  • Watch as I sew a retro pattern, Butterick 6889 (link below). This dress is a nod to the 1950s, and gives off some serious Lucille Ball vibes.
    For my fabric, I chose a black and white polka dot printed on Italian cotten stretch. You can find this fabric at Threadymade.com (link below).

      I'm almost done. Just the hand work to finish. I love the way this fits. I will be making several of these in different fabrics, mine is in the same green as in the pattern picture.

    Wow, that collar and neckline was intense. Love your videos, in case I haven't mentioned. 😍

      Haha ... Yes, it was a bit of a tight squeeze to sew before opening up the back slit. McCall's 7948 has a very similar back facing, so I knew it would all work out. 😂
      Thanks for the kind comment -- so happy you love the videos. 🌺

    What a lovely dress and the silhouette is perfect for this fabric! I keep holding onto some polka dot fabric but now may need to re-think my project, entirely. Thanks for sharing another great project😊

    • @Sew-Happy
      @Sew-Happy  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm glad you like it, too! When I saw this fabric, I knew a vintage pattern with few seams would be best. Polka dots are happy prints for sure. 😁

    I am so glad I found your channel. I have learned so much and am now making the Everyday dress. I was wondering if you could show how to add trim, like lace or ribbon to spice up garments. Thanks for all your efforts and teaching me to sew.

    Back in 1950's 3 inch hem was standard, I only stopped doing that a few years ago.

    • @Sew-Happy
      @Sew-Happy  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Very interesting -- thank you. It's odd, because the bottom of dress is slightly curved, so you would have to ease in the material for that deep of a hem. 🤕

    I bought the patterns you made recently! I'm going to watch this one here. I don't do belts because they just roll up on me, but I do like seeing how it looks good on other people.

    • @Sew-Happy
      @Sew-Happy  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nice -- sounds like you have some relaxing sewing time ahead! Party🎉
      I wonder if you might make a thinner belt that won't roll, reducing the width of the pattern piece by half.

      @@Sew-Happy Mari, I never thought about that. I gave up belts years ago because they always rolled up on me. I might try that.

    Wonderful tutorial. Looking forward to making the dress once I get the fabric. May I ask if you went with the recommend ease of the pattern? I want to make a size 18 for recommend bust 42 and the finished size shows bust 54.5. If it is the correct ease for the look I will make it but if it is best to go down a size or more I would love to know.

    • @Sew-Happy
      @Sew-Happy  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for watching. 💕
      I did not make any adjustments and just cut my size as matched my measurements. 🎉 I believe the ease will be just fine, and is complemented by the cinching of the waist belt.
