Sewing project under $40: Eyelet Peasant shirt & Skirt Set | Vintage sewing project + sew with me

[@amandaglidewell8451]

I was soooo excited to see you have a new pleater! I sew heirloom so this is something I use all the time. The KZbin channel “Sarah classic sewing” has tons of videos of very thorough detailed pleater instructions, she covers literally everything And “pink holly bush designs” also has some pleater tutorials and sells replacement needles that work in the pleater you have. Both of the women have been pleating and smocking for many years and every time I see someone who is doing some type of heirloom sewing I send them over. The dress was gorgeous and I love seeing people using the pleaters in more than just little baby and children clothing.

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks! And yes I plan on doing some smocking in the future on adult clothing because it is so cool and I took a class and it is right up my alley!

[@SewSewDrew]

I would wear this everyday!

[@debraanneclark2188]

So pretty and perfect for a summer dress. The fabric was beautiful and the lace edging really lent itself to the trim

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@RhymingMime]

Lovely, I like the way the straight edge ended up looking on the sleeves

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@ReneesatItAgain]

Love the light and soft look of this dress! Beautiful fit too!! I still can't tell you from the flowers!

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@Noelle9628]

This is one of the cutest things you’ve made! Adorable 😊

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks!

[@collfitzpatrick]

Love these perspectives on including our labor costs too!!! It's good hard work, and I'm so glad you share it with us :)

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks! And yes it is hard work and we need to think about our work and time more intentionally!

[@katwitanruna]

Love those sleeves!!

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@vernieplummer5148]

Wow, that dress is so beautiful. I’m amazed at how the sleeves came out. I was sure they wouldn’t look very good but they certainly do.

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks! And yeah I was nervous about the sleeves but ended up loving them!

[@BethAge95]

This set is so cute! The fabric is gorgeous and it looks beautiful on it's own and will be so versatile under many items like pinafores, corsets, sleeveless dresses...

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

So versatile I am very pleased with it!

[@rinaeperron7746]

Thank you!

[@lesliejacobs3605]

I love the fabric and this set turned out beautifully ❤. Hugs to Spooky.

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks!

[@quazylade90]

Super cute. Such a happy find. I wish I could find more nice fabric in my thrift stores.

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

It takes time, for every piece I find like this I have months of finding nothing

[@pmclaughlin4111]

Reminds me I should really pull out my pleater. I went through a whole English smocking period. Wouldn't have thought to use it for this project but it does give me ideas.

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Yeah I feel like there are a lot of interesting ways to used a smocker pleater, idk if this on was it but I'm always on the lookout for ways to use it!

[@felinetherapy4782]

I love what you do and thanks for sharing on youtube. It means a lot. xxx

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@maribrown1361]

Love how the sleeves ended up! So flowy & breezy for the heat of summer. I've always loved eyelet fabric. It's so delicate.

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you! and me too I just have a hard time figuring what to do with eyelet sometimes

[@maribrown1361]

@@HaleyMarieVintage now we know! All the flowy, fluttery sleeves & breezy skirts!

[@Mamado88]

Always love the break down at the end ❤

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

I love doing them!

[@cherriesnhoney]

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks!

[@MarjorieComeau]

Really pretty!

[@user-yc4fz7vv6u]

sleeves turned out lovely

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks!

[@elisebachert6654]

Thank you so much for this! I’m considering making knitted and crocheted items for sale and this not only reinforces my thinking on prices but it helps me explain how I get to the numbers I’m thinking of!

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Yay! Glad I could help, make sure if you do decide to sell them to make sure you get paid your worth!

[@sewcute_sewvintage]

Very pretty! I sometimes like to use edge embroidery for sleeve ends. I just make it a tiny bit longer and add elastic about an inch or two up to get a poofy sleeve with a fun ruffle

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

That makes sense

[@SewSewDrew]

I love the gathering jus at the hips! I wanna try it! super flattering

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you! It is super easy to do and I find it very flattering!

[@lighteningbug]

I love the use of the eyelet for the bottom of the skirt and sleeves. It looks really comfortable, yet dressy on you and is very flattering. So pretty!

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@Thenocturnalstitcher]

Love the coffee themed fabric of the dress you are wearing. Love it all!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@paranormalnora]

I love your, "I did my research!" dance. 🙃

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Lol I love it when I rememeber

[@jenniferhill7224]

such a cute set

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thank you!

[@sarah-the-dog-lover]

Ooh, I’ve been looking for a smocking/pleater!

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

they are kind of harder than I thought they'd be to be honest lol

[@Catsface99]

Where did you get that cardigan with the snail buttons. It is so cute and to tell you the truth I LOVE bright pretty colors. NO grey in this girls house!!!

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

It is a christine foley, last time I looked there was one of these on poshmarks if you search her name it should pop up!

[@Catsface99]

@@HaleyMarieVintage I looked for one with snail buttons but unfortunately there isn't one. I almost bought one with Bee buttons very cute cardigan but then I saw it is a child's cardigan. Guess I will just keep an eye out. Thanks for replying. Take care love your videos.

[@katwitanruna]

Liked. Shared. Commented. Up the algorithm!

[@sallyeve4044]

Such a beautifully feminine dress and suits you perfectly.

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Thanks!

[@narlyenatvanya]

This is so beautiful! I love how it turned out, especially with the gathers at the hips only on the skirt. :D If you were going to add pockets to this, how would you have done that?

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

Just popped them in the seams, I do it in a lot of my videos just forgot to do it today.

[@Crazygardenlady]

Cute and comfortable looking! I love your shoes, where did you get them?

[@HaleyMarieVintage]

They are american duchess shoes, they're kind of expensive but if you have a good cobbler they last forever!
