My mum bought a Bernina sewing machine in the60’s and is still working
So nice to see someone who understands technique. If you don’t mind a critique it’s really old school technique to press seams and darts flat before pressing open. It makes the fabric relax. It was a revelation when I learned it from some videos in the 80s.
Literally my whole UA-cam is sewing, I love it!
I adore your accent. And the care and patience you put into your projects!
Thank you so much!
You set in sleeves like my Grandma taught me, and in well made patterns, I’ve never had any trouble setting sleeves. I’ve figured fussy fitting in sleeves the first go is better than repeated rounds of sleeve nightmares.
Beautiful
Wow, I have the exact same pattern. My problem is that the dress is not in my size, and I'm a guy, and generally don't wear dresses 😊 (Not in the wife's size either).
I guess we will have to find someone who needs a 34" bust sized 1950's dress, so I can have a go at sewing this dress. Your bodice has come together really well, can't wait to see the finished dress.
I just have to say, your voice is so soothing. I can listen to you talk all day!
Thanks very much!
I used to sew all of my nightgowns as I was pretty tall. I also love dresses. I’m going to start sewing these things again. The clothing options are hideous here in the Midwest of the US. It’s all for large square people. What has happened ! I think we need the classy back. Thank you so much.
That fabric goes very well with the style.
very very good this video. seeing an understanding the difficulties of vintage patterns
Beautiful sewing and tutorial.
I love how meticulous you are. Lovely!
Thanks so much 😊
Of course I love the pattern and the fabric you've chosen; because I wore pretty dresses like this one during the 1950s. And, you selected the perfect music for a great walk through history... sounds like John Lee Hooker on Guitar... Perfect!
Very neat and workmanlike! I think the collar method is the same one that was recommended back in the TWENTIES. It sure is a chore, but the results are lovely. ☺
You have some really great tips for sewing. Beautiful jib in the dress❤
Beautiful fabric choice. Thank you for sharing ❤
First video of yours watched and i love the cosy, calm feel! Cant wait for the next part
This is so beautifully done! Can’t wait to see how it all turns out
Really loving your videos, thank you so much for making them.
Beautiful work! Can't wait for part 2!
Beautiful job
So that's how those pointy wheel things are used?!
I scared my cat with the noise I made.
Not only does it explain what those things are for, but how to deal with marking white fabric.
Hoorah!
Hehe! I'm so glad I could help but am sorry to have given your cat a fright 😁
I like your vedio ..old dress in 1950..i like as a sewer also
Thank you ☺️
Love the fabric!
FYI, as an older person, I’m here to tell you that the ‘80’s were the new ‘50’s. 😁
Would you please tell me, how many yards of fabric did you use to make the dress? I am thinking of buying a vintage pattern but I can't find where it says how much yards of fabric I will need
That would depend on the width of the fabric. The yardage is usually given on the back of the pattern envelope, but fabrics were much narrower in the past. This pattern called for 5 yards of fabric but as my modern fabric was much wider I have just over a yard leftover.
DUCKS okay I approve this channel
Just curious, what is "government sanctioned daily exercise"?
I use tailor's tacking. Why do you make two loops?
hi, I don't know if this happening but, I was told to be careful with vintage pattern has soemyime the sizes they use aren't the same sizes we did, like vintage pattern size are different from the same size nowday
Baha! 2:11 😆
Curious where you order from for non-fusible interface? I've avoided patterns with interfacing so far because I don't want to use the fusible stuff.
I've previously bought the 'traditional' interfacing from Minerva. I've still got some in stash so haven't bought it in a while so I hope they still sell it! If not it's essentially a lightweight calico, or muslin. So long as you prewash it first it should behave the same way. In fact that might work out cheaper in the long run!
Why do you tie the ends of your dart threads rather then backtack?
The back tacking can create a little lump if you don't get the stitches exactly on top of one and other. Then when you go to press the dart it's much harder to get a crisp point with no puckers. It's a little thing but it makes a big difference 😊
I read , in the 50s the material was not elastic and therefore you had to knot the ends of the yarn during sewing. today with most elastic material it would be better to make back-stitches.
Where u buy a fabrics??? Thanks for sharing ❣️
It's from H&F fabrics on Western Road, Brighton. There is a link in the description to their website but I think it is a bricks and mortar shop only!
@@RetroClaude Hi, no, it does have a website, though that doesn’t offer much in the way of fabric: haberdasheryandfabric.co.uk/
I live near Brighton, so will go and check it out soon :-)

What the heck is "daily government section exercise" 🤔 maybe I wrote what she said wrong but I listen to the same part like 3 times...
Hi! I said government sanctioned exercise. This was filmed while we were in lockdown in the UK. You were allowed to go out for exercise once a day for no more than an hour. I wanted to make clear in the video that I was obeying the government's restrictions. Hence, government sanctioned exercise.
