Fall Fashion 2023, but it looks REAL vintage. So I found vintage patterns to recreate the fall line.

[@blktauna]

Hot Fuzz is an absolutely WONDERFUL film!

[@7arboreal]

I know - I love it!

[@amberdulay7238]

Absolutely quotable and hilarious!!

[@darlagraham7934]

It is amazing! It was even highlighted in a film class I took because of the innovative way Wright shot the travel montage 🙂

[@kfries1282]

Agreed - my favourite of the Coronetto Trilogy, and a MUCH smarter comedy than the trailers gave it credit for

[@pinkporcupineknits]

OMG! Hot Fuzz is one of my favorite movies to date! ...."terrible movie." I'm hurt!

[@tansygoblin8601]

Okay but Hot Fuzz is a really good movie actually!

[@yolandalehwald4865]

I am here for this to be an ongoing series 3 times a year.

[@StephanieCanada]

Aww thank you! I will keep that in mind for the future. Please share with your friends too!

[@TealCheetah]

For anyone who is going to work with fake fur, flip it over and only cut through the backing fabric, much less mess that way.

[@StephanieCanada]

YES!! I remember that tip from all the stuffed animals I made growing up.

[@blktauna]

And a rotary cutter or box cutter type single blade is also a help.

[@kd1841]

Yes, I was buying some fake fur a few years ago to make some Tribbles and I had to stop the salesperson and show them how to cut the material so the luxurious long fur wasn’t completely ruined on the cut edge! 😂

[@nancilycett9360]

I have been waiting for my 1981 wedding gown to come back in style!! If it lasts long enough maybe my granddaughters won't think the poofy sleeves and pointy v-waistline are hideous. I've saved it for just this!

[@janisi9262]

Sweater dresses, fleece-lined leggings, and ankle boots are my winter uniform. I am also an elder millennial. You can find a lot of free-to-download tie patterns, and if you don't mind experimenting, could make your own! I've never seen the movie Hot Fuzz, but I had a few of those fuzzy sweaters, and the SHEDDING. You would just lose sweater volume every time it went through the wash because they were pretty much just fishnets full of dryer lint. Very soft dryer lint that made your entire friend group molest you, but dryer lint just the same. Everything old is new again.

[@StephanieCanada]

I remember the stretchy ones too, that touted "it is a top, a scarf or a hat"!

[@adriennesimpson9679]

"Hot Fuzz" is a very funny movie I feel, if you feel British comedy is funny. I would recommend that watching it at least once.

[@StephanieCanada]

I mean valid. At that time, I was DEEP into my Lord of the Rings phase, so nothing was pulling me out of that fantasy.

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

One nice thing about officially being 65 is that my lifelong indifference to trendy fashions is now official

[@lynn858]

To make a "bust couplet" style top, the "proper" hardware is called a "V underwire". And you can use that as a search term to get info on how to create that look.

[@StephanieCanada]

Nice!

[@UtahGmaw99]

I'm in my 70's and been there done that for all of these.

[@StephanieCanada]

❤❤❤

[@joiedevivre2005]

Elder Gen Xer here - I actually made the Simplicity 9015 off the shoulder dress to wear to my first middle school dance. It was always one of my favorites.

[@pmclaughlin4111]

It sometimes freaks me out when Stephanie manages to Highlight a pattern from my stash ...that I bought new...still factory folded....

[@StephanieCanada]

Oops... sorry bout dat. 😂

[@PsychedelicPlatypus64]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alexandriamount3069]

My 13YO had found all of my old very 90s clothes that were made for me and had deemed them as “super cool and fashionable”. I’m not sure I believe them. But nothing is ever new.

[@JenInOz]

Somewhere in Facebook there is a post from my (then) daughter of me in a chunky knit jumper (aka sweater) in the late 80s and then then wearing the same top after it was stolen from my wardrobe in the 20teens

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh THAT I am sure of!

[@alexandriamount3069]

@@StephanieCanada their prized possession of the collection is a very 90s vest in bright bold saturated colors in a repeating pattern of all cats. With very large colored buttons.

