The Tailorette
Приєднався 23 лип 2015
Hello friends!
Welcome to my youtube channel! I am Cassaundra (The Tailorette). I make Historical costumes and sell them on Etsy for a living and love to create tasteful garments.
Here you will find my journey as a seamstress from how I create to simply my life in my studio. I like to say that I am a historical costumer, but I mainly create for the artwork, not necessarily for the accuracy. However, I do see that historical records do help with creating a garment that looks unique and in its right place. My main goal is create beautiful pieces of clothing that reflect certain eras, but that may include some elements of inaccurate techniques to create a certain look. In general, I mainly stick with historical silhouettes and add my own flare if need be. I'm all about no limitations!
Feel free to make yourself and home, I would love to have you apart of my community!

I have watched so many sewing videos, and this was by far the most helpful!! Thank you so much!!
I’m so glad this helped you! 🙂
Same here
Thank you for not doing some long winded intro or play music, or lolly gag around. Straight to the point, thank you
@@LeeHowell-g8s so glad this was helpful. I try to aim for straight to the point!
My mechine keeps knoting underneath my fabric then jaming
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable video. I was given a Sally Stanely pleater and i didn't know how to use it😅
Underlining was normal during that era. Only on UA-cam so I hear it called flat lining. It was often found in tailoring to create shape. If a thin cotton achieved the same result in structure, it was used because it was cheaper. Then comes the lining. Historical accuracy is nice and something to aim for but not possible, unless the fabric is made exactly like back then, using the same species of plants and animals to begin with. Chances of that happening are nil. Factor in machine sewing and historical accuracy really goes out the window. I love to mix period with contemporary clothing while giving off the Goth vibe. Mix that with budgetary restraints that most normal mortals don't ever face, it is a challenge. Toss in capsule and it gets fun as the pieces have to do double to quadruple duty as professional work wear, Goth, casual, business casual and we'll just fun. The accessories are the trick... Eventually I will no longer be on disability and go back to work. 😊
I just bought an older dress from. It is similar to Frances. Does anyone know who made her? I cannot find a brand name
I think the brand name is dritz
@@thetailorette thank you!
Your teaching is incredible ! From the minute you said press everting , it make such a difference in your work . When my girls were young l made all their clothes and l loved it ! I did a lot of hand sewing and tons of pressing . Please keep teaching , l have learned so much from you ! By the way your little girl is beautiful ! I know she will have gorgeous things her Mom will make her . Thank You for sharing all your knowledge with so many of us .
This is a great tutorial!!! Very helpful!! Thank you so much
Thank you for great instructions. My Elna air, keeps jamming, but also stitches are bunched up. What is the standard stitch length for sewing? Perhaps my tensions are wrong..🙈
@@martinedann7025 your tension could be wrong if you notice one side of the fabric has loose or tight stitches. I should make a video on tension… makes a world of difference! It’s possible you may have some threads that have not been removed properly too.
Lmao I was making every single mistake imaginable and wondering if I just have a shitty machine.
@@nolanhardy3320 it’s easy to do all the wrong things! I’m convinced that’s why some people give up on sewing.
I don't like this video I love it!!!!!!!!!!
@@gwendolynjones6897 thank you!
Nice video. Very informative.
I just started im using a singer start 1304 ..i have tried the bobbin both ways it still jams up and the top thread gets stuck under the bottom thread and jams up and even the top thread will snap off some how? Im lost
That is 100% your sewing machine. New singer sewing machines are known for jamming up. I’ve never sewn one straight line on a new singer without jamming. Don’t let this make you give up on sewing!
I recommend a brother sewing machine if you don’t have a large sum to spend. If you want to invest in something guaranteed quality, I recommend babylock brand.
Why does the needle keep getting stuck and literally stop moving (during work)
Are not able to see on it anymore? It’s possible your machine is out of time, or a wad of thread is bound up inside.
Oooh, do the pink suit next PLEASE!!!!!
I did NOT know about the needle needing to be all the way up, I am seeing you for the first time cuz, my bobbin is jamming and stumbled upon this video! I hope I’m getting into a hurry and this is the problem. I’ve been sewing for many years and all the sudden this is happening AND I’m literally trying to rush lol regardless if this is the problem or not, great tip!
