That dress turned out great, SayCiCi

Here are two more shirts I made from my altered 40s pattern. I made new front and facing pieces with a shawl collar look. The top one is from a new cotton. The bottom one is from that vintage stash I had. I adore the fabric, but feel like a heel for putting the buttons on the wrong side :eusa_doh: I paid attention throughout the entire construction, so I feel a bit upset about it.

LD, lovely blouses! I like the patterns and colors!
Did you always have that tat? Have I been away that long?! Pretty!

 

[Inky]

Love the blouses LD - and you're the one that's going to notice the buttons more than anyone else - I totally understand - but they both look terrific!

Inky and Lauren, fabulous jeans!! :eusa_clap

I'm loving all of the plaid I'm seeing here.

I've been embellishing shoes, mostly Marie Antoinette or Victorian style~
these were already beaded:

I'm eager to start sewing some costumes soon! Everyone have their Halloween garb picked out?

Maybe it's just modified menswear? lol

LD, those blouses are fantastic! Don't worry about the buttons. No one else will notice. I'm sure we've all done it. I've even put in a fly zipper on the wrong side.

Ohairas, those shoes are fabulous!

LD I really love those blouses, especially the first one. They suit you well.

 

[Mrs. Merl]

When it comes to buttons and such I am sure most people these days don't even knows there is a difference, truth be told. Not to mention people like me wear so much guy's clothing nobody would notice anyway. You're shirts are just too cute anyway, Lady Day.

 

[Mrs. Merl]

Those shoes are great! I would never have thought of such a good idea. Very lovely, Ohairas!

 

[Lauren]

LD, I love the first blouse! That fabric's really great.

OHairas, SO fun! I've been wanting to try modifying shoes for a while- you're really inspiring! I bet those are fun to wear

LD, those blouses are fantastic! Don't worry about the buttons. No one else will notice. I'm sure we've all done it.

Yeah, I know, and thanks ladies.
Ive totally done it before in many earlier projects, but Im trying to pay attention to the details and its my VINTAGE fabric :eusa_doh:

I made another purse using some scrap wool and some silk at the lining given to me by a friend
This one turned out pretty good, I lined the buckram with cotton batting to give it more stability. This one was also quicker than the last one I made, less hand stitching (still a lot) then before because of some of the techniques I used.

I like it a lot, even the two MOP buttons I layered to make it look cool.
