I have a lot to share! In preparation for my move I've been trying to hammer out most of my "to sew" list. I'll come back in the morning and add pattern info if anyone is interested.

I've never been a fan of blue, but I just love this shirt. It's so cute but seems so functional. Kudos!

Hello SayCici

Lovely work! I've been looking for a nice shirt pattern for a while - I'd love to know which you used?

 

[SayCici]

Thanks! The blue plaid blouse was using Simplicity #1012:

Looks like you SayCici. Very cute.

 

[Ms Sew-n-Sew]

Thank you - love the puff sleeves.

 

[SayCici]

I loved them too but because of that style (being a part of the bodice) it's also puffy around the bust and shoulders.

Thanks foofoo!

Not sure if I should put this in the pattern index thread but . . . this is a skirt I made last summer and really enjoyed. It's the Decades of Style pattern #5001. The pattern worked up easily, good directions, precise fit. It has 8 pleats across the center front, two on each side front, and four deep ones across the back. I used a heavier cotton in stripe to show off the bias cut back. It's a lot of fabric but fun over a crinoline (as photographed). Sort of tedious to iron though!

Great use of the stripes!

love the stripes Bopeep!! really nicely done!

 

[Jenniferose7]

BoPeep, that's a great skirt! And you get extra kudos for nailing those pleats! I would not have the patience for it.

Love the stripes !

 

[BoPeep]

Thanks girls! I love stripes. And setting the pleats wasn't hard. 100% cotton is so easy to work with - it's stays where you put it - no shifting or stretching!

Oh that blouse is adorable, SayCici...now I regret selling my pattern similar to it.
And that skirt. OH MY GOD. All I can say is I'm in love with it!

LD, you asked why my renewed interest in 30's clothes? This blouse is one of the reasons. It's classic enough to look good with jeans, but the 30s design elements make it unique.

BoPeep...that skirt is absolutely amazing! I could look at it all day. The stripes are lined up perfectly and the design and contrast is just something else. Fabulous! I DREAM of skirts like that! :eusa_clap

 

[Foofoogal]

one thing I learned in Home Ec. was a person that could line up stripes like that knew what they were doing. That and plaids are hard to do right.
Great skirt. :eusa_clap
