• 3:08Holly Frey?

  Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History Class, a production of iHeart Radio.

• 3:19Holly Frey?

  Happy Friday, everybody. I'm Holly Frey.

• 3:21Tracy V. Wilson?

  I'm Tracy B. Wilson.

• 3:23Holly Frey?

  We're laughing because apparently I'm on another planet today. Like, I'm just, my timing of things is weird. I'm having a, having a moment, I don't know what to tell.

• 3:31Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah, we're just, we're, we're recording in the afternoon, which is not typical. Uh, I, I'm just back from some time off during which I forgot how to do anything involving my job. And I also have a newly issued work computer, which has thrown everything off.

• 3:49Holly Frey?

  Listen, I'm also just excited and wiggly because we have behind the scenes where we get to talk about one of my favorite things, which is patterns and sewing. Yeah.

• 3:56Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 3:57Holly Frey?

  Um, I'm in the middle of a giant sewing project right now. I'm making a wedding dress for a friend. So I'm like sewing all the time when I'm not doing my job. And that just makes me want to talk about sewing all the time. Uh, we've talked about so much stuff in this episode.

• 4:11Tracy V. Wilson?

  It was a lot.

• 4:12Holly Frey?

  I have, um, so many things to comment on. Have you, you mentioned, I think it was while we were recording, your mom having various tools.

• 4:22Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 4:22Holly Frey?

  To do scaling up of patterns. Have you ever done it?

• 4:26Tracy V. Wilson?

  I have not.

• 4:27Holly Frey?

  Whoa, it's a pain in the tuchus.

• 4:28Tracy V. Wilson?

  Um, it seemed like it would be.

• 4:32Holly Frey?

  I don't like it.

• 4:33Tracy V. Wilson?

  So. Uh, my mom taught me to sew, taught me to sew with patterns. So I learned the things like figuring out what size you are and, you know, how to, how to cut out that size from the pattern. And in, we always saved the pattern for future use. So I probably could have, like, if I was trying to make something from a pattern I had used before, but I had gone up a size, I might have been able with my mom's help to like, work that out. But the, like, the, the idea of, you know, starting from a sort of template and turning that into a thing that needed to be sized up for a person,

• 5:19Tracy V. Wilson?

  that would have relied on some skills that I struggle with.

• 5:24Tracy V. Wilson?

  Uh, and I never got that far. I don't know that I would have needed to get that far in my sewing education, but I did not.

• 5:30Holly Frey?

  Yeah. I remember once getting into a long and protracted argument on a sewing and costuming message board. That's how far back we're going, that I ran with someone. Cause I had, had mentioned, I had made a garment for Brian, a historical, like a Victorian coat. And I was like, hey, this is like an easily gettable pattern, like. And this one person was just adamant that I should not be recommending people use modern patterns. I should only be recommending that they hand draft from existing pattern. And I was like, okay, cool. Yes, that's more accurate, but like, that is something that not everybody has the skill or interest in doing. And they were like, anyone can do it. You just have to learn it.

• 6:13Holly Frey?

  And I'm like, anyone can, but not everybody wants to like. And it just went on and on for like a month of back and forth. I should have just tapped out earlier, but it was making me crazy. Anyway.

• 6:24Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 6:24Holly Frey?

  Scaling up patterns is a big pain in the tuchus. And I will say this, this relates to the koalas, uh, which are an ongoing process, right? Um, I have made one of the koalas. I have the fabric for the others and haven't gotten to them yet because of this wedding dress progress.

• 6:39Tracy V. Wilson?

  If you're like, what are these koalas? Because you haven't listened to all of the episodes recently.

• 6:43Holly Frey?

  Yeah. This is a pattern that existed in a magazine from my youth.

• 6:48Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yes.

• 6:49Holly Frey?

