I love the Edwardian outfit Lauren and of corse I love the hat's. Can't wait to get that pattern. Discovring that you made a repro of that made my whole week.

 

[Rosie_Beau]

Hi. So compared to Lauren's amazing Edwardian oufit what I made feels like a sack. But it's the first piece of clothing I have ever made and even though there's a list of faults as long as your arm I love it anyway.

I made this red pencil skirt

I haven't posted projects in a while [huh]
I made an Edwardian dress for a costume convention. More on that project here.

This is fantastic :eusa_clap

Those hats and that dress are AMAZING, Lauren. That dress fabric looks like it must have been impossible to work with, too.

 

[BoPeep]

Thanks for all the compliments, girls! I do like the back of the dress, low enough to be seductive but (just) high enough that I don't need a special bra! lol We always have to factor in the undergarments, don't we?

Lauren - beautiful as always. How many miles of ruffles did you have to hem for that?!

 

[BoPeep]

Congrats on your first project, Rosie Beau! :eusa_clap Pencil skirts are a MUST!

 

[kamikat]

Lauren, that Edwardian outfit is AMAZING! Love the hats!
Rosie, good job on the skirt!

 

[bettydarling]

Its been ages since I've checked in and what lovely projects to come back and drool over!! Lauren those hats are amazing, really inspiring me to get my vogue hat pattern out and give it a whirl!

 

[Lauren]

Many thanks, ladies for the comments on my projects!

Rosie_Beau, I think that looks wonderful! Especially for the first thing you've made. You don't even WANT to see my first projects. lol I can't even see the faults you're talking about. Looks great to me!

 

[kamikat]

I rarely make the same pattern twice, but I love this top!

Here's a close-up of the ruffles

 

[deadpandiva]

Rosie_Beau- Great skirt. Pencil skirts are always a great staple.
Cute Blouse Kamikat. I need to start making blouses. I really need some.

 

[BoPeep]

How fun, kamikat! Did you go shopping with Inky for that skull fabric? lol

I just finished Simplicity 3688. The high waisted pants.
I used denim which it didn't list but I've been wanting high waisted jeans. They came together pretty easy except the waistband was a little wonky. Either user error or maybe because the pattern only had one size band for all sized pieces? Maybe because I used denim. I dunno, but I made it work..kinda.

But... I don't really like them. They just don't seem too flattering on me and make me seem bigger than I really am. I'll probably still wear them but I'm still on the look out for a flattering vintage-ish jean pattern. Any suggestions welcome of course.

 

[kamikat]

They look really cute to me but if you're still looking for a pattern, many of us have had good luck with http://www.evadress.com/3322.html.

 

[Ms Sew-n-Sew]

I agree with Kamikat, Christi.adell - you look lovely and it seems like you did a good job, too! It's a bit strange that there were no size adjustments at all for the waistband.

 

[Christi.adell]

Ladies you made my day! Thank you. I will agree they are not the ugliest things I've ever made (I assure you there have been much worse! ha!) I think it might even be I'm just not used to them yet. The only jeans I've ever worn have been RTW and low rise. I guess I was thinking they'd have more of a taper, but that might make them more 70's bellbottom than 40's though, now that I think about it.

Ms Sew-n-Sew - Yes it did seem weird. It basically called for easing any left over material in around the right side. So for me it made the waistband a bit floppy on that side. Of course I haven't made tons of pants so I'm not sure how common easing into the waistband might be.

And thanks Kamikat for the recommendation. Those are great!
