Show us your vintage patterns!
I just got myself this: It's way too big for me, but I'm going to use it to practice sizing a considerably large garment down. Alos, I collect Hollywoods and look how pretty it is! Hollywoods are always the best patterns, IMO. And I know what year they all came out because they are...- Amy Jeanne

Maxi Dresses
I'm not going to wear the ugly, unflattering parachute dresses that are "hot" in the stores this week, but I will make and wear this lovely number from this vintage pattern: I want to make the mini dress with long sleeves, too!- Amy Jeanne

I made this whole thing today: From this: Waitress or Candy Striper? lol I'm going to go get an applique "A" for the chest area (in lieu of a pocket!) I also didn't take the belt into account when I put that bottom button on there :o Whoops!- Amy Jeanne

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Thanks ladies. I will read that article over the weekend and seriously give this a try! Maybe I will start on a top I don't want/like anymore so I won't get upset if something happens. I have another Sewing Question, too.... Today I plugged in my grandmother's '38 Kenmore and it works...- Amy Jeanne

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Is it possible to make a pattern from an existing garment WITHOUT taking it apart??? Is it easy, best left to the pros, or impossible? Has anyone done this? I ask because I have a silk 1920s dress I'd like to reproduce and make into something stronger, less smelly, and more wearable. But I...- Amy Jeanne

Childhood Fears
When I was a little girl I was scared of old, burned down, and/or dilapidated buildings. Now -- I LOVE all of the above! One fear that has stuck with me, though, is my intense fear of caterpillars. They were all over the place when I was kid and all the neighbouring kids would collect...- Amy Jeanne

Vintage Streetstyle Thread
Looking at the babes in this thread really made me HAPPY! Thanks for all your posting and hard work. I like to sew my own clothes from vintage patterns, but use off-the-wall fabrics for them (see Show Us What You Made thread...) Creative dressers are right up my alley! I like these ones...- Amy Jeanne

Thanks everyone! Nope, I didn't use the boning or the interfacing and it came out fine. I thought the interfacing would be too much for something I plan to wear in the heat!!- Amy Jeanne

LorenaB = I never thought of it that way -- that my vintage buttons will be like carrying a part of my grandmother. I never met her -- she died before I was born. Also, I love Hawaiian dresses and my next dress is actually going to be in the Hawaiian style! Just waiting on the fabric!- Amy Jeanne

The very top above the bust is HUGE, though. I also wish my buttons were whiter, but I found them in the drawers of my grandmother's 1938 Kenmore in what looked to be a 1950s cookie tin. So possible vintage buttons!!- Amy Jeanne

Again, I love everything. Lauren's 30s shorts set takes my breath away! MissAmeliana's dresses are always top notch, and I'm really digging kamikat's use of wilder fabrics ;)- Amy Jeanne
