Live - Grey Linen 1940s Vintage Women's Suit - Time To Sew - I finish the skirt!

Today I am doing a behind the scenes sewing afternoon. I am wildly behind on my sewing schedule so today is THE big day to start sewing my grey linen 1940s women's summer weight vintage suit. Put on some music, this is mostly a silent video because I do not have copy rights to any of the music I'm listening to. I am delighted to live in a time period where history bounding is a thing and that having a niche dress and personal style all your own is not only accepted, but seems to be encouraged. I focus on accurate and appropriate to the era vintage clothing creation. I am not a huge fan of commercial patterns, so I draft my own sewing patterns based my own personal measurements. The Haslam dress cutting system that came out of Great Britain between 1920 and 1960 has opened up an entire world of sewing that I am finding to be easier and faster than using a mass produced pattern.
