Day 7: Wishes & Wants Currently I want to make more basics and separates. I've always been more of a dress girl. I need more pieces that I can create separate outfits with. I especially need more "boring" basic pieces. Once I started sewing I realized I could make all the cute novelty pieces I wanted to create. Even when I started wearing vintage I started buying pieces that don't all go together. So I need pieces that are in browns, blacks, whites and reds. I also want to become more patient and a better sewist but that only comes by with practice. • • • #thevintageSEWINGchallenge #sewingproject #sewing #sewingproject #sewingclothes #sewingclothing #sewistsofinstagram #vintageclothing #vintagesewingpatterns #fashion
Day 6: Pride & Accomplishments #thevintageSEWINGchallenge I haven't done all that much, yet I have since I've only been doing this for a couple years. This past year I've probably made the most progress on my sewing skill. Especially with my now finished and almost finished projects, I did all different types of closures, I usually only use zippers. I've been able to create about 5 pieces for myself this summer. That's a lot for me. I'm not one of those sewist who can whip something out in a day or an hour. But, maybe that will be my next goal! I have so much to do until I can get to where I want and excited to keep practicing and learning how to get there... no matter how frustrating it is. • • • #sewingproject #vintagesewing #sewing #sewistsofinstagram #sew #madebyme #playsuit #twopiece #fashion #gingham #noveltyprint #novelty #springfashion #summerfashion
Day 5: Coloriffic! #thevintagesewingchallenge The color I'm choosing is yellow! Before this summer, I didn't even think I could pull off this color. Until I found out and I went straight to the fabric store, so I could make a dress 💛 And I LOVE it!! The bust is a little wonky but I have no boobs soooo that's always an issue 🤷‍♀️but this is now one of my favorite dresses. The pattern I used was New Look 6391, it's an occasion dress pattern. But I used cotton. I just wanted something simple to make in a couple days (actually only took 2-3). Which is really fast for me!
Day 4: Dream Fabric #thevintageSEWINGchallenge actually not so much a fan of vintage fabrics, some of them yes I love but I don't really care either way. Though I'm always attracted to novelty prints and florals! They're my favorite vintage fabrics. I should have more basics-but that isn't much fun is it?!
Day 3: On The Cutting Table I'm currently still trying to figure out this 1960s pattern for a shirtdress, I have about 4 more steps to do, yet they're so confusing and I don't understand half of it 😅 reasons why I'm still trying to make it. The other two things I'd like to make before the summer end are a 1940s blouse and a 1960s babydoll pj set. • • • #thevintagesewingchallenge #vintageclothing #vintagesewing #sewing #sewingchallenge #sewingproject #vintagesewingpatterns
Day 2 of #thevintageSEWINGchallenge The Zone This is my work space that I do all my sewing now (it's really messy outside of this picture 😅). This summer I finally created this space for myself. I have a pretty long desk and chair- both antiques! And I have drawers for my patterns, fabrics and accessories. It's the perfect little nook. My must have is Cheezits and music! Gotta snack while I sew. • • • #sewing #sewingspace #sewingvintage #sewingproject #sewingprojects #cheezits
Starting a day late for #thevintageSEWINGchallenge thank you @shopmakethislook @iliveinmylab and @wearinghistory Day 1: It Me, Plus Some Hey! My names Alyssa, I've been sewing on and off for about 3-4 years now. I'm probably in the beginner to intermediate stage, even though I like to think and try to create things out of my comfort zone. I've only been sewing vintage for the past year or so, but I definitely love it! And have been creating more items because of it. My favorite things to make are vintage play suits-with my own spin on them. I have two completed and one on it's way. I also enjoy sewing dresses, though they're a lot more effort and frustration, but I try! I should sew more separates in the future, full skirts are simple, though I still haven't made any 😅🤔 (besides those attached to dresses). I hope I gain more knowledge and keep at it, sewing can be frustrating and confusing. But definitely worth it in the end!
