How To Make a 1950's Blouse | Beginner Sewing Project

- This is a fantastic 1950's style sewing project for beginners! I made it with nothing but a pillow case and some thread. If you’re looking for a classy looking vintage style garment to make, but are newer to sewing, this is a perfect project for you! I've also discovered that the image I referenced is from 1960. But there are a lot of similar tops and dresses from the 50's as well. It very much epitomizes that sort of transitional period from the fashion of the 1950's to the 1960's.

I used your tutorial but miniature for a doll! It looks adorable and the advice and instructions given worked just as well for the doll’s size as a real person 😊 Thanks for the tutorial!
The fact that you made this out of a pillowcase is incredible! You've inspired me to try make one myself. 😊
Thanks! I’m so glad I could provide some inspiration!
Many of these vintage pieces are so beautiful I have never really stopped wearing them. They are classic! 💃💕
I love the fact that you repurposed a pillowcase! The color and tiny floral pattern were perfect. I didn't care for the front neckline, it looks like it would feel awkward. Thanks for the video
It was definitely a specific kind of neckline that was popular in the 50’s. It’s not for everyone, but I’m a fan.
Very well explained, bust darts made sense for me for the first time! Thank you!
I’m so glad I could help! It took me a while to figure out how to measure them too, until I learned about how bra cup sizes are determined by figuring out the difference between the bust and underbust and I was like 😱.
You need more room around the nipple depending on cup size
Good choice!!❤ Reminds me how Debbie Harry made one of her iconic outfits from pillow cases too!!
Such a great video. Thank you for sharing, lovely to see a young woman with so much elegance & class!
Lovely! 💗
I think this is a great video! Great for a newbie or beginner. I think you did a great job and nice job using a recycled item..
I made this, it was easy and came out so cute!
Very pretty blouse. Love the recycled pillow case.
Thank u about the info of what to where for the undergarments, cuz I was thinking of that question!
wonderful idea of upcycling a pillow case. very pretty
Thanks 😊

Good job my cousin
Thanks!
I have this pattern it's McCalls 5377. I appreciate your detailed guidance on making the bust darts right. Thank you.
This one is better than mine was. It has a shape
It’s mostly about having it tucked into the skirt honestly.
Everyone said I was so crazy. That a pillowcase. I just cut the top seem. And cut down the side seams tied it at the shoulders an I had a blouse
Information good friend
😊😊
Cute enough. I love your skirt.
You can do a bra shelf inside or maybe a canvisol.
Do you have a halter shirt video? If there's one in the vault, I'd love to watch 😍
I don’t unfortunately. I don’t really like halters myself because of how they pull my neck forward.
@@MirandaMilner that's understandable. I'm enjoying your elf series 💚

Thank you!
The only thing I'd critique are the darts. Try to sew more alongside the edge for a few stitches so you don't get the little bulk where the nipple is.
Could you use any kind of fabric for this design??
Pretty much. I mean, it would depend on how you want it to fall and the comfortability you’re okay with. And of course some fabrics are a way bigger pain to work with or fray a lot, but you could technically make it with just about whatever you want.
Hey cousin you just posted this
Honey, the very first thing someone needs to learn about begining to sew and getting a nice finished product is you spend more time ironing than sewing!!! Every seam and fold needs to be ironed as you go!!! It’s the difference between looking “homemade” and a professional finish. Pressing at the end is no substitute!!!
Possibly if you are in the depths of “wearable? muslin” for either testing a new pattern or working without one where best case it’s pajamas… you can go halfway on some of the seams. But you won’t have a result anywhere a seam meets an unironed seam that gives you some information muslims are made for.
You there
How do you accommodatw for many sizes in case you have to tailor it?
Sorry, I don’t think I quite understand the question. Could you re-phrase it?
@@MirandaMilner when you are measuring, is there a way you measure to insure enough fabric so you can fut just about anyone in it? U kniw this garnent is looser though, so it can for more suzes.
@@elysethefloralninja Well, you just make the blouse to your own measurements. For some people, a pillowcase won't have enough fabric. I just used a pillow case because I liked the material, but you can make it with any fabric you want. I try to show how to draft these patterns to fit yourself. That's why I don't usually mention my personal measurements, I just explain how to get the correct measurements on yourself.
@@MirandaMilner ah ok. I was just thinking about someone who gains and looses weight easily, jumps from different sizes. Thank you
@@elysethefloralninja Well, the straps are adjustable which would probably help in that situation. Other than that, you can just make it a tad bigger and it will still probably be wearable if you lose weight.
So are the sides straight? Are there buttons? This looks nursing friendly but id need to know how to get the blouse over engorged breasts.
It’s a while since I made this, but I believe I did make the sides straight. There aren’t any buttons, I just pulled it over my head, but you could alter the pattern in lots of ways.
