That said I still am enjoying my membership very much and hope I can catch up with my sewing dreams soon. I am in love with the Market fabrics - especially the Leek and the Chard. Hope they will be coming back. Thank you for all you do. Nirmala

Thanks for the video! In the most recent Fold Line video they mentioned the Trend Patterns TPC7 Pleated Shoulder Dress. The pleats are insane on that dress, although that may not be what you are looking for. It is worth having a look at the style as it a very unique pattern.

It's inspiring to see sewists being playful! The leeks dress is so fun. I'm obsessed with the Terrazzo dress and just bought some lightweight organic cotton to make it. For the black fabric, you mentioned pin tucks? The Page dress by Elbe Textiles would be a great transition dress from summer to autumn piece, as you could layer it.

very similar to the feed sack dresses,I remember my mother made me "pillowcase" dresses also... if/when sheets wore out or she found pillowcases (without sheets) with pretty patterns, she would turn them into dresses for me as a child. I remember several I completely wore to threads... the basics that I remember were that the seam was the shoulder and side seams of the dress. She would create a neckline with buttons or lace/decorations down the front panel and sometimes a belt (if it was a long pillowcase) becase she could just cut 2 belt pieces from the edge of the case to sew together into a belt. Thanks for the memories ladies!

How does this work with pattern-matching? Do we have to account for any additional “shifting” in the pattern due to the extra stitching/folding?

You would pattern match the same, keeping in mind a 5/8" seam allowance

The standard for measuring sizes were done with the Stewardess women in the army and government workers they took the average size, and that became standard... no housewives or teachers' secretaries or regular people (loosely speaking ), so it is funky thanks, ladies.

Women absolutely used feed bags and flour sacks in Canada for sewing, not just during the 2nd war but through the depression. My Grandmothers and Great-Grandmothers used them to make dresses, overalls, toys, quilt tops, etc. I remember in my 20’s, back in the 90’s, wearing a flowery patterned dress and my Grandmother remarking it looked like material from a flour sack…it wasn’t a compliment…there came a point when using feed and flour sack material suggested you hadn’t enough money to buy nice cloth. So it seems flour sack dresses were looked down upon eventually. In my Grandmother’s case, into her senior years, lol.
@sherylastley96529 күн бұрын
I remember reading that the sack producers would add patterns to the sacks knowing that they were being used for clothing. Not sure if this was in the US or UK or even Canada.

I don't get why people think vintage and big 4 are different from indie patterns. In the 50s/60s we only had big 4. The only differences are as you said only one side. It's also nothing to do with shape wear why the sizing ratio is different! I certainly never wore shape wear, it's just people ate healthily (no processed foods then) and people were more active, so people were much slimmer - it was pretty much the norm that there was 10 to 12" different between bust /waist/hip measurements. Processed food, driving everywhere and sitting with computer/phone all day have a lot to answer for in terms of the evolution of our shape, not the lack of corsets!
@closetcorepatterns11 күн бұрын
It's more that the user experience is quite different between them. If you're used to only indie patterns, you may find vintage patterns more challenging. If that's not your experience, that's great!
@Rebelle820411 күн бұрын
She did mention that she did not mean corset, she specifies girdles, Long-Line bras, etc, which all fall under the umbrella of "shapewear". Bras from the past do provide a different silhouette than modern bras 😊

Thanks. I typically move the pocket seam into the seam allowance a 8th of inch to better hide the pocket fabric. (Since I use colorful scraps for pocket bags.) so pocket seam allowance is 1/2". Do you have a comment on that method?

That's not a method we usually use -- if needed we will make any pocket facings wider, but if it's working for you that's great!

I live in a tropical adjacent environment, and, considering how hard the summer has hit, I’m all over the vest as top “trend.” I wonder if our summer lengths play a role in our appreciation or dismissal of a clothing item? (I have a winter puff because I have family in the mountains, otherwise, I wouldn’t need one!) I tweaked a vest pattern last year, and need to make 1 or 2 more. They sit away from your body, but still have a neat fit. They work with pants, skirts, or shorts. And are a nice alternative to a classic tee or classic button down. For those of us who shudder at the mention of a “classic” wardrobe item, a vest is a nice alternative. My take! ✌️

I like the barrel leg pants. I bought a pair of the more modified ones. They are fun and different. I also like the vest as a shirt. it's both a layering piece and a cute top. Sewing jeans is beyond my skill set, but I have made several vests. So I will not be leaving that behind. I have made a quilted jacket from a thrifted quilt that came from amazon. I don't feel too bad about. I probably won't make any more, but I would wear it long after it's been declared a passe fashion even if it's just around the house. That jacket is one of the most comfortable things I have.
