My second go at the Decades of Style Kitchenette PJ's. The top is cotton blend, the bottoms are cross dyed linen. I altered the upper back a little, haven't put a button on yet, but I like it. I sewed up the pants section further up, so there's less bunching, I used the style detail to create concealed pockets, and skipped the lower band on the pants, adding a side slit.
I also attached the left sash to the edge of the fabric the same way as the right sash. This way the edge of the back doesn't curl under so you can't reach it.
I'm thinking they are presentable enough to wear dancing.

Absolutely! At first glance I thought it was two pieces. Very nice!

I made this little hat from vintage and pre-owned millinery materials.

View the cute video from 1942 at the end of my blog showing a woman making a hat from her husband's old fedora hat.

I just spent a fun few hours following this Threads Magazine tutorial on making
a base for a fascinator- type hat.www.threadsmagazine.com /item/17474/how-to-make-a-hat-ba seIt was pretty easy
and I like the results.

Now to find one on fastening the feathers, bows, etc. securely!

 

[shazzabanazza]

Nice top Shebear! The material is pretty!

Crwritt: Loving the fascinator, cant wait to see the finished result!

My third sewing project from a vintage pattern! I used a 1950s jumper dress pattern, changing the neckline from V to sweetheart. I'll definitely use this pattern again, but next time I'll do the Full Bust Adjustment pattern alterations.

Very cute jumper!
And hey! I think I have those same shoes! Or ones very similar
