What is your favorite decade for vintage fashion?
My favorite decade is from 1940/1949 (my mother was born in 1941 and I was born in 1968)
My grandmother live in that time and she told me how women dressed, very feminine and elegant.
1940s although I do stray into other decades 🤗
I love 1910s, but I'm branching out to the 20s-50s so I can wear them in real life.
1960/1970 and 1920/1930
That dress looks lovely on you!
Thank you 😊
Great fabric choice!
Thank you! 😊
I have several antique and vintage singers, treadle and electric. I love my singer 201. It sews a dream. Apparently rolls Royce used to use them for their upholstery
Beautiful dress.
Greetings! from ARGENTINA.

Hello!
I really loved this video and I Will continue watching the other videos, because I liked the simple and enjoyable way You explain and everything seems so easy to do.
Thank you, very much!
The dress turned out beautiful! The fit is much more relaxed than I thought it would be. The vintage styles were so much more beautiful and feminine than modern ones.
Thank you! Yes, I agree completely 🌷
I like the 1940’s through the 70’s. Also the Edwardian era.
Very nice dress presentation. Love the calm music. My blood pressure dropped 10 points watching your video. The color is beautiful. Post more sew alongs.
Oh, I'm so glad! Welcome to my channel!
Very good video. Good explained, without any drama. It turned put out simple but very elegant. 🌹
Thank you so much 😊
The Japanese mid century sewing machines were fantastic. They were built like tanks and should be easy enough to get one at a good price.
Thank you for the information 😊
I love how your dress turned out. I love the music, found it very relaxing with your calm voice 🙃🙂
Thank you so much!
😍
Beautiful, you did a great job !
Thank you so much!
I have a 1960 simplicity button down. Pattern 4056. I was hoping you could tell me what the ease might be? Also do you know what sewing bust they are sized to? I am assuming a B. Thanks.
I'm not sure without seeing the pattern, but in my search for vintage patterns, the 1960s patterns I've seen all the way up to a size 23 1/2 and maybe higher. I usually wear a size 20 with a 42 inch bust, size 22 is usually 44 inches for the bust in the 1960s patterns and it goes up from there. The good news though is that the style is more boxy so you could try a mock up (practice blouse) to find out if what you have will work. I have upsized patterns before though it can be a bit tricky. Anyway, I hope that helped.
Also, according to the vintage sewing books I've read it's important to choose the pattern based on your bust size for the best fit when it comes to dresses and blouses. Whenever I do that, I don't seem to have an over abundance of ease, but I've heard that modern patterns often can and maybe that is why they often list ease directly on the pattern package.
I love your music!
Thank you so much 😊
I like patterns from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. I like the details in the patterns. I am currently working on Vogue 7174 from 1999. Next, 😊month I will start Simplicity 8747, which is a reproduction pattern from the 1950s.
Me too! That sounds like fun! 🥰
It looks fantastic. I like a variety of different decades. Lately, I've been sewing mid-1960s. It reminds me of the 1940s because it's a return to a-line shapes.
Yes, the 1960s patterns are really fun!
So beautifull: the
women and her work.
I prefer a three quarter sleeve too. There is something quite elegant about them that I've always loved. Well done on the dress. Beautifully done!
Thank you! 😊
Love this!!! I have the same pattern and have been too scared to start!! This was so helpful!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Have fun making yours!
You should make a tea cosy to keep the teapot warm. Did you have milk in your teapot? That’s unusual. I think lady great and earl grey are usually made without milk and milk not usually put in teapot, funny how different countries do things differently. I love 1940s fashion but have never made something from the era
A tea cosy...that's a great idea! Yes, I like just a splash of milk so sometimes I just put it in the pot from the beginning.Haha..I'm sure it's not the "correct" way, but it works for me.
I love Earl Grey with milk and the tiniest dash of lavender syrup
So pretty! The fabric drapes nicely and the color! 🌻🍄
Thank you! 😊
Very beautiful.
I made this exact pattern. first with some success, the second with out, but it is still a nice pattern.
I also found it the be pretty long waisted.
It is a nice pattern, but I really wonder how it would compare to the original.
Yes, I agree! Fortunately, I am long waisted, but it could need more alteration for others.
You have a nice voice but the music distracts me from following you.
Oh, okay. Thanks for letting me know. I'll try to fix that.
