Upcycling duvet cover into 1950s shirtwaist dress | Slow Sewing Vlog

✨ Welcome to a slow sewing vlog filled with stitching, cats, and cottage vibes ✨ In today’s video, I’m transforming a lovely duvet cover I found at my mum’s into a 1950s-inspired shirtwaist dress — with plenty of help from my feline assistants, of course! 🐾 I was recently inspired by Rachel Maksy’s latest video where she brilliantly turned a duvet cover into clothing. Though truth be told, I’ve been making dresses out of old tablecloths, curtains, and bedsheets for years — there’s something magical about giving forgotten fabrics a new life. Expect slow, cozy sewing, garden moments, Greek coffee, and a lot of trial and error as I piece together this dress over three hot summer days. I hope it brings a little peace and inspiration to your day 💕 The pattern I used is from Gertie's Patreon, The Scout dress pattern: https://charmpatterns.com/scout-dress-sewing-pattern/ Let me know in the comments if you’d wear a dress made from a duvet cover, and what you’re currently making or dreaming up! ✨ P.S.
