It's Gunne Saxmas! I was finally able to complete my plus size Gunne Sax style dress thanks to the gracious help of my sister, Rachael, and my mom due to my chronic back pain. This video is part vlog, part pattern making drafting tutorial and I think it is a beginner friendly sewing project. Thank you for joining me here on CosTube for my sewing adventures! Don't forget to check out @MaireColclough and her great video about getting organized when you have multiple crafty hobbies!
