- I sewed coordinating dresses for my daughter and me for our yearly family photos using vintage 70s patterns that we gifted to me. I don't often sew vintage clothes for everyday but these dresses were too cute to pass up!

I may not always have time to respond to all comments but know that I do read and appreciate them!
Well, those dresses took me right back to my 70s childhood. They both came out lovely.
thank you :)
I grew up in the 1970s, I remember those granny dresses well.⭐
What a sweet and special project! I hope your daughter understands how lucky she is.
thank you :)
You both look amazing. In the late sixties my mum would make my aunt (only 10 years older than me) and I matching dresses. I thought I was the bees knees! Sometimes my doll would be matching too 🐝😊
Aww, that's so sweet!
and thanks!
I love the fabrics you picked out for both dresses and so glad your daughter loved her dress!
Thanks!!
I absolutely love both dresses!
Back in the early 70's my Mum knit us ponchos. Unfortunately they were done in acrylic and we wore them in summer, but I loved them so much. My Mum's was blue & white, my big sister's was brown and white, mine was purple and white.
Absolutely fabulous work. You both look so lovely. Well done. And she likes it!
The stabilization triangles at the pocket corners are brilliant. Thank you, I am so stealing this...
You have a dress pattern for sale... you need to put the link to it in the description, please and thank you. That's amazing...
For what it's worth - I once knew a guy who installed a clock radio under his baby's bed. He'd leave the radio tuned to CBC (the national news network in Canada) and leave it ever so softly playing in the background. He claimed it worked? His theory was the kid would adapt to noise? I dunno; I've reached the stage in my middle-aged life I'm referring to as "Professional Auntie" in which people just randomly share their parenting tricks...

Thank you, and thanks for the reminder ;) it's up now!
She does have a noise machine in her room but my sewing room is right across the hall and I knew she probably wasn't asleep just yet.
I love both those dresses especially your daughters only because it made me think of the dresses I made for my daughter and it made me all sentimental( and I’m getting old!).
Aww, this seems to be bringing up a lot of memories for viewers
Reminded me of the 70s as a small child. Was fun to watch your sewing journey.
I used to sew matching mother and daughter Goth outfits for my youngest and I. Two years ago I made matching Granny, daughter and grandson Goth outfits.
OMG matching goth outfits sound amazing!!
Both dresses worked out wonderfully. You have a knack for choosing fabric and knowing how that will end up looking. I like the full length sleeves.
❤❤❤
So lovely. 70s was still mini-skirt territory. You could probably hem your dress a bit more, if you wanted. Thank you for the video!
Good job at fix it❤
Very cute! They both look great!
Erika
thank you!
its got pockets!
yay! pockets!!
Cute dresses!
thanks!
I'm planning to make this little girl's dress as a Christmas gift. I liked seeing you go through the making process. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I hope your dresses turn out great
this may sound odd, but I am really glad you are keeping your daughter's anonymity by blurring her face. The dresses came out great!
Thanks, despite posting public videos I tend to be a pretty private person. My kid can decide when she's older if she wants an online presence of her own or not.
Dixie these dresses turned out so cute! I love your fabric selections. It's so nice to finally have a moment to catch up on your wonderful videos! Happy New Year!
Happy new year! and thanks so much for helping with my dress
Having grown up in the 60s, this is less nostalgia, more PTSD
When you were snipping the neck on your daughter's dress - what was the contraption you used?
And I love the fabric you chose for both dresses!
It's some kind of dentist's tool I got from a friend. It has short but sharp blades which are good for snipping. Thanks!
