Today I have some great archival clips I found on this cool footage site.

T3Media has tons of footage pieces available for purchase and licencing. Their search engine is cool and you can roll over a clip to have it play, or you can click on it to get a larger image.

I did a search of women WWII and found all of these.

MOT 1945: women

WAC Follow the Boys to Victory

MOT 1943: Factories

It's a cool site and has tons of footage. It's only clips though. I'd love to see a site that has tons of full footage.

If you all have a site that you'd like me to share, let me know.

Have a great day! 

Quilt Progress and Photo Shoot

Happy Tuesday one and all. Yesterday I go into work and they have a real Christmas tree going up in the corner of the office. The smell was lovely. I guess the office will decorate it soon. I also had my first candy cane of the season. Oh yes, the Holidays are here.

Photo shoot: My work attire for Thursday.

I felt like wearing a dress yesterday. It's going to be cold and rainy for the rest of the weekend but I wanted to wear a dress, dammit. You know how you get those urges. 

Most of my dresses are a bit large, and my wool ones are too large. 

Cool Vintage things on the Internet

Happy Thursday everyone!

So sorry about the lack of posts this week. I've been drawing and as soon as I get home from work, I'm all about that. I have been sewing, finishing up a dress, and this weekend I plan on starting some of the MnM projects I've been prepping. A hat from my new repro being one of them...hehehehe.

But this week I have an oldie but goodie. 

I mentioned this on a previous catalog Sunday but it's so cool, I think it deserves another shout out.

Hi everyone!

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I'm just resizing the robe pattern and frankly, that's not much to write a post about.

I did want to introduce a new segment to my blog. I'm thinking of doing it weekly, so we will see. I find a lot of cool stuff online, and people send me a lot of links that I think are awesome so here is Cool Vintage things on the Internet.

The blog Autostraddle has a series called '150 years of lesbians' where you see lovely ladies from the early time of the photograph to today. So many cool styles and clothes.

These are two of my favorite images they compiled from all over the web.

If you all find any cool links, blogs, etc that are of the vein of my interests of this blog (vintage sewing, size issues, women, people of color) pass them along so we can all get a kick out of them!

Have a great day!
