Making a vintage casual outfit

[@Marlina66]

That is such a rich and warm green in the jacket. The buttons are the perfect color. LOVE the pants!!! GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@jojokeane]

I would rather watch her then sew myself. Less frustrating. 😋

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Super cute! Are you thinking of showing your car eventually? If you ever do, it would look so cool if you made a car blanket/outfit set (for example, in a matching plaid), along with a vintage picnic set for display.

[@marim0y]

She has shown her car in her shorts. There are a lot of videos on the work she has done.

[@nataliaord639]

@@marim0y She might mean SHOW as in car shows.

I've never been interested in sewing anything from the 1960s -I'm more of a 30s/40s gal. But every time I watch you make something from the 60s I'm like, "Hmmm maybe I need this too?" Love this set! It turned out so fabulous! ❤🎉

[@HerzogenVonBallen]

I’m a 30s/40s gal too. Where do you get your patterns and / or fabric?

[@tosewthyself]

@@HerzogenVonBallen I've used patterns from Decades of Style and Pictorial Patterns and a couple of vintage reprints that I found on Etsy. I really only have a couple of patterns which I then mess with the seamlines of to create different looks. I mainly shop for fabric on CaliFabrics & Mood, and on Vogue Fabrics for their Bemberg lining.

[@samanthab3292]

I bet you could do a combination of patterns to make something unique!

[@lesliejacobs3605]

Such a nice vintage look!!! 👏. Thanks for sharing your amazing creations ❤

[@the1_grammy503]

What a gorgeous, authentic outfit you have made. Honestly, Ms. SewRena I just can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@bethenecampbell6463]

Super cute! You did an amazing job matching the plaid.

[@MeatYourDay]

Super cute outfit as always!!!

[@paulcarlachapman628]

Kenmore Sewing Machine, 1970s. I bought mine in 1972. Very much the same machine as yours. I remember these styles. Mother had a wool suit with a jacket like this. Beautiful clothes!

[@ElopeJax]

Great teaching and relaxing while inspiring. ❤❤🧵🪡

[@SewRena]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I’m so ready to start posting holiday content

[@HerzogenVonBallen]

Red looks great on you! Love your finished product. Thanks for sharing your craft. I started sewing vintage for myself !

[@StephanieCanada]

I love you so much friend! I want to make sure you love what you get. ❤❤ I adore this outfit.

[@SewRena]

Thank you! I know you do and I appreciate the heads up.

[@tejaswoman]

Y'all are so gorgeous to watch interacting. Enjoy both your channels.

[@gemsxgabby2534]

This is adorable! I can definitely see you driving your corvair, glasses and headscarf on.

[@SewRena]

Same I’ve been daydreaming 🥹🥹

[@humblelabor]

I love this look! That plaid fabric is so, so pretty!

[@2_pencil]

Excellent plaid match!

[@shevawnbasye7404]

Great outfit. Love the pops of red!

[@cherylhuot4436]

OMG a that’s so darling!!! Having the jacket lined with the pants fabric is so much fun!! You really do a great job bringing the original to life!! I’m with you about wearing wool next to my skin!! Itch City! I can even get welts the reaction can be so bad! I never thought of using cotton as a lining in pants. I guess whenever I’ve bought or made, lined pants, it’s been lined with a slippery fabric. Not sure why…. What kind of buttons did you use? Metal? Plastic? Leather? I couldn’t tell from the video. And OMG a the red shoes!! Perfect!

[@SewRena]

Thanks so much! I used gold metal buttons the original looked like they were gold and I had some vintage gold buttons laying around. The shoes were from Walmart and happen to be super comfy 🤗

[@фаяфаина-и1б]

Girl! You are so talented! It came out perfect!!! I grew up in the 60s,; thanks for the memories❤

[@SewRena]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad I brought back good memories 🥰

[@carmenponcedeleon2693]

Beautiful creation!😊

[@blufaerie]

This is truly a wonderful and authentic set of garments! I can’t wait to see your haul and makes from Backroom Finds!