  That I wanted to make of these plush Christmas koalas and their clothes. And I was obsessed. And then I couldn't. I didn't ever find the patterning. And my mom said they were a little too complex for me, but I yearned for them. And when she died, I went through all her stuff, like all her sewing stuff, trying to find it. And I couldn't find it. And then I magically found it eventually, thanks to an Etsy seller who had scanned in all the pages of this magazine and also had, like, tagged them all. So like, Christmas koalas popped it up. Anyway. Yeah. So if you didn't hear that earlier episode, now you're caught up on the koalas. The koalas are ongoing. I'm, I have not posted an update lately, but I'm posting them on Instagram

• 7:30Holly Frey?

  because they're so fun. But one of the things that really tickled me about it was that I benefited from the years that have gone by, the like, 40 years since when that magazine was published, because now I can just pop those pattern scans into Photoshop or another editing thing, blow them up to the right size. Oh, yeah. Print them right out. Granted, that's for like a plush thing, not a full-size garment, but you could also do it for a full-size garment. You would just have to tape your print pieces together or take them to a specialty printer. But Yeah, yeah. That is an avenue that is now available for people that want to do things that were drafted and printed long ago. Yeah. One of the things that was really awful back in the old days, and I have dealt with some of

• 8:14Holly Frey?

  these, is that to save on paper and page numbers, sometimes you would get these in a book and multiple pattern pieces would be overlaid over each other. And you would have to figure out which line went to which one and like, draft it from. My head hurts thinking about that. It was awful. It was awful. I did a couple and I was like, phew, this is rough. This is rough stuff. There's a really funny, it tickled me, it may tickle no one else. We talked about the Queen and Lapsie tailoring book and how they would, you know, go on and

• 8:54Holly Frey?

  on about their thoughts on various garments. But one of the things that tickled me was that they had this one section that was just on breeches. They're gay. And it just started with. Some practical observations on the theory and practice of making breeches. This delicate and necessary appendage to dress requires more common than the trade would perhaps really imagine, chiefly owing to the great variety of materials of which they are composed according to the choice and approbation of various customers and that they may suit the purpose. Basically, they're like, we know you don't want to talk about underwear, but we really have to. I just love that. I thought it was the funniest thing ever.

• 9:38Tracy V. Wilson?

  I like how this passage clearly had the long S's that look like F's, which always makes it more funny to me.

• 9:45Holly Frey?

  Yes.

• 9:46Tracy V. Wilson?

  And I also am just thinking about how my grandma would have called that breeches.

• 9:52Holly Frey?

  Yeah, many people would.

• 9:53Tracy V. Wilson?

  I still sometimes say breeches, so yeah.

• 9:56Holly Frey?

  Yeah. And those get into like different, right? The terminology shifts a little bit because for a long time that would have been underwear. But also they get used, that gets used for pants nowadays.

• 10:11Tracy V. Wilson?

  I would think of breeches as pants nowadays for the most part.

• 10:14Holly Frey?

  You don't have your breeches on. What are you doing? Can't leave the house? You've got no breeches on. I feel you, but I just thought that was a hoot. Listen, you can still find great underwear patterns, by the way. Love them. Love them because that's a great way to burn through fabric overages and your scraps.

• 10:32Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 10:33Holly Frey?

  I have a 1940s little undies pattern that I make all the time. One of the cool things that that has happened in terms of preservation is that because most of these patterns that were printed on it at full size from the beginning were printed using acid-free tissue paper is that they haven't broken down.

• 10:56Tracy V. Wilson?

  Oh, nice.

• 10:57Holly Frey?

  So there are quite a few that exist in like repositories and museums and whatnot. I wouldn't. Unfold them and use them. Sure. But they're there and they have been preserved in various ways, which is kind of nice because we get a really clear view of some of it. Have you ever heard of, or did you ever encounter when you were sewing? The Butterick walkaway dress? I don't think so. I love this dress. Here's why. There's a cool factoid, which is that in 1952, this dress pattern was so popular that Butterick shut down production of all of its other patterns and was running only this

• 11:39Holly Frey?

  pattern on its presses until they could get all of the back orders fulfilled that they had because there were so many people that wanted to make this dress. And the reason why is that it's the simplest dress on earth. There are only three pattern pieces to it. The front looks kind of like the front of like a, a, a column dress, like a slightly tailored columnar dress, right? Like a straight up and down, straight skirt, very simple, some darts to create the, the bust seeming and whatnot. But then the back has the second pattern piece, which is the top of the back, like the back bodice. And then the lower piece, which is a very fluffy skirt, and it's wide enough that it wraps around the front

• 12:22Holly Frey?

  and it usually buttons right there at the front at the waist. And so it creates with only that one closure, a dress that's super easy to make, super easy to put on. I've known a lot of people that do retro stuff that still make these and they'll do them reversible so you can pack for an event and you have two dresses in one. Nice. This pattern has been reissued many times. You can buy it now. It's readily available.

