#i slowed the sieve lining sleems by machine #i slowed the sleem lining seems by machime The facts are all there in the brain and the words are all there on the laptop out of frame, they just get stuck on the way out.įinally recording the voiceover now and I’m making good progress, but Blargh it’s not easy to say “ I sewed the sleeve lining seams by machine” I do not say this many things about shoulders in the video.)Īll this ought to be on my other blog where the sewing usually goes, but here you go, the dinosaur has more context now! And shoulder pads weren’t a thing until the 20th century.

(It’s a thing movie costumes get wrong a lot! So so so many 18th century film costumes suffer from Modern Shoulder Disease. bleh.)Īnyways what I’m TRYING to say here is that on 18th century tailored things (which is what I’m used to doing) they wanted the shoulders to be narrow and pressed all the seam allowances in towards the body when they sewed the sleeve in so there’s absolutely no shoulder puff and the top of the sleeve fits in very smoothly.Īnd on 19th century tailored things (strange and foreign to me) they did want some puff at the top of the sleeve, and quite a lot in some of the earlier decades, so they’d press all that fabric out into the sleeve to bulk it up a bit, and often do some gathers up there. (Tumblr will let me add audio, gifs, and photos to a reblog but not videos for some foolish reason! So I have to upload and embed this 51 second clip. (The mannequin hand is unrelated and will not be in the final video, I just wanted to see how the sound would come across on the microphone, which was not well because it was close and too loud.) This isn’t even every take of this line :( I am editing this part right now (the part where I talk about the sleeve & shoulder seam allowance) and wow I am bad at saying the words! even though I know very well what I mean and also write them all out!! I keep trailing off in the middle of sentences because I forget what comes next, and have to look over at my laptop to reread it before trying to say it again. I just have a bit of stage fright and a very bad short term memory! Oh it’s not the wording, I write out everything beforehand, and have been told I’m quite good at describing sewing methods in a useful way. turning that back into words is not a simple process! It can be unbelievably difficult to articulate in detail, something you have been doing for so long that it is mostly muscle memory. Maybe someday I won’t have jump cuts in between almost every single sentence! Recording the Talking On Camera intro & outro portions of my sewing videos is so hard but I’m improving! slowly!
