I Made a Historical Fairy Godmother Costume in a Day

In this video I made a very low key 1790s version of Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother. It was entirely hand sewn in 12.5 hours.

I would just like to thank Noelle from Costuming Drama for sharing this on her Instagram story because it was exactly what I needed. It's 2pm where I live and I've spent all day so far either crying or hyperventilating and this video is the first thing that's worked to calm me down and just breathe. Thank you Cait for this fun and wonderful video and I'm looking forward to watching everything else you've already posted and everything you will post ❤

I'm amazed that you sewed all that by hand so quickly! 😲

[SnappyDragon]

I definitely found thread in my hair yesterday. The gown is gorgeous, and your skills are impressive :D

[drhelenloney]

I have thread and dried bits of plant in my hair, all of the time, and inky fingers. I wear my tasks.

[DamesalaMode]

This is amazing. My "one day make" project is a damn corset cover and I'm not sure I can manage that even using a machine. You are amazing! (Also: funny) (Also: your hair looks so good!)

[noodlestitch]

You are wonderful. I’m going to keep taking three months for things that could be done in a day... because motivation.

Super impressed with your hand sewing speed! I think it's a pretty gown! ♥️

[ElizabethEstervig]

Hand sewing in a day is such a cool flex! Also I love your blue water nymph hair.

I loved this video! I also enjoy the blue color in your hair - super cute. And that turban at the end - gorgeous and perfect with the dress. Well done!

It's such a cute gown though!! Looks quite comfy as well.

It depends on if you count 12 or 24 hours of work as a day.
I think of a day in hours.

Thread always works itself onto (or into) my underwear! I like the bodice style. I've got a full bust and I'd like to give it a try!

[DaisyViktoria]

That is amazing! Certainly an admirable task to hand sew such a lovely dress in a day! BTW I also always have thread in my hair and sometimes all over my clothes LMAO!

[Chibihugs]

Hand sewing goals. You did a marvelous job with this gown. Wow!!🤩 and yes I do have bits of thread in my hair a lot, my curls seem to suck them up.

[serenamcdonald]

Wow. Seriously, I'm so impressed and I am loving your channel. Also, love the blue curls.

[donnellemorrison]

I found your channel through the costube Instagram page. I am really enjoying your videos as I find hand sewing relaxing to watch. I would love if you could show more close up shots of your hand stitching 😊

[peggyriordan]

Congratulations! You did it! It does look really cute on you too. I am sort of new to your channel and have loved each video so far. I look forward to many more!!

English stitch also shows up in the Viborg Shirt from 11th c. Denmark. :-D

I always have some thread in my hairbrush at the end of the day. I need to vaccum more, because I sew sitting on a low coffee table. My desk vibrates to much. And I like to read on the floor. Bad combo.
