Juul Thijssen | How It Takes Me 3 Days To Sew 1 Sleeve (this is NOT a tutorial) @JuulThijssen | Uploaded August 2019 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
How it takes me 3 days to sew 1 sleeve...
...which I am considering to take in (make smaller) after I upload this video. This video is an experiment for me to share how I work hand sewing (historical) clothing. With a little bit of research, some sewing experience and a whole lot of questionable home cooked techniques I put stuff together to wear. (#historicallywingingit) Sometimes I work fast, sometimes I am slow: this one sleeve took me 3 days which I condensed into 10 minutes. Please enjoy!
Oh, and TW: dolls. Creepy dolls are part of our interior decoration. Please beware of bisque body parts.

**If you are missing the sound in this video, youre not wrong! I seem to have made some editing mistake and most of the audio is lost on this video. Call it ironic, because a couple of years ago I lost all my sound as well when I became deaf... So I hope you will forgive this humble deaf Costuber this sound-mistake, and still enjoy the video!**
My friend Fanny and I were very inspired by the early 1900s reform- and artistic dress movements, and both wanted to make a garment in this style. We found out that there is a contemporary pattern that makes it very easy to do so, and thought it would be the perfect historical sewing/ history bounding/ quarantine loungewear project for a sewing challenge. Hence, #ReformDressChallenge was born!
For my own reform dress, I am first designing my concept and dyeing my fabric, which can be seen in this part one video. The link to part two: https://youtu.be/eKcYoMK630s
To join the challenge, make your own reform or artistic dress and share your progress and results using the hashtag #ReformDressChallenge. Tagging Fanny @fannyfahdenfroh and or me @juulvictoria is also highly appreciated! We are on Instagram and YouTube, but feel free to spread the word on any platform.
