Thanks for the tips everyone!
It's too late with the apron pattern as it has already been bought, but maybe I will hold off for a while with it.
Fleur, can you recommend a modern pencil skirt pattern to me? Thank you!
Hi Elaina, it's a great tip about taking some fabric to try but I am such a complete novice. I haven't used a sewing machine since college (some 8 years ago) and I wouldn't know 'what to feel' when using it as I wouldn't be using it confidently. Another thing is that I think I will have to use...
Hi Snookie - it is quite like yours isn't it! I searched high and low to find one similar.
One question I left out was that on the subject of actual sewing machines. Any tips when searching? My other half is going to get me one for christmas!
P.S. I was looking at this one, but the price is...
Thanks for the links! I kind of guessed there would already be threads in here answering my questions, but it's 11pm and I am tired and lazy and wanted a quick answer!

I am new to dressmaking and will be starting lessons in January. I am after vintage dress patterns and have a few questions:

Thank you!
Oh poor you :( We have had some odd experiences, even as sellers. Maybe this particular seller has had a string of bad buyers, or maybe they are just rubbish sellers! Have you checked their feedback score and read through any negative comments they may have?
I love Dita! Has anyone read her book? It is excellent - I thought it would all be about her, but was pleasantly suprised by all of the informative tips she gives!
And I will certainly look out for Esquire! - and for the piece about you Manton!
Hi Fleur
Thanks, we were thinking along the lines of Ralph Finnes in SL - but I can't seem to get a clear photo of him online, have done a google search for images but there isn't anything clear enough.
I know this certainly isn't the place to be posting third reich imagary, but if there are...
Hi everyone
This is probably the wrong room to be posting this, but I haven't really posted anywhere else yet and couldn't make up my mind where this should go - if anyone wants to move it then that's fine by me!
Basically, my boyfriend needs his hair cut into a WWII German style - for...
That's great Fleur!!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Just had a look at the clothes site and looks like she is uploading at the moment, quite fancy a pair of high waisted trousers!
I try so hard to be a vintage housework but I am just too darn lazy. Your day sounds incredibly tiresome! What is your secret?? I would love any tips on how to be so motivated!!
