Samantha Loves to Sew - If you have a fascination for vintage and historical fashion - how dresses were made and the lives of the women who wore them - then we have lots in common! I sew garments from true vintage patterns. And I collect vintage dresses and restore them to their former glory. I also collect vintage dressmaking techniques books and love to discover how people in the past stitched such wonderful details into their garments. The history of fashion and its practical application to history bounding - creating clothes for modern day life inspired by garments from the past - is something else that fascinates me. I upload every Friday and I would love you to subscribe to my channel and join me on my sewing adventures.
