- Secret Sewing CHALLENGE! In this week's video, I paired up with Jennifer from A Vintage Vanity to do a secret sewing challenge.
We sent each other a mystery box of vintage fabric, a pattern and vintage notions, and we were only allowed to use what was INSIDE each box. I was sent a 1950's vintage sewing pattern (McCall's 5471, bust 40"), some modern Joann's tree print cotton, a polyester zip and vintage notions. Come with me as I show you how I make a vintage dress from this exciting vintage mystery box. I will show you how I made this dress and tips to avoid making the same mistakes I did.
Vintage pattern used: McCall's 5471
Fabric: Joann's
Notions: poly zip, vintage button and vintage belt buckle.

Lol, I got genuinely excited for that subscription box for a hot second.
You know, I am thinking about doing a few limited releases, since I have SO much in stock.
Haha, me too!
@@StephanieCanada a mystery sewing sub box is...on point for how I want to spend my money. Just saying.
@@StephanieCanada yes!!!! That would be amazing
I would LOVE that!! Take my money Stephanie!!
Finally found the origin of the awesome green tree dress! Love this pattern and the fabric choice so much
I love how you always seem to make a dress out of all the mayhem.
Aww thank you so much! And my partner can attest that every sewing project is the same way.
BAHAHA this is the most accurate description of Stephanie's (extremely enjoyable) sewing videos ever and I love it.
Ms Green what a joy this was
You always say not to notice the mess but I love it. My house looked the same for years and I was shamed for it. I had little kids and a full time job. Actually, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference how old the kids are😂. I don't come here to see your house. I'm here, because I enjoy your content and your no fear of house mess and lack of makeup. It's super refreshing.
I cannot tell you how much I love how this dress looks on you!!! You did an amazing job!!!
I had to leave some suspense for you! 😉
You picked an amazing fabric!
@@lauracarrier6158 Thanks! I'm so glad I took a chance. I kept going back to the fabric and finally said trust your gut! I may also have said who doesn't want to look like a gorgeous walking painting! ❤️
You're adorable I'm going to subscribe because of this collab ❤
@@AllTheCloudsArePink aw...thank you so much! It was such a fun collab and Stephanie is so fabulous to work with!!
I love that I’m seeing this particular show. That green is my favorite dress I’ve seen I wear. So
Cool
That fabric is gorgeous, looks like a garden
That dress turned out absolutely beautiful. I love love love the pattern and the fabric, and it looked awesome on you.
Ms Green, your creation is so perfect! Thanks for Sharing with us. Greetings from East Orlando!
That pattern is to die for - like a painting by Monet! 😍
Right! I loved the pairing! Jennifer did a great job!
There was a legit SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! coming out of the house that the neighbors heard when she opened it!
It’s such a perfect dress for the Flower and Garden Festival! It was so great to run into you there. :)
It was such an absolute pleasure meeting you too! Sorry I was a complete doof about it. It is still hard to understand that folks could recognize me.
Love the fabric she sent you, just beautiful.
Yes! A Vintage collab for the ages!
Thank you so much! It was a blast!
That's beautiful Ms. Green.
Ms. Green! Had a couple giggles 😃
Hey Ms. Green, love your chaos, found you after your colab with The Stitchery ☺
"I think I blew snot out my nose" OMG.
Ms. Green and alllll.
Yup. Real life baby
Vintage sewing and Loki? You have made my ANZAC Day holiday!
That will be that next "make and watch" for SURE!
Ms. Green that is a beautiful dress!! I love your energy and enjoy your videos so much.
I want to thank you again to A Vintage Vanity for doing this super collab with me. Check out her video here: czcams.com/video/8LjKILt0z34/video.html
Miss Green would love that dress!
Miss Green was SO LOVELY!!! No one would ever guess! Love this pattern!
Thank you so much Michelle!
dangit! 🤣stop trolling me i got so excited!
Wow! What a perfect dress to wear to the garden show!
Thank you so much Cheryl!
I love the dress... and perfect stop at the garden.
You are a Hulk Hogan Rebel with that cotton fabric! Lol!
I laughed all the way thru this video!!! Love your quick wit!!
Absolutely love Ms Green! And that dress is fabulous!
Thank you so much! And it really has become an immediate favorite.
This was so much fun! It was great to see what you made.
I'm going to be on the hunt for this pattern now for sure! Nice peek of Ms Green and love the Star Trek shirt.
Hello! Here from A Vintage Vanity.
I will sit through anything for ..... sigh Karl Urban sigh ..... all is forgiven. 😁
Ms. Green 👍
Us Vintage Vanity folks have good taste...sigh...Karl Urban but also...sigh...Tom Hiddleston
Thank you!
Yes, heat resistant tape like they do when holding down vinyl on a T-shirt, etc. Then you can iron right over it when you iron your copy of the pattern and put it away.
I am in love with this material and the pattern. Wow girl you did that pattern justice. I love your channel you make me laugh all the way thru. Thank you.
Thank you so so much!🥰
Miss Green
That dress looks great on you!
Great dress Miss Green. I love watching your vintage channel.. you inspired me to make a Christmas walk away dress. That was fun.
Fabric is called Magical Forest Premium Cotton on Joanns if anyones wondering
Oh thank you! I meant to hike my skirt up and check out the name (seriously because I left all the selvedges).
Ms. Green, this is lovely 💚
Miss Green in one of my favorite places!
Love this dress and the skirt is twirlific....
