  • Julia is taking her grandmother’s fashion sketches from the 1940s and sewing the designs herself. It took about two months to make one gold ballgown, which is getting a lot of attention on her TikTok account. “She was really proud and excited that I completed it,” Julia told Inside Edition Digital. She learned how to sew entirely for this project. “In the sixth grade, I made an alphabet letter pillow in home ec. But except for that brief stint ... I have no professional training,” she said.

    I love that they respected her wishes to not be shown face wise. She wants no fame off of anything other than her designs. This is just wholesome all the way around.

    What a lovely way to honor her grandmother's talents! Side note: A lot of kids discovered a knack and a love for sewing in those old home ec classes. I thought they had been phased out of the curriculum of most schools years ago. A hobby that can pay for itself. Everybody needs a creative outlet.

    I taught myself how to sew about 14 years ago for cosplay, but have since moved on to historical fashion. My grandad passed late last year, and my grandmother has been diagnosed with dementia and schizophrenia for a while, so she doesn't even recall who I am. I think about her when I'm sewing sometimes, because she had an antique edwardian sewing machine that I was fascinated by as a child. I'm not someone who has ever wanted children, but I love to see stories like this where one older family member passes a talent or a part of their past down to a younger member. It would be cool if a designer discovered this video and wanted to collaborate with them to make the other designs :)

    Like others have commented, would be great if a fashion designer was able to fabricate her grandmother's designs as a collection, and enable others to wear these dresses. Am sure given the background story, they would do well, and provide both the grandmother and granddaughter extra money.
    Hope to see or hear a follow-up to this story in the future? 🤔