• 12:48Holly Frey?

  May, maybe if you're going to order it directly from the website, do that now because I don't know how long that's going to be around. I've definitely for sure seen this pattern package. You have. I guarantee. Yeah, I just Googled it. Yeah. Definitely for sure. But I don't think I've made it. Yeah. It's a goodie. If you're me and you're a bit hippie and you decide to make it, you want to extend that front piece a little bit wider because it kind of wraps around your, your front hip and usually ties or some people do like an elastic, like a button in elastic at the back. But like for me, if I just make it as sewn, I tend to have gaps at the side because my hips are wide, but you can always alter it. And then, once you have your pattern down, you can just churn out like multiples, like a uniform.

• 13:33Holly Frey?

  That was why that one quote about why not just cut out six or 12 shirts at a time? It's really easier. I'm like, yes, it is. That's how I survived in like my twenties in terms of having clothes. And even in college, it'd be like, I'm making a dress. Yeah. I'm gonna make three of this dress because I don't want to mess with pulling patterns out over and over. I would just lay out layers and layers of fabric at a time and cut everything at once the best.

• 15:30Speaker 05

  First thought is like, wow, how are we going to do all this?

• 15:32Tracy V. Wilson?

  Hey, everybody. It's Tracy from Stuff You Missed in History Class. That's Alan Goya, a planning engineer at AT&T. He's talking about Intuit Dome, home of the Los Angeles Clippers, where every seat, screen, phone, and transaction is connected with AT&T fiber and 5G, defining the fan's experience. And Alan's master plan made it all possible.

• 15:53Speaker 05

  It was going to rival anything that was already built. And that takes quite a bit of people and different teams to all be on the same page.

• 16:01Tracy V. Wilson?

  That includes field services manager Drexel Jones. His team made sure it all came together and held up on game day.

• 16:07Speaker 00

  Through what Alan's whole crew designed, we connected the event visitors to the world.

• 16:13Tracy V. Wilson?

  And after years of hard work and collaboration, it was opening night.

• 16:17Speaker 00

  To actually see the whole stadium light up and data is flowing is a beautiful thing.

• 16:21Speaker 05

  What the fans experience is incredible. It gave me a lot of pride.

• 16:24Tracy V. Wilson?

  AT&T, connecting fans to what they love. Connecting changes everything. AT&T.

• 17:36Speaker 06

  Okay, chicken nugget fans, I've got huge news. The new Burger King Chicken Nuggets just dropped, and they are the crispiest, the juiciest, and the tastiest chicken nuggets ever at Burger King. Burger King heard that a lot of you didn't like the old chicken nuggets, so they got to work and reinvented them. To go along with the new chicken nuggets, a lot of the sauces were reinvented too, because better chicken nuggets deserve better sauces. We're talking new buffalo sauce, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and even a whole new option too, the new special savory sauce, which is only available for a limited time at participating US restaurants. I mean, you need to taste it all for yourself. This new chicken nugget, reinvented,

• 18:21Speaker 06

  based on real feedback, is made with 100% white meat chicken and is now better than ever. You gotta try the new Burger King Chicken Nuggets and sauces today.

• 18:37Holly Frey?

  Here's another fun factoid that I ran across. Ray Bradbury used to write for McCall's magazine.

• 18:46Holly Frey?

  I love that. Because the magazine would include, in addition to things about clothes, it would include fiction pieces as well. Yeah. Eleanor Roosevelt wrote for McCall's for a long time. Super duper interesting. There was also a mention in an obituary for Joseph Shapiro, who founded Simplicity, that he had a sign that he kept on his desk, which tickled me. And that sign read, "Fools invent fashions, wise men follow them." And I'm like, I wish I could travel back in time and ask him what he thinks that's actually saying, because is he like basically saying, "I did this smarter because I wasn't trying to reinvent anything. I was trying to make it more easily accessible for people."

