Hello there! My name is Bianca (she/her, ace/queer) and here on The Closet Historian I talk about pattern drafting, sewing, vintage fashion, crafting, interior design, and costuming.
Hello there! Just a heads up that the next (sewing project) video will be out on Monday, and in exchange for your patience, I hope to have a Thursday video for you next week as well ❤️ This renovating stuff really takes it out of a gal, and another transformation is already underway...
Hello pals! A quick update: Unfortunately I got a pretty nasty cold that took me out last week (I swear you dare to leave the house to go antiquing ONE TIME and germs attack?!?) which has lead to an increased delay on this next video. I've been working on extra decor bits while I've been getting my voice back from the extensive upper respiratory system malfunction.
I am finishing up the video edit, and hope to have a nice long home decor video coming for you on Friday morning! Stay well and I'll be with you with my raspy but mostly functioning voice soon ❤
Hello there folks! I'm popping on here to update you on the situation with my current project/next video. Unfortunately the garment I'm working on is taking me far more time to construct than I had originally planned into my schedule, which means while I wanted to have it finished for this week, not only is the video not done...neither is the project!
I would love to blame the cats, as they have been providing plenty of interruptions, but in truth it's chiefly my fault. Whether it's this winter, the world falling into ever more pieces everyday outside, or just my inability to properly calculate the amount of space time needed for sequinning, I have fallen behind. Which means I won't have a video out yet again for you this week. As usual, I feel awful about this!
But I don't want to rush the sewing, or the video edit, because I want to make both the very best version of the garment and of the resulting video possible for you. So I'll be back next week with some irrationally iridescent materials and a project I can be proud of. Thank you for your patience!!
Hey everyone, sooo I was working through editing this week's video for tomorrow, went downstairs to grab a cup of coffee, noticed that the cats must have spilled their water...except they hadn't, there was just water dripping from my dining room ceiling.
There was a big bubble in the paint where it was dripping through the drywall, which quickly crumbed in my hand upon further inspection. So instead of finishing the video, I ran all up and down my house for several hours to find the source of the leak (structural not plumbing related, thankfully? I think) So it looks like the rest of my week is going to be mini-crisis management and roofing repair estimates. Hopefully I will be back with a new video next week! Thank you for your patience!!
I know a lot of this show is very 1986, but there are some KILLER sleeve designs going on here 🤩 Also, many blade runner worthy suits that can get right in my closet thank you...And yes these are the kinds of videos I find myself watching on my lunch break
I promise I'll have a new video on the dining room redecoration coming tomorrow! Let's just say while sewing comes quite naturally to me, carpentry is slightly more of a challenge...
As lately I have been lamenting the lack of options for holiday crafting supply acquisition, I spotted this video post mortem lament this morning discussing the downfall of Joann and simply had to make sure you all had the opportunity to watch it for some closure as well...I should have stocked up on that cheap poly ribbon when I had the chance 😩
I have a foyer update video coming for you tomorrow morning pals! Let's just say I had an idea that I simply had to test, and unfortunately, I love it...
Hello all! A new chonky sewing project video will be coming out tomorrow (Friday the 5th). Typical delays brought to you by hand basted interlinings and excessive feline assistance ✨
Hello all! Just a little note to say this week's new video will be coming out on Friday afternoon/evening instead of on Thursday morning because I still have family in town visiting ❤️ Thank you for your support and patience!
