SEWING A VINTAGE 1930S PATTERN! 💫🧵 Making a Silk Slip for my Dream Vintage Dress

[@amybaitley6791]

So neat! I had no idea that bias cut fabric needs to hang for a day prior to hemming. Thank you for teaching me that 😊

[@49lucky]

I didn't either 😊

[@mil_enrama]

The slip turned out great! I have two pieces of advice from my own experience with such garments. For finishing the lapped seam of the bodice, I would recommend just hand-overcasting the seam allowance or using your serger. That's enough to keep it from fraying and it keeps the seam from getting too bulky. And for cutting shifty fabrics, I always put down a sheet of flannel on my table for extra friction, which encourages the fabric to stay put while I trace the pattern pieces. Hope that was helpful :)

The dress is stunning!! I love that you made the underdress for it. I love that you used a 1930s reproduction pattern for it. You will look beautiful going to the symphony in it or as a wedding guest. The color is so beautiful.

[@LaurenJohnson]

This is so so kind, thank you so much! Can't wait to wear it!

[@PurposeandPoise]

Beautiful work as always!! What is the song playing after you hung up the slip overnight? I love it 😍

[@margaretroberts6258]

I’m always so excited when I see you’ve posted a new video and this one was very enjoyable to watch. I LOVE the vintage dress and the underdress turned out beautifully!!!! Thank you, Lauren🌷❤️🇨🇦

[@LaurenJohnson]

This is so kind Margaret, thank you so so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching!

[@annelorewiens7688]

Congrats on 50k subs Lauren! Always look forward to your videos. I love when you show your coffee being made and your amazing cup collection, not sure why but it always puts a smile on my face 😁

[@LaurenJohnson]

Aw, thank you so much!! I'm so glad you love those parts of the videos-- I love sharing the little moments like that! So appreciate you watching!

[@49lucky]

Oh my goodness I couldn't believe when you said Golden Vintage that's right down the street from me😅😅😅😅😅 beautiful slip to add to that gorgeous dress

[@hayleypriddey9572]

WOW that looks so beautiful with the dress. I love your videos so much, thank you xx

[@adri7352]

What a great idea! And it turned out so beautifully! ❤

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!!

[@Puppy52]

Beautifully done!😍 Also, love your white blouse❤

[@LaurenJohnson]

Aw thank you! ❤️ I’ve been wearing this blouse a lot lately! 🥰

[@terilynn5525]

Beautiful Lauren. Thank you for showing the slip being sewn to go with that gorgeous dress! Have confidence because it looks great on you. Love the color too!! 😘

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! This is so kind!

[@JeanHagen-sp1sk]

I just found your site. Your dress is stunning! The slip works perfectly! Your Kenmore brought back memories. It looks like it’s in perfect condition. I had the same machine in the 70’s. I sewed many items for my little boys,me and my husband.

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much for watching! Aw, yes! The Kenmore is from my grandmother, and I love sewing on it!

[@joolsofsewing3723]

Beautifully done .... how simply gorgeous !!!!!!!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!!

[@lfuentes4098]

The dress is soooo beautiful. I’m so glad you found the perfect slip to make for it. I love the periwinkle color. I found some vintage lace is a fabric haul and when I went to sew with it and lace started tearing apart. I was so sad. It must be made with rubber or something. You know how old elastic just crumbles. 😢 I didn’t throw it out because it was just the tulle looking part between the lace flowers that would tear. I figure maybe I could still use the flowers as appliqués or something. 😅 Wishful thinking I guess. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@nancyruizalvarez4982]

It came out lovely! Thank you for sharing, You made it look so easy!

[@LaurenJohnson]

This is so kind, thank you!!

[@chlomo2618]

The slip pairs so beautifully with the stunning vintage dress. Absolutely a dream ensemble. I love the French Girl chic vibe of your outfit + red lip and vampy nails too!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Oh thank you so much!! This is so kind! Definitely loving the red lip and dark nails for fall ❤️

[@Veronic.atelier1821]

The dress is fantastic! Ιs stunning with the underdress that you made!Thank you for sharing!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! I'm so thrilled to have the dress in my collection!

[@PrettyLittleTokyo]

Thank you for all the sewing inspiration! ❤

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much for watching!! 😊

[@jsmiles1991]

You and that dress are a match made in heaven! Exquisite ❤

[@LaurenJohnson]

Oh thank you so much! So kind!!

