I finally have finished the two weeks worth of lunch break sewing that I have been doing! This is a blouse from a mid-1930s pattern from a sports blouse. Both the fabric and buttons are vintage and were purchased on Etsy. I love the novelty South American print and sombrero buttons! It's like...- Lauren

Well, there are normal fabric stores where the prices of fabric can be quite expensive- near to the prices you say but per yard. The garment district in Los Angeles is all bolt ends and wholesale, though for shopping on the street and not in showrooms you most often do not need a wholesale...- Lauren

Thanks, gals! Yay! :) When I eventually make the bolero and belt I'll post it on here, too. I got the fabric in the garment district in LA. I wish there had been more, but I got the rest of the bolt for a dress for me and a shirt for my husband. I think it was only $4 a yard and is a rayon.- Lauren

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
HA! That's very true. I've had that response as well. We don't actually have very many vintage shops and they're quite small but are good.- Lauren

I finally finished a sewing project! This is from a Butterick pattern from 1938. I still want to make the jacket and sash- the sash from red silk crepe and the jacket probably an off white linen. :D The fabric I found new, and it's surfing cowboys. I love it! My lights were casting a funny...- Lauren

Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage
I don't do head to toe vintage every day, but more "inspired". I do wear wide leg pants and button up shirts and sweaters with keds a lot and tend to get comments on those. Co-workers have given me great vintage trinkets and supplies! It's really nice when they recognize your passion and...- Lauren

Show us your vintage patterns!
I forgot to share my patterns for a while! I'm making the last one right now and it's coming out lovely! I don't think I've really sewn much with Butterick and I'm very impressed. I especially like how they and Simplicity add extra seam allowances at the sides for taking them out...- Lauren