If anyone fell in love with the cut of the black dress towards the beginning of the video like I did, it's a Trashy Diva brand dress in the Cage cut! That style dress is no longer available on their website but I'm seeing a decent amount available secondhand online. I immediately purchased one so I can take it apart, convert it into a pattern, and make my own in a fabric I love!
I saw you wearing this dress in another video and I thought it looked really cute！ So this dress was born from a challenge, great choice and execution !!
Ms. Green, fabulous!
From the title I thought it was gonna be like, sewing from a pile of loose pattern pieces with no instructions or pattern envelope, and I was excited for the pure chaos of that concept. This was really fun too, though!
Ms. Green. And you look darling in the dress!
Thank you so much Elizabeth!
I LOVE your "stupid" intros! Keep up the great sarcasm😆
What a fun swap
So much fun!!! And I loooooove the dress! It turned out so good!!
Thank you so much Jessica!
Miss Green!!!
Miss Green love it
Ms. Green! Love your dress! Beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Just love the sarcasm! However, your sewing is getting better along with checking the instructions - even after the fact.
Thank you so much! Yes, I do usually read the instructions, but my last sewing project was "using a pattern without instructions" and so I may have forgotten that I was allowed to look at them.
Watched, and now I need to see the collaboration video :) Ms. Green
What a lovely dress Mrs. Green. ❤️
Thank you so much Crystal!
You looked positively lovely! Great job on your dress!
Thank you so much! It really did turn out great!
love the fabric...it is something I would get..dress is fantastic. the like to the other lady is coming up as private for me.
Hers is coming soon! We went to publish together and hers came up with an issue and mine was already live. Should be up in about an hour!
Love the under color thingy you did. I may do that to jazz it up a bit!😜
I would love to have copies of the old patterns, like take the pattern and draw it on the pattern fabric and bam you got a another pattern
Ms. Green 😂😂😂 great video Stephanie, that dress is lovely on you.
Thank you so much Eleanor! I do really enjoy it.
Love this 2 of my favorite creators!!! 💚💚💚
Huzzah! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Stefanie, when you wash the fabric do some vinegar in the water and the colours will stay., you maybe already know this trick, but there it is anyway.
Thank you! I did indeed know that, but still forget to do it most times.
Ms. Green. LOL!
I Love your Star Trek shirt! I actually made a Corset of the same material back in 2019 and wore it to a Star Trek Orchestra Show
How cute!!!
Ms. Green! fantastic!
Miss Greene. Loved your Clue series!
Thank you so much Sheri! That means the world to me.
You looked so gleeful tearing the fabric, lol! Loved this whole project.
Oh it was glorious!!!
What a fun video to watch. Love your dress.
Thank you so much Anne!
I want that fabric!😍😍😍
You should obviously do this its brilliant
The secret sewing box? I am actually thinking about it.
Lovely work and to see Ms Green was chef's 💋
Thank you Lauren! And I tried to be sneaky about it.
I love your Starship Enterprise shirt! Live long
Thank you so much Christena!
I am obsessed with your channel
Aww, that is so sweet! Thank you!
I love this dress!
Seriously I would sub to this box! That's amazing
Thank you Krista! I am thinking about it, but it would be very limited as I am only one person doing all this. 😂
Oh i wish I could get a subscription box like that! ☺️
I am trying to figure out mystery boxes of something similar.
THAT INFOMERCIAL AT THE BEGINNING THO OMG
I would 100% buy a secret sewing box, not gonna lie. Maybe not for $999 a year tho bahahha
Thanks! I am thinking about doing a limited option for that service.
I'm a lifetime member of that club... It's a hilarious infomercial, lol. I love it.
Thank you so much Nina!
@@StephanieCanada I would totally be up for a project like this! Sew many patterns, sew much fabric, sew little time...
Ms. Green..... what a fun video!
Thank you so much!
Ms. Green! Very cute! What a fun way to help our friends push each other out of our comfort zones!
I thought so too Robin! Thank you for watching.
Omg that’s so cute!!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸
i love ms. green!
I love how you just go for it edited to say the dress looks incredible ms green xx
Thank you so much Beverley! I really do enjoy this one a lot!
You are such a hoot!!!!
It turned out so perfect!!
Okay, but vintage subscription sewing boxes would be amazing... though the exchange rate to The True North, would make $84/month so brutal
Also Ms Green was so complimentary!
I actually have been thinking about it. I have SO much inventory... so maybe. (and no it wouldn't be that much).
I really want that Carousel fabric though. Haha
Fab - just fab.
Birdy
Thank you so much Lisa!
Mystery solved for me (the source of that awesome green fabric). She mentions you sew with vintage sheets? Interestingly, my first thought when I saw you in this print in another video was "I don't remember Burlington making that pattern".
Two of my favorite CZcamsrs . ❤️That dress turned out fabulous Ms. Green. I love the dress. I’m going to head over to Jennifer’s video to see her results. Best duo ever.
Aww yeah!! Thank you so much!
I love the dress...it looks fab on you
Yeah, i would tottaly buy that😊
So stinking cute!!!
Thank you so much!
Ms. Green! love this content!
😊 love that Ms Green 😂
Thank you so much!
The dress looks darling on you.
Thank you Mary!
Why yes yes Ms Green.
Thank you Marsha!
I loved the dress, but I want to see you do the belt.
Ms. Green is awesome!
Thank you!!
Ms. Green, you really outdid yourself! I love how the dress turned out!! And your reveal location was just perfect!
Thank you so much Liz!
