Making a Victorian Ballgown: The Skirts | Half-Scale 1884 Sage Ballgown [CC] Hat to Hem 2023-03-24 | Are you ready to start a Victorian Ballgown?This video was a LONG time coming! My patron Stacey gifted me Prior Attire's book the Victorian Dressmaker quite a while back. I had my viewers vote on which gown I should try to recreate at half-scale. They chose this beautiful ballgown and, as you'll hear in the video, that particular gown was very important to me. Well, a baby, a career change, commissions, collaborations, and multiple tax seasons later, I'm finally able to share how I recreated this 1884 Victorian Ballgown!I worked on my voiceover script as I went along so I kept that intact. This video spans two years. The entire project spanned three years. I think it's important to show that these projects don't always get done quickly. Some dresses take 24 hours. Some dresses take three years. Sometimes, the dress is based off of the same inspiration. Real life gets in the way, and that's okay. It happens. The important thing is that we have fun and are kind to ourselves.Thank you all for your patience!Making a Victorian Ballgown: The Bodice Video: youtu.be/htEU3Jmjk6QResources:Prior Attire’s Blog Post That Started It All: adamselindisdress.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/challenge-a-1884-evening-gown-in-24-hoursThe Victorian Dressmaker Book by Izabela Pitcher: priorattire.co.uk/ourshop/prod_6307421-The-Victorian-Dressmaker-book.htmlScaling Up Elements of a Dress Tutorial: youtu.be/J4tgGwBK2BcCalculating Pleats Tutorial: Coming SoonMain Sewing Machine (High Speed Straight Stitch): amzn.to/2CTzH8tIron: amzn.to/2Oo4wYbIroning Board: amzn.to/33WHkHlPressing Ham: amzn.to/2Qp3oWWMeasuring Gauge: amzn.to/2r5RMgTSeam Gauge: amzn.to/2pmXUAWRotary Blade, Ruler, and Mat: amzn.to/2FLdv5DTapestry Needles: amzn.to/3wcO4RNDress Form: amzn.to/2XkUNGeFabulous Fit Dress Form Padding: amzn.to/2Ku6a9OAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Music from epidemicsound.comYou can follow more of my progress by subscribing to my channel and following me on:Instagram: instagram.com/hattohemPO Box:Hat to HemPO Box 182Norwood, PA 1907400:00 Introduction00:20 Why This Gown?00:55 Planning01:48 Patterning and Gathering Materials03:23 Starting the Underskirt04:52 Trimming the Underskirt07:22 The Overskirt09:14 The Reveal (with Flower Preview!)

Anne Shirley & Laura Ingalls: Making Doll Dresses Inspired By Their Costumes Hat to Hem 2023-07-08 | I'm making doll dresses for two of my favorite childhood literary characters: Anne Shirley and Laura Ingalls.

Two weeks since I started sewing, six years since I bought the fabric, and over two decades since I fell in love with these characters! Each dress should fit an 18-inch doll, and they were specifically made to fit American Girl Dolls.

Making Samantha Parkingtons Birthday Dress | #shorts #samanthaparkington #americangirl Hat to Hem 2023-06-02 | When I was a little girl, I spent hours pouring over the American Girl Collection catalog from Pleasant Company. I loved to study the outfits and compare the differences between time periods. The playset I spent the most time staring at was the two-page spread of Samantha's Birthday. It was so beautiful that I never even thought to ask for it because I thought it was too special to own. When I realized how easy it would be to make my own version of Samantha Parkington's Peppermint Birthday Dress, Lacy Pinafore, and rosebud circlet, how could I not try to make it?Check my channel for the full video with full commentary and comparing the different versions of this dress!Though this is family-friendly content, this is first and foremost a sewing video, not a video made specifically for children.Music: EpidemicSound.com

Making Danielles Work Dress | Ever After Costume Hat to Hem 2023-01-26 | When my husband and I decided to go to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire this year, I knew I wanted to dress up. This felt like the perfect time to make an Ever After costume! Most 90s babies (and 80s babies) have a strong attachment to the Ever After movie (AKA Ever After: A Cinderella Story) with many costumers referring to it as a gateway into an interest in historical costuming. (Which makes sense after all. The costumes are stunning and were designed by Jenny Beavan who is one of my favorite costume designers!)Anyway! The trouble was what dress do I make? Given that I had a limited budget that wouldn't ever allow for brocade or velvet, Danielle's Work Dress was the obvious choice. This dress is simpler than the other court-worthy gowns in the movie, but that doesn't mean it isn't lovely in its own right!Follow along with me as I make Danielle's Work Dress from Ever After!Are you interested in exclusive content, project previews, and voting privileges?

How to Pad a Dress Form | No Sewing! No Duct Tape! No Problem! Hat to Hem 2022-09-02 | Not long ago, I was tagged in a video about someone starting a new project. In the video, she mentioned that she couldn't find a dress form that was true to her size. Since I'm about to start my Ever After dress project anyway, I wanted to take some time to show a relatively simple and inexpensive way to pad a dress form. I use this system to pad my dress form to fit myself as well as my clients. Are you interested in exclusive content, project previews, and voting privileges?

