Let's Make Some Hobbit Clothes! (sewing two vests for those 🍁Autumn vibes🍁)

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! Ever since I made my 18th century stays, I wanted to make more wearable stays/vests sort of items for every day wear. I had already used the Simplicity 8162 pattern (the 18th century stays pattern inspired by Outlander and made by American Duchess) for a pair of stays ages ago and I liked that they were comfortable and cute, while still giving that 18th century vibe. I altered it a fair bit by making it up to my size and adding slack so it could lace nearly closed without much pressure, and by removing the tabs at the bottom. For the other best, I used the Butterick B4669 pattern (which I think has been a staple of ren fair looks for ages haha and that was exactly the vibes I wanted). I used view A and sized it up to my size as I ordered the wrong size range. I also altered it a bit so that the gap at the front was smaller, so I found it more wearable and less jarring to modern eyes. I also added a line of machine embroidery at the neckline and the bottom edge just for a cute detail. Both of these vests fit really well, are very comfortable, and are spot on for the #hobbitstyle and #cottagecore aesthetic I was going for. I would say they are also relatively easy to tackle, if you've only just started sewing but would like some cute items in your wardrobe :) -- THINGS MENTIONED -- Simplicity 8162 Pattern https://amzn.to/39ZyIEv Butterick B4669 Pattern https://amzn.to/2Yd7QxU 18th Century Stays video https://youtu.be/5lbRfnrEnNA --
