This line drawing is easier to look at and see the pieces of the pattern. It’s from the Vogue/McCall’s web site. Just click the pattern photo in the previous entry or this one & scroll down the page to see it.
Sometimes photos and/or drawings just don’t show clearly what’s what, so I find I usually go to these drawings before buying a pattern. Wonder how the pattern companies evolved these? Might be interesting marketing history!
If you’ve ever thought about trying out a vintage sewing, knitting, or crochet pattern now’s the time!
Katherine over at We Sew Retro has put together a list of Etsy folks all offering discounts this weekend.
Check them out ~ happy shopping!
Guess who’s in Folkwear Pattern’s Photo Gallery, having used their eyelash pocket pattern on the summer skirt? Go see what goodies others have concocted, and be inspired! 😉
Owner Kate is a delight. and she really means what she posts on her contact page: “Keep in touch – We depend on you for new ideas, suggestions for improvement, and all-around inspiration…”
Huge thank you to Kate for her post & pattern!
Ever pursue sleep only to have vivid projects pop up instead of sleepy sheep?
Working on the transitional green skirt must have put wheels in motion without my realizing. You know there are plenty of UFOs lying around here! But those are summer-related, and Autumn’s starting — it’s already almost the middle of September!
~ Rather than waste possible inspiration, yours truly got up & dragged out a solid green silk that’s been hibernating in The Stash for several years.
~ Then, from the bottom of The Pile On The Sewing Table came a blue & green paisley piece contemplated last Spring.
~ Just for spice, I dragged out a blue Banana Republic skirt that needs its nonexistent hem lowered.
Can’t wait for the new season to begin. Don’t know about others, but I watch costuming so closely I forget to listen to dialogue… although it’s really a trifle earlier than my 1930’s-40’s preferences, they use lace so I watch & learn more things to do with it. sigh….. 2013 can’t arrive soon enough for all us fans on this side of the pond!
Check out the hat in this scene… and the dialogue.
Momentary doubt as to whether “jabot” was reeealy the correct term to use in a previous post’s photo, so did a quick online search. Yes, according to wiki here (lovely photo, isn’t it). Continue reading jabot?
Here’s a quick thing I didn’t have time to share until now. Continue reading a quick project