I Used the Original Pattern to Make Samantha’s Birthday Dress! | Peppermint Dress and Lacy Pinafore Hat to Hem 2022-06-04 | When I was a little girl, I spent hours pouring over the American Girl Collection catalog from Pleasant Company. I loved to study the outfits and compare the differences between time periods. The playset I spent the most time staring at was the two-page spread of Samantha's Birthday. It was the most elegant thing I had ever seen. Every detail was so beautiful. It was so beautiful that I never even thought to ask for it because I thought it was too special to own. When I realized how easy it would be to make my own version of Samantha Parkington's Peppermint Birthday Dress, Lacy Pinafore, and rosebud circlet, how could I not try to make it?Though this is family-friendly content, this is first and foremost a sewing video, not a video made specifically for children.Are you interested in exclusive content, project previews, and voting privileges?

I Made Maternity Regency Stays | Maternity Corset Hat to Hem 2022-05-14 | In 2020, at three months pregnant, I decided to make a Regency Dress for Halloween.

Making a 1910s Dress | Historic Philadelphia: Part 4 | Video Diary 10 Hat to Hem 2022-02-18 | Note: This video was originally filmed between March 30th and June 3rd, 2020. It's very weird editing a video that is nearly two years old. This video predates my camera so it was filmed on my phone. I clearly forgot to plug in the microphone more than once. It was fun to see what a learning curve I was going through when it came to making videos and see how my filming and editing styles have developed over time.The commission is almost over! In this video, I'm finishing the 1910s blouse, skirt, and hat as well as a sash. The design does change a few times, but I think that's one of the exciting things about sewing; it's can be an ever-changing process. Sometimes you might have an idea pretty solidly in your mind's eye, but then you realize a different direction is better.Thank you to my patrons for making this video possible.

The focus and color might be a little off. I'm sorry!While I was making my Year in Review Video, I thought some viewers might be curious about which video performed best. Then I thought they might be curious about how much I made. Then I thought they might be curious about how much individual videos make. By the time I made a list of things I wanted to mention, I realized it might be best to make a separate video rather than make a forty minute video. So, this is that video.

