Drafting 1940's Trousers: Mock-up Mockery - Sewing Vlog

Drafting 1940's Trousers With a Vintage Pattern Drafting Manual

This vintage sewing project is another Costube collab with ‪@ShannonMakes‬ ! We chose a 1940's pattern drafting manual to try and draft trousers from scratch. It was a process...I drafted and sewed a mockup and this sewing progress vlog will show you my many moments of confusion. Hopefully it will be helpful to any of you who feel confused by pattern drafting to know you're not alone. Thank you for joining me for my plus size historical and vintage sewing and costuming adventures!