[@dressdeveloper]

Oh gosh. Yet again I’m glad I don’t need to care about fashion and just can make the clothes I want. Nice wrap up Stephanie!

[@shauni191]

Oh god not the fuzzy coats! Thise need to stay forgotten in the past. Also great Bob pop in

[@JenInOz]

Did you see the bell bottom/ very flared trousers in the new Vogue pattern releases the other day? Takes me back to my childhood!

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh no! I have not! Should I take another dive back into the fall sewing patterns as well?

[@kayfountain6261]

I have quite a few 40 year old items in my wardrobe that I still sometimes wear so you aren't the only one.

[@annesullivan1171]

Thankyou Stephanie very good vlog. I did go through the shoulder pad era and do not wish to revisit. Looking back at old photos I now know why my legs were described as something hanging from a birds nest 😂 American rugby player on top tapering down to very skinny legs. We thought we looked so hot 😮 😂❤

[@moniquetroth]

Hahahaha, hard same! I've got broad shoulders anyway, so the 80s thick shoulder pads just made it ever so much worse. :D (Now, the skinny shoulder pads were actually quite nice because they evened out my slightly rolled shoulders & gave me the correct "line" as opposed to "linebacker with chicken legs".) Also, also? Your name reminds me of one of my fave college professors.

[@gadgetgirl02]

"When you make your own clothes, you can be as extra as you want" I need to find a way to fit this on a coffee mug.

[@theartsypixie2771]

I was just talking to my youngest daughter about bounding, and she was excited about adding different era pieces to her modern wardrobe. Then she said she loves all the decades but the 80s. I agreed, especially since I lived through it 😢. She then stated it was trying to make a comeback, and I said the 80s have been trying to comeback since it went out and we took bellbottoms back into style before we let the 80s rear its awkward head again. 😅

[@tishie42]

Yarp! I love Hot Fuzz! ❤😂😂

[@JillR805]

I still have my 1980s pink acetate taffeta prom dress complete with shoulder pads, pointy sleeves, but with rhinestones at the waist, and I hemmed it to be tea length! I won’t ever be able to fit into it again, but it makes me happy that I still have it in my kids think it’s just awful which it really is.

[@HollyOak]

I remember the peplum from the 1980's. It was the whole skirt body and called the ra-ra skirt.

[@MeMe-Moi]

Ok, as fun as watching you go through this list was, I'm just going to plan on following my current plan of sewing the 1940s stuff I currently have on my "to make" list (I need blouses and a Christmas dress badly as my new hobby of weight lifting is definitely changing my propotions). Though I did see a pretty 1950s New Look dress that may magically jump into my sewing cart one of these days. Nothing on that list is anywhere near intriguing enough to tempt ne to try my hand at being on trend

[@Motorsportqueen]

Stephanie as you went through the fashions of the season I was thinking about all the patterns that i have that were relevant to what you were describing. Many of the stretch knit patterns you could use a brand called knitwit which was started here in Aus. Thanks for another entertaining video

[@StephanieCanada]

Oh cool! I love learning about other countries patterns!

[@MartinMakes926]

You recently asked what kind of videos we liked. I have really enjoyed this format. I am saving rhis for refence of patterns that go with style types.

[@LadyWiggin]

I can’t believe they called it hot fuzz! Lol. I also appreciated the GMM cut. Always entertaining Stephanie. From also to hot in Florida

[@werelemur1138]

I recognized so many of the 80s patterns.

[@vegemitegirl1971]

I loved the structured dresses and pant suits of the late 1980's and may have owned several in my young adulthood, back in the 80s. Yes, I did have a charcoal, knee-length sweater dress with a deep V in the back.

[@CaptainStitchyPants]

Oh wow, those are some very linear shapes! Just goes to show everything old really is new again 😂 Me and my very non-linear shape will be sticking with the styles that suit me, but I'll happily watch from the sidelines and enjoy Gen (Which letter is it now?)'s creativity at work on these! Hilariously, right after your bloops, YT suggested a video on perfectionism 🤣😂🤣

[@ivoryhenson1285]

Im just here to defend Hot Fuzz as an amazing movie, especially if you liked Shaun of the Dead

[@ZelB06]

I've never stopped wearing turtle necks 😂 I love them so so much always have!

