Nicole makes Victorian Female Aziraphale, Bernadette makes Victorian Female Crowley.
-
I need a Victorian lady heist crossover series with this Bernadette, Karolina’s Miss Tatternickle, and Nicole’s Aziraphale.
-
Not Bernadette at 7:56 just casually showing off a perfectly pattern matched seam like it's no big deal <3
-
The sound of scissors cutting fabric makes me feel like I'm standing next to my mother watching her make my clothes. It instantly brings her back, more than the smell of her perfume.
-
My father was a Master Tailor 65 years in the business. In those days you apprenticed first so he started while in his teens. He always wanted one of his daughters to take up the profession… sadly we didn’t… my dad would have loved your videos Bernadette. I loved the tailoring series you reminded me of my beautiful pops custom suits. Thank you dear lady.
-
This could so easily be the historically accurate Crowley to Nicole's historically accurate Aziraphale! Love it!
-
I know Bernadette has a complicated relationship with her sewing machine, but just a tip for anyone else who might be reading this: If your sewing machine needle plate does not have seam allowance markings or does not have the particular marking that you need for a particular project, just measure the distance from the needle and put a piece of masking tape or painters tape. I do this all the time as the machine I use at work has markings only up to 1.25”. Just take the tape off immediately after you sew and put a new piece next time, or the tape can be hard to remove or even cause damage to the machine.

I really doubt you will see this. But thank you for the captions. I appreciate the time you put into them. They are obviously not auto generated (as with most videos) and I am very grateful for the extra little step you took to make everyone included ❤
-
Has anyone else noticed this SIGNIFICANT change in Bernadettes confidence? Lately shes been on fire 🔥 i love the energy
-
Now we need Bernadette to star as the lead gangster in a show set in Victorian England 🤩
-
Those huge puffy sleeves are kind of the victorian version of the 1980s power dressing padded shoulders aren't they? Magnificent 🎉
-
She’s really killing it in those sunglasses and outfit. No one rocks it like she does.
-
Well I think we can safely say that Bernadette has now mastered tailoring 👏🏼
-
Who else has no idea what she's doing/will never make their own clothes but loves watching her magically take cloth and make gorgeous clothes 😍😍😍 Like dam I wish we still wore clothes like this 😅😅
-
Omg that reveal was so gloriously extra that I can't even!!!!! First Nicole's Aziraphale, now Bernadette's Crowley… 😍
-
Oh how I've missed these ❤️ Now we definitely need a miniseries where Bernadette takes over the Victorian London Underworld.
-
The jacket with the SLEEVES is that finally magical component to the look to create that top tear BOSS goodness. I need a series about the adventure of this bad ass Victorian lady mobster secretly taking over the London underworld.
-
I love the conjunction of science/geometry, skill, and art in Bernadette's video today. And I never get tired of the delicious crunch of her beautiful scissors in fabric.
-
this give me a mix between Missy from Doctor Who and a Victorian female Crowley. I love it