[@c_j_ak]

Fabulous job! That turned out super cute 😊

[@guestguest2030]

That is ridiculously cute!♥

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

I used to have a Kenmore Sewing Machine. Actually when I bought it it became my first ever credit purchase. They didn’t even have plastic credit cards back then. It was paper and the edges curled. When I went into the Army it was left with my family and my oldest sister claimed it. I don’t remember whether it still works or not. I think it does.

[@susanevans2051]

Love the corduroy!

[@elainelear4982]

Great outfit. Enjoy.

[@donnacoleman4624]

Love it! Such a smart outfit for fall and u look amazing in those colors❤ I always look forward to a new video, u never disappoint 😊

[@samicakuri5296]

I wanna try making vintage clothes one day too!

[@SewRena]

You totally can! It’s so fun.

[@samicakuri5296]

@ Do you have any recommendations for my first project?

[@Siouxsi-Sioux]

Love your outfits, love your videos! You're one cool lady! ❤

[@gcbaba]

Absolutely love your videos!! Your talent and creativity is amazing And it brings me back to my childhood….grew up with my mom wearing these fashions and living in a house with a kitchen like yours!!! Have a happy Thanksgiving !

[@julietpresleycorleone.]

Gosh, you are so incredibly talented 😩

[@harriettpettus2934]

Love it! Do you have any suggestions on where I can find material .desperately seeking...

[@huntercook4563]

Notification gang! 🎉🎉 Love the videos, SewRena! Your personality shines so bright, and I love listening to your voice. It always brightens up my day! Keep doing what you do! It is so appreciated!!! ❤❤❤

[@SewRena]

Thank you so so much! I appreciate you showing up even with the long unexpected break from my long form videos.

[@ande100]

Oh, darn it! I'm vision impared and could hardly see You in the outfit on my phone: pants matched the fallen leaves ad the cutline was almost perfect for the jacket to melt into the foliage behind You. I KNOW You were there, somewhere. Lol. Still: yet again a great tutorial and I just love listening to your voice. Sunday greetings to You and hubs.

[@saleemahfareed4495]

[@judithcatlett8518]

Nice outfit. Love green anyway, so you could have made a sack.

[@joecoloff4247]

[@rbncj]

Hey doll! I love your channel so much! Have you made any peddle pusher? I’m on the hunt for them but can’t find any on island! ❤❤❤

[@SewRena]

Yes! I actually put a card in this video, but search pedal pushers on my channel and you will find the video.

[@olderendirt]

That's a really cute outfit. Some wools are itchy to me and others aren't, but I haven't figured out why yet. That plaid is great.

[@SewRena]

Apparently it’s how it’s processed. Nobody is allergic to wool itself it’s how the wool is processed.

[@olderendirt]

@SewRena Thank you for explaining. I didn't know that.

[@sielorstout1213]

You are so talented!!!

[@BiankaBowman]

i love the outfit. I agree that extra ease is needed for layering in the cold winters.

[@SewRena]

Yes!!! Then they shrink over time!

So freakin cute!! Just walking straight of a catalog 🤩💗 I would have suffered through the itchy too it’s so worth it lol Also hearing your car is almost done has me so excited!!✨🎉✨

[@SewRena]

Hahah right! The fabric is so nice 😍. We are definitely picking up speed with the car. The engine is put back together. We have been rewiring over the last two weekends. Next we replace the gas tank

[@jennydame]

@ so close to fabulously cruising around! 💗💗

[@tiredoftrolls2629]

Sew lovely!

[@sarahgoetz1170]

Great looks for the cooler months and the tip to allow ease at the waistband to tuck in shirts is so helpful. You mentioned in a previous video that a bullet bra helps with the way vintage clothing patterns are cut. Do you have any brand recommendations for those with a small bust? Most don't go too small in size range that I have found.

[@SewRena]

What Katie did goes smaller plus they sell the padding to fill the cone shape

[@StefsMiniaturesandCrafts-ej3mz]

[@sielorstout1213]

@@SewRenaGood for you! In my experience, costumers ALWAYS gasped and gawked at the price. I refuse to sew for others now.

[@CarpeNutella]

Corvair lol Unsafe At Any Speed 😅😅😅

[@JaneDoe-ip5yl]

That fabric DOES look very itchy. maybe even through the liner

[@CarpeNutella]

Why was I taught to just sew over pins?
