Today I am sewing a overall with pockets and a skirt from the 1970s and a button down dolman sleeve blouse from the 1950s. l am using two fabrics that I bought secondhand, one from thrifting and another from my local creative reuse center Seattle Recreative. I used Simplicity 7006 for the overalls and Advance 8058 for the blouse.

I'm 60... that is exactly perfection 70s look. We liked overall looks for some reason.

Overalls are fantastic so I can't blame the 70s for loving it!

I just bought a 300 page sewing book from the seventies, the illustrations, pictures and patterns are awesome!! 🎉

A perfect 70s outfit. Even the reveal music is a perfect fit. Tips for attaching the collar (and other curved pieces) without tucks. Use lots of pins and roll the seam area like it will curve over the body. Start pinning at the center of the seam and work out to the ends of the seam. Also, start sewing the seam at the middle and go to the end. Then center to the other end. The more you do those kind of seams, the better you will get at it. Edited to add the sewing tip.

Thank you I'll have to give it a try!

Both of those turned out great! I'm going to start looking at a cost breakdown of my garments too; that's my favorite part of your channel. Fast fashion has really devalued people's perception of what quality clothes cost to make, and that making clothes is a skilled job... no one looks at anyone in the trades and assumes they will work for free or less than they are worth (cue sexism and pay gap between men and women)....

@HaleyMarieVintage 4 ай бұрын

Thanks! And yes cost breakdown has become one of my favorite things too, and I feel like it has changed my relationship with what I make and the rare occasion I do buy new

Beautiful. so well done. I followed and watched every step. Yes, we wore jumpers in the 70s. I Cannot believe the pattern prices though!!!! wow. I make a lot of clothing for me, kids, babies, and casual wear. Thank you for bringing this to the public that does not sew!!

Yeah vintage patterns for overalls are no joke price wise!

that is SOOOO 70's... I'm 63 I had such a hard time finding clothes in the 70's....the clothes were made so small and there were no options for plus size....it was hell, My mother didn't sew, and my experience in high school home-ec with the bullying about the size of my pattern pieces, and the fact that the teacher who measured me, a humiliation in itself, had me get a size 2 sizes too big...I wouldn't wear it to school, which would have brought about even more bullying, well that turned me straight off sewing. after seeing yours and Stephanie's experience in at that sewing meet, I relived all that angst....at least I enjoy watching sewing, it is hard for me to even try to make something, which is sad, I actually remembered putting all the pieces together, was fun, although I only sewed on it during lunch when I could be by myself.....no eyes looking at my "large" pattern pieces...

@HaleyMarieVintage 4 ай бұрын

UGH I am so so sorry that happened to you, I cannot imagine making fun of someone for having large pattern pieces. I'm glad you enjoy watching sewing and hope one day you heal enough to be able to sew

May I recommend Sewing with Nancy's Legacy. Prior to watching sewing on KZfaq channels I used to watch Sewing with Nancy on PBS back in the day when she was alive. I am sure once you watch some of her videos 📹it might help you out on some of your sewing projects when you find yourself in a bind🙂. Even modern cooks would every now and then defer to Julia Child for cooking refreshment. Otherwise I love your videos and I have every confidence in your sewing abilities 😊. Oh by the way there's no such thing as too many sewing videos😊.

Hi Haley! I just ordered overall buttons from Citron Jeans. They’re double pronged and supposedly easier to use. It is a Japanese website but once you put on google translate it’s easy enough to navigate. You just have to make sure you select international payment and PayPal. The owner will email you the invoice later. The overall buttons were highly recommended to me by another sewist!

@armedvsokord 4 ай бұрын

The sticky out things for the skirt are a placket. Just a different style than maybe your used to. I've seen them a lot in more historical styles like 1890s and earlier. You can put them on anything to avoid gaps.

Love the pieces! The blue goes so well with this season so perfect timing. I can’t wear light colours because I just make a mess and am around vehicles for my daily work so I appreciate that you think to dye it! I have a large collection of pieces from my vintage shop I need to do the same with, so it’s nice to see someone suggesting the reuse of the garment with some modifications instead of trashing/donating :)

@HaleyMarieVintage 4 ай бұрын

I have only started dying things recently once I figured out how easy it is to salvage a garment using it!

This is so cute! I absolutely love button detailing on the sides. It’s one of the cutest detailings ever. It’s also really awesome that it was under 75 dollars for the whole look though cuz sometimes I feel like sewing can run so expensive for a single project Also absolutely love your hair!

@HaleyMarieVintage 4 ай бұрын

I've been trying to make every third project I make show the more affordable part of sewing, it is fun to make pretty flashy things but if you're clever about getting fabric secondhand it can be pretty cheap.

@MichelleSMV 4 ай бұрын

@@HaleyMarieVintage I love that you’re doing that. I really hope it encourages more people to pick up sewing (I love doing it myself). I moved recently but I’m hoping I can find some vintage or second hand fabrics and notions

I LOVE THIS! I have the same length style you do, it either has to be above or below the knee. I need to find this pattern so I can make this for myself. Thanks for the tutorial. I just found you and really enjoy your content.

I used to redo tricky or bulky seams a lot & after I started basting them I never do. I'm a huge fan of hand basting it makes more sense than machine basting. I'm like, if you're worried everything will move under the machine why trust it to baste all the layers right?😂😂

@HaleyMarieVintage 4 ай бұрын

That makes total sense, I should hand baste more often!

Try an oxi clean soak on the turmeric stain. I wonder if the buttons could be saved with super glue on the cracks? I like this outfit. Very cute and versatile pieces.
