AAAAAH IT IS DONE and it is FABULOUS 🤩
-
You are the sexiest potato to ever potate. 😍
-
This wasn't the clearest tutorial... When shoving the garment into the back of the closet do you ball it up? Do you fold it neatly and forget about it? Or is vacuum sealing the best option? I've reached this step on 6 of my projects and want to make sure I'm doing it right.
-
Imagine making a mistake on your dress by making the cuffs lopsided and then 500 years later some crafty badass does it on purpose just to be like you
-
I like the descriptive "decorative fullness." I have been eating a lot this pandemic, so I'm building my own "decorative fullness."
-
Also, your sponsorship Morgan is a delight. We giggled so hard at that.
-
Imagine, some poor medieval seamstress ran short on fabric or made a mistake cutting her sleeve lengths and now everyone down thru the end of time will think that uneven cuffs were all the rage back then 😂
-
I mean technically any dress can be made into a 500 year old dress with enough time
-
Is it just me or is Morgan looking extra pretty in this video?? Like that red dress and her hair,,, im in love
-
Every, literally every historical dressmaker: Step 1: Buys book on historical garment making. Step 1.5: Buys second book to fill in the gaps of the first book. Another wonderful video Morgan!
-
Dear Skill Share: Hire Morgan as a instructor.

I AM SO HYPE!!!! Sneeze dress FTW! And one less UFO!! 💖💖💖 You are a beautiful potato!!
-
Oh my goodness, this was such a cool exploration in historical dress making. As a teacher, I greatly approve. It was so fun to see you use and learn new techniques that were really clever. I am so in love with the braid trimming the neckline, pockets and cuffs...so pretty.
-
Morgan Donner: Herjolfsnes Gown Me: Whatever it is, I need it.
-
heh. heh heh. "threadcrumbs" Also, I am obsessed with how the fingerloop braid looks as a trim. It's so subtle, and it's perfection.
-
Im dying over the dress you're wearing in this. Also the braided pockets.
-
*glances at sewing bookshelf at book I literally bought because of this project like a year ago Sponsorship Morgan under the table is hysterical by the way ^-^
-
Next adventure: Dying the Tayto™️ dress with period accurate dye options to make it RED ♥️
-
Me: is goth, wardrobe is 90% black and 8% red Also me: I need a white woolen winter dress immediately Also, over one year to complete this project, yikes! Scary, but also encouraging, that me taking two months on and off to finish Bernadette's pirate shirt as a total noob isn't too bad, lol 😆 As fun as sewing is, and as great as it's turning out to be, I just want to get this finished, aaaaaaaaa
