Day 14: My 'Ruffled Goodness' blouse made with Simplicity 1222 (pictured below) and my 'Yipppeeee Trousers' made with Simplicity 3688 (also pictured below) worn with a cardigan my mom gave me.
Day 15: My 1937 'Birthday Dress Suit' made with McCall 9156 (pictured below)
Day 16: My 'Pumpkin Pie' Dress, which is view B from the Style Print 1283 pattern below.
Day 17: I didn't even realise that I wore my two iterations of the Style Print pattern two days in a row! This is my 'Midcentury Madness' dress or view A of the Style Print 1283 pattern above.
Day 18: I wore my 'Union Jack Peek-A-Boo' hooded dress from the 1940 McCall pattern no. 3678 (pictured below). I might just have to wear this again for the Diamond Jubilee next month as it has a fun union jack lining!
Day 20: Sunshine has arrived in Scotland! To celebrate, I wore my 'Now or Never' halter top and the 'Perfect Day' matching bolero and skirt outfit. The halter and bolero are from Simplicity 3879 and the skirt is a modification of the skirt from Butterick 8074.
Day 21: Anniversary day!! Can you believe I've never made cookies since David and I have been together? 9 years without baking!! My goodness...well I indulged us both by making some yummy chocolate chip cookies that went oh so well with champagne! hehehe. I wore my 'Whippin' Something Up' apron from the 1941 McCall pattern below and my 'Celebration' red velvet dress from Butterick 8132.
What a fun and varied week! Which pattern is your favourite from this week?
Love it all! The Now or Never Dress is adorable-well done!
ReplyDeleteI love that you shared the vintage patterns! :)
ReplyDeletereally lovely to see how the vintage outfits came to life x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pattern pictures, Debi. Pattern porn is the best.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!!! :) Thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa! It's a fun one to wear too!
ReplyDeleteDebi, can you PLEASE make me one of those adorable aprons? I could crochet you and your hubby hats... we could swap! Let me know what you think... Love ya!! Febi Dry!
ReplyDeleteDebi, you look as stunning as always and your outfits are just divine! I love the idea of showing your makes side-by-side with the pattern envelopes...it's a great touch!
ReplyDeleteI know it's not the part you made, but I am in love with the neckline on the Butterick 8074
ReplyDeleteLovely having the pattern inclusion! I've still not got the hang of visualising what patterns will look like once made up in the fabric of my choice, and to my own measurements, so posts like these, where I find both the pattern and your finished product drool-worthy help a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Ms Cleaver in that I'd really love to see the Butterick 8074 neckline made up at some stage. I'm also incredibly covetous over your ownership of McCall 3678 - I think it's a stunning design, and the way you've made it up and wear it is just perfect.
Great outfits. So unique and so you. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLook at Simplicity 3879, bottom right drawing - she's doing the sexy Bowie pose! hehehe
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully dressed lady you are, Deb. A MM wardrobe to be proud of!
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous things - the ruffled blouse and birthday suit dress are my fave. You really are talented with a needle!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea to show the patterns! Thanks for taking the time to post them with your outfits!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I don't know how I missed the Midcentury Madness Dress the first time around, but it made me gasp when I saw it just now. The colors! The print! The shirtwaistiness! I want to steal it. ;)
ReplyDeleteNiiiice. Every box ticked. The winged collar dress is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge compliment coming from someone whose outfits I ADORE :) Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThe Midcentury Madness dress is one of my all-time favourites...it all just came together! Thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maryanne!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Michelle! I do like seeing the pattern covers again too! Unfortunately, in a moment of madness, I sold my Butterick 8074 (I went through a weird...I'm not into the 1950's look phase.....which of course, I am NOW! hahahaha). So I'm keeping my eyes out for it again!
ReplyDeleteI was just telling Michelle that in a moment of madness, I sold my Butterick 8074! I'd love to sew it up at some point ---so I'm on the look-out for the pattern again (silly me!)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I didn't notice the sexy bowie pose! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of all you seamstresses with this me-made stuff. So much gorgeousness!
ReplyDeleteI have to see if I can track down that pattern for the hooded dress..I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteYou can pull off vintage like no one else!
ReplyDeleteI love that you shared the pattern images with us! So fantastic :) Your cookies look divine - I hope you had a fabulous evening celebrating together!! PS - your hooded dress is still one of my favorite things EVER.
ReplyDeleteLove the red,you look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! What a wonderful wardrobe. I love seeing the patterns alongside the finished garments. Truly inspirational. Thank you Debi. I love each and every one of your gorgeous creations x
