The Haslam System of Dresscutting - Drafting a 1950s vintage slip

Ths video shows step by step how I used the Haslam system of Dresscutting to draft a simple 1950s slip pattern using my own measurements. If you're feeling brave enough, you'll be able to follow along with your meaurements to create your own, custom vintage slip pattern, perfect for wearing under vintage dresses. This video is also a good taster for how this system works in general if you've ever wondered where to start or got stuck with a project of your own.

Congratulations on the little one! We are excited for you! Oh, your teaching method is wonderful! You did so well in explaining the Haslam system. I loved the recaps because they were slightly different, but effectively clarified certain points. I can just imagine your four year-old designing haute couture for her mother! Be well, and I'm subscribed in the hope of seeing more content. 🙂

[@lindsaygoodwin3140]

Thank you so much! This made everything so clear. I can't wait to start my Haslam journey. More videos please!

[@funkypunkypine]

You are an utterly fantastic teacher. Thank you so much! I hope you come back :)

[@ladypinkbagsetc.9116]

Your clear explanation of this is wicked! Thank you so much… I am definitely having an ahhhhh moment!

[@Luna-jx2wm]

may I just say I love the editing of the video...

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou. That's really kind of you. It's fun to do as well.

I purchased this a few months ago but felt totally lost. Thank you for your step by step instructions. New subscriber here

[@atelierlimonova7882]

You're very welcome. I'm really glad it was helpful.

[@birchlanddesign7691]

Please take more videos, love watching them ❤️

[@atelierlimonova7882]

More coming soon. I've been out of action for a while but comments like yours are making me so excited to get back to filming. Thankyou for your support.

[@birchlanddesign7691]

@@atelierlimonova7882 my pleasure! Looking forward to them ❤️🌹

[@jelenadavydenko3906]

Your video was a pleasure to watch

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much! It was a lot of work but enjoyable to make. Unfortunately the next video in the series will be a bit delayed due to a wrist injury that means I'm not allowed to sew at the moment... But if it's taking too long to heal, I'll come up with something I can do in the meantime that doesn't involve sewing.

[@lachlanshepherd9652]

Sorry to be off topic but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

@Lachlan Shepherd Instablaster :)

[@lachlanshepherd9652]

@Oliver Davis thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@lachlanshepherd9652]

@Oliver Davis it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@TheSillyfrankie]

Great video, so well produced! I think that a slip sew along is a great idea :)

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou! I've been really enjoying learning to video edit. It's time-consuming but fun. I'll post more information about the sew-along soon.

[@randihardy6642]

this channel is so charming

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much

[@mjwillard1286]

wow! thank you so much! can't wait to see the next video and all of the ones following that.

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much for your support. I've been out of action for a whle, but seeing everyone's interest is a great booster and I'm really happy to be nearly ready to start my next video.

[@murrvvmurr]

Oh I have made this as a heatwave night gown. I made it using more traditional methods but it looks great, it's comfortable as I cut the back and front skirt bit on the bias. I might make another as a summer dress if I have time.

[@atelierlimonova7882]

That's such a good idea. I think I will cut mine on the bias too. I'm hoping to do that in the next video.

[@dlbaines]

These are great videos! Please post more.

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much for your support. I will be starting a new video very soon.

[@CountanceD]

Hope to see more videos soon. They’re really terrific!

[@atelierlimonova7882]

I've been unable to film for a while but I'm so excited to be starting again soon. Everyone's comments have been so encouraging while I've been away. Thankyou for the support.

[@noblemily]

Thanks, I bought the book and this is the easiest tutorial I can find.

[@atelierlimonova7882]

That's very kind of you to say. I'm really glad to hear it was helpful and I'm looking forward to doing more.

[@dianadivadiamond]

Your videos are a great pleasure to watch.

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Glad you like them!

[@ChrissieXYZ]

Love your video, so professional & easy to understand. I have the Surefit Designs pattern system which would seem to follow similar principles, & their Design Stylus is very much like the Haslam template. Very glad I found you on KZbin.

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much for your comment. It's really encouraging to know the videos are easy to understand and helpful.

[@carlabiggs2651]

Love your videos!! Can't wait to see the next one, thanks so much for making these! :) :)

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much. So glad you like them :)

[@WaterNai]

This was delightful and informative. I look forward to when you are able to release some more videos.

[@jolineantheajammer]

Your videos are swell! Very helpful and I love your create touches. Please do more. I will give this slip pattern a go. I’ve been curious of this system for a while and I hope you explore it more - and do more videos :-)

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much for your comment. I'm really glad the videos have been helpful and enjoy the video design side of things too. I'll definitely be continuing with this slip very soon and I'm glad to hear others are keen to try it out too.

[@joannemcmillan9201]

I came across one of these patterns on Pinterest. Looking forward to trying this system! I’ve already subscribed and binged watched you. Keep it coming!!

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much! I've been out of action for a while but I'm excited to get back to filming very soon.

[@io20501]

Great video. I just purchased a booklet and it has a slip that I will try using your video. Thank you!

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou very much! And good luck with your slip.

[@sueanngardiner6161]

WOW! what an amazing video!!! well done. This makes me want to get mine out again and retry to make something lol I can't wait for your next video.

[@junelovell1189]

I'm enjoying your videos very much. Please provide links in your notes for lazy people like me.

[@atelierlimonova7882]

[@nancysturm9162]

So looking forward to your next video. Hope it will be soon. ?

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Thankyou so much for your comment. I know it's been a long time since my last video! Unfortunately I haven't been able to film for a while now, but I'm really glad to be ready to start putting my next video into production very soon.

[@tsb6210]

After seeing this video, I do love to buy one . Recently I am checking which is realistic material for me to go back to sewing. I think this is the one. Your teaching is amazing. Looking forward to seeing more and more. How could I purchase in the market? Thanks and take care!

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Really glad to hear that you are interested in the Haslam System. Etsy is a great place to get digitised versions of the drafting books. "Mrs Depew" is a great seller on Etsy and has a lot of Haslam material available.

[@jordisbraun4985]

It looks to me like the German Lutterloh System.

[@Cebake]

How so?

[@iknowyouwanttofly]

Maybe I am stupid but can you after learning haslam drafting use it on your own designs or just the supplemental ones you can buy?

[@igorsilva-ty4ck]

I really wanted to use this method here in Brazil have a PDF file ???

[@atelierlimonova7882]

Try Mrs Depew Vintage on Etsy. She has a wide selection of Haslam publications available for instant download as PDFs. There are also other online sellers but I haven't bought from anyone else so I can't recommend them from personal experience. I hope you find something that works for you and good luck with getting started. I'll be making more videos in future on different aspects of the system so hopefully I'll be able to offer you more useful insights too.
