Following a 1940s Jumper Pattern ...using a novelty fabric!

[@StayStitching]

I LOVE this outfit! From my perspective the jumper is extremely flattering on you! However, if it feels off to you, then that's that. If I saw you out in public wearing this, I would be so charmed by how adorable you looked!

[@AngelaCostumery]

Thank you so much! It's definitely the bright sort of outfit that makes people smile!

[@charlarp]

I totally agree, it looks beautiful on you

[@fallenangel1049]

Me too….make it again and do the correction to it

[@almadeckard8360]

The ensemble is far more flattering than you think. Bravo!

[@chelebelle2223]

YES! AGREED! 🙂

[@scottydogism]

Super cute.

[@yeoinbird]

absolutely agree

[@fallenangel1049]

I think so also….its more slimming then she thinks…less fabric slimming more fabric [gathers] make you look heavier or dumpy….its sort of rule of thumb

[@ColleenMarble]

I'm early in the video where you are talking about fails. I hope you eventually include the fails in future videos (when you remake those items) or as a series. I think it's good for those of us who are seamstresses to see and learn from the fails as well as from the successes. I watch your channel because I enjoy all of your content but also because I learn a lot from your projects. Just wanted to throw that out there. :-)

[@rockinrileys5678]

I agree. Until I started watching you I had never even heard of a French seam, now I do them all the time, especially with my daughter's solo costumes - lots of silky materials. Thank you for showing the steps and when it goes wrong for you, you come across so positive when it does then I ever am.

[@hannahvanert2398]

Same! As someone that is learning the “theory” behind the construction of garments, having someone work through how they deal with experimentation and finding the correct fits and silhouettes would be so helpful!!

[@samiuseliina]

I think the fail videos would be interesting. Sequence corset is definetly something I want to see go as horrible as it sounds. If only so I don't try to do it myself and walk in the same trap

[@J_Isak]

Yes this please

[@AngelaCostumery]

I definitely will, at least for some of them! I just finished my second attempt at the hoopskirt and I plan on sharing what went wrong and what I did differently the second time around. I think talking about how to resolve, or get past mistakes is really important because everyone makes them! Sometimes though, it's just better to cut your losses. Spending a few days on something that ends up unwearable can be really discouraging - and then devoting more time into editing a video about the project can feel really unproductive. Even if people would watch it.

[@gigirivers1447]

I would be interested in the bone storage. Also everything else. Not to mention as horrible as it sounds it's good to know someone as amazing as you has those days. You could make a video about how you overcome those issues and keep yourself motivated!

[@J_Isak]

Gigi Jordan same I also like seeing how things can commonly go wrong so the rest of us novices or self taught beginning sewers can avoid mistakes and learn things and also not feel so bad when we mess up or things don't turn out like our shiny Pinterest dreams make us think they will.

[@MsCinis]

I also really want to see the bone storage, as a noob with no storage space I am interested in every single storage idea out there.

[@AngelaCostumery]

I plan on re-filming a few of the videos that went badly - I'll definitely share what went wrong the first time around and what I've changed! Mistakes don't hurt as much when I can help prevent others from making them too. :)

[@talosheeg]

@@AngelaCostumery exactly! I'm going to make my first crinoline soon, so I look forward to your videos!

[@DancingNinja77]

I swear my brain started hearing white noise when you went over those alternate pattern instructions.

[@epitcher]

I love when you use fabric from Joann’s. Then I can fantasize about making something similar.

[@gigirivers1447]

Same! I love knowing I can afford it!

[@raraavis7782]

Elizabeth Pitcher Relatable 😂

[@merindymorgenson3184]

I’d like to see the boning storage bag. I mean, since you have the footage anyway. . . . . Also, when you said, “I hate floppy facings!” I muttered, “hmmm, indeed!” I apparently still have minor hang ups about home made garments from when I was a child, even though I didn’t have many home made garments as a child, because when I recently made little A line shirts for my daughters, I finished the pocket inside edges, as well as tacking down the inner facings as I clearly remember the annoyance of having a facing fly up in my face and trying to find items in my pocket and everything in my pocket getting caught on the frayed inside edges of my pocket. Anyway, so many things I don’t remember from my childhood and that’s what sticks?! Anyway, your blouse and jumper are amazing! And even more amazing given the lack of quality in the instructions. Well done and educational, as always!

