This one is a giant step out of my comfort zone! I normally avoid high necks, slimmer skirts and am terrified of mixing prints but I think I'm happy with it.

Love it, Kamikat!

Looks good on you.
Well done Kamikat.

I bought a sewing machine off my landlady yesterday - still trying to identify the year - but the most exciting part for me is that it actually works. I'll probably end up sewing my fingers the first time i try to sew something. We shall see.

And that's a beautiful dress, Kamikat! The top color is great!!

I recently made this dress in Liberty cotton/wool blend fabric, from Butterick 2592, dated 1943

Kamikat,
That dress is beautiful and looks great on you! (and your dog is beautiful too!)

Tuppencehapenny,
Your dress is beautiful too! The whole look is great! (But it is your gloves I really want to steal!)

gorgeous Kamikat and Tuppence!!

I get so inspired by you all and the beautiful clothes you make that I am booking myself on a sewing course! Soon I am hoping to join you girls in here with something of my own!

[tuppencehapenny]

Good luck on your sewing course, LinaSofia - can't wait to see what you make first!

Yesterday I completed this skirt from McCall's "instant" 1-yard pattern - having started it two years ago!

I finally got around to downloading a photo of my Christmas 2011 outfit. I made both the dress and the flower clip. The pattern used was the delightful Ceylon from Colette Patterns.

Gorgeous dress and hair, Jenniferose! It really suits you!

Now, I'm dying to know...what's in the Wizard of Oz box under the tree?

That's The Wizard of Oz box set. It has the restored film and lots of special features, 4 discs!

This is one of the Vintage Vogue reprints, 8728. It's a rayon jersey, which isn't authentic, but makes for a very comfortable dress.

Kamikat, what a lovely dress! It looks great on you. That style and the lovely drapy fabric may not be an authentic match, but they're a good one!

That pattern is a current favorite of Erin's at A Dress A Day. http://www.dressaday.com/
She has made tons of them! I have it, too, and sewed it this past fall. I am thinking it would be very nice in a knit fabric.Yours looks very nice!

Beautiful dress, Kamikat!!

Yesterday I finally finished my first "One Hour Dress" using this book:

It only took me two weeks! lol Has anyone used this method? I made it up in muslin just to try it out. Here is the result.

I think it has potential, although this first attempt probably will be worn at most as a house dress (the white muslin is a little flimsy & see through!) I have a nice print cotton I want to try it in now that I know it will work.
