Mockup Mayhem Vlog : 1980s
It's time for elastic waistbands and shoulder pads.
The 1980s....
I wasn't looking forward to this decade, but I actually liked this pattern! The instructions were really thorough but straight to the point and I didn't struggle with any steps (which is a rarity).
The mockup doesn't do much for my figure, but overall this went better than expected!

OMG, it was The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, wasn't it?!?!? I remember you telling us you applied to be an extra. I'm so excited for you!!! When will you know which episode you are in? I need to keep an eye out for you. You'll have to show all of us the scene you're in so we can spot our gal Angela! I hope they gave you something colorful and lovely to wear. The instructions for pockets: will you be adopting that technique in your future projects, since it was much easier?
The “after 9 pm, chatty” videos after definitely fun to watch. Perhaps less structured as the “before 9 pm” videos, but the relaxed vibe adds to the entertainment.
Or you can certainly make your own shoulder pads like I used to back in the 80s when I was a poor college student too. Yeah we used shoulder pads to death in those days. I know it’s a pain, but dang they made us look fine! Happy sewing..😊
I've made smaller ones out of quilt batting for 50s and 40s pieces...I didn't even think of making my own for this! That would have been a great solution!
How big is your cutting table? What is it covered with?
Angela and her Dad got Homasote from Home Depot/Lowe’s hardware store https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homasote
Great job again!! I like a lot how you talk about incorporating these pieces in your regular wardrobe. Would you consider making a lookbook video after you're done with the series, showing us which pieces you wear the most and how you pair them with the clothes you have? That would be so cool to see!
Please keep on sewing with vintage patterns even when you finish the decades!
