Vintage knitting, sewing, and a lifetime of craftiness

How I pattern hack a vintage & modern pattern together & sew a dress!

January 31, 2023 by Tasha Leave a Comment

If you've followed me a long time anywhere on these here interwebs, you know that I love to hack sewing patterns. Hack patterns together, hack them into different cuts and style, you name it, I'll hack it. I knew one of the first things I wanted to do on my new YouTube channel (did you miss my launch?!) was a video where I walked through how I hacked one of my favorite bodices. It's a bit of a tutorial! Quick ... Read more »

Tasha Could Make That new YouTube channel

Tasha Could Make That is now on YouTube!

January 18, 2023 by Tasha Leave a Comment

Hello friends! It's with a lot of excitement and just as much (or more!) nervousness, that I'm announcing today that I'm finally on YouTube! I've had a lot of requests over the years to do more video content for vintage sewing and knitting. And though I have done a bunch of Instagram stories, mainly talking through sewing projects, it's not nearly as 'official' as a dedicated channel for things! But particularly ... Read more »

The jumper dress I didn’t know that I really wanted

December 30, 2022 by Tasha Leave a Comment

Hello, friends! I greet you after a road trip to visit family over Christmas, with a project I sewed and photographed a few weeks ago but hadn't had the time to write about. Because I fully intended to write about this dress once I'd finished it, as it kind of surprised me how much I liked it. I originally had the idea to use this 1950s pattern, Advance 7747, with some Spoonflower cotton sateen in a winter print. So I ... Read more »

Dreamy boucle cardigan and a dress

November 30, 2022 by Tasha 12 Comments

How about something completely different? And by different, really I mean the same—I'm sharing a couple of finished projects. That's the bread and butter of what I do 'round here, after all. But it's been awhile since I've shared anything except the knitting patterns I've worked on this year, so I'm here to change that! Ironically part of this outfit started off as something I intended to make into a cardigan pattern ... Read more »

August 24, 2022 by Tasha 15 Comments

I'm absolutely ecstatic to introduce you to my newly rebranded site! By Gum, By Golly is now Tasha Could Make That. Friends, I've needed the change for a long time. I've been blogging here since 2010 (much love to those of you who've stuck around that long! ♥) and for a good few years or more, I've been tired of my username. You never think when you pick a username for something that it might be kicking around more ... Read more »

50s topper coat for spring

March 9, 2021 by Tasha 18 Comments

Ta da! My yellow spring topper from Simplicity 3541 from 1950 is done. And I love it! It was a pretty short project all things considered, taking me about a week to actually sew. Although it probably took another week to make the muslin and get all the pattern pieces ready (I talked about that in my last post). Sometimes I forget how labor intensive the prep is for coats! Lined things have so many pattern pieces and ... Read more »
