It Goes Together How? :: My 2nd Vintage Sewing Project :: Making The Halston McCalls 5829 Pattern

- Hey Peeps! These pattern pieces are definitely some of the weirdest I've seen but the design and construction method is really clever. As I mention I am no expert so the pattern alterations were trail and error! I am pleased with how the skirt has turned out (with the 90 degree turn!) and I do want to revisit this style once I've made my blocks! I hope you like the sewing technique for the pivot point! I will make a mini tutorial for it soon. I will keep this skirt although I'm not sure it's going to get worn! What do you think?

Clear as mud! - I’m so impressed on your ability to fathom it all out. 🌹❤️
You look very good in aqua. A very interesting video. Stay well and safe. I like the outfit. From Tennessee USA
Wow. Though I'd never try this, I've watched every minute... and some parts twice.
Oh my goodness, thank you for the tutorial on sewing a right-angled seam. It deserves it's own video!
I'm editing the mini tutorial right now :)
@@KittenishBehaviourSian fantastic! Thank you
A head twisting pattern alteration for sure’ 😂 But the skirt became very pretty when you turned it around 😊
I used to know exactly what was what when using a vintage pattern, in my teens, which was decades ago, lol, no, not lol. Anyway, I bought a few last year because a lot have style lines that just aren’t seen in patterns anymore. I pulled one out of the envelope and after much head scratching swiftly put it back in again, lol, yes, much lol 😂
But, I’m not going to let them beat me because one of my favourite things to do is problem solve and I really want to enjoy the challenge and be able to wear those garments! Well done you for figuring it out!
I wonder if a mitred corner would work to resolve the finishing issue on the inside of the 90 degree turn and allow it to sit flat?
Very interesting design, and great demonstration on troubleshooting the fitting adjustments with those oddly shaped pieces!
Great work! Good job puzzling out the alterations
Thank you for showing your reasoning and method for altering this pattern! It's such a weird shape, I never would have known where to start.
That reinforcement of the corner would be a great clip to pull out as a short or as its own small video, so people can easily search/find it.
Already working on it ;)
I'm so happy that you like this skirt after all. Your facial expressions on hangout when you tried this skirt "sideways" for first time was awesome, you went from annoyed to sunny happy in seconds.
Agreed! The improvement in the skirt was so dramatic that I wondered if the pattern company had made a mistake in labeling the centers and the sides.
I love your skirt, but can't say I completely followed your pattern alterations, but that's because I am not that familiar with pattern alterations. The complete outfit looks fabulous. I hate patterns that use the clip to but not through 90 degree seam technique. I always fall foul of them and end up having to fiddle about to get it to look OK. I shall definitely try your two-step method. Thank
you.
Gosh Sian, you have me sitting on the edge of my seat, literally!!!!!
This was so so interesting!! Thank you for being such an excellent teacher ❤️
Sweet child of mine!! 😳😳 I need a lie down, and I've only watched the video!! 😆😆 You've a heart like a lion tackling that pattern!! 🦁 ( And I apologise for being one of the people who voted for it 🤦) It was so interesting to see how it went together, and I'd love to see how you make this skirt pattern once you've drafted your block. It definitely makes sense to draft from a pattern that's going to fit so there are no fit adjustments. Lynne
It was fascinating how turning the skirt 90° altered it so much. I loved this vlog,it was so interesting and I learnt so much.
Wow! It’s fascinating how the pattern goes together and how you devised a method to alter the size. Love the finished outfit! ❤
Wow, those fit adjustments were a real brain twister! 😮 It’s fascinating what a 90° shift can do for a garment - totally agree that that is the look to go for. Now, I can’t help but wonder how this might look cut from two different fabrics, a print and a coordinating solid. Maybe with a waistcoat fro the solid to match… 🤔❤️
I am so impressed! That pattern would have been tossed right away if I was faced with the alterations you showed, but your demonstration was so clear even I could follow it. Such a lovely result!
That solid color on you is spectacular! Well done figuring out how to make it work.
Love the color love the shape looks fabulous on you Halston was a design genius
