Another advantage of a placket opening over a zipper: no getting the zipper snagged or even broken. The placket works first time, every time. ☺️

I am obsessed to say the least! I’m not exaggerating when I say you INSPIRE me 🥰 hope you stay inspired and fulfilled yourself 🥰

Thank you so much! I’m hoping I can make more because I like this skirt even more than I expected. Plus I have about 10 Barbie tops now

This turned out fabulous! I love how the pleats and plaid line up so when you move you get flashes of the lighter color.

Thank you so much! I’m hoping the flannel will go on sale more so I can make another skirt or two. It was actually kind of cold today and it was nice to wear out

In case you didn’t already know you can find heavy flannels at quilt shops. Love your work!

*🍁Autumnal Adorableness SewRena!!! that romper is so darling & your updo is gorgeous. brilliant work Sis!!! 🎃🍂*

I love the look! I'm also obsessed with the high bun you're wearing in the reveal and the intro. So cute.

She looks absolutely amazing! The hair! The outfit. Stellar.

Love seeing patterns that are lined up❤... you don't/ won't find this on off the rack items anymore. Not even in the high-end stores ❤❤❤❤❤

very nice. I poured over the Sears catalog endlessly growing up. best of times

Loving this skirt and top, perfect staple pieces for fall! And I think 50s updos look amazing on you ❤

Another great fall look!

Serena, That is too cute! You look beautiful!!

I love your outfits so much! You inspire me to make my own vintage clothing too! 😍

You look beautiful. I'm in awe of what you do. Inspiring.

Thank you Rena.... Beautiful 😍 Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

So super cute.

Gorgeous!!! Simply darling!!!❤

Subbing flannel for wool is so clever!!!

Loving it I think about my mom everytime I watch you sew.

This reminded me of a dress I had in 3rd grade. It had a colorful plaid taffeta skirt with a black velvet bodice and made me feel so fancy.

Absolutely stunning. Super chic too ❤

That outfit is gorgeous- it’s so elegant in its simplicity and really suits you. Wonderful idea to use a lighter brushed cotton to make a skirt if I need something a bit less heavy. Great look with your hair up-done as well! ❤ Thank you x

Wowowo it’s so pretty 🤩 You’re amazing at what you do!!

Very stylish. Good choice on the colors.

You have excellent taste!

Looks gorgeous on you.

Talk about perfection 🥰 💞

U R Simply Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

The brown & black is a great color combination.

Love your look from the intro! That yellow floral shirt is gorgeous. Love the final look too.

Love all what you do. But l must confess l also comeback to hear your soothing voice.😊

@SewRana • Thanks for the tips to use heavy flannel in place of wool and to look for it in men's shirting. The look is terrific and you definitely look as if you enjoy modeling it.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 omg I love the Barbie top so much! And the thing is I HATE sewing with knits 😂. I use it as a base layer in the winter and as a casual top. Thanks so much for watching 💕❤️❤️

Such a cute outfit! You have amazing taste and skills.

WONDERFULL AS ALWAYS

amazing construction!!

Your look today screams Nina Simone! ❤❤❤ 🔥 🔥

This is too cute

So cute!!! I love that you made a john john for your son. You have inspired me to get a bit more vintage in my sewing!!

LOVE IT❗☺️

So cute! I love that you chose a knit for the top. Very few vintage style seamstresses ever use knits! Sewing with knits is so easy, fast and practical. I started using them in the late 60s. The brown plaid skirt looks great with the black top and captures the same vibe the red wool plaid did.

I don’t like sewing knits but I don’t know how to knit so I don’t have the options other vintage seamstresses have 😅. I do make an exception for the Barbie top. I’ve made it so much that I don’t mind anymore.

@@SewRena I dont knit either!! But sewing with them is totally different than using knit fabrics.

Oooh, nice! I was a flannel and plaid fanatic in my teens and twenties respectively. 🤔I wonder if I still have my fav plaid skirt buried in a closet? 😄

I will go with the previous comment of "super cute"!

I love everything about your style and your videos! Keep up the creativity and dedication, you're awesome

You’re soo talented! This is soo beautiful!❤❤

So cute!! I love your style and your energy. I'm learning to sew and eventually I look forward to trying out some vintage outfits like these :) Keep it up!

You are an inspiration! You make vintage glamorous. Do you wear vintage loungewear or gowns? I absolutely love vintage sleeping gowns and loungewear. I’ve started to to recreate because I haven’t found any vintage patterns. Any recommendations?

💜💜💜💜

I love how it turned out! So cute! I love this pattern remixing idea. Where did you find the flannel?

So cute! I love how it turned out! What pattern did you use for your son's romper? Thank you

i love how you make outfits for your son too, but chose not to include him. yay for child privacy haha

Can you put lining in the skirt?

Is there an older video available that tells how you began your sewing journey, did you take lessons?

It's it possible to turn up the volume? Very difficult to hear you
