I’m in love with this 1900s shirtwaist blouse! In this video, I sew a historical top while talking about perspective, widening your view of the world, gatekeeping, and privilege (yes, it’s a lot… oops).

Materials:
• 1 yard sheer striped fabric (50% silk, 50% cotton)
• Pre-waxed ivory silk thread
• Cotton basting thread
