I had a moment like that... I'd made like, one, maybe two costumes in the past, and had an idea for a new one for a convention that was like nine months out... but the costume wouldn't really have much of a point if I didn't get the main prop for it done. So I spent AGES working on the prop, figuring it out, trying to fabricate everything myself and get it to work, and when I was FINALLY confident in it definitely working out and me managing to pull it off... I realized VERY suddenly that I had absolutely NOTHING started on the actual COSTUME... and I only had three weeks til the convention. I had to figure out how to sew stretch fabric, do full proper pleats on a two layer skirt (Something like 36 folds on EACH layer it was bonkers) and figure out horsehair, and lets just say I ended up packing my sewing machine to the con that year. xD It turned out great though!! Definitely needs some work to fix up a couple problems with it, but I'm really happy with how everything ended up in the end, even though I DEFINITELY had to make some SEVERE edits along the way due to my inexperience and lack of knowledge about proper measurements and pattern adjustments. (Pattern was definitely made for someone much bustier than myself, lol!!)

I love the corner of KZread where someone can say "he's laundering collars, which is really exciting!" and mean it. I really appreciate Bernadette's attitude (present here and in all her reaction videos) which is so good natured and makes it clear that, while she's commenting on inaccuracies, she's not throwing shade at the actors or productions.

The Grinch cutting out the fabric like that is totally a nod to the animated film in which the cartoon Grinch cartoonily cuts out his garment in the same magical way. And I think it's amazing that Claire's 18th century dress magically contains at least three times the raincoat fabric of her original raincoat. I remake a lot of clothes from thrift store garments, and your margins for extra fabric are TIGHT!

The Singer machine that Ms Winslett is sitting at, looks like my grandmother's machine, rather than my mother's, which was new in the early 50s. I would have thought that her character would have had the latest model. It really took me back when her rival appeared, toting a Necchi. I was so curious about them when I was in primary school.

The story of the Grinch (my favorite Christmas movie) gives a bit of context as to why he owns the sewing machine.

A note on the tension of the fabric in The Grinch: My grandma was a sewer and quilter, and she had something she called a quilting frame. Hers could tension a whole King size quilt! They make smaller ones that are quite affordable.

Just a note on the "stopping the treadle machine *before* putting her hand on the wheel" comment. I have a treadle machine that I've used for my sewing for decades. With a two-foot treadle technique, I can stop and restart my machine repeatedly without my hand ever touching the wheel. I just assumed she was doing the same thing. This is one reason I prefer the treadle machine, as it frees up both hands for fabric and thread manipulation.

a wee tiny bit of insight from a quilter who also loves Alias Grace: typically when you are piecing a block, you do not backstitch. all your seams are concealed within the batting & backing when finishing the quilt, and everything gets very well reinforced during the actual "quilting" part. so while yes, when i hand sew a quilt block, i do knot off my thread, teeeeeechnically you could get away with not doing so :)

Here’s a super odd one that is from 70s tv land: the mother, Olivia, in the series The Waltons. Set in the Depression, the home in that series had her “Sewing room” (machine, ironing board and dress form with WIP) located on the landing of the farmhouse ( pretty accurate when you lived with seven kids and your in-laws in a single farmhouse). Watching that actress (Michael Learned) bake, sew, and iron was always a distinct pleasure-even the way she sprinkled the clothes with her hands when ironing made it clear that she had done these things since childhood ( or closely observed people who did). I watch the early episodes all the time when I’m feeling nostalgic for those simpler dramas.

With Alias Grace, I thought it was interesting she was hand piecing without paper piecing. Which you can do, especially when working with rectangles, but you wind up with a scrappier quilt, without the nice, sharp corners and perfectly even, parallel rectangles you see on her finished log cabin blocks. With English paper piecing (which started in the late 1700's), you'd have the various pattern pieces needed to make your finished block cut out of cardstock. You'd then pick a piece of fabric big enough to cover the front of the cardstock and fold over the back to provide a seam allowance, and then baste stich the fabric to the card. The card holds the fabric in the desired shape and correct size, with sharp corners or even complicated curves, and removes the guessing about seam allowances. Then you'd simply use your preferred joining stich to hand sew the fabric shapes together, along the edges of the cards. After a piece is fully stitched into place on your quilt block, the basting is snipped, and the card removed and used again. It would be difficult for her to make some of the quilts she mentions, especially ones with lots of triangles, without paper pieces, or at least far more difficult to make them as nicely as the end results shown.

I do a lot of hand sewing and don't use one, either. I tried and just couldn't get used to pushing the needle with my middle finger. Maybe, because I don't usually sew sitting at a table, but rather with whatever I'm working on in my lap. I think, that makes the right technique for thimble sewing much harder. And honestly...with most garment weight fabrics, it takes a really long time, before your fingers get sore. And by that point, I'm usually ready to put my work down for the day, anyway. Thimbles might have been a necessity for professional seamstresses or tailors, who spent all day hand sewing...but for most hobbyists, they're optional, imo. And if I really do get a sore spot and want to keep going...I put a little leather circle right over it, fix it in place with a bandaid and boom - instant finger protection. So yeah...just do what works for you!

The title of your forthcoming book reminds me that during the age of sail, sailors of the Royal Navy were occasionally given an afternoon off as a "make and mend day". Sailors were not supplied with uniforms at that time so they would make their own trousers and shirts and, of course, mend them as needed. This, and your references to thimbles, also reminds me my father, a veteran of the RCN of WW2, who one day was delighted to find a sailmaker's palm in a surplus story on Cape Cod. Such a device, worn on the hand, allows the user to push large needles through thick fabrics such as sailcloth or leather.

If you haven't seen it yet, please look up The House of Eliott. It's a BBC series from the 1990's set in the 1920's. Two sisters are left penniless by their spendthrift father. They put their sewing skills (they made all their own clothes) and gift for fashion design to use, first by apprenticing with dressmakers and then starting their own parlor dressmaking business. In time they launch a fashion house with its own collections. The series starts in 1920 and finishes in 1928. There are many sewing scenes of course. Most of the machines are hand operated and not electric. Years ago I loaned the series to the person who handles the costume collection at the local historical society. In her opinion it was the most accurate portrayal of 1920's fashions that she had ever seen. By the way, many costumes used in the series showed up in later seasons of Downton Abbey as well as other period pieces. I would be interested to hear your opinion.

I always like the part of the superhero movies/TV shows where they're trying to figure out the costume, especially when the character doesn't start out knowing how to sew. Tobey Maguire wore a hoodie as Spiderman. Dean Cain's Superman went through several attempts with his mom making different costumes, and it still took a whole season to settle on how to attach the cape. And of course there's Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman making a costume out of a raincoat and claws out of seam rippers (though she actually knew how to hold a needle).