[@stevezytveld6585]

As a member of Gen X I feel I must speak up for "Hot Fuzz". Which is an amazing movie that is the middle beat of the Cornetto Trilogy - including "Sean of the Dead" and "World's End". You don't have to watch them in order, but it helps to set up some of the repeating jokes. It's worth the time. Promise. Ten"Yarp's" out of ten. And what do you mean the 80's are back... I have photographic evidence (no doubt stored in a shoe box) that it's just not a good way to go. Learn from our mistakes for heaven's sake... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown/Pimisi

[@susangreene8765]

I did not know that turtle necks ever went out of style! As a big girl with big girls I gave up on turtle necks and the uniboob look. However, since Dark Academia aesthetic is here the first item of clothing any DA look list gives is turtleneck I guess that makes sense that it is hitting the trends lists too.

[@jenniferfowler6713]

plunging V , Elvira did that in the 80's

[@StephanieCanada]

Now THAT is the 1980's I wouldn't mind coming back!

[@sunshineandwarmth]

I loved mutton sleeves. Thank heaven, we now have affordable steamers bc those sleeves were impossible to iron back in the day.

[@sarahs.245]

I made a dress with a deep v by taking a front bodice piece that needed to be cut on fold and just folding it from the shoulder seam to the waist seam. Worked great!

[@cherylhuot4436]

I’m in my late 60s. None of this is new except the scooped out things that WON’T hold your boobs!! Everything else is old hat. Fun video. Thanks!!

[@StephanieCanada]

Right! So many of these I was like, "I have seen this before"

[@janetburke2739]

Hey, I'm in my mid-70s and have seen and worn even more! I had a sweater dress. I've had the shoulder pads but removed most of them because I hated them. My son's commentary on shoulder pads at that time (when he was a smart-@$$ teenager) was "Oooh, Romulans!"

[@bilbea]

Zip-tie boning is genius! Thank you!

[@mischymischy8321]

My passion is making neckties and I would kill for that 907 😂

[@EQHL2005]

Oh shoot! I liked Hot Fuzz. 😂

[@DustBunnyHerder]

I'm pretty sure my sister made the off the shoulder 9015 way back in the day. I was dead jelly

[@jazihughey8161]

I have a deep love of sweater dresses….I have a ton from the early 2000s 😅

[@StephanieCanada]

Amazing! A fellow "if it still fits why get rid of it" human!

[@BiankaBowman]

I love this. Thank you for suggesting different patterns for the current trends. Btw I also use clothes for far too long as long as they fit me. I have a few sweater dresses in my closet ready to come out again 😂

[@elizabethmccalla5767]

I have two copies of McCalls 2568. I use them to make bowties from Pyrex fabrics.

[@Vanessa_543]

why can't everyone just be more tea😂

[@HenryClan2012]

Holy shoulder pads Batman.

[@StephanieCanada]

ALL the shoulder pads!

[@sewvintageglam]

Ooh I love the idea of a removable peplum! 💕 I’m very long waisted and so I need to wear either all the same colour or only have a peplum matching the skirt/trousers or I look very looooooong! Lol😂

[@BeckyAbella]

I love your videos and look forward to release! I kno this is alot of work to create. Thankyou so much for taking the time!!!

[@nerdaccount]

You are so FUNNY! Thank you for sharing this all with us!

[@marciac.9634]

Clever presentation.

[@eileenhildreth8355]

After watching them struggle to make a silk tie on great british sewing bee i suspect this seemingly simple make is actually much harder to do to achieveca great finished product

[@StephanieCanada]

In silk, OH YEAH! But if you wanted to make a cotton one to match another piece it wouldn't be as bad.

[@PandoraSummer-d9v]

Great job. I appreciate your research, it's a classic!

