Show us what you've made!

Thank you everyone for you complements.

I'm wearing a strapless merry widow under it, but I guess a halter neck bra could work. When I made it I fitted it over the foundation garments I would be wearing.

Brooksie, it's dark brown, you can see the colour better in the bolero photos.

The polka dots are embroidered.

CherryRed, I did it by hand, all 20 feet of it......hehe..........I do all my hems by hand I just like them better that way.

Lorena B, love your dress, what pattern did you use ?

Medvssa, your first dress ! how fabulous

I finished my first dress! I have sewn other stuff before (skirts mostly) but never a dress. I've learnt a lot.

I made it with this pattern (pic).

With a blend of wool and linen, I love this fabric.

I posted a lot more pictures and text in my journal, here.

That's beautiful! Did you alter the skirt? It looks much fuller than the drawing on the envelope.

 

[Medvssa]

Love it! I love boleros

That's beautiful! Did you alter the skirt? It looks much fuller than the drawing on the envelope.

I did alter the skirt, but just over the hip so that it would fit me (I made it wider), so the proportion has not been changed, in any case it might have lost some of the fullness since the hip is now wider while the hem hasn't been changed. Most of the fullness is at the front, the back is barely an A-line.

But, well it may look less slender also because I am so short, I had to take off 13 cm it may have been intended to be longer, but I didn't have enough fabric and I don't know if it would have been flattering for me.

And a 40's style dungarees:

Ufffff!!!

LOVELY! Your skirt hangs so well, and those pants came out so cute! Those have been on my "to make" list for a while.

 

[Lauren]

I made this dress and a matching bolero.

This dress and bolero are so cute!! I love your fabric choice! Fabulous!

 

[Shirin]

I made this dress and a matching bolero.

wow wow wow! That is divine!:eusa_clap You look sooooo lovely! Is that the butterick 5033 pattern?

 

[Lauren]

I finished my bikini that's been waiting for a month or two! The pattern is from a German pattern from 1935, and the plaid fabric is original 30s. She's got more up top than me, so it doesn't actually gape when it's on me.

 

[Shirin]

Ooooo, this is lovely, that fabric is perfect for that pattern. Excellent work.:eusa_clap

 

[Lorena B]

Wow GG that is just plain gorgeous, it actually even looks vintage itself :eusa_clap !!!

Thank you GWG (RE: the hemming) I guess I will just have to sit down and do it. I have another one that is waiting for hemming too.

Oh, I agree. It's amazing what the ladies here make. Every time I see this thread it makes me want to brush up on my sewing skills.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Everyone is soooo talented! I love everything. GG -- is that bolero Simplicity 3748? If so, I love that one! I made it here in a fun summery fabric:

And I recently made this:

It needs a pink belt! Also, I know the big flowers kinda clash about, but that's fine with me. My pleat seams aren't 100% straight and neat so it's all okay I'm still getting the hang of them.

From this pattern:

I think the dress came out better than the picture. The actual dress has a bit of a "mermaid" shape to it.

 

[Lauren]

Thanks, Gals!
Amy Jeanne, I love your sushi bolero! Too fun!

 

[miss_killin]

I haven't been on in awhile, bravo gals! I envy you, still working on that quilt of mine :eusa_doh:

 

[goldwyn girl]

Amy Jeanne, yes it is Simplicity 3748. Yours is cute and I love the dress.

I made this hat and put the border and bow applique on the viel. I need to move the bow over though as it's in a most distracting place right now. I am quite proud of this hat though. It came out almost exactly the way I envsioned it. It's taffeta over a buckram frame with cord trimming and beaded applique.

This is a pre made fram but I still like it. It's really tiny though.

 

[Lauren]

Those hats are great!

After years of wanting to I finally made the 1 Hour Dress! The dress itself would have taken about an hour, but then I got creative with a stained runner and added a collar, pockets, and a matching apron lol Took all in all about 2.5 or 3 hours.