• 19:31Holly Frey?

  Like, are you saying that wise men follow the fools or they follow the fashions? I'm not sure. Yeah, the same mental question. Yeah, I have many questions. I love it. I will say, for any of our listeners that are stitchers or sewists, or however they choose to identify, that are chagrined about the possible...

• 19:50Holly Frey?

  End of, or even if they continue, I imagine there will be big changes of the big main commercial pattern companies. There is a world now of independent pattern companies that are, many of which are fantastic. There are ones that specialize in retro patterns. There are ones that specialize in like, really, really like, simple shape, easy to make knits. There are ones that specialize in almost anything you could want. So if you haven't ever ventured into that world, I would, you know, take a look around because there's some pretty good stuff out there. Now we have to talk about the elephant in the room.

• 20:29Tracy V. Wilson?

  Which is what?

• 20:30Holly Frey?

  Berta Patterns.

• 20:31Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 20:32Holly Frey?

  I mean, I don't wanna.

• 20:34Tracy V. Wilson?

  Okay.

• 20:34Holly Frey?

  There's some Nazi problems.

• 20:36Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 20:37Holly Frey?

  Yeah. Um, the founder of Berta Patterns got involved with the Nazi Party. And when you re- and I, one, it's a, it's a different game than this. It was, you know, going on in Germany. But two, I didn't find a satisfactory examination of that situation.

• 20:58Tracy V. Wilson?

  Okay.

• 20:58Holly Frey?

  Because the few attempts at biography are all very, well, like, he didn't believe in it. It was just good for business. It was the way to make his business continue and survive. And I'm like, keep thinking about that quote of like, if there are 10 people at a dinner table and one of them is a Nazi, they're all essentially Nazis because that's poison. And if you're not calling it out, you're letting it happen. So I, I just was like, I'm not even gonna get into this. It's a whole big, there could be a day in the future. I don't know how far along that we would talk about that whole thing. If I can find more examination.

• 21:35Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 21:36Holly Frey?

  Of it.

• 21:36Tracy V. Wilson?

  More interrogation of all that.

• 21:38Holly Frey?

  Yeah, that isn't so like, hmm, he's just trying to get by. And I'm like, um, hmm, hmm, hmm, you were, you were in the Nazi military. And it wasn't like he was 17 and was conscripted. He was, he was a businessman at that point. I don't know what his lived experience was. I haven't done enough research, but also I'm like, ooh, it's making me really uncomfortable. So that's what's up with that. Anyway, sewing, sewing, all the time sewing.

• 22:10Holly Frey?

  I love it. I love it. I like it. It's very, this is actually a funny thing because people throughout my life, because I have always sewn. I started sewing when I was three. So I don't remember how to not sew.

• 22:25Holly Frey?

  But people always assume that if you sew, you love sewing. Like we, the joke among anybody, and I'm sure you've run into this, is that like now there are a lot of shirts that say, no, I won't hem your pants.

• 22:36Tracy V. Wilson?

  Okay.

• 22:37Holly Frey?

  People think that if you sew, you just love to sew. You want to put anything under a needle and stitch it. And it's like, no.

• 22:44Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 22:45Holly Frey?

  And I always tell people, it's not so much that I love to sew, it's that I love having clothes and a lot of them.

• 22:53Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 22:53Holly Frey?

  And clothes that are unique.

• 22:56Tracy V. Wilson?

  I do often enjoy sewing and making things. But I have also had some sewing disasters that were like so upsetting and so frustrating that I can't put it all into the category of, I love this, you know?

• 23:13Holly Frey?

  Yeah.

• 23:14Tracy V. Wilson?

  And it's also something that I have not done with any kind of regularity in a long time, in part because I live in New England and, and we don't have a lot of space.

• 23:24Holly Frey?

  Yeah. Yeah, I've definitely had some disasters and I love doing creative stuff, but I definitely see sewing as a means to an end, right? I want a porg that is tropical colors. Well, nobody's gonna make that. I gotta make them myself.