[@amandahutchison5360]

I think both garments are beautiful, that dress looks beautiful on your figure

[@kerplunk7862]

Making the mystery "instead of" garment might be a fun video : )

[@sarahh6546]

Dear Angela, Your voiceover of the trials and tribulations you have been going through with your projects this month was absolute everything I needed to hear this morning as I am equally stressed about the multiple batches of cupcakes I am making for a party this afternoon, including a vegan and a gluten-free batch. Not that you need to know that. But really, I love your energy and spirit of perseverance.

[@kooki85]

I'd actually really like to see your fails. I'm just starting out sewing and it's nice to know others have problems too.

[@elizabethk1520]

Darling! That blouse with slim-fit Capri or ankle pants and ballet flats = perfect summer outfit❤

[@ziggiezag938]

I was so surprised when you said you didn't think the jumper was flattering. My first thoughts were about how well it fit and showed off your small waist. We are each our own worst critics. It is an absolutely adorable outfit and I'm glad you shared it with us.

[@sandyliera-ruiz4433]

I think like all of us. We all have good days in sewing and crap days where we want to throw our project across the highway. LOL. But as always we pick up the project days later and finish it for better or worse. So you GO Lady. It turned out Beautiful. 🎉

[@nixhixx]

The jumper is Incredibly flattering on you! It makes your waist look fantastic!

[@olifrijoli5380]

I'm in love with this outfit...This has to be my favorite dress jumper EVER so far! You look GORGEOUS! As for the waist, it might be a hit or miss, but maybe a thin denim belt would help with cinching it to your liking without it being too distracting to the jumper...for the bust, slap on a padded bra and go out to a lovely night on the town! Thanks a MILLION for another great video and tutorial! ❤

[@lala_bee]

Padded bras have fixed more wonkily-fitted dresses than I care to admit, but it works!

[@olifrijoli5380]

@@lala_beeRight?! I guess they don't call them "Wonder Bras" for nothing. 😜

[@tammymasson2343]

Perfect advice!

[@AngelaCostumery]

I think a denim belt is a really nice idea! I hadn't thought of that but I probably have enough fabric left to make one. Also, I think I would rather wear a corset than a padded bra but it probably would help the fit issues a lot lol!

[@ushere5791]

@@AngelaCostumery i wonder whether a blouse with shoulder pads could help the jumper fit issues. the whole ensemble looks adorable on you, though--very flattering. even without a waist seam, it accentuates your waist nicely.

[@karensimonpeterson3574]

This jumper is so flattering on you! I understand why you’re unhappy with it, but I love it on you. The blouse too. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

[@carmenvelarde8400]

Love your "silent assistant. She definitely says a lot with those beautiful pup eyes. Great video, thank you so much.

[@devinbaggs7542]

With that outfit and that hair in the final photos you look a bit like my grandmother did in her younger days, and I really really love it. The whole thing turned out beautifully, thank you for sharing with us!

[@Coffeetogoplease933]

I think the jumper looks excellent on you - I know we are always more cricital and see the flaws in our own designs, but fron an outsider perspective this jumper looks just gorgeous on you!

[@shelliblah830]

I cannot believe you thought it was not flattering on your waist, I was shocked cause I thought you were a stunner in the jumper! I thought, “Gee what size is she?” You look amazing!!!! Anyway you do not shy away from a challenge, I think you should be very proud of this work!

[@biancasciocchetti2728]

It's so relieving to hear you talk about all your fails. As I am getting better at sewing I'm trying out more complicated pieces. However, I feel like they have all turned out horrible and it's really making me not want to sew. You saying that helped me see that sometimes projects don't work out and you need to keep pushing through it all. Also thank you for introducing me to the simplicity vintage I'm truly addicted.

[@rinarose9544]

oh my gods I LOVE THIS ENSEMBLE, it's adorable! the blouse is absolutely adorable and the jumper is *super* cute!

[@Sewprano]

Gave me sewing through the decades vibes. Loved that series. Thanks for the video!

[@mindymoyer9600]

I know how frustrating sewing projects can be, I recently had to remake a chemise and then on my remade chemise I had to rip out the collar and sleeve bands and sew them in correctly. But I am very glad you stuck to it and finished the project......it looks lovely!

[@SewTexas]

You are truly a beautiful person. I raised three sons, would have given almost anything to have you as my daughter, yo are also so very talented. Such satisfaction in watching you work and create.

[@marylefave2933]

Love both pieces. The shirt fabric could not be more perfect. Absolutely charming.

[@gerileemakes]

I almost died laughing when you talked about making a sequin corset. Aesthetically it sounds like a great idea but also like a nightmare to construct. The only ways I think it could be done is either by using a sequined fashion fabric on top of the corset or adding the sequins on by hand after construction. I hope we can see these "fails" in a video some day.