It was good the serger did that ruffle for you! Before seeing that, I watched some videos of you doing the baste lines and gathering them and I wondered why you wouldn't use a shirring foot attachment or even a ruffler attachment...so much faster. The stitch length and tension dictact the ratio on shirring foot and the ruffle attachment is adjustable as well. ( to make the process a bit faster, maybe you cut more ruffle longer and cut off access , that way you don't have to figure the ration precisely. The other thing that strikes me, is it may be simpler to add the ruffle before the pleating and waist band beings you have the length all figured out. ( of course, I have never made dresses like these, but I have sewn hundreds of yards of ruffles for home decor.)
You just made my day. I found my dream vintage wedding dress, but it's too small. I was hoping this could work
Hi, just curious. I love that you "show the digital feature" to adjust the speed. However, I can't seem to find that in the description of the link you provided for the purchase or on other ads for this. Could you please tell me if "this is an added on feature?" TYIA :)
Loved this video 😊 thank you so much for the detailed explanation 💕
You did your thing with that! They don’t make them like you anymore😅
For those of us who don't have a pleater but want this exact look how far apart does each "stitch" end up being in that first tighter section? From the mat scale it looks like maybe its 1/4"?
Totally ruined
What would the approximate cost be to restore?
Very beautiful skirt
In creating your own fashions, you get EXACTLY what you want. As far as the reworking goes "repeat steps until you're happy with it" perfection takes time and patience.
I TOTALLY am with you in doing what i have named the "snitpicky details". A professional seamstress would do the same detailing/finishing steps. I love it when people ask where I've gotten a garment. I tell them i think i can remember where I'd gotten the materials.
Hi nice video question this can do zigzag?
What do you do if your machine does get jammed? Ive check there’s no thread stuck anywhere but every time I try again it jams again!!😣
This weas great Thank you so much for making this video! I subscribed. I know I am a small channel, but I love you to stop by and watch a few videos. If you like anything of what you see to, please subscribe.
What a fabulous transformation and updated dress. The level of detail you went to is incredible, all that hand stitching shiw how professional you are. I hope she loved it ❤
What is the make/model of the servo motor that you have? The display at the edge of the table, rather than down underneath is awesome.
6:48 this happens in the middle of me sewing and when i push down on the peddle it doesnt move
SUPER helpful thank you!!
Sad... what is with this generation's hatred of sleeves?
You did a wonderful job and I guess I’m of the minority here but the dress before looked so wonderful I cried when the bottom of the top part was cut.
Thank you for this video! I've been having the last issue you mentioned when trying to remove the fabric at the end. No settings had changed, and I hadn't been having issues prior to that. All of a sudden, that issue kept happening. I must've been trying to remove it too soon without even realizing it. I will be paying more attention to that now. Thank you! 🧡
So glad to hear my video helped resolve your problem! It’s amazing how small things like that can cause an issue!
What is that gadget over the pressure foot?
Do you mean the black wire over the foot? That is a guard so I don’t run over my finger 🙂
❤❤
Id like to do this but how do you determine the box pleat size?
I take my waist measurement and divide it by however my box pleats I want. Let’s say I want six box pleats in my skirt and I have a 36” waist. That would mean I make each box pleats 6” finished. Hope that makes sense 🙂
Hi, was there a problem with all the oil in the pan under the machine as you were moving it home? Were there any leaks or spills during the journey?
Good question! I always need to add a lot more oil to my machine after I move. I started emptying the oil out due to it spilling. Hope that helps 🙂
OMG, I cut off the side of my index finger too! It still hurts 3 years later and doesn’t have normal sensation. I bought some steel mesh gloves to try and prevent a recurrence. I had to go to the ER, but there was nothing to stitch together, so they just put stuff to stop the bleeding and lots of gauze. I’m so sorry for you too.
Oh man that’s no good! I had to have stitches and that was no fun either. Thankfully the more I’ve used it the better the feeling comes back. But that was 7 years ago so it’s taken time to heal!
Wow what a huge craft room I want it
Thank you! Very helpful.
Twins?
Hello! Do you know some company looking for a seamstress? I am interested to apply.
Trim can hide just about anything. I tend to charge far more for an untrimmed gown because I meticulously hand stitch the neckline. If it’s gonna be trimmed I whip it up real quick on the machine!
Trouble shooting for an hour...I put the needle in backwards
What thread do you use for sewing cotton?
