In today’s video, our customer requested that I create a vintage-style robe using an antique McCall’s printed pattern book. I also used a vintage taffeta fabric. It is a long video filled with loads of useful sewing tips!

I bought the children’s version of this pattern at a second hand shop. I was stuck and was so glad to find your video. Thank you!

Impressive! I want to make one for my husband and it's been a year, it's still in the form of fabric and threads in the closet..... haha.... But watching your video is giving me a little motivation and confidence. Maybe I will try to get this pattern! :) Thank you!

That was so great to see you go through the entire pattern process. I've been sewing with patterns since I was about 12 and they still sometimes confuse me, especially now since upcycling and knocking off patterns lends more to making it up as you go. You did a great job with the vintage instructions!

My mom always had me iron her pattern pieces before she laid them out - which I loved to do. Then she was sure that her fabric was cut accurately. Also, the pattern tissue then had a little static cling and would stay flatter on the fabric as she pinned the pattern on.

Foolish question, but why cardboard as a pocket stiffener? I can't imagine using a paper on a robe, because I do occasionally wash mine. Is it aimed, because of the fabric, that it'll be dry-clean only? Or did I miss when you swapped cardboard for a stiff interlining? Thank you for answering my confusion! 😊

@gracieallen8285 4 жыл бұрын

You can iron the pattern pieces, on a cool setting to take out the folds in the pattern, next time.

@DowntownTailoring 4 жыл бұрын

Yes thank you for the tip! I was too scared to do it because it belongs to a customer and it’s vintage haha!

@gracieallen8285 4 жыл бұрын

Downtown Cobbler, I never thought of the age of the pattern. I’ve ironed new patterns but I’ve never worked with vintage.

@juniorakasuperman 3 жыл бұрын

How much did it cost to make that pattern ?

@RuebenOtero 3 жыл бұрын

This is what I'm wondering! The amount of skill and the time it took, that was surely expensive and rightly so

Hello, How could I get a copy of the pattern ? Thank you.

@TheBLGL 6 ай бұрын

It might be a vintage pattern, but it looks exactly the same style as the robe I’m wearing right now. It’s not like they have changed much over the years, short of the material they’re made of.

Right! The design hasn’t changed throughout the years 🥰

It would be AWESOME if you could scan the pattern and upload a digital copy on Google drive! It's such a shame these older patterns are getting harder to get.
