Pattern Panic

2007-11-05T18:17:00.000+11:00

Some lovely frocks I will be making soon.

Vintage Ventures

2007-11-03T17:56:00.001+11:00

I made a top from Vogue Vintage Re-release pattern V2859. It was more difficult than i had first expected ("Oh ho, it only has four pattern pieces, it won't be that hard"). There were a couple of details that i found lacking in the instructions, like how to finish the shoulders where the back piece meets the neckline. I fumbled my way through.

I also added a peplum/yoke around the bottom as i found the finished shirt slightly too short. I will leave all the navel gazing to Britney Spears (Oh please woman, put it away!).

Anyhoo, I am pretty happy with the finished product though and will definitely make it again, maybe from a nice floppy silk.

Mr Hawaii

2007-11-01T09:44:00.001+11:00

In the absence of a new frock, I made my nephew a 50's style Hawaiian/Bowling shirt for his birthday with vintage Barkcloth fabric and smiley face buttons. I think he quite likes it as when asked "How cool are you Leo?", his enthusiastic response was "Very Coooooool".
