I Tried Using a 1950s Sewing Pattern!

Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! Today we are sewing a super cute 1950s housecoat or robe using a vintage sewing pattern from the 50s. I kept calling it 1940s/1950s throughout the video as I only remembered to try and actually date it after I made it. The pattern is Bestway's C1437 and I got it off Etsy from a vintage seller (TheFiftiesDressmaker https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheFiftiesDressmaker?ref=shop_sugg) The Vintage Sewing Patterns Wiki dates it at ca.1953! (https://vintagepatterns.fandom.com/wiki/Bestway_C.1,437) As mentioned in the video, I purchased 4 meters of this linen cotton blend for £12 p/m. It was a bit pricey but I was really struggling with finding a fabric I liked, and I hope this robe lasts me a long time. Overall, I think it took me under 10 hours to make, including the hand finishing and seam finishing. Should I make another one in cotton velvet for the winter? 👀 You can find Nikki's video about her housecoat here! https://youtu.be/Fqfd7TMm5m4 -- MORE -- Patreon (exclusive videos), https://www.patreon.com/catscostumery Instagram (perhaps overactive stories): @catscostumery https://www.instagram.com/catscostumery Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/V7V7HRLN Blog: https://happilyevertaffeta.wordpress.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/catscostumery/ -- All Amazon Links are affiliate links!
