1920s Silk Slip and Lace Haul - How to Sew with Remnants

This is a 1920s Haslam silk slip that is sewn with remnants and small part of my lace haul. Sewing with remnants is usually not covered in sewing books.

Whatever grain line or stretchiness you have on one side, you need to do on the other. I am a vintage seamstress with great love of the 1920s through the early 1960s.

Wear what you like and be true to you. Wear What Inspires you. 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 pat
