    The dress you’re wearing looks wonderful on you! I love the dress and the fabric. And I am stalking the usual vendors for that pattern. I think that makes you somewhat of an enabler, although I do live my fabric and pattern shopping by watching your hauls😂.

    I love this video! In the past I made maybe 3 or 4 pieces in a month so your output is amazing to me! And inspiring because everything fits and the fabrics are perfect. That little new look dress that you made into a nightgown, it’s been hanging around my sewing room for a while, and I was just thinking of making it, so very glad that I saw your make because I would want to remove a lot of that excess fabric also. And the little Vogue top, I love the way that looked with your pants. You choose the best fabrics for each pattern! Thank you, thank you thank you ❤❤❤

    Indeed, in Europe they are quite expensive and Burda is not really an alternative. What I find most surprising is that is nearly impossible to find a good vintage pattern for nightgowns/feminine sleepware. I cannot understand why they do not reprint them. Beside that, most pattern are out of fashion and when a new pattern arrives, it is already out of fashion. Are they doing this on purpose?

    What do you mean put your sleeves in flat, could you show us please?

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962 6 днів тому

      Hi sidneyann! “Set in” sleeves, or sleeves inserted in the round, are put in after the shoulder and side seams are sewn. The sleeve is completed (sewn at the underarm seam and hemmed) and then put into the hole awaiting it. This often requires a light gathering at the sleeve arch so that it can be eased in. Sleeves put in flat are sewn on before the side seams are complete. They are laid right sides together with the bodice (shoulder seams already sewn) and attached “flat.” Hope that helps!

      Thanks Mary! I am 5’8” and usually sew a size 12 or 14 in commercial patterns - despite being a DDD cup I do not do formal bust adjustments. I just match the finished garment measurements and don’t add to or subtract from them, since wearing ease is built in. I was in great shape last summer when Zinnia was new and we were walking 5 times a day (and somewhat losing our minds) but I’ve eaten all that back - thank you Chocolate. We keep pretty active and I love Leslie Sansone walking workouts.

    I bought the same pattern, but haven't sewn it yet. I'm so glad that you previewed it because I thought the sleeves just had a pleat in them. I'm with you. I don't like the split so if there is enough, bending space, I will sew the sleeves closed. Since you had no alterations to make, I see right away I have to lower the bust dart. ( I'm no longer young and perky lol).

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962 8 днів тому

      Those split sleeves were a huge disappointment BUT I didn’t use very loosey-goosey fabric. I can’t help but think they’d be better in something like rayon challis, who knows. This dress was long ago cut into a top, lol, so I think it was a fail then save.

    Enjoy your trip! Here's a quick idea you might want to pass along to your viewers. If you happen to find random pattern pieces you want to pair up with the envelope just look the pattern number up on E-Bay. You can see what envelope you are looking for by sight without having to look at pattern numbers which saves time.

    Vivmom, I am making a costume for my son and it is a pirate jacket. I am a new sewer and don't know what material to buy. It will be hot. Simplicity 4923. I need help please.

    • @vivmomsews4962
      @vivmomsews4962 10 днів тому

      Hi Diana, that looks like fun! I’d go with a lightweight velvet for the vest (and probably not line it, if it calls for lining), lightweight cotton gauze or double gauze for the puffy shirt, and a cotton broadcloth for the pants/jacket. The jacket will need slightly heavier fabric than the shirt, hence the cotton broadcloth. You could also do any thin cotton for the puffy shirt - batiste, voile or lawn. People claim polyesters are hot; I’ve never particularly noticed that - your call - polys will cost less than cottons. Rayon challis would also be fine for the shirt, it is drapey and doesn’t hold structure, so it wouldn’t do for the jacket or vest. All the best!!

The result is I am back in my sewing room, I am going through hundreds of old patterns that I have accumulated (I mean, collected😂) and looking at them in a different way. It is. Thank you, thank you thank you for continuing this and being here and reigniting a love for fabric, patterns, and every part of sewing, including ripping out seams on which I could probably do a five part class on UA-cam.
