes, but as I sit alone in my room under quarantine, I found it immensely satisfying to watch you simply making something with care.

This presentation is one of my favorites. As a member of the rapidly dying off group know as "Depression Era Babies", I grew up scrimping, making do and doing without. The majority of clothing worn by my two sisters and I came from donations of second/third hand clothing we received from the local church. Watching you pick apart seams, study the amount of cloth vs what is needed took me back to hours of carefully picking apart piles of clothing and salvaging every inch of cloth, button, hook and eye, zipper, etc. This treasure trove became the raw stock used by my Mom to clothe us. To this day I find sitting in my studio, alone, with soft music playing, and meticulously clipping out stitches to be very calming. Thank you for that memory. Kudos on, yet another, job well done. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

Between the ages of 12 and 14, I was taught sewing and cooking by a classically trained home ec teacher. By the end of 9th grade, we all knew how to design and make a pleated skirt without a pattern, make biscuits and bechamel sauce, set in a sleeve and bag a jacket lining, and properly turn lapels and collars. We also made and embroidered table linens. We finished each year with a fashion show and fancy dinner. Although I hated the teacher’s insistence on perfection at the time, I’ve used my skills almost daily for the last 50 years with hundreds of lovely results. I appreciate the care you give each of your garments and love watching your talents develop. Your hand sewing is the same I learned long ago and still use on my fine sewing projects.

I asked my mother and grandmothers a million questions. I learned at least the basics (and often far more) of sewing, quilting, embroidery, knitting, jewelry repair, wreath and garland making, cooking, baking, clothing repair and tailoring, letter writing, first aid,...and I use almost all of these skills daily. Plus most of what I have learned has proven helpful in learning new skills in other mediums. I never anticipated that.

I know you didn't want it to take 4 months, but I love that you told us honestly that it did. I have so many "simple" projects that take up more time than expected, and there is always a voice (real or in my head) suggesting I cut some corners to complete them faster. Taking the time to do it properly when you have the luxury to do so can be so much more satisfying, and watching you fix this coat was both enjoyable and affirming.

The whole point of this video is that no matter how long your project takes, if you persevere you will be rewarded with pig content.

Thankfully the only sleeves I've had to deal with were stolen from a hoodie and being sewn onto a denim vest, but they took me a few hours.

So... I have been watching Bernadette's channel for 2 years-ish now, and MOST RECENTLY started actually sewing (boring mashine-sewing, due to lack of patience, but anyways) and people around me are in AWE as to why I succeed with the level of sewing I decided to start with (making an evening gown to wear to a wedding or making an 18th century inspired jacket or pleating and pleating and pleating and pleating skirts for example), and why on earth I know all this stuff about tailoring and horse canvas and pad stitching and somehow I find this hilarious, because - obviously - that's because Bernadette is explaining this stuff... LOL, right?

“Oh, I see, I just never finished this edge!” My sewing trials have never been so succinctly summed up.

a “pro tip” from a tailor apprentice - when constructing collars or cuffs on coats or blazers (generally working with thicker fabrics ) it is good to cut one seam allowance a few millimeters shorter than the other. This staggering will prevent the seam allowance from showing through harshly once you press your pieces.

It's never too late! Perhaps start off sewing simple things like small drawstring bags, which I personally find extremely useful anyways for corralling things like bracelets and erasers and such. You only need straight lines for that. You could also make simple loose clothing, just make sure your measurements are good!

I literally have no idea what she’s talking about half the time cause I have no experience with tailoring but it’s just...so...great 👁👄👁

The amount of effort and time she put on the coat shows how incredibly and spectacularly talented and detailed she is

22:49 Bernadette: Cool tailoring facts My zoned out fat ass at 6AM: What kind of noodles is she using?

Me and my sister: Discussing on how to make a coat similar to Bernadette's. Bernadette the next day: Uploads video on tailoring her jacket. Me: ........Thank you!

Bernadette: *roasts the whole coat* Me:...I can’t even make a skirt properly

I think the most important thing I’ve learned from this video (having now seen it multiple times) is that it’s okay to do a kind-of-meh job of early sewing projects. it’s okay to mess up and make mistakes, because you can come back later, when you know more and have improved your skills, and fix your mistakes and improve your old work. nothing is set in stone, and everything can be mended, so it’s okay to do an imperfect job. just do your best, and when your best gets better, you can come back and improve what you did before.

If you really want to sew, all you need is some fabric, a needle, thread, scissors and possibly some pins. Sewing machines are useful, and you might be able to find good quality ones at your local thrift store! Google helps with how to thread them and what knob does what, as long as your machine is new enough, and actually I've managed to find information on my older machine which is from 1922, and also a fairly uncommon machine, as is industrial, and made for leather and heavy cloth. So, in conclusion, if you'd like to learn to sew, go for it!

OH NO my secret is out for the world - you guys keep it to yourselves k, then there’s more for us.