[@AngelaCostumery]

Even aesthetically it's a bad idea. I worked SO HARD to create a pattern with interesting lines and it's completely covered by the density of sequins in the fabric. And everything in my sewing room is covered with sequin shards. It's worse than glitter. I'm too deep in to stop now but I hate it so much lol!

[@kimreisinger]

Your outfit is adorable. I know you weren't 100% happy with the fit of the jumper. But...I think it looks lovely on you. Even though the jumper doesn't have a defined waist, it DOES flatter your figure. I love the red buttons too!

[@tammyellison735]

I was a fashion sewing student forever ago. Like in the 70's yes I am that old. You might try taylors tacks when marking. I use them for everything including darts. I love them, large ones for bigger marks and small ones for small dots

[@essencebeasley6524]

I think you should post the videos about your "fails" anyway. I'm always so discouraged when I end up making three or four muslins when I'm sewing and seeing somebody else fix their mistakes and how they deal with failure is interesting and inspiring.

[@india1422]

I like my tailors’ board too. Another great addition is a stand for the tailors’ ham. It allows whichever edge you need to be held in an upright position so you aren’t trying to position the ham and hold the fabric with one hand while trying to iron with the other I bought myself a great iron too- the Laurastar. It produces a constant flow of steam which is great

[@sylviahilxebrant7141]

Beautiful outfit!!!! But OMG, the handsewing you did! There are a few areas I'll sew by hand but not much --- I even sew buttons on by machine. So proud of you. 👏

[@dorindatodd123]

The jumper is flattering is dies fit you waist beautifully. And if only you'd lift the neck line tapering to the shoulder it would fix the beck gapping when you relax your shoulders. I had the same problem with my friends wedding dress and this technique fixed it and I didn't have to slash and close it this would of distorted the garment. I'm a couture pattern cutter and Fashion Designer from the UK and I was taught by one of the UK's top fashion tutor's he taught and wrote the sylibus for the degree course at the London school of fashion. Also with a 5/8 inch 1.5cm seam allowance you never add to the seam for French seams there is enough there in the allowance.for this , Ive done more french seams than I care to remember successfully. And please stop beating you self up your incredibly talented. And I love watching you on KZbin. Well done

[@danitzasews]

I really like the jumper. I think it looks awesome on your figure. Maybe add a thin red belt? I do see the problem with the bust area though. And I love the little lady detail on the lapel. The big red buttons really do something extra for it

[@katipennington]

Gwen is the cutest assistant I’ve seen!

[@tammymasson2343]

Oh Angela! You look so lovely in this! I'm really glad you detailed what you don't like about it AND how you would go about fixing it. It is so easy for some of us to think taking it up in the shoulder seams will fix it, then wonder why it doesn't work. I agree with some other comments suggesting you find a bra that helps fill it out more so you can enjoy wearing your project as made. I really love the deep V neck on the back, as well as the button details. And in my opinion, your waist looked remarkably lovely in this outfit! Happy sewing!

[@knittingnana2939]

I have a ruffler foot and I have used it. Make no mistake, your skills are waaaaayyyy better than mine. The ruffler foot is no big deal and works very well.

[@Bumbeltz]

Your patience with handsewing is inspiring, I would just have machine stitched everything but your garments look so nice! Also, before you started talking about the fit issue, I thought wow, that looks so nice on her waist and hips, I think it looks lovely on you.

[@louiselill1528]

I adore both garments . I actually like the idea of sewing the collar this way it makes perfect sense and let's face it you don't see the underside of the collar . A method I shall try

[@debrakinder5824]

I really like the way the waist fits. I think it is very flattering even though there is no belt involved.

[@user-ri2qn4qo4k]

I've definitely had my fair share of cursed projects - even multiple cursed projects in a row that really shook my faith in my own abilities. One thing I always do to try and shake it off is sewing something really basic that I know I could do in my sleep - usually something like a gathered skirt. Completing a project you know you can do and feel good about can help break the run of bad luck, at least in my experience. I loved this video, by the way! You did a great job, even with those wonky instructions - they would've driven me up the wall and had me pulling my hair out! Good for you for finding solutions to the confusion and lack of information! And that fabric from Joann's is gorgeous as well - once again, it makes me wish I could pop over the border to do some fabric shopping. 😂 Keep your chin up, Angela. ❤

[@JessGSews]

I really enjoyed watching this video. I am thrilled to know about the new Simplicity fabric. Your insights are priceless. The idea of a mock-up for the jumper, to help alleviate the gaping in the front, I agree with what you said. It would have been done with a lighter fabric and would not likely have shown the need for removal of the extra couple of inches. Do not beat yourself up. I NEVER do mock-ups (I’m too lazy). I’m so impressed with your very thorough processes.

