Bernadette, is there something you're not telling us???? I just watched the pregnancy video recently, which I was really hoping you would do as I am expecting in August and was curious how pregnancy fashion has worked throughout history. But then I saw a snippet of what appeared to be a "bump" in this video whilst cutting and stitching the pieces together. Hmmmm 😊

I figured the Victorian ankle fetish thing was invented by Hollywood, or started by people who assumed that, since ladies often wore floor-length dresses, it must have been a big deal for their ankles and calves to show.

Very interesting episode. Some anecdotal information from my grandmother who told this to me personally. She was born in 1890, married in 1912. She had 7 living children between 1913 and 1933. Her story may be a cause and effect completely non-related and the outcome may have been the same whether she had been wearing a corset or not. The story goes she was already obviously pregnant when a over enthusiastic relative Clapp her several times on the back in a hug. Later that same day she miscarried the baby. She never wore a corset again. The variables which could have caused the miscarriage are many. But she, her doctor made the link. As far as her her stories goes this is the only miscarriage she has mentioned. So it wasn't a regular occurrence for her.

in the 50s my great aunt and her two best friends worked their way across Europe semi-backpacking and staying at b and b's. She coined the term APC "Arms, Pits and Crotch" - they'd stay at these places with no running water and just use the apc method with a sponge or wash cloth. I've been to many festivals where APC was the only way you could bathe.

If needed you can always use a sprinkler bottle ( glass bottle with a cap/holes); or for convenience, a spray bottle, to keep the garment damp for ironing.

The wooden spoon trick gave me a fantastic idea: I’ve been looking for ways for press sleeves for children’s garments (I.e very small so wouldn’t fit in a regular sleeve board). I could use a wooden rolling pin!!

That looks very similar to my Mennonite grandmother's old Singer, which had probably belonged to her mother or grandmother (my grandmother was born around 1912). It was sold at action in the late 1990s, and had been in use through to at least the early 1980s. Could be the same machine for all I know!

people get very alarmed when I tell them I only wash my hair about once a month -- they assume my hair is smelly and dirty and that I don't clean it at all, which is not true. I like to experiment with living history a bit & I use the method of combing your hair clean -- which works really well! -- so well, that I think my hair is as clean as if I washed it more regularly according to the modern method, and it's definitely in better condition than when I used to wash it every few days. I cannot stress enough that I do not stink

As a relative newcomer to sewing (2 years) I am finding that I am attracted to the vintage machines as opposed to the newest designs with fancy computerized options.

I'm looking forward to making beautiful things...with a deep connection to the history that has brought me on this journey. Thank you Bernadette for demonstrating this awesome machine :)

this is an old video but im questioning if maybe the reason the lining wasn't as wide as the outer shell was due to the yardage of the silk being not as wide as the wool? and maybe circa 2016 bernadette just cut the panels with less width to ensure she had enough of the lining?