[@dianneakel-lee6071]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!!

[@taytumhubert]

Absolutely LOVE this Lauren, it’s gorgeous! The color looks great on you and loved your Laura Ashley blouse! 😘😘

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much friend!! And well spotted-- I'm loving this Laura Ashley blouse!!

[@terrigelbaum8066]

Nice vintage Kenmore.

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you! It was my grandmother's!

[@MadeByMelm]

Love the finished dress and slip combo! Looks lovely 😍

[@LaurenJohnson]

Ah, thank you so much!!

[@tracyfrost]

It looks stunning

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Tracy!

[@EB2therescue]

Great inspiration to work with some vintage patterns and slips and under garments!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!!

[@RomySews]

The dress looks amazing! And the slip is lovely too. It could probably do with a lining/facing piece for the bust part to hide all those raw edges, though the bias binding worked really well too 😊

[@LaurenJohnson]

Ohh yes a facing or lining would be a good solution! Might try that next time 😊 Thanks so much for watching!

[@shanaproctor100]

I love it!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!!

[@therusfamily1196]

Great video, thank you. Those old patterns are so thin on details 🙈 kudos for having patience with hand stitching too. The end result looks fabulous 💙

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! It's true, it's interesting to see what they assumed you would know back then! Appreciate you watching!

[@josiesilva4077]

Hi Lauren! I love the dress and the slip together. It looks so perfect. I'm in love! I'm also in love with the white top you have on throughout the majority of the video. Is it diy'ed, store-bought, or thrifted? It's beautiful. I'm looking forward to your Fall projects!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Josie! That top is from the new Laura Ashley x Joanie Clothing collection! My one piece I ordered from that line and I love it!

[@judithorr7580]

Love your dress. You did a great job on your slip. What is the name and artist of the background music? It certainly is a mood.

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! The artist is Niklas Gabrielsson with Martin Landström & His Orchestra!

[@Homemadebybabygirl]

Hello happy sewing

[@LaurenJohnson]

Hi there, same to you!!

[@oldfashiondolls]

It turned out stunning! Do you think I could sew up that slip pattern and I use it as a nightgown? Or would it be too fragile? I think it would look charming with a kimono style robe. Maybe make up the slip in a solid color and do the kimono in a big floral print.

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!! I think this would be perfect for a nightgown-- I'm considering that myself!

[@thefruitofherhome]

Stunning!!😍

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!!

[@EdenYell]

I get that French seams might make the under-bust stitching a little bulky but I so badly want to do French seams with the slippery fabric instead of top stitching

[@LaurenJohnson]

Yes! I was so torn with how to handle that-- might try again and see how it goes with a French seam. Thanks for watching!

[@EdenYell]

@@LaurenJohnson maybe I'll do it first and tell you how badly I messed up 😂

[@slbols]

Love the final look!!! Also obsessed with the white blouse in the intro! Did you make that one?

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! I bought that blouse recently from the new Laura Ashley X Joanie collection!

[@lauratenreiro]

Amazing! So beautiful! Very interested in what is to come and a close up of your sewing machine! I am looking to buy a new one and I am lost...😅

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Laura! My machine is a very old one from my grandmother, but I love it! I'll share a look at it soon :)

[@sewsewsewist785]

Beautiful and i love the background music. What exactly is playing?

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you! It's called I Realised I'm in Love by Daniel Gunnarson. :)

[@cor3944]

very nice fabric and nice work! ❤where did you get that pattern?

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! It's from Lady Marlowe patterns-- they do a lot of vintage reproductions!

[@nancyblumberg4612]

Wondering why you didn’t go with a lace hem? Did you have many fitting to get the straps the right length?

[@LaurenJohnson]

Since I was already a little stressed about sewing this fabric, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, but a matching lace would be so pretty! 🩵 I was happy with the fit without having to make alterations!

[@AnniCarlsson]

Looking good. Wanted to make one but not find good fabric in decent price in my stores. Would it make it to bulky to line the top area to get the raw edges away?

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! I think as long as you have a fluid and light fabric, it wouldn't be too bulky!

[@jstrav88]

Did you make your blouse? It’s really pretty

[@LaurenJohnson]

I bought this one from the recent Laura Ashley x Joanie Clothing collab! Thank you!