[@lorihassett3537]

I think it looks wonderful on you. You are too hard on yourself and your figure. I love the fabric you chose and this is something you can wear now even though it is a vintage pattern. You modernized it and its FABULOUS!!!

[@NesjeNahr]

I love the jumper and blouse. It's good to hear that you have those days which I used to have too where nothing seems to go right.

[@martaaberg3330]

Angela, I personally learn more watching sewing vids where things DON'T go well, because things go wrong for me all the darned time, and it helps me immensely to see how really expert people recover. Please don't think everything needs to be perfect for every vid, because it's your process, no matter what stumbling blocks happen, that keeps us coming back. Also, I would love to see how you store the boning. Oh, and I think a denim jumper is an excellent choice; you'll get so much wear out of it.

[@emilyhunt8853]

PLEASE Post your videos even if they are a different subject or you think no one will watch them. I promise I will always watch them.

[@karink6974]

I think the whole outfit looks very nice on you. I can see what you are saying about that top gap but I think the lower portion looks very nice. Just glad you are finally back.

The blouse turned out lovely. The jumper does have some fit issues but is not bad as a casual outfit if you add the darts to make it fit better. Thank you for the video.

[@charlottegury1243]

Angela, you are amazing! Please don't let yourself down because everything you do is amazing!

[@teresacoffman5529]

My mother taught me to place a button at the fullest part of the bust to keep it from gaping and then place the remaining buttons proportionally down the rest of the garment. Hope that tip helps for future projects.

[@rachellynncreates2703]

Teresa Coffman that’s a very helpful idea.

[@VictorianMaid99]

I am trying to do the same thing: sewing using a fabric that was not available when the pattern was created.

[@logandodson1484]

The jumper also would be cute in a gray window pane pattern to make it a business casual piece. Great video

[@michelehayes9509]

I think the jumper looks very flattering on you. The whole outfit is really cute!

[@hollyw5328]

Just a note about the pattern with the bloomers that might look like a diaper. I just made it but from a reproduction, size-scaled pattern from Reconstructing History! It's a 1954 bathing suit pattern. Mine didn't come out as poofy as the picture made it seem (I chose linen with a power mesh lining), and it is actually pretty flattering, definitely not diaper-like (despite having that potential). It has hope yet :) (side note: I may sing a different tune when I try to use it in water, but for the time-being this is what I've found.) As always, it is a pleasure watching your progress through your projects. And watching your videos has honestly helped me to get my butt in gear and start making things again, following my vintage dreams.

[@penny7b]

Thanks for pushing through when things get difficult (mentally/emotionally as much as practically). It's actually really encouraging to see that even you struggle with projects and motivation sometimes. It makes me feel better about my own failures and struggles.

[@suzannewallace9484]

This whole outfit is CUTE. I specially like the jumper because there is no waist seam. A lot of the older patterns assume basic knowledge most people don’t have these days. Most people have no idea how those clothes got in the store in the first place. Thus you are ahead of the game. Just thoughts from “A little old lady”.

[@lynetteshorten6043]

Angela, I adore the outfit on you. also with reflection to the vintage patterns...Having come out of a time where most patterns were self-drafted and bought patterns were a rare purchase, I think that the instructions were minimal due to the fact that many women could sew or had someone to sew for them. Therefore the sewer was expected to know the process. I see so many modern young women struggling through following the exact instructions where I think that in our day, they were a 'guide' only. If you as the sewer, had another way of construction, then that's what you did. So...go too girl! Do it your own way. That was expected. Also re the apron...I can totally understand that. This would have been considered a 'bonus' pattern within the bought pattern. I can see that the confusion lies within the interpretation by a modern brain (where EVERYTHING is explained), to an age where most ideas were understood and little explanation was expected. I hope that this encourages you in your further ventures. These is really no right or wrong way to construction - its the end result that we see. Unless of course, you're entering a competition.

