Wow! I couldn’t believe it when I sat down and made a list of everything I made in 2020. It’s been the most productive sewing year of my life, and for that, I’m grateful. Let me do a little sew and tell for you, which will include a brief pattern review for each project and a link to each pattern and fabric (if they’re still available). Let the vintage sewing extravaganza commence!

I really enjoyed your breakdown of last year's makes. Your details on what went wrong, what you like, changes, goofs are all interesting and very nice. I just love your whole set up, production, clips, and pattern details. Sewing is in my family but I've only rudimentary skills as I've worked on social justice and trauma informed policies losing good useful skills. I'm barely back now to sewing my own mask pattern and hoping to relearn knitting (but this time european style). Love this and I'm a new fan. I'll be watching. Thanks.

If you were platinum blonde, you would so much look like Marilyn Monroe. Your hair is fabulous! Holy cow that sarong-type dress from March is AMAZING. Perfect fit. PERFECT. And your husband's Hawaiian shirt! WOW!! I love those brown pants you're wearing with the green peasant blouse. AND she knits. Again...WOW. That little sweater you knitted is again, perfection. What a fit! The brown blouse & trousers...SENSATIONAL! I think the crotch being low is what makes them look authentic because if you look at the old movies (we only watch movies from the 1930s-1950s), women's trousers seemed to fit like that a lot. I think they were making sure to NOT draw the eye to the crotch area on women when we first started wearing trousers, so they made them a bit loose. I think they look fantastic. The Christmas dress & bolero is just delicious! I love how you added the three little snowflakes on back. I am so impressed with your skill and absolutely inspired. Thank you for this video.

Thank you 🥰 It was so fun to see everything almost as a collection! I work in the sports industry as a full time graphic designer and illustrator, with some motion graphics and video occasionally. When I'm at the office I'm expected to wear business casual but it's definitely not too strict. As I mentioned in my video, I'll make sure to have my shoulders covered as I would in the office. Something like a rockabilly wrap top would definitely need a sweater or bolero. No shorts, but on Fridays we can wear jeans. We can wear golf attire any time. But since we've been working remotely most of the year, I've pretty much been wearing whatever I want and if I know I have a video meeting I'll make sure to look presentable, though I do usually get up and do my hair/makeup and get dressed because it makes me happy!

I've just made the Claire wrap top (after falling in love with your versions) out of a vintage cotton bed sheet & doubled it up just like you did with the other subversive femme pattern to make sure the white wouldn't be too see through (especially with a bra under)!

The pencil skirt, the minerva playsuit fabric and how the outfit looks, and the complicated September dress, unbelievable, another level. In terms of handwashing, i don't know if it's true, but i heard you can fold it carefully and put it in a pillowcase and wash it on 'gentle' or something in the machine. The problem with machines is more temperature i think like wool? But you were supposed to put your lingerie/ stockings and stuff in pillowcases, my friend kept an old one

Good Idea! Would help many probably! A good title? "Know your Body's shape!" The 1950s saw the most Elegant sewing creations of the Century! Post War fabric rations lifted, new types of fabric!, all so inspirational! I was born in 1950 and my mother and Grandmother's Made All my Cloypthes even my little underwear!! My Mother could see something in a big department store ,find a very similar pattern for her and us girls , and the next Day we were all dressed up! She still at 89 is an amazing Seamstress! Clothes today have little individual style and are just Ragged looking to me! ( I was spoiled in 1950-80s! So pleased you are interested enough to recreate your style after this amazing decade of fashion! Happy Sewing!♥️🤗🍂❤️

What a busy bee you were in terms of sewing! There are lots of lovely makes and a few of which I might want to do myself. Especially that lovely, lovely pencil skirt. I've got one myself, but it is really tight and I'd really like one that is a bit looser like the one you've got. Just tight enough that it shows off the hip curves and also gives enough room to walk in. However, I'm not that proficient in sewing yet and I don't feel ready for daring to sew actual clothes! I started familiarizing with my sewing machine a while ago and I've got a patchwork blanket that, admittedly, I have been working on and off for the past five or so years... I'm darn good at procrastinating - unfortunately. But I'll get it done soon, so I can use it in my sun room and go on to my next sewing project which will be a full circle skirt in navy. I hope that one is an easy enough project to get into clothes sewing. Looking forward to it!

