How To Make a 1950's Blouse | Beginner Sewing Project

This is a fantastic 1950's style sewing project for beginners! I made it with nothing but a pillow case and some thread. If you’re looking for a classy looking vintage style garment to make, but are newer to sewing, this is a perfect project for you! I've also discovered that the image I referenced is from 1960. But there are a lot of similar tops and dresses from the 50's as well. It very much epitomizes that sort of transitional period from the fashion of the 1950's to the 1960's.

It's McCall's 5377, I think from the 60s. It turned out so nice! I really want to try to make this!

I think this is a great video! Great for a newbie or beginner. I think you did a great job and nice job using a recycled item..

I love the fact that you repurposed a pillowcase! The color and tiny floral pattern were perfect. I didn't care for the front neckline, it looks like it would feel awkward. Thanks for the video

The fact that you made this out of a pillowcase is incredible! You've inspired me to try make one myself. 😊
