Join me as I sew my annual birthday dress! I'll be using a vintage sewing pattern and vintage fabric to create a unique dress. Follow along as I take you through the interesting construction of this 1950s sewing pattern, as I sew the dress from start to finish, with TONS of tips along the way. I love sewing myself a dress for my birthday each year! 🎂
