Swing Dress Sew-Along Video!

Do you love those classic styles of the 1930s and 40s? Perhaps you have an affinity for Peggy Carter? Well, this the sew-along for you! My 1940s Swing Dress pattern pulls together my favorite elements from this time period, including a nipped-in waist, shirring at the shoulders, and a gently flared skirt. In this video, I take you through all the steps from tweaking your pattern pieces to fitting your mock-up to making your final dress. As a bonus, I show you how to make a detachable hoodie--a look very popular in the 1930s and 40s--giving a whole new look to this iconic outfit. At the end, you'll see my little homage to Agent Carter and my daughter's turn as a 1940s "Rey" in the Star Wars AU you didn't know you needed!
