What I'm working on...
Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my dress! I really enjoyed making (and wearing) it!
This weekend I'm working on the first year of my Sewing through the Decades challenge--1931! I am super excited to try out another EvaDress pattern:
There are so many things I love about this pattern! I think it is super classy looking and will be great to wear to the office or out on the town. I love the unique sleeve and collar details and am planning to use some of my left over faux fur fabric for this! The instructions are very minimal but hopefully if I take it slow, I'll figure them all out! :-)

I'm tackling my first 1940s pattern, meaning instructions are few and far between! (I'm returning to sewing after a looooong time, so I'm basically a novice, but I have a good reference book and some modern patterns with more explicit instructions for the steps that are skipped in the vintage pattern.)

ps. I loved your last dress in red satin!
I know you will make a great job of it. your valentine dress was very special. Did you know that there is a new period drama starting on BBC1 at nine O'clock tomorrow evening.It is called South Riding and is set in 1934. I am sure you would enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! Very, very classy.
ReplyDeleteI need to start cutting out my fabric for the Swing Dress Sew-Along, and I have another muslin on the side for a 50s shirtwaist dress, once I feel confident enough I can get a dress under my belt I'll go back to that. :)
Lovely pattern can't wait to see the results. I want to tackle some 30's patterns soon but I know the instrictions are usually more vague and they assume you have lots more knowledge that I probably lack.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I hope EvaDress patterns work for you -- I can never get them to fit right and their sizing is inconsistent. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on Simplicity 5408 - the red dot dress. I'm a really slow seamstress. :) I plan on making the Kate Jeans and a stripey knit top for MMMarch.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a house dress with the same style collar as this! I love the shape and way the wrap front fits. I'm looking forward to seeing this outfit finished!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! Can't wait to see it made up. I am working on... well, coursework. No sewing right now. I have been tinkering with a dress pattern, trying to work out how to do a FBA on it to make it fit... and I am thinking about making a nice easy summer sundress for my daughter. But it's the term paper that is calling me right now! (that and preparing to potentially move to the States... wow.) I am sewing vicariously through blogs right now!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'm knitting a sweater from 1936 right now; I need to take a garment-construction class if I can find one around here. (And I need to clean up my craft room so I actually have room to sew.) Can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteLoving the lines on this pattern--I can't wait to see your version! :)
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm mostly finishing up that Swing Dress and figuring out if I want to make a matching belt or white linen one to wear with it. ;) I'm also starting to gear up to make a 1910s blouse from some Swiss Dot I picked up last week. Oh, and I really need to finish some cushion covers for the sofa this week too!

Ooh! That's going to be lovely!
ReplyDeleteI just pulled out an EvaDress pattern from the stash last night and the fabric, so itching to start a new project for myself :)
Green crepe paired with a 30s rayon print I've been hording for years.
I better hurry if I want to make the contest deadline. hehe.
