Every video you make me fall in love with whatever garment you've chosen. So glad to see you still working on this series and forever grateful for the included pattern instructions :)!

I've had to add carrying around a bunch of baby goats in giant pockets to my list of life goals after seeing that picture.

[EmmanuellaAlexandra]

Oh Katerina finally u r back. Missed you like crazy dear❤❤ hope you're doing okay and Happy New Year😊

[MagnataGomez]

This series is so unbelievably comfy. I aspire to have your patience and attention to detail! I also absolutely love the way you talk about the fashion from the past, including real world details, like the fact that the inventions of dies obviously had a big impact on the way clothes were made. The "competent woman explaining stuff to me" genre is such a joy to watch.

I very much agree that putting cute little sheep in my pockets is the ultimate goal 💕

[alefaadel]

Mitered corner in english, watching over and over again, beautiful and artistic

Katerina I've been going through a terrible phase of grief and guilt and to see a new upoload from you really helps me keep some sanity and pause the pain for some minutes. Thank you

The most appropriate name I can think of for the "thingies" would be to call them bretelles. French for suspenders apparently. Also, I have a 1940s necktie made of what I now believe is a rayon(?) cady, so thank you for saying the name of that fabric😅 Incredible video as always <3

[caninenortherner]

😮 she’s
Hope you’re doing alright, glad to see you posting again 😊

[hrumoqxy]

I'm so happy you're back! There's nobody making videos like you

[EvraMaradonia]

Thank all that is good and holy, Katerina has posted again! I got through my work so quickly today and boiled the kettle so fast so I could sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy this wonderful gift in the form of a new video. Thank you for posting again, I look forward to watching and rewatching! ❤

[dandelionrain]

i was just binge watching your videos thinking abt when you'd be back
im so happpy
i love your videos, your clothes, your attention to detail, your humour and everyyyything
also i hope you are doing better now 🥹

[flatflo]

I love the history and perspective you bring to your projects. Also the attention to detail and hand-sewn details. Plus your forethought to future Katerina. Not to forget your humor.

[marik]

every time i see one of your videos come up my world is brighter and I remember I have a sewing machine

[YunsuSong]

You're back! Your videos are like a soothing cup of tea that subtly smells of tantalising spices. And LOL the clip of Yonsei University with everyone wearing black, as a Korean I laughed. Everyone wore the same long black padded jumper at one point. Black is easy to maintain and goes with everything so people prefer it for winter outerwear, but I sometimes do want to see colour on the metro etc. Love how your vids are so well researched and presented too! I marvel at your organisation skills and always learn a lot

[gerileemakes]

I was just thinking about you yesterday, wondering when there would be another video. I told myself, "good things take time." And here you are! With another excellent video. Thank you!

[Skuggkatten]

Lovely run through. 👏🏻❤ Always emphasize the washing of fabrics (and materials) prior to sewing. Nothing is more depressing than washing a dress (100% Cotton) to realize that the zipper is now about as straight as a washboard, because it was polyester and did not shrink with the garment.😣🤦🏻‍♀️
Or forgetting to wash the cotton ribbon prior to using it on a skirt hem,
; And after washing you are now the hesitant owner of a balloon skirt, because the ribbon wrinkled it at the bottom. 😢

[jckvkc]

OMG I'm so glad you're back🎉🎉🎉

[ultrammaar]

I love your videos, please post more often, for me you are the best in sewing content

[kk]

Yes!!!! You are back ❤ I can't even describe how grateful I am for your work ... Thank You from the bottom of my heart 🙏 I am currently working on your silk briefs and nightgown. I am so happy for this channel and for your creations in the future ☺
