1960s Mod Dress Sewing Tutorial

[@SheerStitchery]

I am so glad I found the Lekala website where they have patterns that you can customize to your unique body shape! (not to mention this totoally has a retro vibe going on)

[@kathihime]

I like that you can customize the pattern!

[@SheerStitchery]

@@kathihime me too! It is so handy!

[@GabrielaTravels]

60-90' are what I call the real fashion. Good job on the video! :)

[@SheerStitchery]

Thanks - I tend to love vintage styles too

[@cleo5090]

i made an account and started finding patterns while watching this! thanks foe the inspiration

[@SheerStitchery]

Awesome! So glad I could help 😊

[@angela14962002]

❤The dress may have been shorter than you wanted it to be, but I am glad it was because I love the white stripe you added, which looks intentional. It's sew pretty! 😊

[@SheerStitchery]

Thanks! Glad it looks intentional - I’m actually happy with the detail too, gives it more interest 😊

[@Skitty2024]

Loved this, turned out looking fabulous, I love that 60's fashion, so simple yet classy. Seems like a lot of older styles are coming back which is really cool :)

[@SheerStitchery]

I hear you. I feel like the 90s is really in right now...

[@CalisCreatures]

Fantastic tutorial! I've always wanted to try sewing. I love the 60s fashion!

[@SheerStitchery]

Go for it!

[@SheerStitchery]

[@CageVsCage]

[@rosamariasalcedo1018]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. Beautiful work you inspired me to start sewing!!!!

[@SheerStitchery]

You are so welcome! Have fun!

[@downtownon7thavenue]

Love how you did the collar. You did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing.

[@SheerStitchery]

Thanks so much!

[@SubzeroMNX]

I love the 60's fashion, it was such an innocent time in America (well the first half at least) Very cool design it looks great on you too! I enjoyed this thanks for sharing :)

[@SheerStitchery]

Thanks, it was fun to dive into some simplistic vintage design

[@autumntop5765]

I have made a couple of items from Lekala and have downloaded several patterns. Like you I found the last one to be about 5 inches too short, but I added the extra to my pattern before cutting out. I added the extra about halfway down the skirt as there was an kick pleat in the skirt and I didn't want to alter that. With regard to the adding of turnings, I was able to add them on and they have subsequently been added to every pattern I have downloaded, as this information is saved along with your measurements. Each of my A4 printed pieces of pattern WAS marked and therefore it was very easy for me to attach the pieces together. I found that the fit was very good. Your measurements can be saved and edited if you alter in size and you can add bicep size which I found useful. There are other adjustments which I didn't use, but I think it is a question of time getting used to it. It is a massive website and you can design your own garments from templates. I would recommend it. Finally, I should say that I think you need to have some sewing experience as the instructions are a little scant.

[@SheerStitchery]

Yes, love their patterns so much! I fit is great (except for the short hem in this one) 😬

[@deletergaming3275]

Loving this tutorial!

[@rosamariasalcedo1018]

Thank you for sharing this video. Beautiful sewing project! I hope you plan in the future to make more 1960's retro dresses!!!!

[@SheerStitchery]

That's the plan! I actually have some vintage patterns from 1940-1970s from my grandmother that I plan on doing soon.

[@thepastrystash]

Lisa from And Sew On sent me! Love your channel!

[@SheerStitchery]

Welcome!!

[@livewithr5946]

I accually think I like the white stripe at the bottom

[@SheerStitchery]

Thanks, it was an afterthought to my mistake and I am glad it turned out nicely too. ☺

[@Stanley-i4h]

I don’t want to be critical but the collar seems to be skewed , off center. I am not sure if it’s how you are sitting but I noticed it in all the scenes…it is cute and fits you perfectly.

[@DocDoesGamingTV]

I dream of a store where you can just type your measurements into some sort of machine and it spits out a perfect article of clothing. I always have a problem with long sleeve shirts, my arms are too long!

[@SheerStitchery]

Well, I could help you with your shirts if you are interested you can email me at [e-mail] ❤

[@coquetscache]

And Sew On sent me!

[@SheerStitchery]

So glad to have you come over :)

[@thedahliasewciety]

So glad And Sew on shared my channel because I found you too!!!

[@SheerStitchery]

Oh, thank you sew much! ❤

[@apntv]

I'm not sure it would suit me but well done :-)

[@SheerStitchery]

Hahaha, well come now - I'm sure you can pull it off 😉

[@laviniasnow4494]

Does this type of dress have a name? 🤔

[@SheerStitchery]

I would say it is a shift dress. They weee really common in the 1960s.

[@laviniasnow4494]

@@SheerStitchery Thank you! 🙂

[@goldengoose4985]

Why make a 60’s mod dress only to lengthen it! That’s what a mod dress is!