What a mind-**** the re-fitting is! Looks good though :-)
How interesting. I wonder how much stretch there would have been from the fabric being on the bias at the waist and hip. I have a feeling the designer probably draped the pattern as a bias a line skirt with a full-ish flare and then just promptly slashed along the straight of the grain from the low hip points. What a great job you did reverse engineering the pattern. I agree about taking corner inserts in two goes. If you want to finish the corner, have you tried reinforcing with an extra square of silk organza before clipping? The extra fabric from the silk can possibly be wrapped around any raw edges? Haven’t tried to finish that way but have used extra silk organza to reinforce extreme clipped corners.
Wow, that looks so complicated but your demonstration was great and easy to follow the process. The finished skirt was lovely and the sideways turn really did make a difference. ❤🐥
Wow. Loved this video and your explanations of figuring out the alterations needed. The methodical way you approached the pattern pieces was great to watch 🐣
I like it when you turned it 90 degrees too. It looks much better and I’m so glad you tried it!
Impressive maths problem (mostly!) solved. 🎉
Great demo. I always rush and mess up those sharp corners.
Looks great
I totally agree with turning the skirt, and I love this color!
Wow it looks great on you! I would have never made it through the process, seriously
amazing work on those alterations and I will definitely use your method the next time I have to sew an inner corner.
Love that color on you and turning the skirt made all the difference ❤
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for sharing how’s you worked through the size changes. I’ve not done much pattern work. I did sew up a vintage pattern from the ‘50’s (I think) knowing full well it wouldn’t fit me. The dress came out beautifully and the fabric had been overdyed in pink. I would like to figure out how to increase the size to fit me…..many interestingly shaped pieces. Would probably explode my brain trying to figure it out. 🤯. Maybe some day. I agree the skirt looks much nicer turned to the side. Lovely!😊
Oh my goodness. This is a very instructive. Great job.
🙃 it boggles the mind! It makes sense but, at the same time I have no idea!!🤣
Great work on the alteration of the pattern. Sideways works 😃
I have this pattern and had no idea. This was so helpful! Thanks!
I think my strategy would have been to make the skirt as-is using muslin, then slash from waist to hem, and add in strips of fabric to get the measurements I need, then deconstruct the whole thing, then transfer the changes to the paper pattern. Which seems like a lot more work than just modifying the paper as you did!
Yep,😊 your way may also have not added the flair at the crotch and but so I'm with you👍
Yikes! Well done!
Turned out lovely!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾 brilliant stuff.
Thank you so much for the demonstration. On the waist can you do a slash and reduce ? Kinda like a bust reduction. I just was thinking. Let me know if that could work.
🤗🤗🤗
❤
Vintage patterns are wild they don’t make them like they used to
The CF and CB fullness comes as a result of the single slash and spread, imo.
They'd have been there without it, the flare was already in the pattern :)
My brains are smoking, good exercise though. Doing it in miniature is a great idea to work through the grading process.

Thank you for your tip regarding the pivot point, I’m sure that would work for facings on a v-neck top also. 🧶🌈💙🍓
It would for sure and is exactly how I sew them :)
@@KittenishBehaviourSian I wish I had known that sooner, it makes more sense than the instructions that are usually included with patterns! 🤔😊
🤯💗
I wouldjust have cut the pieces a put tham back to the a-line skirt and THEN slach and spread. And then put the pieces back. Then everyting should fit.
That would have been a really great idea!!! Next time…😊
They used to just pink the raw edges or zig zag to finish the edges back then.
I do use that method sometimes (If it's good enough for Dior ;)
Awesome job. ❤❤ Yes, no one needs flaring from crotch or butt spots 😂
❤💕
♥️👗
I apologize if this is a stupid question. But won't all the stitches on top of each other weaken the fabric instead of reinforcing it?
I haven't found that but I'm not 100% sure! This method has worked for me so far :)
💛🌺🔥
I don't know what you will work out to make in 2024. After seeing how this vintage project came to fruition, I'm thinking you are going to run out of sewing projects that scare you well before the end of this year!
