I am a little short on time for my usual project videos lately, but I'd still like to spend some time with you lovely folks! I want to film a Q & A, so now is a great time to ask me whatever you like!


What's my favorite color? Music? TV show? Sailor Scout? Is there anything you are curious about? Let me know!

@thevictorianneedle

Do you have any other historical garments planned? Anything in the 17th, 18th, Edwardian or Victoria eras?

@maike__-

This may be weird but what kind of undergarments do you own and can you show us how to make them? I've been told to start with the undergarments as they tend to be easier for a beginner but I can rarely find videos on that :/ Love your videos!

Can you give us a tour of your sewing room/ space? Explain all your tools of the trade and storage techniques. Aside from patterns of fashion what other historical sewing books can you recommend?

I thought of another one... Tips for hand sewn princess seams... I have not mastered how to make both sides identical.... I ponder the use of a template as a guide ( reminiscent of English Paper Pieceing).... hmmm... (thoughtfully stroking my pinky finger)... I just thought of that as I was typing, (nodding)... that might work. All those compound curves and bias angles stabilized by basting to heavy paper.. it seems so obvious ... yet, I had not thought of it until just now. I don't know anyone (other than myself) in real life who hand sews,... I thank you for the inspiration your videos bring !