• 23:41Tracy V. Wilson?

  Sure, sure.

• 23:43Holly Frey?

  I want, you know, a crazy looking dress that has droids all over it, that is

• 23:49Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 23:49Holly Frey?

  kind of a ball gown. Nope, nobody's gonna make that. I have to make it myself.

• 23:53Tracy V. Wilson?

  Um, I also think my relationship with this has been affected by the fact that like, I, like, I learned to sew in elementary school ages and I was in 4H and I was in brownies and we did all of these things that involved sewing and quote handicrafts. And as I got to an age where other kids didn't think that was cool, I cared a lot about what other people thought of me.

• 24:18Holly Frey?

  Yeah.

• 24:19Tracy V. Wilson?

  No matter how much I tried not to care about what other people thought of me, I really did care. And I like, I got to an age that I was being bullied for wearing clothes that I had made myself to school. And that hampered my desire to continue doing it.

• 24:37Holly Frey?

  Yeah, I could see that for sure.

• 24:39Tracy V. Wilson?

  And this is something that like I, the fact that you did not care when anybody thought of you ever is something I have always admired about you because that is a skill that I have never developed for myself.

• 24:50Holly Frey?

  I did at some point, but then I, I think I've said on the show, I remember the exact day that I stopped caring.

• 24:57Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 24:57Holly Frey?

  Where I just was like, I won't say the phrase that I like to say because it has bad words in it, but I just was like,

• 25:03Tracy V. Wilson?

  Sure.

• 25:04Holly Frey?

  I don't trust these people's taste. What am I worried about? But I did kind of a flip of what you just described where when I was young, when I was younger and my mom made a lot of my clothes, I hit a moment where I was like, please stop making my clothes. Like other kids comment on it.

• 25:20Tracy V. Wilson?

  Right.

• 25:20Holly Frey?

  And then by the time I was like 13, 14, I was like, I'm making all my clothes and I loved wearing my weird stuff. So.

• 25:28Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 25:29Holly Frey?

  I, I just hit a different moment.

• 25:31Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 25:31Holly Frey?

  And I still love making all my weird stuff.

• 25:34Tracy V. Wilson?

  Yeah.

• 25:37Holly Frey?

  Now we're in the dangerous zone where you can, you know, design your own fabric and have it printed and make your weird clothes out of that. And it's brilliant. I love it. I love it to pieces. It's the best. It's the absolute best. Yeah. I just love sewing. If this is your weekend coming up, I could tell you what I'll be doing and it's sewing because I gotta finish this project. But if you, whether you're sewing or not, um, I hope if you have time off, that you get time to do whatever it is that you like, or that makes you feel peaceful or fulfills your creative urges. If you don't have time off, maybe you can sneak some of that kind of stuff in. Listen, it's also perfectly cool. If you just want to sit on the couch and watch TV all weekend, I'm not going to judge. Those are great weekends sometimes. If you are out in the world, I hope everyone you encounter is kind to you

  Snoring, gasping for air during sleep, daytime sleepiness? I'm Shaquille O'Neal, and this shouldn't be anybody's experience. Ask your doctor about Zepbound Trisepotide, the first and only FDA-approved prescription medicine for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity.

• 27:06Speaker 02

  Zepbound is a prescription medicine used with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity to help adults with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, OSA, and obesity to improve their OSA. Zepbound is approved as a 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, or 15-milligram injection. Zepbound contains trisepotide and should not be used with other trisepotide-containing products or any GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines. It is not known if Zepbound is safe and effective for use in children. Don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. Don't take if allergic to it, or if you or someone in your family had medullary thyroid cancer, or if you've had multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. Stop Zepbound and call your doctor if you have severe stomach pain or a serious allergic reaction.

  Severe side effects may include inflamed pancreas or gallbladder problems. Tell your doctor if you experience vision changes before scheduled procedures with anesthesia, if you're nursing, pregnant, plan to be, or taking birth control pills. Taking Zepbound with a sulphonal urea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting, which can cause dehydration and worsen kidney problems.
