How To
Now that you have all of the necessary materials and pattern sizes, it's time to get started on your sewing project! First, take a look at the pattern instructions and start by cutting out your fabric pieces. Be sure to cut on the grainline and mark the notches and darts to ensure everything lines up correctly when you start sewing. Once you've cut out all of your fabric pieces, it's time to start sewing!
Begin by assembling the dress bodice, and make sure you use interfacing to add structure where necessary. Then, attach the dress skirt, and add pockets if desired. Next, sew the sleeves and collar or V-neckline to the bodice, and attach the waistband. Finally, sew the zipper or buttons to the back of the dress, and finish by hemming the sleeves and skirt.
For the coat, start by assembling the body and sleeves, and attach the collar and cuffs. Then, add pockets and sew the lining to the coat. Finally, sew the buttons or zipper to the front of the coat, and hem the sleeves and coat bottom.
Congratulations! You've just completed your vintage sewing project and created an amazing outfit that's bound to turn heads. Be sure to show off your creation and wear it with pride!
