Bath or Shower
Shower. ALL THE TIME. Philly water = yuck. I even feel kind of gross showering in it. And our pipes are about 80 years old, too. The water comes out of the bath spout all greyish. I'll pass.- Amy Jeanne

Thanks girls! The skirt never skims the hips like the pattern picture!!! I actually think it looks better on me this way. And the skirt pieces weren't as long as the pattern picture -- I actually only have about a 1 inch hem here. I *LOVE* this dress! There's ZERO mistakes on...- Amy Jeanne

The feel of the era.
I've never had flashes of vintageness until I moved to the city. My neighbourhood is pure 1880s-1920s. My building was built in 1926 and still has a lot of it's original things. But I usually get that time transport feeling for quick seconds, and usually when I'm walking in the city at...- Amy Jeanne

What I did on xmas: Buttons, fabric, and wonk! From this: It's supposed to be the skirt on the right, but the instructions confused me a little so I just made stuff up as I went along. I'm not really happy with the result. The fabric sucked (polyester) -- I even burned it at...- Amy Jeanne

My faves!!! The one on the right on the bottom picture. Because I needed a slip for my blue gingham dress, here it is: http://www.evadress.com/9759.html I figure this can also be my first try at "silky materials." lol- Amy Jeanne

Oh yes -- Fabric Row. It's about 5 blocks of nothing but fabric and sewing shops on 4th Street in Philly. It's considered "Historical", even! But it's a hassle to get into the city and I don't like going by myself (hubby has no interest) so I'm mostly a Jo-Ann's girl. As for shrinkage --...- Amy Jeanne

I don't think I'm experienced enough to buy a lot of my fabric online. I buy lots of novelty cottons from fabric.com, Fabric Paradise, and Ladybutton Fabrics, but for other stuff I still prefer to go to Jo-Ann's or Fabric Row. I'm still learning what everything is and how it feels. I'm want...- Amy Jeanne

1935 "Vintage Vogue" pattern for sale or trade
I bought this lovely pattern a few weeks ago at Jo-Ann's and only just realised it isn't in my size! I mistakenly bought a 6-8-10 instead of a 16. It's from the "Vintage Vogue" pattern line and it dates from 1935. The pattern is still folded up and has never been opened. It retails for $25...- Amy Jeanne

Calling all Rustics!
When I was a small child I LOVED old movies, and I would stay up nights watching them. I was eerily attracted to them. One of my favourite things to do was read the TV Guide, find the oldest movie I could and tune in :) I also used to play dress-up "flapper" style. I had a black wig that I...- Amy Jeanne

Thanks everyone! I spent all week making this: From this: :eek: :eek: :eek: I MADE THAT!! I made a lot less hidden mistakes on this, too ;) One majour dislike about it is the thin, flimsy fabric I used. I'll def need to invest in a slip when I decide to wear this. Also...- Amy Jeanne

First -- I say the same thing EVERY SINGLE DAY. It was hard narrowing it down to just 5 -- and I didn't want to go into the 40-50 dollar territory (they're usually the best darnnit!) And second, that Ann Sheridan pattern is going to be a challenge! I've never worked with ruffles. But I'm...- Amy Jeanne

I'll admit, I had the wrong idea about you FM. I like this new "I'm willing to share my love of vintage" attitude. I love looking at your photos and do admire your dedication. You really should be happy that you have this gift -- not mad at the "modern" world. I can only dream of such...- Amy Jeanne