The lining is my favorite part. I love it when very demure clothes have vibrant, beautiful surprises like that.

This is so inspiring because you said you “made this coat 4 years ago with virtually no sewing experience.” A few years later, you are REALLY good at your craft. Keep working, friends. You can get better.

One of the first real projects I embarked on was a wool winter coat, and by "one of the first" I mean "the second". The pattern is self-drafted, things meant to be cut on the straight grain are cut on the cross-grain, I have no idea what is going on with the sleeves, and dearest Lord, Lordess and any non-binary entities I want to take the entire thing apart and re-make it much like you did in this video, Bernadette. But, also much like you, I am still wearing the coat. It keeps me warm, which is its primary function. And that's not nothing.

My mother wanted a red coat circa 1947. After I found a pattern that could be easily tailored to this style, I then cut, lined, padded and found just the right embleshments for the coat putting it together at night after work so she'd have it for her winter coat. I made many trips to a friend's of my house as she had been a seamstress/tailor a better part of her life. Working together we made a fine red coat with collar and lapels that laid flat. My mom cried when she got the coat. With it was a scarf, gloves and crocheted hat. She wore it until it was stolen at a restaurant where we ate. I've always wondered if the theif enjoyed the coat as much as my mom relished it when she wore it. She's dead now and I do a little sewing and quilting but no tailoring. It brings back too many memories of a dark haired lady with her red coat, neck scarf and hat ( I also made the hat ).

Favorite quote from this video “you may be wondering what the heck I’m doing. So am I.”

It’s so amazing to see a sewing project not completely fueled by rage, I just figured that’s how you sew

Bernadette, you are such a sweet pure witch. I love watching you because just a complete opposite of my own gothic grunge disaster and it gives me hope I’ll one day make something like yours but I also love seeing my own lopsided stitches and hems.

ohh the coat and the pointy-witchy-hat at the end made you look like a young Minerva McGonagall

"where the velvet has a place to................thrive?", and "I gUeSs I trust the 19th Century...". I honestly almost spit out my sandwich :) Amazing work. I love learning all of these technical details

"I guess I trust the nineteenth century." *laughs nervously as I look at a map of the British Empire*

Time to sell my last kidney, find an old timey tailor and get one of these coats made... Oh wait, quarantine.

I love that you don’t hide your process from us. Nothing is ever linear with a project like this and I enjoy hearing your thoughts as changes are made.

Your grandma is a smart woman!

I've lately discovered audiobooks! I feel so productive 🤣 I listened Jane Eyre while I was sewing, I've read it 2-3 times so I could give more attention to the sewing. But! ...you'll be so proud...I've so far listened to 40 out of 70 hours of the Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection read by Stephen Fry whilst crocheting 280 ish squares of my 300 square blanket. On a deck chair (on our few good summer days in N. Ireland) on the bank overlooking the sea sat a 24 year old crocheting away (like a 100 year old granny) listening to Sherlock Holmes (no earphones....you have to listen to the waves too!) while the neighbours gave me funny looks as they took their daily constitutionals 🤣🤣 heavenly!

That lining actually looks lovely in your last shot of you spinning! It add kind of a faux layer in the outfit, which, in my opinion, looks super sharp and a nice detail! Though I know ideally you want the lining and the actual garment to be one piece, I think in this case, having ht e free flowing lining is a nice little snazzy touch since the silk moves so nicely!

As usual, I have learnt way too much information, to the point where my brain is like: I need good wool, and I need it now! I was going to buy a similar commercial pattern to make my coat, but then I remembered Keystone is a thing, and it's free so...... *looks up website, to check* and now I've decided that I must splurge once more on some Norwegian wool, make the coat of my dreams, (mostly so I don't unnecessarily freeze in the winter, which to be honest, is most of the year where I live), and mess up fantastically somewhere along the line. Thank you Bertie - also your coat now looks amazing!!! It's sort of nice/a relief to see someone else taking something apart and resewing it. I've done that too many times with earlier projects that I've lost count.

The thrill I have, when watching this a year after it posted, and realizing I have the very same Dover book on Victorian Tailoring, was probably unwarranted. But I still feel a sense of belonging with the people who are better at sewing than I, while I still work on the basics.

I hope we are all agreed that McVitie's Caramel Digestives are the food of productivity because honestly?? Divine. *looks at mountain of exam revision, stuffs two more biscuits into face for courage*

I love that your pattern piece is called “Almighty Pocket” in fancy scroll.

Watching your hands sewing brought tears to my eyes.

the fact that bernadette rocks this victorian style in public is mindblowing. i could never. sob.

It's nice to go back to your old projects but it can be pretty cringey to see all the mistake you made. But it does show how much you've learned. It's great that you decided to remake that lovely coat! That cute Sherlock Holmes cup! The final result is beautiful and so dashing! And Cesario ender! Take care of yourself, Bernadette!
