I have a ton of leftover tulle from my wedding. My mom made my crinoline. So I've been thinking of making a petticoat. I've seen online instructions but they never include pictures so I am having difficutly understanding how it comes together. I know I'll need a slip for my 40's straight...- MarieAnne

I'm really impressed with what everyone is posting here, and I was just wondering, how much of your wardrobe/accessories do you make yourself? How much do you buy? I've seen beautiful hats and coats here and I know it's possible to make slips, undergarments, and gloves... I'm just making...- MarieAnne

Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?
I have no tattoos but I've wanted to get a sailor jerry tattoo for a number of years now. I know which one and where I want it. I even had an appointment booked but before the date I found out I was pregnant:eusa_doh: I don't think I will rebook though because I am a belly dancing...- MarieAnne

What's a sniper? Is that when you bid at the last second? I tried to do that, several times in fact. And everytime I put in a bid, it was matched instantly. Worst 20 seconds of my life! Ok, maybe just my week. I was screaming and jumping up and down at my computer everytime I bid, with my...- MarieAnne

Show Us Your Purchases!
I ventured into Value Village today and found some cool hats. There were actually three hats, but I only bought two of them. I may have to go back for the third one. Anyways, here are the two I bought. This hat cost me $4.99. They didn't have mirrors so I couldn't see myself with it...- MarieAnne

Sunny - that dress is gorgeous! Do you sew? If you found a sewing pattern for a simple dress, I'm sure it would be easy to alter the neckline to make it similar. I've never ordered clothes online before, I'd be too scared it wouldn't fit right. Have you ever had that problem? Olive bleu -...- MarieAnne

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Here is a picture of the shirt I made my husband. These western shirts all have yokes. The guy on the front is wearing a shirt with a plaid yoke. The shirt I made has a yoke and a lower bodice segment which come together to make a complete bodice piece. But the western shirt has a complete...- MarieAnne

Haha, hay Kamikat! You posted your reply while I wrote mine. So now you get your very own post;) Thanks for the compliments.

Wow, thanks for all the great replies and compliments! LizzieMaine - The shirt is actually too big in the bust. It's a tiny bit too big in the waist but I think that's just the ease. I like the idea of pinning and fitting with the original fabric. Especially since I only have to size down a...- MarieAnne

MarieAnne I've purchased a number of vintage and repro patterns on eBay. I'm still browsing and bidding but the competition is getting pretty fierce. I only ever cut my patterns to the largest size available if I cut them at all. I always trace the pieces on 'pattern trace' but I am...- MarieAnne
