Fun Video - Draping "Young Victoria" inspired bodice

Hello everyone!

I've put together a quick video of me draping the "Young Victoria" inspired bodice. This is my first video. So I hope you all like it. I would like to try and do more videos for the blog - hopefully sometime soon. =) I also want to thank my readers who helped me out with my movie editing question earlier. Thank you!

Sneak Peek - "The Young Victoria" inspired costume

Yesterday afternoon I drapped the bodice of my newest costume of the year! {see picture above.} Like my only costume so far in the year 2010!

This is the dress I'm getting my inspiration from. It is from the movie, The Young Victoria {2009}.

I hope to have more pictures and maybe, video of me making the dress later today, or later this week. =)

I do have one question. Do any of you know how to speed up a video using a macbook? The video clip I have is 25 minutes long. I would like to show that same clip in a shorter time frame - like 10-15 minutes. Any ideas?

{1944} Jumper, Dress, and Skirt all-in-One

 

Pattern: Simplicity 1016 (vintage 1944) 

Pattern Sizing: Size 12 

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, in a way. I did do a few changes. =) 

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy to follow. 

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It can easily be a jumper, dress, or layer a shirt on top and you have a jean skirt. How fabulous to have a three-in-one pattern! 

Fabric Used: Denim from Marie-Madeline Studio. 

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthen the skirt an inch. Didn't add the sleeves nor the bow around the neckline. 

Would you sew it again? Yes, if I ever needed another one. Which I might, you never know. ;-) 

Would you recommend it to others? Yes, if you can find yourself a copy of the pattern.

Sew Through the Decades Challenge, Week Six: 1950's

Well, remember that 1950s pajama set I was making awhile back? I finally finished them. Even if they are a little late for the Sew Through the Decades Challenge on A Lemon Squeezy Home.  =) If you can't tell, I'm in a huge sewing mood right now. Which is great!

 Using "Ava Rose" fabric, vintage buttons, rick-rack from the 50s, and a vintage 1950s pattern. 

 

I love the finished result. Even though I did make a mistake with cutting out the fabric for the top. =)

Sew Through the Decades Challenge, Week Seven: 1960's

A Lemon Squeezy Home's, Sew Through the Decades Challenge is back! Well, it was back last week but I didn't get pictures until today. :p This week era was the 60's. I made this dress for my sister, Hanne-col.  Using out-of-print Simplicity 3559.  

This pattern was a piece of cake to use. Even with those long darts that I tend to not like to sew. Don't know why. I would highly recommend this pattern. Just check the finished length before you cut out your fabric. =) I does run short - remember it's the sixties.
