I was rewatching this video while working on my latest project and I thought I'd try your no pin zipper method, and OMG, GameChanger! It's the most beautiful and perfect zipper I've ever done. Than you 🙃
Love your dress. I have some fun funky fabric and this pattern is perfect for it. I now have to find a copy in my size. But for now I ame working on a Vogue Couturier from 68. My daughter is getting married and I need a new dress for the wedding.
That sounds like a fun project, and yeah it is pretty rare I see something pattern wise I feel like I have to have but this one was just so cute (and comfy!)
So fun and interesting! Beautiful print, pattern & sewing. Amazingly it never occurred to me to sew down the first fold before folding it up in the hem yet I always worried about it curling inside. In not being overtly didactic, I think you provide great friend-like casual key tips and demonstrations - thanks!
Such a cute dress, i always love the fabric you use for projects. I also appreciate your explaining every step so well i am getting back to sewing now my anxiety has eased and I’ve been taking mental notes of all your tips and tricks xx
Lovely dress and video. Well done. _Quick Question_ - Did you iron the interfacing to the inside front of the dress? I've been ironing the interfacing to the facing? The only way I survive zippers is to hand baste them into place first before I go anywhere near the machine. - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi
So I did the interface to the dress itself, that is how most vintage patterns instructions say to do it, I do have a few patterns that have you put it on the facing so I think it doesn't hugely matter which?
If you use iron-on interfacing, the piece that gets interfaced will have a crisper edge when pressed, but you run some risk of the glue bubbling and looking weird depending on your care choices. I saw another UA-camr (maybe Bianca over at TheClosetHistorian?) saying they always attach interfacing to the outer piece, not the lining, so they can get nicer pressing. Bonus pro tip if you are interfacing the facing: If you fuse a chunk of interfacing to a chunk of fabric before cutting out the pattern piece, it's much easier to cut!
@@HaleyMarieVintage Aah no worries, you are 'seeeeew' welcome. You make such wonderful videos & your creations are just fantastic. Not forgetting Spooky, who is always adorable. x

Glad it worked for you too! I feel like the way people do zippers varies and you just have to find what works for you!
Watching you sew is so relaxing 💕💕 the dress is beautiful
YUP!!! ... & the breakdown of it all is extra spesh!!
That is a very cute dress!
I felt the same way about sleeves in the 70s. It is a signature look, but not one I love--especially the feel of them.
Yeah, it is such a unique period too, like I feel like there was only a few years it was in and then it hasn't come back around

Thanks so much! And glad my tips are helpful!
Omg, vintage sewing, flower arranging, and Sims?! We are literally twins 😂.
Lol I think it is really funny how many seamstresses/vintage fashion folks and people who love sims overlap!
I am hoping to get to my kaftans soon! I just love the vibrant fun fabrics!
I hope you make them soon!

I can't wait to see what you're up to!
I love the dress it is fabulous 🥰 x
It is super cute and w/some sass!!
This fabric is so beautiful I want to just stare at it
I know, it is really so cool!
Grey thread will fade into most colors. You just have to chose between a warm vs cool tone.
That is really smart and makes sense!
Lovely dress and video. Well done.
