Superb as always Lady Day

Lady Day, that dress is quite lovely. I love the handwork.

 

[goldwyn girl]

I made the top from this pattern. I really need to make the matching skirt but I just haven't had the time right now.

I can do finger waves and I have had short hair. I just don't think it suits me the best because I have pudgy cheeks.

Thanks Miss Elf!

And perfect skin. You look great.

very cute! I don't think I've ever seen that pattern, what a find!

Also knocked out few more day shirts so I could use up some fabric.

Lady Day--I love those shirts--did you use a specific pattern?

 

[goldwyn girl]

Thanks kamikat, I did get that pattern when it was first released, I believe 2001 this one also came out at the same time. Now if I can finish up all the big house projects I can get back to sewing like a mad woman lol

That explains it! I was busy with babies at that time, not sewing a single stitch.

Have a look on ebay, I know 9978 is not on there at the moment but I'm sure it will came up.

I am really liking these patterns and I wondered if someone have made them and what they thought of them?

They say average in skills, but are some easier or harder to do within that range of skills?

My mom made my Holloween costume from that pattern. That top looks great on you.
And Thanks Kamikat and goldwyn girl. I do like the outfit it just doesn't look much like the picture in the book.
I am almost finished with two pair of Overalls from the evedress pattern. I hope to post pictures soon. I have to learn to do buttonholes first.:eusa_doh:

Try patternreview.com (free registration required for reviews over 6 months old), or the Great Pattern Review. Googling for reviews works too, but I often find useful info on those two sites.

Lovely things, everyone! I love how patriotic we all are

Here's my latest. From vintage rayon fabric from the expo at Santa Monica, vintage buttons from an estate sale, and modern cotton eyelet trim from the garment district:

It's the one in the top most view. A little deceptive from the pic, since the skirt is actually cut straight and not at an A line, but still super cute!

oooh! im onto this next! its all cut out! you've just made me get all excited!

Not really "vintage" but I made this and wore it to a costume convention this weekend:

 

[kamikat]

Here's the latest! It came out a bit too big, but it was the smallest pattern I have yet to work with, so I think I was a bit too generous when I was grading it and my regular machine is out of order. My back-up machine has different marking for seam guides. I had to add an inch to the bodice length and I added in-seam pockets.

Ladies, I am so impressed by the things you area all making and my inability to find vintage/repros that I like - I am taking the plunge thanks to your inspiration. I haven't sewn in about 5 years, though I taught sewing for a long time and it's like riding a bike, haha.

I think I will start with the Sense and Sensibility Swing dress pattern, has anyone made this?

Yes, I've made several. In fact, I made and modeled this for the website and paper catalog. http://www.sensibility.com/pattern/swing.htm

Ya know, I thought you looked familiar but I couldn't place it and I was on the sensibility site today perusing the images - i have the pattern already. I want to get some muslin this week to try doing up a sample, i haven't sewn for myself in a long long time.

You look fab in those pics and fab in your current one!

Kamikat, I just picked up that catalog this weekend! I thought the model looked familiar! Small world