[@kd1841]

Navel grazers? But why???😂😂And sweater dresses are a big fat NO in Texas. I do like mid calf hem length. But I like the term tea length better. 🙂Fun video!

[@StephanieCanada]

tea length is such a lovely term

[@moniquetroth]

Sweater dresses work in Mississippi for about.... two-ish weeks, usually in late January or early February. And "tea length" is my favorite dress/skirt length. Although, being 5'8" & 90% legs, I often have to buy maxi length & hem it a wee bit (or add significant length to skirt patterns).

[@michellecornum5856]

Over here, racking my brain, for "navel grazing" patterns, because we certainly had those things, especially in the 70s when all the girls were as flat as boards and had no fear of showing anything (can't show something that isn't there) and didn't have to worry about wearing a bra (cuz there's nothing to hold up, anyway.)

[@raraavis7782]

Hehe. Well, I still have two boxes of thrifted clothes for upcycling to tackle (don't ask), before I'm allowed to actually buy fabric and sew something completely from scratch...but this was a fun look into current trends, nontheless.

[@StephanieCanada]

I love your idea! Take what is actually saved and just re-make!

[@nancymoore8949]

A very informative and useful video. Well done!

[@jeanettefamulari3538]

What pattern are you wearing? That neckline is fabulous!

[@rosiehull3873]

Great video. Fun to watch.

[@Eneri-z9v]

I have Simplicity 8785 in my stash😊.

[@fortmacmom3122]

Awesome video! 😂

[@CarolSmith_authoress_]

Love this topic.

[@StephanieCanada]

Thank you!

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Have we come up with anything new since the hammer pants of the 90s???

[@elizabetherne556]

I picked up a vintage tie pattern a couple of weeks ago. Just because it looked interesting. Not too sure the year. It’s made by Judy’s Fun Fashions in Ames Iowa. It was sold locally here. I am in Iowa. It might be 70’s? 😊

[@StephanieCanada]

That is SUPER FUN!

[@elizabetherne556]

I also got a couple of 80’s patterns. A Laura Ashley and a Gunne Sax. 50¢ a piece. There’s one really good thrift store around my area. They get a lot of vintage patterns. I did get a girls dress pattern that day. A DuBerry. 1942. They occasionally have some plus sized patterns. Not too often. I think I got about ten patterns that day for $5.00.

[@nelliebly6616]

❤

[@patriciakellyadams134]

80s???? But but but WHHHHHYYYYYYY??? Oh, the neon shoulder pad horrors!!!

[@zeusathena26]

I think companies that make boning must be having low sales. Every seamstress, online sewing person uses zip ties instead. 😂 It's a good hack!

[@StephanieCanada]

it really is!

[@paloma_hill]

as a fellow elder millennial, thank you for the laughs!

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

I'm naming my stuffed mouse Bob

[@StephanieCanada]

YES!!!

[@blufaerie]

That yellow blazer for the play… Heathers or Clueless?

[@velvetvert9431]

I'm sorry you didn't like Hot Fuzz. It's a lovely comedy with a solid romance between the leads. I am not delighted to see mid-calf hems back. It's just an awkward length on most people. Very 'young matron'.

[@raraavis7782]

Agreed. I don't even like it on vintage fashion. I know, it's period appropriate for certain decades, but it's just so unflattering (imo). Just below the knee looks much better, if you want that more conservative length. It's the same with this trend of pants ending a hand width above the ankle. Just....why??

[@StephanieCanada]

Honestly I was just to busy being consumed by my Lord of the Rings nerdery.

[@darlagraham7934]

​@raraavis7782 I had pants all through my childhood that ended above my ankles and I heard "waiting for a flood?" Every. Single. Day. I had to wear them. 😡

[@moniquetroth]

LOL, but those of us with ridiculously long legs luuuuuurve mid-calf/tea length skirts. :D Seriously, they really work on me. Not so much on the jeans/trousers -- like @darlagraham7934 almost all of mine until about 1993 were referred to as "high waters" by friends. Thank heavens for designers deciding to offer longer length jeans/trousers.

