Ladies you are incredible! May I please borrow the amount of talent in one of your fingers? I am 5'10" and find it increasingly difficult to find clothes to fit me properly, even more so after having my son. Maybe I should look into picking up a machine and some patterns and give it a whirl! [huh]

 

[ClaraB]

miss_killin is right, you ladies sure have a way with a sewing machine and patterns, fantastic! :eusa_clap

I've been fascinated with fascinators for sometime now. I whipped this one up this evening. I love, love, love peacock feathers.

 

[Lorena B]

Clara B, that is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!

 

[lazydaisyltd]

Clara, the green & blue in your fascinator look fantastic with your hair color--I love it! Very pretty.

 

[ClaraB]

Thanks ladies! This was really easy to make, I can't wait to make another and improve my technique a bit. I am planning on using pheasant feathers as I think they will look nice with my hair as well.

Simplicity 3673 in twill that I got for $1.50 a yard! Took me about 4 hours to make-- I love it!

 

[ClaraB]

:eusa_clap Wow well done. It looks great on you too!

HOLY MOLY! TDF Lauren!
The details on that blouse are just amazing.

Finished a couple of projects I had laying around for a while. Yay!
From this pattern

And I don't have a pic of this pattern, but it's an early 30s one. I've had it sitting around for four years! It's about time I finished it!

 

[Lorena B]

Just finished this.

No Pattern, i just copied the parts from a dress belonging to my mum when she was 21.

I didnt need to take the dress apart, i just put the tracing paper on top of it and followed the seams.

I still need to improve thou but I am very happy with it.
i made it in a fabric that is very similar to Crepp. the colors are black and a very light green that actually from far away looks like some sort of cream.

The price of the fabric was a steal, 1 Euro per mt for the green one and 3 E for the black.

Wow, Lorena B, very impressive, without a pattern or directions! Good going! Looks great. Lauren, what you do is always so impressive. You must have SO much patience. The details are always just amazing. Every new outfit I make I say I'm going to be patient and try to make it perfect and end up saying " oh well, good enough " when I really should be ripping out my sewing and redoing it. You're all inspiring. I need to start all my planned projects.

 

[Lauren]

I finished the last of the vintage sewing projects I had waiting! Yay! Now I can make something new

It was from this pattern that I sold a while back to JtCarrey.

 

[Lady Day]

You are so ready for golf!

[Lorena B]

That is great!!! i also like it!!!

I should take suit and do finish or fix some stuff i have lying around.

Well, it can only help me to improve sewing ( and most importantly), get out of sight the bundle of clothes to fix. He,he,he.

 

[Lauren]

You are so ready for golf!

LD

Haha! That would be a really funny sight. Last time I tried I was wretched!
Thanks, ladies

 

[kamikat]

Everyone has been making such lovely things!

Lauren, I have the pattern that your yellow dress is from. Yours came out darling. How is the pattern to work with?

 

[Miss Sis]

Lovely dress, Lauren. The lemon colour is so pretty and the brown buttons and belt buckle give it a really sporty feel.

...and just to show what a difference fabric can make in a pattern, this is my interpretation of Simplicy 3673:
