My name is Lucy, I'm a Dutchwoman here to offer an alternative approach to beauty.

On this channel I do mostly hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies, tv shows or history and I regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!

I really enjoy diving into history to find out how women went about their beauty and dressing rituals in days past. Vintage and history-themed videos are my little passion project.

You'll find a bit of lifestyle content here as well, ranging from cozy chats over a cup of tea (my beloved Tea Time videos) to personal vlogs and home & interior videos.

Enjoy browsing!

Love,
Lucy

I fell in love with that dress when I watched Queens Gambit!!!

Another alternative to lining or facing mentioned below would be to bind the neckline and arm scyes with bias binding. When you mentioned hemming the arms I died inside at the pain of making those curves sit properly! Binding is a great way to get around that without adding much bulk to an edge :)

You look so adorable, oh my goodness! I'm obsessed with this pinafore!!! It looks like something I would pay like $60 for on ASOS, so the fact that you made it in one day is incredibly impressive, even with the "sloppy finishes" (that I would have no idea, as a non-seamstress, are sloppy haha). Keep up the cozy sewing content, sweet lady! Much love from a 10-year subscriber ;)

It looks great! In the future of you don't want to line a bodice, you can always make facings instead. It's so swooshy and looks great on you! 😊

I love hearing your thought process in figuring out how to make another pattern work with your ideas. That is beautiful fabric. I also love the costumes on the show. You probably need to invest in a serger, at least a used one.

[BenjaminDls]

When I saw the dress in the episode, I paused and spent an hour trying to find similar dresses because it's beautiful

[Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

for the bodice, another option from lining would be facings. that would have finished your edges without any stitching on top. did you clip your seams on the curve of the breast on the princess seams? looks like they aren't quite laying as flat as they should?

[thedabler]

So clever and this 59 year old seamstress wannabe is so impressed with you!

[TheVelvetKitten]

Great video! I am thrilled to know that her dress was a dark green and the fact that it is a full circle skirt makes so much sense because of the time period they are supposed to be in. I always regret cutting corners after I do it! I intentionally slowed myself down a couple dresses back to do the work as perfectly as possible. And it was so satisfying. You look amazing in the dress!

[andrewstiller]

Beautiful pinafore. Like you, the thing I like best about "The Queen's Gambit" are the wonderful clothes.

Whenever I watch your sewing videos I'm stoked to see that sewing machine. I always think that west of Poland there are only old Singers. Even I own an old Singer instead of Łucznik like my grandma.

[reynadominguez]

We need a hair and makeup tutorial of Beth now 🥰

[JJ_]

I also fell in love with this dress the moment I saw it on the mannequin in the show and thought 'I need that dress in my life!'. You did a wonderful job recreating it. It looks great on you!

[TheMetatronGirl]

I think I like your fabric even better! Very well done. I am always so impressed with the way you just jump in to things you’ve never done before. You help me get over my anxiety from starting new things. Love, light, and blessings to you and yours.

I ended up watching your Celtic studies yesterday and LOVED it. I'd love some more info on your field of specialisation. Maybe you can show footage of hair or clothes styling with you talking about something Celtic related or tape a commentary.

[ardicesaugar]

So cute! Seam binding is your magic helper.

[lindamann]

You did a beautiful job making that dress love your work please keep sewing you really do inspire me to sew my own clothes am so very happy for you and getting engaged can't wait to see you sew your wedding dress looking forward to it

[MsCarmabelle]

I love this! I saw a similar pinafore (different shoulders) in the October issue of Burda style and its been on my mind every since! One in a plaid would be so nice!

[decemberschild]

Good job! You look great!!
Just goes to show you that, in fashion, what is old becomes new again.
I grew up calling that style a jumper (USA) and it reminds me of the school uniforms of my youth.
Twelve years of jumpers and powder blue blouses!
I can't go back to that (not w/o therapy!), but it is a very cute style and I love seeing so many younger folks embrace it.
Also love your dive in and do it attitude!

Oh, I clicked on your video thinking you were sewing the Gambit’ s pinafore pattern that is free in peppermint magazine, lol. I have it downloaded but not sewn up yet. You did a great job figuring it out on your own.