@LizVonVillas 3 жыл бұрын

I think a circle skirt is the perfect first garment! Once you start you'll be so glad 😁 Don't be intimidated to sew clothes, just start with cheap fabric or even old sheets and play around. If you haven't watched my video about choosing a pattern size, that may be helpful!

I love your makes this year! For the "hip bubble/low butt fabric bubble" problem, look into a swayback adjustment. You are along the right lines in your thinking, and I have the same problem. But basically my back (and perhaps yours) curves in more and is less straight at the part going towards the hips/butt, so there is excess fabric in that area. There are ways to remove the fabric in drafting/from the pattern, or even make curved darts!

@LizVonVillas 3 жыл бұрын

I think the right solution is curved darts! I don’t need a swayback adjustment, I think my butt is just round 😂🍑 im going to use that 1957 skirt pattern as a block going forward! Thanks for watching 💕

That's too bad of that (Butterick 6700) out of print, what I'm I going to do now I liked that style, I'll have to try to make it without the pattern, I hope. I like your styles, you are a good dressmaker!

Hello! I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to re-set your hair. (so not on on the first day after washing, but on the second day) because for some reason I can get it to work with freshly washed hair, but not when theyre already curled. Thank you!

Thank you! I’m not sure what size I am in ready-to-wear. I haven’t gone clothes shopping in years. But in sewing, that also depends on the brand of pattern 😂 I can tell you my measurements. I’m 5’5”, upper bust is 35, full bust is 38, waist is 26.5, hips are 39.75. Hope that helps!

You're beautifully coiffed and are really creative in your pattern and fabric choices. The results are flattering and classic. I would subscribe to your channel, but unfortunately, I don't have your hourglass figure (I'm a a boy box with a butt, lol). I'll check in from time to time though. All the best for growing your chennel!!

You had a full time job at this time? You must have learned how to sew 🧵 long ago?! I guess if you learned it’s helpful this is a lot. Also a lot of pattern cost I like these styles! You must have a larger fabric budget too. I would like I get started. Any way love gives inspiration. Goals../ how to get started? And how do you get patterns where you don’t spend much?

@LizVonVillas Жыл бұрын

I learned the basics of sewing when I was 18, but I started sewing regularly in 2017. It took a couple of years to get comfortable with making fit adjustments. I had a full time job in 2020, but I was working remotely once the pandemic started so I had a lot more free time to sew! It became my outlet and was a good way to get through the early months of the pandemic. Don’t try to get all of your patterns all at once, just build up your collection over time. Wait for sales on Simplicity, look for second-hand give-always or yard sales, check Facebook marketplace. Fabric can be expensive but it doesn’t have to be if you look for deals and coupons. Make test versions of new patterns before cutting out your nice fabric. Good luck!! It’s worth the investment!

So probably a stupid question, but on your hogwarts themed dress... you said cotton flannel. Is that like the shirting flannel/ plaiditudes collection at joanns ? Or is it like their “snuggle” flannel? Beginner sewing here haha

@LizVonVillas 3 жыл бұрын

Not a stupid question 😁 It's similar to the Plaiditudes fabric, from what I can remember. It's thicker than quilting cotton, for sure. And a lot softer. It's not a fabric for warm weather, that's for sure. I linked to the actual fabric I used in the description 😊

YOUR A VERY BEAUTYFUL YOUNG LADY, I HAVE A LITTLE COMMENT TO MAKE THOUGH, AND I MEAN THIS IN NICEST WAY, IF YOU DO WANT TO MODEL YOUR CLOTHING IT WOULD MORE FLATTERING TO YOU IF YOU WOULD DO A LIITLE IRONING FIRST BEFORE YOU WERE THEM AND THEN THEY WOULD LIKE SO MUCH NICER ON YOU.

@LizVonVillas 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the compliments on my projects. I did iron a lot of these things before I made the video but I'm sure some of them weren't done as nicely as I'd prefer. I filmed these outfits for the video, and I have a full time job so I didn't have time to make sure everything was perfectly ironed! I also wear almost exclusively natural fibers, which tend to wrinkle quickly, so that's part of it. Thanks for watching!
