This vintage dress sewing tutorial, is designed to help you sew a true vintage pattern and give you the ability to create a complete custom vintage wardrobe based upon your personal style. I will show you how to use your own measurements to draft your own 1920s through the 1930s Haslam Dress Foundation. I also am comparing and contrasting the three Haslam Foundation Dress Patterns.
I have vintage inspiration and a desire for a unique wardrobe. I am delighted to live in a time period where history bounding is a thing and that having a niche dress and personal style all your own is not only accepted, but seems to be encouraged.
I draft my own vintage patterns based upon the Haslam System of Dress Cutting. This vintage sewing system has allowed me to sew vintage blouses, house dresses, and one fancy vintage dress. I have deep aspirations of having iconic vintage clothing as a staple in my wardrobe.
This episode is a very technical episode where I show exactly how to start using the Haslam System of Dress Cutting.
I am a SAHM vintage seamstress. I focus on accurate and appropriate to the era vintage clothing creation. I am not a huge fan of commercial patterns, so I draft my own sewing patterns based my own personal measurements. The Haslam dress cutting system that came out of Great Britain between 1920 and 1960 has opened up an entire world of sewing that I am finding to be easier and faster than using a mass produced pattern. I wear what I sew compete with wet set pin curls, aprons, lipstick, and sometimes a corset I primarily sew garments that were worn between 1920 and 1965. 1940s sewing is my personal favorite right now. I’m sure this will evolve and change. Research will be done because I love historical sewing and the fashion perusal and research that comes with it. In invite you to enjoy these research episodes will be soothing episodes that will include me reading to you. Fabric Burn Tests are also included because Fire Makes Things Exciting. The get ready with me videos will be ridiculous as I am not a fashionista and have a practical vintage approach. We are inclusive and rainbow friendly here. Wear what you like and be true to you.
