- In this video I show you how to make a vintage skirt bigger. This skirt is from the 1950's and has a huge sweep, allowing me to open up the skirt from a 23.5" waist to a 35.5" waist.

I love Stephanie’s vlogs. I have been sewing for decades and can still make crazy mistakes. I will fuss over cutting everything precisely on grain and then not notice that I sewed a section on backwards or some other such mistake that I feel even a first time sewer would never do.
Right! We think we have it and then look again...
That is something that is so simple! Using a different colour on the inside of a waist band! I think I will be doing that from now on!
I am so glad to help!
I enjoyed that very much and it kept me laughing and kept my mind off my 70-year-old husband climbing up a ladder and going into the "attic" space for another project that he still thinks he is 30 years old that he can do.
Oh my goodness! Well I am glad to provide some levity in stressful and "project filled" situations
I loved this video! I appreciate seeing that I'm not the only one who messes tiny things up every once in a while and I appreciate learning new ways to mitigate the little issues. Glad Liz Von Villas suggested you!
Thank you so much! Oh I love Liz’s videos as well.
Love the new haircut 🥰💐
Such a cool idea with the waistband. I wouldn't have thought of that. Thank you! 😊
I hope that sweetheart skirt found a happy home!!
Good for you for tackling that project! Funny and informative!!!
It feels good to have one more done, if only I didn't have two closets full of mending and upsizing to go...
Wow, what a cool channel! Me and my gals will dig this! I found you in Sunny’s group! Congrats on passing 1k, you’re doing amazing. I’ll be watching💗
Hello there!! Thank you for giving my wee little channel a shot. I am so glad you enjoy this video.
You are fun to watch. I could never make zippers look good using the method you did. I have been sewing since 1967. I found that pressing down the seam allowance first and teh basting in the zipper putting my stitches where my final stitchline goes to make it easy. Always use a zipper foot and never ever, ever sew next to the zipper pull. For a lapped zipper in a skirt, one side is pressed back at 1/2 inch and the other side is 5/8. The half inch side has the zipper sewed next to the teeth. Then pin the 5/8 inch side down and baste it in. There is a tiny pleat in the seam a!lowance of the 1/2 side to allow the 5/8 inch side to lap over the 1/2 inch side. Hope this helps.
I've decided to make peace with my seam ripper. It's my friend! At least that's what I tell myself...
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a victim of inaccurate eBay measurements 😢 and I have a corduroy skirt to let out in the waist--the ad said it was 14" flat but it's really, really not 😅 had no idea what to do until I saw your vid!❤
Oh HOORAY!! I am so glad this helped you!
"Murder is illegal" 😆 you got me there. I also really appreciate the 3, 2, 1, shit- gives me time to pause the video or skip over for the little ears around 😊
I love 💗 all your videos and adore your sense of humor it's really really great. You teach me a lot in sewing 🧵 keep showing us how to make things and how to make them bigger God bless
That was an adorable skirt! And thanks, I have some old skirts of my Mom's and I think I will try to do this to a few of them. She had a 20" waist.... I don't..
.
I love your channel so much! ❤️
I like zippers a little better with a zipper foot. It makes a difference. Buttonholes can go to h- e - double hockey sticks. ☺
You are so funny and love the music
Thank you Linda!
Yesss 1950s Fashion !! I love your personality too, you sound like you're from a vintage movie lol, stopping by showing support hoping you can do the same for a vintage sister:)
Just found you and this channel. I have a vintage pattern that I would like to "draft up", if possible. Learning to sew my own clothes and thos video had some great tips. Subbing NoW! Happy trails..🤟💗💗
Love you Girl 🌹
do you have any vids like this but for the bust/dress???
this is amazing! good for you for making yourself uncomfortable:) also wondering how long this took you to finish😅
I like in the outtakes your husband mentioning "Murder is illegal." 😂
You can do it!! Just dive right in. It feels so good to be done!!
What size did you size that up to?
Watching these on my TV so I am leaving comments via my phone.
I have totally done that before for other content creators! Thank you for supporting a small channel like me.
Was the metal zipper original?
I gasped when you cut the waist band😂
Trust me, so did I. It was a very timid cut.
It went from 23 inches to what?
Double line of stitching for gathering the skirt does make for nicer gathers that are actually easier to sew to the waistband, as annoying as it is to gather.
Ah yes, it would be. I was just being lazy that day. 🤣🤣
@@StephanieCanada we all have those days!
OMG i love your videos, I have a brain tumor that changes my mebolism from 23 inche waist to 45 inch and DDD boobs so I have clothes in every size, What a huge waist of money but you solved it
Too bad it's two years later because my daughter would love that skirt. She would have wanted it to be original length because she wears her skirts below the knee.
I've decided to make peace with my seam ripper. It's my friend! At least that's what I tell myself...
Right! I have had to as well. Especially for how much I use it.
Stephanie Canada Ha! Me too!
@@mdmaybe several years later, just popping in to say that the best service I did myself was buying a wooden seam ripper handle at a crafter's fair. It cost $30 (wayyyyyy pricier than the standard seam ripper) and I have to buy blade replacements every so often that, again, are every bit as much as buying a plastic seam ripper from Joann or somewhere. But I love that thing and the way it feels in my hand! It's so fancy and luxurious. Even if I hate needing to rip out seams, I love actually using the seam ripper. It was a great investment for the added joy to a dull task.
