I didn't make this all - it's from Vermont Country Store actually, but I did take it in at the waist, and cut off nearly 6 inches from the hem and made a belt using Dritz belting and a vintage white buckle. I think it looks much better than the original and I hope you do too.

Stunning. The alterations are perfect!

Oh, Inky, that turned out really pretty! The length is great, and the red shoes are darling with it. Too cute, lady!

Inky, that's adorable! I love what you did- it looks super vintage

Here's some things I made this weekend, and I wrote more about them and have more pics here.

I feel like I got a lot done! Yay!

Lauren, I couldn't love your hooded dress more if I tried! I've never seen a dress like it, but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a pattern like yours. I like your trousers very much too - were they from the "Nautical Influence" pattern? You look fantastic in both outfits... I feel so inspired and really must dust off my sewing machine soon!

Flannel goodness?

[Lauren]

Thanks, ladies! Yes, they're the nautical inspired ones. This is the second time I've made them, and I love it! LD, they are made of lightweight denim. Super flowy and great for summer wear

 

[kamikat]

Lauren, those trousers look perfect, it doesn't look like you need a bigger pair, like you say in the blog post.

 

[Shirin]

Inky that dress is utterly delicious!
Lauren I envy your sewing abilities.That hooded dress is just too cute! and I'm so in love with the style of those trousers. Are they from an evadress pattern?

 

[Amy Jeanne]

Inky and Lauren!!!! Gah!! In my sewing queue I've got a sailor dress drom 1972 that I'm going to alter to look more 30s and I've also got Hollywood 9919, which is "pyjama trousers" as advertised by Priscilla Lane.

Yours both look great and I want to now sew three things at once

 

[Miss Sis]

Right! You've finally done it! Enough of my procrastinating in here - I'm off to get on with making all the things I have to before the beginning of August!

*Sound of slamming door and footsteps running to sewing machine*

 

[Lauren]

Bwhahaha! Evil plan worked! kidding...
But seriously, you guys have me super intimidated- all your crowd looks so perfectly 30s that I HAD to make new things!
Thanks bunches ladies for the compliments on my dress and pants! Back to the sewing machine for me...

I took some more pics of sewing things that I forgot yesterday

[SayCici]

Lauren! You are a sewing goddess. I love everything, especially the first one - the wind in the ruffles in the picture make it look so 30s-out-in-space, haha. And I'm such a sucker for bows, so you really got me on the green dress and the hat!

 

[Blondie]

I finally finished this dress. A friend wanted me to make a vintage piece for his wife. They are expecting their first child. I helped him buy the pattern, and picked out the fabric. It was also my first time working with a maternity pattern.

Its such a cute dress. The collar is detachable, and the belt tie casing is sewn beneath the back of the dress. I also added a little embroidery on the jacket (linen). The dress is a cotton calico. The buttons are wood.

It has to be one of the most labor intensive garments Ive ever made. I think it was the pleats, though. Im going to send it out Monday, I hope she likes it

LD

Lady Day, i wish i was your friend and getting a cute frock in the post !!!!

BEAUTIFUL!

I have made that hat, it ain't easy. Funny, mine came out really tight (and I have a tiny head) and yours looks like it came out loose. What a difference in fit.