[@lizzystitch4842]

Great job! Alot of those old patterns assumed that a person already knew how to sew, and I mean sew with talent and skill, not just making a pillowcase as a home-ec project! In the 1940's, almost every girl was taught how to sew, either by her mother, or in school, and they were taught how to read a pattern and how to complete a garment construction! My mother was one of those who was blessed to learn to sew like that....both in school, from her mother, and in 4-H. She could take a new pattern out of the envelope and NEVER read the pattern instructions, and totally complete a garment to look beautiful. I didn't take home-ec because in my little town, the only girls who took those classes were the losers with poor grades, illegitimate pregnancies, drug users, etc. I did not want to be identified with them. So, I learned from my mother....not everything but enough to get by. Everything else, I learned on my own and through some very credible sewing books and on tv through Nancy Zeiman and Sandra Betzina. The people who write pattern instructions are, as you said, morons. They write poorly, leave out steps and instructions, and ought to be schooled on how to do it the correct way! But, I digress. Your sewing is very nice, and you are to be commended! Congrats!

[@54leonilda]

Adorable! Have never seen Fray Check used on button holes! Brilliant

[@itssewxtra1713]

I watched a video of yours and didn’t comment, (a 50s floral dress. Loved the video and leaving my comment now. I absolutely loved your honesty during the garment construction in reference to not following the instructions exactly, mistakes you made and how you rectified them. It felt so much more real, than a lot of tutorials. This and yet your production and filming quality is basically perfect. Really excellent content! I love my vintage patterns, especially he 1970s 😍

[@honeykat1]

off topic, but I loved the Gwennie clip at the end!!! And your jumper DOES look super flattering on. It doesn't really matter if it gapes a bit when you slouch, as you're wearing that lovely blouse under it anyway, plus it's a good reminder not to slouch if you want to look at it in a positive way...

[@fuchsfarben]

That blouse is so cool, I absolutely love it and how versatile it is. I'd also be interested in the boning pouch process. It's nice to see how and why other people choose to store their materials. If it isn't too much to ask please include the mistakes, I find those so interesting to learn from and it helps to see how you would correct those mistakes as well :)

[@perhapsitswisertobemad]

I love the blouse fabric, too. It's so cute on you, and the jumper as well. As one who wore jumpers in the 1970's, I well remember the problem with gapitis when a neckline is too large. The jumper is lovely on you, waist seam or not. You have a lovely figure. I enjoy your videos so very much. Thank you for sharing your love of sewing with us all.

[@outsideaglass]

Such an amazing video! I also think videos about your projects that don't work out so well would be really helpful, a post-mortem video about what you could have done better would be super useful. I'm watching a lot of these videos as I learn how to sew again (haven't touched sewing for about a decade and a half), so what not to do is as helpful as what to do!

[@aliceannjo]

You will love the ruffler foot. I use mine a lot. The jumper is so you, the red buttons really pop.

[@brinagotsued]

I think that jumper looks lovely on you, and while it doesn't have a waist seam I also think it made your waist look very nice

[@sylviapubl3680]

Lovely! If you fix the shoulder & bust darts on the pattern, you could make several versions as follows: a) Casablanca - use white sharkstooth or gabardine, make skirt straight with kickback pleat in back. Make cotton jersey top in green/white horizontal stripe (or blue/white or red/white). Pair with white straw or cotton broad-brimmed hat, white slingback shoes, white gloves, large sunglasses, envelope bag. Presto! You have Ingrid Bergman in the shopping-at- the- market scene! b) Funny Face - make it either a-line or straight skirt using heather grey wool flannel with self-covered buttons. Pair with burgundy turtleneck, black stockings & shoes. Audrey Hepburn in the bookshop scene! c) My Fair Lady - use dark green silk taffeta & make the bodice longer so skirt can begin 7 inches below the waist. Change the skirt to a pleated circle skirt. Make 1 inch pleats all around. Use black velvet bias trim around neck and front bodice. Use velvet buttons and a velvet sash belt around the waist. Make a high-neck white silk organza blouse with pleated silk organza trim around neck and cuffs. Pleated sleeves with pearl buttons. Wear with black stockings, shoes, violet bunch tacked into belt. Audrey Hepburn in the library scene, "The Rain in Spain." Happy Sewing!

After using the ruffler foot, I was kicking myself for not buying it sooner. My only advice would be to play around with it first. It’s really not that hard to use and gives really nice even results. I know I"ve seen tutorials online but can't remember at the moment where the best one was. Also, I loved your new outfit! The denim was a nice contrast to the lovely Simplicity fabric. I suspect you will wear that blouse until it’s threadbare. Lovely work!

A really fun project, Angela. You look good in this outfit, I like the red buttons you used.

Adorable outfit! My favorite part is the jumper with the bright red buttons, it looks great on you.
