  • Secret Sewing CHALLENGE! In this week's video, I paired up with Jennifer from A Vintage Vanity to do a secret sewing challenge.
    We sent each other a mystery box of vintage fabric, a pattern and vintage notions, and we were only allowed to use what was INSIDE each box. I was sent a 1950's vintage sewing pattern (McCall's 5471, bust 40"), some modern Joann's tree print cotton, a polyester zip and vintage notions. Come with me as I show you how I make a vintage dress from this exciting vintage mystery box. I will show you how I made this dress and tips to avoid making the same mistakes I did.
    Vintage pattern used: McCall's 5471
    Fabric: Joann's
    Notions: poly zip, vintage button and vintage belt buckle.

    You always say not to notice the mess but I love it. My house looked the same for years and I was shamed for it. I had little kids and a full time job. Actually, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference how old the kids are😂. I don't come here to see your house. I'm here, because I enjoy your content and your no fear of house mess and lack of makeup. It's super refreshing.

    If anyone fell in love with the cut of the black dress towards the beginning of the video like I did, it's a Trashy Diva brand dress in the Cage cut! That style dress is no longer available on their website but I'm seeing a decent amount available secondhand online. I immediately purchased one so I can take it apart, convert it into a pattern, and make my own in a fabric I love!

    Yes, heat resistant tape like they do when holding down vinyl on a T-shirt, etc. Then you can iron right over it when you iron your copy of the pattern and put it away.