[@blazertundra]

I didn't realize sweater dresses ever went out of fashion. I have one in my closet right now that I bought from H&M in 2016.

[@BYBabbra]

What goes around comes around. Yerp, down thear where the wa'er don't taste like what it aw'ter. Now I feel fuzzy and hot!!!!

[@StephanieCanada]

It is all a circle, for sure.

[@susandreyer9019]

Lots of research! Just for my entertainment! Thanks 🙏

[@ShakespeareDoomsday]

12:50 Is it just me or does the person on the right side of New Look 6958 looks like a Jojo villain?

[@kd1841]

Yes, the shoulder pads, vest , and pleated pants! Very Jojo! Great call!

[@gemmaswain2251]

As I grow older, I find I cannot wear scoop necklines. Because the girls do sag after age 35, and scoop necks wil either 1) accentuate the sag or 2) show the bra lines.

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Hot fuzz is not terrible!!!!!!! It's an awesome movie please watch and give it a chance it's amazing

[@kobaltkween]

Very interesting. Not only do I see a lot of the 80s, from peplums to boxy layered outfits, I see the parts I've been noticing in Korean series. Which is kinda creepy to me because they only work on extremely thin bodies. Any bulk or curves ruin the hang, make you look like a linebacker, or both. Style-wise, the 80s sucked for most female body types (I can't speak for guys). I hope young women with bodies like mine and pretty much everyone I knew bar the two or three most popular girls in each class just keep rocking styles that fit them, and not try to make their bodies fit trends.

[@DawnDavidson]

I survived the 1980’s by joining the Society for Creative Anachronism and dressing like I was in the 1380’s most of the time. As a woman with curves, I rocked the hell out of sideless surcoats! 😂

[@DetectiveNyx]

the fall fashion trends for this year are like the 80s decided to team up with the 2000s and bring back the worst elements of each. that peplummmmm. nooooo.

[@2020Dumpsterfire]

Turtlenecks are back? As in they were out??? Shows how much I care about mainstream lmao.

[@kristienathanson8282]

Speaking of renaming things - I almost died when I heard a "Gen Z-er" refer to yoga pants as (and I quote) "leggings with flare"! Yes - technically true - but seriously, come on!

[@vickismallwood2082]

I didn't like then so I think I am pretty sure my thoughts haven't changed. 😂

[@WthrLdy]

I'm cringing at the late 60s and 70s patterns AND the 80s stuff, btdt the first time around. As for the models, that stuff only looks 'right' on them, not real people.

[@StephanieCanada]

I cringe at 80/90's patterns because I remember JUST how itchy it was the first time around

[@WthrLdy]

LOL. I came across of factory folded ones the other day and thought, oh Steph!, but then thought NOPE. @@StephanieCanada

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

I feel personally victimized by peplums coming back lol

[@cynthiadugan858]

Ugh. I guess I’m just too old to appreciate the “new” fashions. I didn’t see a cute thing in the whole lot. I feel like starting from scratch with one of the patterns you suggested would be a better option and has at least some chance of turning out cute.

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I'm not one of those people either.

[@StephanieCanada]

You are in the right place!

[@Eneri-z9v]

Apparently the fashion designers must have been paying attention to content creators and they don't want to be left out of the loop. For goodness forbid if they should be denied our ever hard working dollars. Just saying.

[@daisyfox2452]

Why? Why are the 1980s back?! It was awful the first time. 🤢

[@StephanieCanada]

I truly don't know!!!

[@AndreaD.]

I made several 1980s two piece dressier outfits for my home ec tailoring classes. I actually recognized a few of those patterns that you mentioned near the end! Thankfully my sewing skills & sewing machine/sergers have improved since then!🪡🧵

[@StephanieCanada]

Amazing!

[@TheSnickerdoodle24]

High water hems??? Nooooo

[@StephanieCanada]

RIGHT?! That was my EXACT thought.

[@nixhixx]

Still too damn early for fall content.

[@StephanieCanada]

It makes me happy. So I don't think it is really hurting anyone.
