I sewed a festive vintage dress for Christmas (with vintage fabric!) 🎄

Follow me as I sew a kitschy jumper dress for the holidays! 🎄 I’m mashing up a 1950s vintage sewing pattern and a 1960 reproduction pattern to make a perfect Christmas dress, using gorgeous vintage fabric. Spoiler alert: I LOVE how it turned out! 😍

I love the way you communicate things I think while sewing…lol!

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

Lovely! Real life has that nasty habit I missed this one for the same reason!

[@patarcher1813]

The placement of the poinsettias on the bodice are perfect. The dress is pretty. No one but you and I will understand if I fall into a fit of giggles looking at a display of poinsettias. Hoping you have a merry Christmas.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks and Merry Christmas! 😃

[@daxxydog5777]

It reminds me of my current holiday table runner, lol! It came out so cute!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

I have a vintage Christmas tablecloth and regret the one time I saw yardage of that fabric, as I’d totally make a dress from it 😂

[@parkdalian]

Great video, as always, and a beautiful dress. Love the bloopers at the end and hope that will be a regular feature! Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks and happy holidays! I’ve put bloopers into a few but I don’t always remember or have time to set aside the dud clips for that, but I definitely enjoy doing it. 😄

[@lindak8664]

A flower boob is far preferable to a button on the nip 🫣 That is such pretty fabric! It’s made a perfectly festive Christmas dress. It looks lovely with your snuggly jumper underneath too.

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks!!

[@nardal1604]

Gorgeous dress....love your humour and find yr instructions fantastic ❤🎉

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@Christine-vu4ej]

Fabulous, your dress looks gorgeus on you!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you so much!

[@remmym6605]

Dragging on cutting out the interfacing is so real. I literally save that until I absolutely have to 😅

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Right?! The only reason I do it early on is if I wait I might not do it ever 😂🤣

[@michellecornum5856]

I love this! The colors, the flowers. I, too, have a poinsettia fabric that has waited for years. 🤔 It's cutting it kind of close, but maybe --

[@patriciabennett961]

Your dress turned out beautifully! I love your rings btw. Gorgeous! Love your videos, keep up the fantastic work ❤

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you so much!

[@suzanneh8996]

Thank you! 😊

[@CandycaneLane999]

Love it! Thanks for sharing what you did film, Merry Christmas 🎄🧑🏻‍🎄🎅🏻

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you, happy holidays!

[@ladyedith]

Love the idea to leave a note on the fabric if it's been washed or not! The times I've been really excited to start a project and then had to delay for a week while I wash and dry fabric because I can't remember if it's been washed. Some of my fabrics are 20 + years and the memory cells ain't what they used to be! 😀 Thanks Tasha and Merry Christmas!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

You're very welcome! That's one of my favorite things that I started doing, washing my fabric before putting it away (well when I started to do that, I had a big washing week pulling things out and putting them back in again 🤣). And I label them that I've washed them (because as you so aptly put, those memory cells ain't what they used to be!) and include the width and yardage. SO helpful!

[@stilettodivah]

I love this 😍

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! 😄

[@Puppy52]

Happy holidays!!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks, and to you!

[@JJtvee]

LOVE IT!

[@MarieMadeThis]

Love the dress! And totally with you on cutting the interfacing! What was the candy cane dress/blouse? you were wearing in part of the video? Looks lovely too!

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks!! The candy cane item was a little wing collar blouse I sewed from a 50s pattern. 😁

[@GonnieAnneveld]

Lovely dress! You're such a wonderful and funny presenter!🥰

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thanks so much! 😄

[@IAmCraftingAgain]

I ❤ your videos

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you!!

[@MNic13]

This turned out beautiful!🎄🥰 Happy Holidays! Where do you get your vintage fabrics from?

[@tashacouldmakethat]

Thank you! Kind of all over. Some Etsy, eBay, antique malls or estate sales on occasion. Wherever I can. ☺️

[@MNic13]

@@tashacouldmakethat very beautiful collection!
