What's my next big thing??? It's time to (finally publicly!) launch the new and improved version of Vintage Sewing School!
I've been working on this for months and planning it most of the year! And for the last month, I have had the privilege of having the most lovely and inspiring group of students join me, as I quietly opened up the new version of the school!
This new version is the way I always envisioned it could be!
But, it's not your average sewing school! Sewing to me is far more than just following a pattern...
A pattern is merely a tool of sewing, and sewing encompasses all range of skills and topics like mending, altering clothes to fit, refashioning, everything about fabrics, and understanding patterns so you can fit and change them to create anything you want!
And this is the range of topics that will be covered in Vintage Sewing School! It's not about sewing vintage clothes, but learning vintage dressmaking skills!
Little by little every month, all the 'assumed knowledge' home sewers of the past once had!
Learning to sew is so much better and more fun with friends too! That's creating a community inside he school was so important to me and a big part f what I wanted it to be!
If you're interested I invite you to join us, in this new sewing club as a member,
VISIT VINTAGE SEWING SCHOOL here
I would LOVE to have you in class and be part of your sewing journey!
Let me know what you think and what sewing skills are you excited to learn in 2020?
Until next time...

Ultimately, i would really love to be able to create a 1900 dress 😉
But I know I must start with the basics of sewing.
Thanks for this opportunity 😉
A 1900 dress sounds like a dream to me too! Yes, start with the basics and with your end goal in mind, you will get there! If you have any questions about the school just let me know! x
I am interested to learn to sewing.
It is a wonderful hobby I’m sure you will love! I would love to have you in class, if you have any questions about the school just let me know!
I just found you Evelyn on youtube!! I have butterflies in my stomach! I always loved vintage & people including my sister’s laughed at me at 12 /13/14. I’m in my early 70’s now & laugh if I am too old to have found you now & to start this journey at my age.
Ho wonderful Barbara! our never too old to start anything! I have many ladies your age starting at Vintage Sewing School also actually! So you are not alone! x
Me too, Barbara! We now get to see what we love, for ourselves.
I want to learn to sew historical and couture fashion and mix and mash styles if i am not trying to be historically accurate, but i have always wanted to make a 1870-1880 bustle skirt outfit, omg I need to learn, so happy to have found you on youtube through your video about tips on shopping for a sewing machine
That sounds wonderful! With practice and patience, you can learn to make anything!

Carolyn I do all my teaching at Vintage Sewing School, which is all online, so yes! You can join anytime and I would love to have in class and guide you through your sewing journey.
I am thinking of joining the school, are there still new classes being added? I have some skills, but have gotten quite rusty over the years.
Teri yes! Every month new lessons are added! we have many members who also join to refresh basic skills and go from there! I’d love to have you in class!
Ms Evelyn, I learned the basic of sewing back in the ’60 and I did make my Prom dress and got an “A” in the class…Life took me so many directions and sewing was only part time. Now that I’ve retired and want to get back into sewing and making my own clothes I am looking forward to joining your class and relearn the art of sewing.