Our Disney Parks Themed Nursery! | Vintage Disney Nursery Reveal Hat to Hem 2021-07-30 | Having gotten engaged in Disney World then celebrating our first anniversary in Disneyland, the Disney Parks are pretty important to us. Taking inspiration from some prints, I designed a colorful Disney Parks-themed nursery.I had previously painted an It's a Small World-inspired mural on the wall. From geometric curtains to a colorful quilt, we were able to mirror the mural while an area rug matched the colors perfectly. I found wonderful vintage ride posters on Etsy which led to mid-century modern influences on the crib, dresser, and bookcase. I made a mobile with origami birds to reference the Enchanted Tiki Room. Some IKEA wall lights became the Up house floating away. (Right after we got engaged, we were walking along a deserted, rain-soaked Main Street when Married Life came on over the speakers. The timing was magical!) Finally, gifts from our family and friends decorated the rest of the room.I'm so pleased with how this room turned out. It's so rare that things turn out exactly how you imagine and I'm so glad this was one of those times!Help support my channel!patreon.com/hattohemko-fi.com/hattohemWatch me paint the It's a Small World Mural for the nursery! youtu.be/dgeM1zKDM-MArtists Mentioned:Jerrod Maruyama: instagram.com/jmaruyamaTwo Little Ducklings (Pooh Name Print): twolittleducklingsco.comfacebook.com/2LittleDucklingsinstagram.com/two._.little._.ducklingsItems Featured:Dumbo Bedding: amzn.to/3zNIZyfWinnie the Pooh sheets: amzn.to/3idgfcAMobile Kit: amzn.to/3BQ0zDTLegs used on Bookcase: amzn.to/3fc4Bg5Area Rug: ruggable.com/products/mickey-polka-dots-multicolor-rugDiaper Pail: amzn.to/3idOf8GVintage Disney Ride Prints (I used the Elias color scheme): etsy.com/shop/MainStAttractionsOwl Plush Puppet: amzn.to/3BVhrZBWoody Toy*: amzn.to/3BVhrZBBuzz Toy*: amzn.to/3BVhrZBJessie Toy*: amzn.to/2WnWpTd*not exact, but similar styleAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Music: EpidemicSound.comYou can follow more of my progress by subscribing to my channel and following me on:Instagram: instagram.com/hattohemFacebook: facebook.com/hat2hemPO Box:Hat to HemPO Box 182Norwood, PA 19074
I Used the Edwardians Ideal Proportions to Get the Perfect Silhouette | Designing Lady | Half-Scale Hat to Hem 2021-07-16 | I used a Table of Proportions from "Turn-of-the-Century Fashion Patterns and Tailoring Techniques" by S. S. Gordon to achieve the Perfect Edwardian Silhouette!As always, when starting a new era, in order to get that perfect silhouette, you need to start from the skin and work your way out. I decided to see if I could get that Edwardian silhouette while using a base of Victorian Undergarments. It involved making a corset cover, hip padding, and a new petticoat. I meant to get this project done in a few days, but a new arrival threw me wildly off course!My Lady and the Tramp Inspired Half-Scale Costume Video: youtu.be/OabEzWgWCX8Help support my channel!patreon.com/hattohemko-fi.com/hattohem00:00 - Intro01:51 - Corset Cover10:44 - Hip Padding13:31 - New Arrival14:05 - Petticoat17:35 - Mail CallVideos mentioned:My Designing Lady Watercolor Video: youtu.be/zlYDz1TPZTYMy Half-Scale Chemise, Drawers and Corset Video: youtu.be/PBZxuMB7Id8My Half-Scale Victorian Petticoat Video: youtu.be/9U1-c7QNaysSupplies and Equipment:Turn-of-the-Century Fashion Patterns and Tailoring Techniques Book: amzn.to/2UiH4mbHalf-Scale Dressform: trulyvictorian.info/index.php/product/demifashions-half-size-dress-formMain Sewing Machine (High-Speed Straight Stitch): amzn.to/2CTzH8tIron: amzn.to/2Oo4wYbIroning Board: amzn.to/33WHkHlPressing Ham: amzn.to/2Qp3oWWRotary Blade, Ruler, and Mat: amzn.to/2FLdv5DAs an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Music: EpidemicSound.comYou can follow more of my progress by subscribing to my channel and following me on:Instagram: instagram.com/hattohemFacebook: facebook.com/hat2hemPO Box:Hat to HemPO Box 182Norwood, PA 19074
The BEST Way to Knot Your Thread | Quilters Knot Tutorial | Sewing for Beginners Hat to Hem 2021-07-02 | I wasn't expecting to make a "How to Tie a Knot with Thread" tutorial. As is so often the case, when you've been doing something a certain way for a long time, you tend to forget that you ever learned it at all. When I recently had a commenter ask how I knotted my thread because they had seen it before but they hadn't had it explained, I realized it wasn't something I thought about. The next time I had to knot my thread, I went slowly and I realized that, while it might not make a ton of sense if I tried to write out a reply, I could absolutely make a video showing how this is done! (Also, turns out this is called a Quilter's Knot! I learned something while making this!)Is there a tutorial you'd like to see? Let me know! I can't guarantee I'll make a video about it, but I will definitely consider it!Help support my channel!patreon.com/hattohemko-fi.com/hattohemMusic: epidemicsound.comYou can follow more of my progress by subscribing to my channel or following me on:Instagram: instagram.com/hattohemIf you are interested in a commission or have a business inquiry, you can email me athattohem@gmail.com
My Elven Maternity Photoshoot Dress | #elvencore aesthetic? Hat to Hem 2021-06-18 | Is elvencore a thing? Fairycore? Princesscore? Elvenfairyprincesscore? Either way, when I was designing my fantasy maternity photoshoot dress, I was very inspired by the aesthetic of the elves from J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Honestly, I just wanted the big flowy sleeves. When I was younger, I never would have dreamed I'd be sewing my own maternity photoshoot gown...or that maternity photoshoots were a thing...It's crazy how life goes sometimes! 0:00 Mockup3:12 Lining5:26 Chiffon8:24 Mail Call13:52 Facing and Sleeves18:19 Lace and Hem19:33 Final ShotsThank you to my patrons for making this video possible.

A Tour of the Real-Life Green Gables! | Anne of Green Gables Home Hat to Hem 2021-05-21 | Help support my channel!patreon.com/hattohemko-fi.com/hattohem In 2018, my husband and I went on a short tour of Canada for our honeymoon. We visited Quebec City, Halifax, Cape Breton, and, the whole reason we even thought of the trip, Prince Edward Island. We're big fans of all things Anne Shirley, from the books to the movies to the Netflix series. It was just our anniversary, so I thought you might be interested in a tour of the real-life Green Gables.Inspired by Lucy Maud Montgomery's classic book series, Green Gables has been lovingly recreated in Cavendish, the town that inspired Avonlea. After walking through the Haunted Forest (just like Anne and Diana Barry) from the L.M. Montgomery's Cavendish National Historic Site, the Cuthbert's charming house sits on a hill between the barn and Lover's Lane.Details from Anne of Green Gables are placed throughout the home. Were you able to spot:-Anne's Beloved Puffed Sleeved Dress-The carpet bag Anne brought with her on the train to Green Gables-The slate she broke over Gilbert Blythe's head-Marilla's amethyst brooch-Matthew's hat and cane-The raspberry cordial Let me know in the comments if you spotted any other details! And let me know if you'd be interested in a video where I talk about Anne's Puffed Sleeved Dress and possibly try to recreate it!Thank you for indulging me in my trip down memory lane!
