Well, I've never done "vintage sewing" but I guess back in the day what I did then would be considered vintage now. Anyway, I used to make ALL of my skirts when I had an office job. I found 2 skirt patterns and used them for years in every fabric imaginable. I get it - find something that works and go with it.
Beeing alble to reuse a pattern you like is the whole point of having a pattern! And you look so beautiful and happy in this dress, it sure is worthy of beeing repeated a bunch!
I LOVE this pattern, and am going to try to find it for my daughter. Im amazed that it is so close to thr Barbie dress. (I love the fabrics used in her dress as well.) And that's a great tip about the bias tape for the underarms. I've never heard of that bafore. I'll remember that for my next project. (All my sewing is on hold while Mr Injury-Prone finishes painting my sewing room and putting up new shelves for me....i'm on first aid duty while he works...)
Oh my goodness! We did this dress in our Home Economics class back in '81! We were supposed to bring two different colours in material, but we were poor and only had this faded denim-coloured cotton, we couldn't afford to buy another colour, so the teacher shamed me in front of the class for not bringing two different colours. But my sister (who was in clothing design school then) gave me a bunch of lace and piping to use on it and told me how to do it. Use the wide, lace panel where the corset section was, and if there is enough of the lace left to trim the arm holes with it, make a ruffled cap sleeve with it, she wrote down directions on how to do this, and then use the navy piping on top and bottom of the corset and on the seam of the lace caps. The teacher scoffed at what I brought and said, "We will see if it turns out to be a dress or coveralls." To make a long story short, it came out beautifully and I even wore it to school and on many occasions. As for the teacher and her attitude, my mom went up there and punched her square in the nose when I told her what happened, knocking the teacher's huge bumblebee glasses off of her head, all the while the principal stood and watched! My mom never got in trouble for it, but they got a new Home Economics teacher for the next semester, who stayed until she retired. But I love that you recreated this style of dress! So simple, but so classy! Thank you for sharing this video! My favourite pattern is a flowing shirt dress. It is my go-too pattern,
Dang it, girl! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Every time! I've tried to find this pattern but its sold out everywhere! I hace yet to watch your vid e os "just once"! I can't! They're too beautiful!🥰
I make doll clothes, started sewing at 8 making clothes for my Barbie. Now it’s BJDs - 1:3 scale dolls 🤗. I also sometimes make American Girl doll clothes. I enjoy making doll clothes cause they don’t gain or lose weight 😂

This is amazing ❤ I've been collecting barbie outfits for inspiration of outfits to make on pinterest for a while now. So far I've only made one Christmas outfit. This is a beautiful dress xxxxx
That is absolutely beautiful. I love everything about this design. The bolero gives this dress another beautiful look. Love the big yellow buttons. And what a great colour. ❤
Girl, this pattern again! 😂 Hahaha I love it and it suits you so well! 😍 I have some vintage Burda 60s skirt patterns with great variations which I used a lot. But my #1 pattern so far is the free Mary Quant 60s Mini Dress pattern from Alice & Co. which they did for a V&A museum exhibition. Made this in a lot of variations and even used it as the base for some blouses. I love your authenticity, please always stay that way! ❤ Love from Germany, Diana
I wish everyone in the world could be like this friendly and creative and nice and not tear each other's hearts this is so touching and good and I love it
Any recommendations for sewing machines for someone who hasn’t used a machine in years and isn’t wanting to spend to much money? Also love the videos ❤❤❤
This turned out beautifully!! Loved how you took the inspiration and made it your own. Would love to see a video about Barbie inspirations with vintage patterns! 😊💗
Girl is my dream neighbor. So friendly and respectful. And don’t forget about her beauty and her style!
I KNOW RIGHT! like I just want to be her friend and bask, in person, in all the beautiful things she does!
@@strawberrychampagne8250But for real though! Like imagine going outside and seeing this beautiful person!!!!
As a beginner honestly this channel drops so many little nuggets of good advice
I’m so glad you can learn from me 💕💕
I love how you Make the same pattern into a totally different dress! It’s a delight to see you in these fashions!
Girl, if I had a midriff like yours, I'd make a midriff pattern too!
Beautiful dress, beautiful model!
Exactly, lol! I USED to have a midriff, but that was several decades ago. Thankfully we can still watch Sewrena and enjoy her style.

Wow! The dress turned out beautiful! It makes you look like a daffodil! Perfect for spring!
This lady is beautiful and her work amazing. Her figure and clothing silhouette remind me of my mother in the 1960s.
Not only did I grow up with Barbie but so did my daughter. We would love to see a video linking Barbie with vintage patterns. 💖💖💖

That is one heckuva story! While I'm not fond of violence, I'm a big fan of parents sticking up for their kids when the adult is the one in the wrong.

You look so pretty. I love the yellow. Girl you are so slim, I avoid any light colors on my middle like the plague, but you and your dress look great.
I like to hear your ideas while you sew. I'd watch you make the same dress in different material every month.
Dang it, girl! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Every time! I've tried to find this pattern but its sold out everywhere! I hace yet to watch your vid e os "just once"! I can't! They're too beautiful!🥰
This is giving me life! 💛 Love the finished looks, and I love how when you do a recreation, you always put your own spin on it.

Girl, this pattern again? But seriously, absolutely beautiful outfit.
Yes, I would definitely love to see Barbie inspired fashion video.
Girl, this pattern again. I love the color combination.
It looks so good though! I think my goal is to make a week's worth of the same dress in different colors. Why not?
I love this idea! I’ve considered this but can’t bring myself to make the same thing back to back.
Love your vision as well as energy. This pattern is perfect for your style and figure.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it
