A page from the actual sewing book (which is a pretty good sewing book) 'Sewing made Easy' by Sally Stitch.
New Pattern Day Yay!
I'd like to introduce my newest reproduction.
I'm adding another day dress to the collection. This one has a great button yoke closure with a cute rever collar. There are optional cuffs for the short sleeves, and two pleats on the front of the skirt.
The pattern is in a 44 bust! I'm going to make this up for swing dancing!
I've also added more patterns to my etsy store, and I've created a new section called Extra Love Patterns. These patterns (ELP) are discounted because they might be missing pieces or not in the greatest condition, but they still have lots of life in them.
I think I'm going to make this new repro soon, it's too cute!!
Have a great day everyone!
Finished Dresses
Finished shots of the 'wearable mock up' of my knot dress. I am very pleased with the outcome of it.
Chambray alteration pt 1
Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all are still plugging away on your Make and Mend projects. I've been blog hopping and I'm seeing tons of people taking advantage of the Make and Mend mentality. It's inspiring! Keep it up!
I guess you could call this an alteration, though, with all the summer refashions going on in the sewing blogosphere, it seems to be an epidemic!
