Show us what you've made!

I am totally mortified by these pictures.
I finally made a dress from one of the first patterns I traced. An early 30,s Dubarry.

Late 30's Butterick

A Past Patterns 1930's skirt. I wanted to make it longer but I didn't have enough fabric.

This hat would look better at a different angle and the viel needs work. I made the necklace also.

WOW!!! These look fabulous! Great job! :eusa_clap

So adorable! And it fits you perfectly!

My favorite fabrics tend to be from the bargain section as well. Knowing that you got the fabric on sale tends to make the finished product even sweeter.

I was reading back posts (page 145)

And I noticed the posts about duct tape dress forms. In my endless pursuit of a decent dress form and my other vintage hobby (SCA) I came across this little gem:

Before I head off to bed after a long week, I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at the cocktail dress I finally finished and wore out last night. (Haven't even blogged it yet!)
From an original 1959 pattern, I made this up in a satin - (which was very hard to work with and not get ripples and puckers) - found in the bargain bin where all my favorite fabrics seem to be from! I'm rather pleased with the way this turned out and am now thinking about doing another in a deep red velvet for winter. yum.

Just lovely !!! Is that Como House ?

Just lovely !!! Is that Como House ?

It sure is! I was there for the launch of the "Shaping Elegance" vintage fashion event, which I will be blogging about this weekend.

 

[goldwyn girl]

I thought it was. I played the piano there many years ago. I look forward to hearing more about the event.

super kawaii mama, that is a lovely dress, and a superb fabric for the dress

 

[Miss RM]

I agree. Perfect fabric, terrific dress!

How did you make that hat?! I love it!

It's a sectional beanie with a giant bow. I made it from wool felt. You can find sectional beanie patterns fairly easy. evadress has one.

Here is a skirt I made a long time ago. I wore it for the first time today, it was my daughter's Christening! I felt a little strange posing for the camera. I haven't felt this pretty in a LONG time!

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.

The fabric I found new, and it's surfing cowboys. I love it! My lights were casting a funny glow on the fabric, but it is all the same color. haha.

 

[Lauren]

MarieAnne, that's so cute! And congrats on your daughter's Christening!

 

[Rachael]

MarieAnne, that outfit is stunning! and I second the congrats on the christening with congrats on looking so good so soon.

Lauren, that pattern made up just like the picture, and the fabric is fabulous. I'm jealous.

I finished the second piece of my retro swap:

more stuff on my blog; this was a fun one to work with since I only had 1 yard of fabric.

I made this wee hat--and the baby!

Ladies,

Let me introduce you to my latest project, my little girl, Georgia Poppy! Born Februrary 26th and I'm so proud of my little Peach.

And thanks ladies for all of your inspiring craftiness to get me through my pregnancy and my crazy job. I've been rather quiet this past year and it might continue, but I love reading and seeing everyone else's great handiwork. I just need to nurse mine!

It's so funny--it feels like yesterday that I asking for tips on how to do a vintage style wedding on the lounge in 2006 and now I have a whole new little one to introduce to the way of vintage! Tee hee!

 

[Medvssa]

What a beautiful dress!

[texasgirl]

Congrats Dottie! So cute!

 

[anabolina]

Cute as a button Dottie. Congrats

You look lovely MarieAnne. That skirt also looks perfectly made and your hair is beautiful.

Wow Lauren, what awesome fabric. That has to be a talking point and its a lovely shape. I bet its really flattering on you.

I love that cuff detail and fabric Rachael. Great job!!! What a great idea to think of those square buttons.

SuperKawaiiMama, that is some awesome fabric and it fits you so well. It gives me a serious case of the I-want-that's

I like your hair Antje. Very curly. I also like the dress. It's a great shape for your body and you did a great job with the sleeves. Is that that Vogue pattern?
