    Show us your vintage patterns!

    When I make something for the first time I do a mock up using canvas, then I can make any necessary alterations etc. The fabric is cheap & so I don't care too much about the waste, as I will end up with the perfect finish. In theory. That's my tip anyway :)

    I got my hair cut in a 20s bob the other day. I love it. I have quite fine hair too, and this style is great it makes my hair look thicker. I too am not a fan of the 20s clothes, but who cares huh, noone where I live can tell that I'm mixing up my vintage styles!! I just need to know how...

    Who can't wear lipstick?

    I had a great no7 red lippy. Either that or 17, from Boots (Boots fan you may have guessed!!) I don't dislkike wearing lipstick, I just get really paranoid when I wear it that it's either disappeared is a bizarre way (leaving a funny effect) or that it's moved to a place on my face it...

    Vintage eyebrow shapes

    Wow! I'm so gonna try this! I've plucked my eybrows quite thin, but only one of them has a nice arch naturally (the other one is quite 'flat'!). It doesn't look odd, I just think that it does. I often say I will shave them off and just draw them on...

    Who can't wear lipstick?

    Foundation I don't wear foundation as I am extremely pale and it looks a bit ridiculous. I do, however wear tinted moisturiser from Boots, in 'fair' and an almost white powder to stop my face from going all shiny, all on top of Boots shine reducing day moisturiser. I have quite uneven skin...

    Can anyone give me some tips on achieving fingerwaves without the use of the wave clips (I can't get them over here it seems :o/) I've been trawling through these pages for ages now, and I did find posts about the clips, and a link to fingerwave techniques, but I really can't get my head...

    Vintage in the UK

    I'm just back from an extremely productive shopping trip to the local charity shops. It depends where you are as to how good the stuff is, I picked up 2 stunning 50s jumpers today, plus a really rather fabulous handbag. You just have to know where to look (Salvation Army shop, Dudley). They...

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    Hear hear Tess!! my tattoos remind me of various things, for instance, my swallows remind me of a rather awful time, but my hearts remind me of my best friend. I'm never particularly happy to be honest, but that is some sound advice!!!!!

    Thinking about a tattoo, but is it what good girls did in the 1940's?

    I agree, I have 2 full sleeves in progress as well as a few others, but don't consider myself in any way rockabilly. I love my tattoos, but I also cover them up quite often. None were done on a whim and my sleeves are most definately my pride and joy. All are based on old school designs...

    who mixes it up?

    Oh my goodness Amy, I LOVE your glassses ^_^ Anyway, I currently have a 20s haircut (which I love), but hate the 20s clothes, but wear my make up as from that era. I have 40s & 50s clothes, but modern shoes. I ordered some gorgeous 30s patterns yesterday. I'm just a complete mish mash, but I...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Oh, this is soooo bad, I must learn to walk in heels. Being the teeny tiny little thing (ahem) that I am, it would probably do me good. I have the cutest pair of peep toes, but the heel is ridiculous (anything that isn't flat is in this category). Plus whenever I wear any of my vintage...

    Lost... I find it so difficult to find a good pattern. I realise I probably sound a little stupid, but what on earth do you search for on Ebay to find these amazing patterns????!!! All it ever throws at me are awful awful things!
