Finished this flannel dress just in time for summer. 😂Dreamt up and designed the pockets on my own. Excited that something I came up with worked out how I saw it in my head. Dress pattern came from a Japanese Sewing Pattern book, think maybe Pochee. #slowfashion #imadethat #sewist #japanesepattern

1950s dress made with a Vintage Simplicity pattern. I’m thrilled that it fits my friend like a glove! I knew Cress would rock this dress in this fabric. #sewing #slowfashion #1950style #retrostyle #vintagepattern #vintagesimplicity

My most recent project is done and has arrived at its new home on the other side of the country. Glad to report that it fits my friend perfectly! Thank you for trusting me to make you this awesome dress. #sewing #vintagesimplictypatterns #1950vintage

Whelp, the GOP is directly quoting Nazi propagandists during session. I cannot believe this is my country.

Progress on current project. Added waist ties and bias tape this weekend. Next weekend will be pockets, hem, and snaps. Making my own bias tape is tedious, but always worth it. #vintagesewing #vintagesimplicity #slowfashion

First time doing a commissioned project. Same dress as last week, different fabric. I think the pattern on this fabric is amazing for this 1950 vintage Simplicity pattern. Hoping to finish next weekend. Stay tuned! #slowfashion #vintagesewing #sewing #vintagefashion
