I'm showcasing the vintage outfits I sewed for the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender a few years ago! I take you through my journey of sewing an entire vintage capsule wardrobe, including a playsuit, a sarong-style dress with unique neckline, AND matching couples outfits! I don’t do a lot of fancy sewing, but I went ALL out for this event. Hope you're inspired by these fabulous vintage styles! 💃
