Show us what you've made!

Everyone has MAD SKILLZ!! DPD -- your simple 30s dress is gorgeous. Again, we have the same taste!

Here's what I whipped up this weekend:

The sleeve isn't wonky (only under the arms where the stripes meet lol) -- I haven't put the zipper in yet and I pinned it up like that. From this:

MissAmelina was kind enough to let me borrow it and make a copy for myself.

ROFL, I've got a 1967 dress I've made this weekend. I need to hem it, although it is not the focus of the forum.

Amy that is one seriously cute dress!

 

[MissAmelina]

Way to go, Amy Jeanne......that looks great!! Very snazzy.

 

[Lorena B]

I am agree A Jeanne, that looks lovely

 

[hailey greenhat]

and a pair of shorts

oh what pattern (if any) did you use of the shorts? i've been wanting a few pairs for a while but every repro shop sells them for far too much and vintage is hard to find for my 28'' waist.

What a beautiful shade of blue!

This is so lovely!

I didnt use any pattern Hailey.
I just grafted some trousers i have and made the short version
Still, there are some patterns for shorts, you might be able to check then out in the pattern swap thread

 

[Shirin]

You shouldn't be ashamed, your dress is just beautiful and so are you in it!

 

[Elaina]

It's a modern pattern that I redrafted to fit into a more 50s silhouette. I just did this for pics on my blog, and I have no foundation garments (hence the pook)

I also saw these and thought they were cute, so I made my own:

I am in the process of making a voodoo doll fascinator, would there be any interest in seeing that or is it too creepy? (And yes, there is a story to why that.)

 

[kamikat]

AJ, that dress is to-die-for!
Elaina, I love your skirt and matching bows!
deadpandiva, that dress is really cute! I wouldn't have noticed the revers if you hadn't mentioned it.

 

[swingkitten85]

Oh wow--I'm so inspired by everything that's been posted lately! You gals are so talented and prolific!

WOW! I am sort of ashamed to post what I made after seeing all you lovley creations. I am actually quite proud of this even though the revers are a little lopsided.

Oh my!!! You have no reason to feel ashamed of this gorgeous dress! My jaw hit the keyboard when I saw it--beautiful!

I'm always in awe of how quickly and beautifully you sew these items up! I have been dying to make a dress from this pattern (which I always am outbid on or it's slightly out of my pattern spending range! lol) for ages. I just adore your version--so cute!

[Antje]

Amy jeanne, you are just amazing at sewing

[Bettie Booh]

This is so lovely!

Absolutely love this dress!!!

 

[fuzzylizzie]

Oh, but those bras are cute!

My latest project:

Made from this pattern:

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Thanks, ladies

Fuzzylizzie -- I love the collar on that one. Did you shorten the skirt?

 

[sixsexsix]

A few things over the past few months

 

[fuzzylizzie]

Amy, yes, I did shorten it. I am very short, about 5'1" so I not only shortened the shirt, I shortened the bodice as well. I also took out a bit of the fullness of the skirt. It hits me right at the knee, though it looks like it might be shorter in the photo.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Michelle -- we have the same wardrobe.

Elaina -- the matching hair bows are DARLING! Great colour.
