My 100 year old sewing machine can still Make a dress! Butterick B5970 

Whenever I see Ankara if feels like it needs to be on something grand to really show off all the details I feel like vintage or historic garments really give that opportunity.thank you so much

Thank you 💕💕 I really appreciate it

Omg thank you so much! So much work and effort went into the drama that was this dress.

Please do more videos using vintage/historic patterns with modern fabric. This video really touched a cord with me. You r creativity really highlighted the positives of the pattern and made it 21st century modern. And paired with your Ankara fabric, that out fit is a WOW.Congratulations of a job FABulously done!!

Thank you 💕💕 it really is. I need a proper table I might buy someone’s treadle art project off marketplace.

Thank you 💕❤️

Thank you so much. I would have done pastels if it were spring time and I had flowers to pose with.the bold print and vibrant colors really grabbed my attention.

Thank you so much love

Thank you so much! It’s totally worth doing at least once

Oh I really appreciate it thank you so much for watching 💕❤️

Thanks so much the issue isn’t the bulb the housing is broken. I have to buy a replacement. You can’t tell because we rigged it to stay put while I made this video but it’s broken

@@SewRena Oh. That's a little heartbreaking that the housing broke. I know I've seen 'replacement' part on the ebay and etsy. Hopefully the prices are still decent.

Thank you 💕❤️ it was a labor of love!

Thank you 🥰🥰

Thank you 💕 what a dream you’ll have to keep me updated on your progress. I hope to get a treadle one day

Ooo do you have any tips thus far? I just recently purchased a treadle sewing machine.

Thank you it really is a strong machine.

Thank you for watching 🌹

Thank you so much!!! I love the skirt so much I want to make another bodice eventually.

Oh thank you so much 💕💕! I was so confused at how things stayed in place with such short bodices.

Thank you 💕💕

Thank you so much and I really appreciate the tip 😂 I was totally doing the most, but also I purposely didn’t want to look up how it was done so it would give a more first impression feel to the video. Before making the dress all I did was practice stitches to fix the tension I will be doing it your way from now on. 💕

@@SewRena I am not sure if it is how they use to do it way back. But I read it in like a 50s sewing book talking about securing ends for things you wanted to turn. Also your dress came out absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth all the work to get the print the way you wanted it!

Thank you so much and welcome 💕❤️

Thank you so so much I’m so glad you are still using your grandma’s machine

Thank you

Thank you

I feel like I may have seen their work before in passing on Instagram. I’ll have to look them up thanks so much for the recommendation 💕

Thank you so much love ❤️💕

Thank you 💕💕

Thank you

Thank you so much 💕 I really appreciate it and WELCOME 🤗

Omg thank you so much for all 5 views!!! Second don’t give up just do a little at a time. If I remember it took me three weeks working in little sections. You got this I’m rooting for you. The jewelry is gonna set it off 🤩🤩🤩

@@SewRena I may or may not be on year 2 lol 😝. That being said, I have made a replica of the Met Museum combinations inspired by @Bernadette Banner (and nearly all of RU-vid/CosTube and fans of fashions from that era). I am also midway through a c. 1890s riding corset. I had to remake shied to a 60 pound weight loss from illness. I completed a petticoat with open sides and ties for closure to accommodate any future weight changes, and pockets! I do intend to add pockets to the dress, or at least access to pockets in the petticoat. I cheated much of the trim using ribbon from Dollar Tree (2 cases of ribbon came home with me lol). Now, we come to the greatest source of my procrastination the Lace! I knit and crochet and tat. So couldn’t find any lace that sparked joy, I made my own lace. I spent a year learning bobbin lace, I practiced creating lace on dryer sheets I could tear away after attaching to the top. I’m still not sure I’ve settled on all the choices. I don’t mind the time. I love the learning and the process.

Thank you! I’m going to try hooks and eyes

Thank you 💕💕💕

Thank you 🥰🥰

Thank you

Thank you so much welcome

Thank you 💕💕

Thank you so much! I was thinking about adding more hooks to keep the bodice and the skirt together. Or I might extend the binding on the bodice and make it more of a waistband. Thanks for the feedback
