    Sabrina Hat

    Yup, that's it. But now, in that one, it looks like tucks! It's the mystery hat! Great clear photo, Hadley. I think it was probably very light in color which doesn't translate very well into film- that's why in some shots you can see it more clear than others.

    Suspenders for Women

    Me too! I have had them on the "to sew" for a long time, now. Gotta make em up! I want to cheat, though, and find pre-embroidered trim so I can make a pair like Jean Arthur. :D Want to start a club? Here's a few more from the stash: I love the silly attached apron in this one: The last one...

    Suspenders for Women

    I really love suspender skirts that were popular in the late 30s- they weren't detachable suspenders but attached, usually to a high waistband, like a jumper. So fun! There were lots of them that were embroidered, or there were belts that had suspenders attached that were embroidered in the...

    Sabrina Hat

    I watched the movie this afternoon. It looks like it's a wool that's been corded around the circumference. I have a hat with a similar treatment in my collection. I'll try and take a picture tomorrow when it's light outside so you can see what I mean.

    Very cute! I love your signature, deadpandiva. That quote is so true of some sewing projects I've made myself! lol "I've aquired quite a taste for a well made mistake."

    Congrats, Bunny Chan! If you're new to sewing I think you should get a cotton. Easiest to start with and a cute print would look great in that dress!

    Woman 'more likely to remember first pair of shoes rather than first kiss' ...

    First shoes I remember were velcro tennis shoes. The cool kids fastened them in "X"s. Don't have the foggiest of the first shoes I bought myself. First kiss, truth or dare when I was a kid. Should never have taken that dare. Lame.

    Sabrina Hat

    Oh no! I'm going to be the contrary one! I think it's felt and pin tucked around the circumference. :o

    Awesome. Those lots are great for keeping the sewing room stocked! Nothing as aggravating as being mid-project and then realizing you don't have something.

    Can you help me date this item??

    Hi! I clicked on your links and they were bigger there. It looks like what you have is a 1910s camisole and petticoat. It looks like possible there is a place at the waist to put in a drawstring at the bottom of the bodice? Probably homemade, with homemade crocheted lace as well. Cute!

    Yay! Thanks, gals! I wish I found more of that fabric! I got less than a yard because it's all the lady had :( Ideally I'd love three yards so I could make a dress. Maybe I'll run across it someday! I spend most New Years sitting in front of the tv watching old movies. lol But maybe I can...
