Ah, the walkaway dress, is the vintage pattern really worth the hype? @StephanieCanada put out a challenge to try and find out. Today’s video I will make the dress on the clock, to see how long it really takes to make this dress and if it’s actually possible to start it after breakfast and walk away in it by lunch.
You may be interested to watch part 1, where I size up the pattern and prepare some of the materials for today’s make: https://youtu.be/Z8othkKjhpk
The glorious Stephanie Canada has thrown down the gauntlet – challenging brave souls to make the vintage Butterick 6015 walkaway dress, and see who can make it the fastest (spoiler, it will not be me! I barely know what I’m doing)
But I am up for the challenge, and in this part 1 video, I am working out how to make this pattern fit my very short and very not vintage body. To my surprise the parts I thought would be the hardest turned out to be easy, and the parts I didn’t even know would be an issue became the hardest parts to figure out. If you also want to try this challenge, check out Stephanie Canada’s YouTube channel for more information.
Stay tuned for part 2 – making the actual dress between breakfast and lunch!
