🎶 Larpity larp! larpity larp larp! 🎶

I love the Halloween-themed fabric.

Ok, definitely moving that kirtle up the sewing list. Might have to fiddle with the amount of boning during the mock up stage.

The ‘asking Instagram’ rant was completely hilarious!!!! 🤣 XXX Thank yoooooouuuuu for showing the patterning. I wish more people did that! 😄XXX

Thank you, oh Angels of RUclips, for showing me this fun, interesting, informative, clear, down-to-earth, historically-inspired sewist and her beautiful familiar. 😁💝🐾

Sewing with the house panther, that's every project ever in my house. Love the fabric by the way.

Ok. This gave me a great idea for a wrap to wear for work during Halloween week.

It’s August, I’m working on UFO’s and organizing my paper patterns. The Pile is not as huge as it once was… the Victorian Crazy Quilt pillow or shawl sized project, really needs to start, I have amassed two totes of velvets and brights. However it comes after the dragon wing capelet on its third year in the pile… love all the sewing adjacent crafts! I used to LARP in a small way, I also used to do medieval re-enactment. It was a fearless time for me, so much learning, some successes some notable failures. Your channel and The Stitchery have got me excited about sewing again. Thanks for all that you do.

I don’t recall seeing Sir Cat in prior videos, welcome and he’s gorgeous! The kirtle is great, I love hearing what’s unnecessary-many tutorials will declare things are necessary and I’m like “nah!” but it’s better to know for sure.

Measuring the shoulders ughhh wish I knew that before. My husbands shoulders are enormously wide and mine are ehh so nothing works the same when trying to make stuff. But this should!

I appreciated your early statement that your degree was anthropology, because I did not previously know that and I felt it really gave me context here for your observations. I have seen a few RUclipsrs posting about their Hobbit costumes, which is what piqued my interest in the video, even though I am not big into Tolkien or LOTR, but saw the 90s(?) movies.

Question, how to make a skirt that looks good on someone with a large midline?

Great video tutorial

Came for the sewing, stayed for the kitty!😂

I have made some mockups for a kirtle and I am going to start working on the real thing soon.

I watched this video and the pocket follow up last night, and I’m gonna do it. I’m going to make it! I’m terrified. But it’s the first time I feel like something is approachable for me. Thanks for making this video!

It's Thursday, my dudes!

Have to feed the RUclips gods. Also, making a waistcoat at the moment.

Just ordered Know Me ME 2076 - what a gem!!

I have a Tudor kirtle pattern I've kept languishing for years! Maybe this is what I need to actually use it 😂

I adore C.J. Cherryh!!! the Foreigner series is my favourite series of her, focused on an official Human Atevi translator / mediator (I'm a language nerd), there are large steed animals - horse like, but BIGGER. Yes, she is a thoroughly wonderful human, who broke the glass ceiling, winning prized as assumption was that initials were for a male author. Her word play, world building, utterly different series, she has an amazing formal educational C.V., and is a great human to follow on crack book. I also love the Chanur Series as a close second - Space Faring bipedal CAT like creatures.

Charming and delightful video. Your tutorials are so refreshingly matter-of-fact, and there's something very satisfying about the sound of sharp shears cutting through cloth that is so soothing. I'll look forward to the next one!

Lovely kirtle. Where did you get the black cat fabric? OK I've got a thing for cats... and kirtles.

I see a Void! 🐈Pets from my Void and Void wannabe (tuxedo 😄)

Thank you for another great video 😀

Great fabrics, great dress, great cat cameos and a great video. Thanks! I'll be checking out the book.

Kitty demands attention 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

comment for the algorithm gods! I needed this dose of inspiration to do some sewing. also, thank you for informing me this book exists. I have been wanting to try alt forms of boulder holders and now I know where to get some patterns.

congrats on figuring out the pattern! it looks very smart

14:35 Considering I have a smocked apron cut out, hemmed, and ready to go, but measuring and marking the smocking lines is the one thing keeping me from finishing the darn thing...heard. But unfortunately for smocking the preciseness matters a little bit more. (Still not, like, that much. I should just skip it, but we'll see.)

You've convinced me, I need to get that book! Been on the fence for a while but your kirtles look amazing and now I want one too 😁 The fit of the halloween one had me slightly starstruck and the green woolsy fabric had me wanting one in that same fabric (and slightly salivating). Thank you for the video!

Always wondered how you'd get the waist done without it becoming really bulky. I made and mocked up the kirtle pattern according to Morgan Donner's instructions and have made a short pinafore version that I'm really happy with, just have to make the full length version. It's going to be this lovely plum linen my friend gave me and I think I'll use the black linen I bought on sale to line down to the bottom of the lacing opening. Been thinking about how to get fuller skirts as the way I did it before was effectively rectangles and gores, and that works pretty well on me, I just need to try it with much bigger gores than what I've been getting out of whatever yardage is left after I decide hem and sleeve lengthts. On the first one I made I used a reinforcement of some cotton canvas where the lacing holes went, and I used rainbow cotton crochet yarn for the eyelets. Might do that again, might not, depends how tightly woven my linen turns out to be when I start using it. Thanks for showing shortcuts. I've been starting to use a sewing machine for some construction seams now and then, as much as I enjoy hand sewing sometimes my hands don't.

Thank you for the tutorial! :) After a few circle skirts, im going to try this dkirt with the pockets. Since you asked what we all put in pur pockets - i have a cape with a total of 10 individual pokets that hold house keys, car keys, wallet, phone, ibuprofen (freequent headaches), small notebook+pen, paper tissues, small shopping bag, poop bags,… stuff like that :D

Yes! I just made my first kirtle (also from Tudor Tailor!) in a rainbow plaid, and also love it! I wish I’d had your video before I started.

I think I've used fabric from the same collection for a few face masks. The musical gave a real Tomorrow's world/ 1970's open university instructional video vibe to the whole thing 😂 Have you seen the closet historian's waistcoat video? That has instructions on how to line sleeveless armholes

Lovely!

I just had a brilliant idea that would also be extremely tricky but would look cool. Cording in a spider web pattern

it's funny how, from afar, that halloween fabric looks vaguely 18th century.

Love it! I may have to make a trip (IRL or virtually) to a book store and buy that book! I'm not a perfectionist by any means and have tried making dresses in the past and have always made mistakes that make them unwearable and then give up. My thing now is making skirts (a modified mid 18th century petticoat/hobbitcore pattern) with pockets which even if I mess up something it's usually still good to wear. I might get brave and try this! But not until I've finished the skirts I already have fabric for!

_Note for Robin The Parttime Sewist_ - We can meet for coffee(s) at either Planet Coffee in The Byward Market, or at Equator Coffee Roasters at the base of the NAC at the War Memorial square. Thank you for this video, Mx. Ash! I have a roll of a soft yellow wool that I've put aside for a kirtle... And thank you for providing a platform to talk to my Pen Pal Robin!!! Much fun... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

Okay but I'm in love with the fabrics you used????

Simply perfect.

All the best videos have some obligatory cat content 😻

Cat is adorable. I may have to try a kirtle again.

Commenting for the deities - thank you, Ash!

How do you turn the top? I tried making a few but i cant get it turned when there is a lining in it.

Totally would have used the spider webs as my pattern too!

Thanks for this video. Been wondering about the Tudor Tailor. Wondering no longer

This was the encouragement I needed to actually try cartridge pleats

Ive made a few patterns from the tudor tailor. It really is a great book.
