1940s style halter top recreation.
Hi everyone!
Hope your week was good and you are gearing up for the weekend!
I am so booked this weekend, going to a vegan festival tomorrow, working, and seeing friends.
One friend I saw this past week asked me to help her with her costume for her dance performance at Camp Hollywood this weekend. She's part of the JR LA Shag team and she needed to have a top remade to work with her partner's costume.
She brought in this rayon halter that was super cute and with a few modifications (because the new fabric was cotton) I drafted a pattern off the blouse and was able to make her blouse.
The fabric I got to work with was this cute Hawaiian/Tiki novelty print with these super tan surfer boys!

Hi all! Hope you had a great weekend.
I spent my weekend drafting a pattern and making a slew of hats.

The Leigh-Ann is available!
Hi ho everyone!
Posting an update that my newest vintage repro pattern, The Leigh-Ann is available in my etsy store!
The PDF is available ASAP, and the paper version has been sent to the printers. I expect it to start shipping by the first week in September (fingers crossed).
Okay, back to sewing work!
