Sewing a 4th of July Dress Inspired by Betty Draper Using 1950s Vintage Dress Patterns #madmen #asmr
Thank you for watching! Be sure to like & subscribe for more videos. 💕
For today’s Summer sewing project we are creating my artistic take on Betty Draper’s bow dress from Mad Men. It’s like if Betty Draper dressed for Team USA for the Olympics or for a 4th of July picnic. I used three sewing patterns to make one dress. Two vintage sewing patterns and the bow from Gertie Charm Pattern book the “Madeleine Dress”. This project was a “scrap buster” and took a lot more hard work than I imagined. I had to wing so much of it. But I’m proud that I was able to actually complete this project with so little available to me and I hope it inspires someone to continue believing in the power of their dre...

    Sweet Cindy... a little tip for sharpening your pinking shears (and all other scissors) is to use baking foil. A sheet of heavy duty foil, folded a few times and you just cut and cut and cut until your scissors are sharp again. I do this all the time! I love your channel xxx

    Again a masterpiece!! You are such a marvelous seamstress! Did you take classes or did you learn from the women in your family or both?? Every single dress that I have watched you make on RUclips is so elegantly put together. Your choice of fabrics, colors and the type of notions such as buttons, ribbons, etc all fit together perfectly. Thank you. Where you the model with your dress on? If so, you look stunning in your dress! Thank you for creating and sharing the process and now modeling your creations. You are such an inspiration. I watched all the episodes of all the seasons of Mad Men, I loved that show it was eye candy in so many ways! I loved the clothing that was how women dressed when I was a child in the early 1960s. I think I am more a Joan because I am a full figured gal. I loved her character as well. January Jones wore some of the most elegant dresses on the program. I felt sorry for her character Betty Draper because her husband constantly cheated on her and Betty the character seemed so lonely, and disillusioned regarding the life she thought she would live and the life she was living. She gained so much weight in the 5th season which added to her disgust with life and herself. At least that is the way I remember the show..............

      Thank you so much! Yes, I modeled this. I’m trying to get more comfortable appearing on camera, haha so I appreciate your kind words! I took 2 private lessons that taught me how to use a sewing machine and sew a straight line, etc. From there I am self taught. My great grandmother was a seamstress but I was too young to learn from her before she passed. Outside of the fashion, yes, Betty was a sad character. Joan is definitely one of my favorite personalities. I didn’t always agree with her but she was just so cool and feminine and I admired her. She’s also a redhead like my grandmother. Thank you for sharing and I truly appreciate you! 🫶🥰❤️

    • @CindyLeaux
      @CindyLeaux День назад

      ohh no there shouldn’t be a lettuce hem. are you using polyester thread & a stretch needle? i also basted a lot so it went smoothly. and if it still won’t lie flat, i might try pressing it flat but make sure you use a good pressing cloth over it to protect it. those are all of the things i can think of that might help 😅

    • @CindyLeaux
      @CindyLeaux День назад

      @valeriacruise8229 tysm! 🥰 i believe ballpoint needles are more for knits whereas stretch needles are more for swimwear. so ya i’d try a stretch needle and see how you like it. my tension was on “4” but it will depend on your specific fabric. i would practice on a bit of scrap fabric to see if making new adjustments here & there will help. with a few little experiments it should eventually work out for you. hope this helped and you have fun sewing! 🥰🫶❤️
